Eylau — Chambers's Encyclopaedia

Eylau, a town of 3546 inhabitants, 23 miles S. of Königsberg by rail. Here Napoleon encountered the allies—Russians and Prussians—under Bennigsen, February 8, 1807. Darkness came on while the contest was still undecided; but as Napoleon had a considerable force of fresh troops close at hand, the allies retired during the night upon Königsberg. Their loss is estimated at about 20,000; that of the French is set down at 10,000, but must have been considerably greater. The place is called Preussisch-Eylau, to distinguish it from Deutsch-Eylau, a town of 5574 inhabitants, 89 miles NE. of Bromberg.

The flowers are small, tubular, and hang in clusters from the leaf axils. A separate, more detailed drawing of the root system is shown at the bottom, illustrating its parasitic nature as it clings to the roots of other plants. — Common Eyebright
