Mehedeby

This location is mentioned in the following paragraphs:

(§43) Night came on now and I therefore hastened to Mehede.

(§44) 13th. MEHEDE, 14 miles. Here I saw 'Taxus' growing wild: they call it yew or yew-tree. 'Anemonoides' [Wood Anemone] was growing everywhere in the forest. Some people - quite absurdly -make a distinction between it and 'Anemone' and one can only suppose that they have never seen 'Anemone'. 'Hepatica' and 'Oxys' [Wood-sorrel] were also growing here. It is interesting that all their flowers were closed today. Who has given the plants the intelligence to cover themselves against rain as all these three do? They do so even when the weather changes moment by moment from sunshine, which causes them to unfurl their tapestries, to rain, when they cover them.
