| Notes: | Label source: 'Weather spider'. This marvellous hygrometric plant has the property of indicating changes in the weather. If fine weather may be expected the arms turn to the right, if rain they turn to the left. Must be hung in a current of air. 'Eve, ning red and morning grey Will set the traveller on this way, Evening grey and morning red Will bring down rain upon his head.' Alf King, Wholesale imported of Hort Curios. | ||||
