And here's one of the poems from that period:

ACTAEA

the lobes again two-lipped
as the corolla of sage twice folded
together in two plates, lamellae
occupying two rows, one within
the other, doubly serrate
as when the teeth of a leaf &c
like the calyx of silene
with the lobes again pinnatifid,
twice-pinnatifid,
thin and inflated,
as most anthers, two-lipped
the same as two-lobed,
concave within and keeled
without, in shape like a small boat,
the stigma of mimulus
