the Thoreau Log.
25 August 1857. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  P.M.—To Hill and meadow.

  Plucked a Lilium Canadense at three-ribbed goldenrod wall, six and eight twelfths feet high, with a pyramid of seed-vessels fourteen inches long by nine wide, the first an irregular or diagonal whorl of six, surmounted by a whorl of three. The upper two whorls of leaves are diagonal or scattered . . .

(Journal, 10:13-14)
