"To
her
sweet
mem'ry
flowing
garlands
strung,
On
her
now
empty
seat
aloft
were
hung."
Indeed,
in
all
the
ceremonial
observances
of
life,
from
the
cradle
to
the
grave,
flowers
have
formed
a
prominent
feature,
the
symbolical
meaning
long
attached
to
them
explaining
their
selection
on
different
occasions.

CHAPTER
XIII.
PLANT
NAMES.
The
origin
and
history
of
plant
names
is
a
subject
of
some
magnitude,
and
is
one
that
has
long
engaged
the
attention
of
philologists.
Of
the
many
works
published
on
plant
names,
that
of
the
"English
Dialect
Society"[1]
is
by
far
the
most
complete,
and
forms
a
valuable
addition
to
this
class
of
literature.
Some
idea
of
the
wide
area
covered
by
the
nomenclature
of
plants,
as
seen
in
the
gradual
evolution
and
descent
of
vernacular
names,
may
be
gathered
even
from
a
cursory
survey
of
those
most
widely
known
in
our
own
and
other
countries.
Apart,
too,
from
their
etymological
associations,
it
is
interesting
to
trace
the
variety
of
sources
from
whence
plant
names
have
sprung,
a
few
illustrations
of
which
are
given
in
the
present
chapter.
