10. SPEEDWELL. "The Germander Speedwell is a slender, wiry plant, whose
stem sometimes creeps along the surface of the ground before it grows
upwards. The flowers have four small petals of the brightest blue, and
within the flower at the foot of the petals is a small white circle, with
a little white eye looking up. Two stamens with crimson heads rise from
this white circle, and in the very centre of the flower there is a tiny
green seed-vessel, with a spike coming out of the top."--_C. B. Smith_.
