convolvulus

1 The plant which thus by its corruption gave birth to the human species was the convolvulus.

2 There was a warm dry earth-wall with heath and thyme and rest-harrow and convolvulus growing on it, and there we sat down.

3 Great stands of nettles and strange plants flourish: nightshade, poisonous legumes, convolvulus, digitalis, Afghan poppies, cannabis, aphrodisiacs, psychotropic plants.

4 But have they not their rivals in the climbing honeysuckle and in the bright-eyed creeping convolvulus?

5 On either side the jungle rose to the height of about two hundred feet--a tangled mass of vegetation, of creepers, vines, convolvuli, so densely interwoven as to give the effect of endless walls.

6 "You have such faith in my gods," he went on, when he could get her away from the convolvulus, "such a bravery of belief, such a dear bravery of belief."

7 Then I turned and dragged a trail of golden-leaved convolvulus from the hedge, and I twisted it into a coronet for her.

8 The second picture represents, on a marble plinth in a niche, a melon, a pear, and a bunch of black grapes with roses, convolvuluses, poppies, and other flowers.

9 The garden, too, was well planted, and all along the wire fence, entirely covering it, were wild convolvuluses.

10 Travellers are especially struck with the beauty of some of the wild flowers, more especially with the lilies and convolvuluses; and European greenhouses have been enriched by several Formosan orchids and other ornamental plants.

11 In the season the large white bell-like flowers of the convolvulus will climb over the hawthorn, and the lesser striped kind will creep along the ground.

12 I think it would be as well to drive it right in like this—it will save further trouble; this wild convolvulus takes such a strong hold of the soil.”

13 Do you suppose their brows were wreathed with the honeysuckle’s second autumn bloom, with streaked convolvulus and bronzed ears of wheat?

14 Now and again a tiny bright-coloured bird would flash across the path, now and again a huge trail of giant convolvulus, blue as the sky, would bar our progress.

15 The girl wore a marine blue dress with white lace trimmings, and she had on her head a straw hat with a wreath of red convolvulus.

16 Emily found a smear of blood on a beautiful trail of yellow convolvulus.

17 Down there broadleaved convolvuli and creepers had formed a natural bower above a projecting block of stone, in which even at high noon one could sit almost in the dark.

18 But over the seaward walls of villa and ch�teau peep valerian and fig, and the path is coral-sprinkled with pimpernel and enamelled with convolvulus and borage and the hosts of smaller flowers.

19 By the wayside the convolvulus was opening its big pink cups.

20 As a humped convolvulus rearing its dragon’s head from an icy lake.
