    botany. Tradition and Innovation. The collections of the Renaissance papacywere well supplied with authoritative works on botany and materia medica.  
    http://www.ibiblio.org/expo/vatican.exhibit/exhibit/g-nature/Botany.html
    
    Extractions: No scientific subject, perhaps, produced a larger, a more curious, or a more splendidly illustrated literature than the world of plants. Greek medical men and scientists, Roman encyclopedists, and medieval doctors compiled and recompiled herbals, generally taking special interest in those plants that were thought to be of medicinal valueas hundreds were. The Vatican Library is a great repository of this tradition, in which direct observation and inherited stereotypes, empirical evidence and wild fantasy, jostled for centuries. Galen "De simplicium medicamentorum temperamentis ac facultatibus" (excerpts), harmonized with Dioscorides, "De materia medica" (excerpts), and other works. In Greek, Byzantium, Tenth century, Illustrations added in Byzantine territory, fourteenth century This manuscript, a harmonization of excerpts from two of the most important writers on materia medica of antiquity, was assembled in Byzantium in the tenth century. Most of the substances named in the work are plants. Illustrations were added in the mid- fourteenth century to enhance the practical usefulness of the work. Although many of the illustrationslike the molluscs shown on this pageare strikingly naturalistic, most are copied from much earlier models. Vat. gr. 284 fols. 232 verso-233 recto nature01 NAN.17

58. Botany/primula
    Introduction to the types, characteristics and care involved.  
    http://www.botany.com/primula.html
    
    Extractions: PRIMULA (Prim'ula) DESCRIPTION: POTTING - Hardy Primulas: The bog kinds of Primulas grow best in wet places such as the bog garden, streamside or pond. They can, however, be grown successfully if they are watered generously in dry weather and if they're given a soil so rich in humus or vegetable matter it acts like a sponge and soaks in and retains moisture easily. Large quantities of leaf mold, cow manure, peat moss, or sphagnum moss should be mixed into the soil. An area that is shaded from strong sunshine should be chosen to plant these Primulas. The rock and cliff dwelling Primulas grow the best in rock gardens in loamy soil that has good drainage and never becomes too dry. Leaf mold, sand and a bit of limestone or rubble added would be beneficial. Greenhouse Primulas: PROPAGATION - Hardy Primulas: Greenhouse Primulas: VARIETIES - Hardy Primulas: Bog or Woodland Dwelling: (The English Primrose) P. vulgaris (P. acaulis) and its variety P. vulgaris rubra; Polyanthus Primrose; P. alpicola; P.beesiana; P. bullesiana; P. bulleyana; P. cockburniana; P. cortusoides; P. denticulata; P. elatior; P. florindae; P. helodoxa; P. japonica; P. nutans (Dies after flowering, replant seeds yearly); P. pulverulenta; P. rosea; P. sieboldii; P. sikkimensis; P. veris (Cowslip); P. whytei.

60. The Mysterious Venus' Flytrap
    Comprehensive information about this plant that eats meat and also includes includes information on how to grow one.  
    http://www.botany.org/bsa/misc/carn.html
    
    Extractions: Just like other plants, Venus' Flytraps gather nutrients from gases in the air and nutrients in the soil. However, they live in poor soil and are healthier if they get nutrients from insects. Carnivorous plants live all over the world but Venus' Flytraps live only in select boggy areas in North and South Carolina. Because of people's fascination with these plants, they collected many of them and they became endangered. Venus' Flytraps today are grown in greenhouses. The leaves of Venus' Flytrap open wide and on them are short, stiff hairs called trigger or sensitive hairs. When anything touches these hairs enough to bend them, the two lobes of the leaves snap shut trapping whatever is inside. The trap will shut in less than a second. The trap doesn't close all of the way at first. It is thought that it stays open for a few seconds in order to allow very small insects to escape because they wouldn't provide enough food. If the object isn't food, e.g., a stone, or a nut, the trap will reopen in about twelve hours and 'spit' it out. When the trap closes over food, the cilia. finger-like projections, keep larger insects inside. Fold your hands together lacing your fingers to see what the trap looks like. In a few minutes the trap will shut tightly and form an air-tight seal in order to keep the digestive fluids inside and bacteria out.
