Crossword-Solution: ADOXA 5 letters, 1 clue 🏆 scrabble score: 13

Central and perfectly developed flowers in not a few plants in their normal condition (for instance, the common Rue and Adoxa) differ slightly in structure, as in the number of the parts, from the other flowers on the same plant.

MOSCATEL (_Adoxa Moschatellina_).—This dainty little green-headed plant is one of the harbingers of spring.

Xanthoxylum, Lilium giganteum! Polytrichium fuscescens, Trichostomum anielangioides, Pohlia, on walls and rocks, Adoxa! in wet places under banks, with a fleshy Urticea: about this was observed the brick-red and black bird.

The plants are mainly shrubs and trees; British representatives are _Sambucus_ (elder), _Viburnum_ (guelder-rose and wayfaring tree), _Lonicera_ (honeysuckle) (see fig.); _Adoxa_ (moschatel), a small herb with a creeping stem and small yellowish-green flowers, is occasionally found on damp hedge-banks; _Linnaea_, a slender creeping evergreen with a thread-like stem and pink bell-shaped flower, a northern plant, occurs in fir-forests and plantations in the north of England and Scotland.

Here were many uncommon plants, as _Fumaria bulbosa minima_, _Campanula serpyllifolia_ (_Linnæa borealis_), _Adoxa moschatellina_, &c., all in greater perfection than ever I saw them before.
