What reading level is Our Northern Shrubs And How to Identify Them : a Handbook for the Nature-Lover book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Calyx. — Deeply five-pointed, persistent; lobes triangular- ovate, acute. Disk ten-lobed.
Corolla. — White, globose, urn-shaped, about one-fourth of an inch in diameter, five-toothed ; teeth recurved.
Stamens. — Ten, included ; filaments bearded ; anthers ovate, obtuse, awned, fixed near the middle; cells opening by a termi- nal pore.
Fruit. — Capsule, globose, five -celled, five-valved, many- seeded.
This plant is always fixed in some turfy hillock in the midst of swamps, as Andromeda herself ...was chained to a rock in the sea which bathed her feet as the fresh water does the roots of this plant.
— "Tour of Lapland. " Linn. -eus.
The lonely position of this little shrub in the midst of its native swamps seems to have impressed Linnaeus to a wonderful degree ; and consequently^ he named it Andromeda — the rock-bound maiden. It is a semi- aquatic, subarctic plant, and like so many of its kind knows no distinction between Europe, America or Asia, but is native to all. Although it loves the cold deep swamps that border the limits of eternal snow, nevertheless when transferred to the garden border it will grow and flower as freely^ as in its native wilds.
