Tatoeba + Wiktionary

Here the earth was strangely carpeted. Spagnum, beautiful by reason of rich color; gray-green moss; and the object of our long tramp--pyxie. No botany does it justice, passing it by with the mere mention of its barbarous name, Pyxidanthera barbulata. It might be thought the meanest of all weeds, but is, in truth, the chiefest glory of this wonderful region.
