PREFACE
Jn this Encyclopaedia are included all the indigenous, cultivated, and exotic
plants which are now found in, or have been introduced into, Britain. The object
of the work is to give a natural history of these plants, accompanied by such
descriptions, engraved figures, and elementary details, as shall enable a beginner,
who is a mere English reader, to discover the name of any plant which he may
find in flower, refer it to its proper place, both in the Natural and Artificial
Systems of Classification, and acquire all the information respecting it which is
useful or interesting. It must be evident to all who are conversant with the present
state of botany, and who know the number of plants which have been introduced
into Britain, that to accomplish such an object within the limits of a volume is a
task of no ordinary difficulty ; some explanation of the manner in which it has been
executed may therefore be required.
The Work is divided into Two Parts. The First Part (p. [1.]) contains the
Linnean or Artificial Arrangement of all the genera and species, with all the
details comprehended in botanical description and natural and artificial botanical
history, and with engraved portraits of one or more species of each genus. The
Second Part (p. 1051.) contains the Jussieuean or Natural Arrangement of all the
genera, without repetition of the species or any details connected with them : but
as the names of the natural orders are added after each genus in the Artificial
System, and as each genus in both arrangements is numbered, a direct reference
may be had from the second arrangement to the first, and from the first to the
second ; reference may also be had indirectly, through the medium of the Contents
and Index.
An Introduction is given to each system of arrangement (p. [l.]& 1051.), and
a General Introduction to the whole work (p. xix.), in which its uses are explained.
When the beginner has a plant in flower and would ascertain its name, he will
turn to the Linnean System, as explained in the Introduction to that system
(p. [1.]) ; and, when he has but a small part of any plant, he will turn to the Natural
System, as directed in the General Introduction (p. xix.).
All the Technical Terms, or words not usually found in an English dictionarv,
are explained in the Glossary (p. 1094.) ; and engravings are given of such of
the objects designated " as might occasion any difficulty to a beginner. This
Glossary and the two Introductions (p. [1.] & 1051.) form together a complete
Grammar of Botany.
The Table of Synonymes in various languages (p. 1 108.) may, to a certain
extent, be considered as presenting the Popular Floras of the various countries where
these names are used ; since it is only to the remarkable plants of a country that
vernacular names are given.
The signs used for the habits of plants (column 3.), and their duration in the
garden (col. 4.), are improvements in botanical description by the Editor*, now
applied for the first time. The twenty-three varieties of habit are indicated by
figures of the plants themselves ; as a grass for a grass, a bulb for a bulb, a plant
floating on water for an aquatic, &c, &c, to recollect which requires no exertion
of memory. A perennial is indicated by a triangle, instead of the old sign, U;
an annual remains a circle as before, O, because, among other reasons, gardeners
sow patches of annual flowers in circles ; and a biennial is a double circle, Q), instead
of the old sign, i. The bark stove is a square, □ ; the dry stove three sides of a
square, ZD ; the green-house two and a half sides of a square, i I ; and the frame two
sides of a square, I ; because these forms, if supposed to indicate the sections of
plant-houses enclosed by glazed sashes, as actually built, will represent the different
structures which are meant to be indicated. By combining the signs of duration
with habitation, 22 22 O Ol, &c. &c, much room is saved in abridged botanical
description. Thus, in consequence of the single innovation of the triangle and the

square, we have simplified anJ extended the power of indicating the habits anc*
habitations of plants by signs from ten, the usual number in the most complete
botanical catalogues, to forty, the number employed in this work.
No farther explanation of the nature and uses of this work appearing necessary,
it only remains to present the thanks of the Proprietors and of the Editor to
Aylmer Bourke Lambert, Esq., F.R.S. V.P.LS. F.G.S. &c, for allowing
Mr. Sowerby the freest use of his rich botanical library and extensive herbarium,
for the selection of subjects to be engraved ; and to David Don, Esq., Lib. L.S.,
Mr. Lambert's librarian, for his unremitted and unwearied exertions, during
upwards of seven years, to facilitate the labours of Mr. Sowerby. To Robert
Brown, Esq., F.R.S. V.P.L.S. &c- ; to the Council of the Linnaean Society;
and, again, to David Don, Esq., in his capacity of librarian to the Linnaean
Society, the Proprietors are much indebted for similar services; and they beg leave
to thank, in a very particular manner, Messrs. Loddiges of Hackney, for original
drawings of many species, made from living plants in their unrivalled collection
of exotics. Without the herbarium of Mr. Lambert, and the Hot houses of
Messrs. Loddiges, this work could not have been produced.
It remains only for the Editor to state, that the botanical merits of this
publication belong entirely to Professor Lindley, F.R.S. L.S. G.S. &c. ; and J.
D. C. Sowerby, Esq., F.L.S., &c. The former gentleman determined the genera
and the number of species to be arranged under them ; prepared the specific cha-
racters, derivations, and accentuations ; either wrote or examined the notes ;
and corrected the whole while passing through the press : the latter, assisted by
David Don, Esq., and Messrs. Loddiges, sought out the figures, dried specimens
or living plants, necessary for illustration, and made drawings of them on the blocks
to be engraved, in that accurate and scientific manner, and with that appropriate
taste, for which his late father was long so much distinguished, and for which
he himself has not yet been equalled in this or in any country. All that the
Editor can deem to be his own is the plan of the work ; and if this be found not
to have failed in answering those expectations which the state of science, in botany
and the compilation of books, might have warranted in 1822, when this work was
commenced, he will have obtained all the approbation to which he is entitled.
Baysxcater, May, 1829. J. C. L.
The Supplements which accompany the present edition of the Encyclopedia of
Plants contain the most important species and varieties of plants which have been
introduced into British gardens, or been originated there between 1827 and 1855. A
new General Index is also given. The First Additional Supplement was prepared by
Mr. W. H. Baxter, Curator of the Royal Botanic Garden, Oxford ; and revised
by George Don, Esq., F.L.S. ; and the Second Additional Supplement has been pre-
pared by Mr. Don, assisted by Mr. David Wooster, late Curator of the Museum
at Ipswich. The drawings of the plants for the woodcuts of both Supplements
have been made by J. D. C. Sowerby, Esq., F.L.S.
The First Additional Supplement was prepared by my late husband ; and in the
present one I have endeavoured, as closely as possible, to follow the same plan. As,
however, the publication of this Second Additional Supplement was unavoidably
delayed from the difficulty of finding living specimens or dried plants, to serve as copy
for some of the woodcuts, I have, assisted by Mr. Wooster, added an Appendix
containing the most important of the plants which have been introduced since the
letterpress of the Supplement was completed. In preparing this Appendix I have
been greatly indebted to the Bon Jardinier for the present year, published by M.
Louis Vii.morin, of Paris ; and to Messrs. Veitch, of Exeter, whose very able
collector, Mr. Lobb, has introduced so many new and valuable plants.

placed in the body of the work before such genera as are divided or repeated, and a!*o
in those places where new genera should have come in ; and a § before such species
as have some further information given respecting them in the Supplement.

follows g, q, or s, and when two vowels unite to form a diphthong. The diphthongs are <s, cc, ai, ei, oi, ui, an,
eu, and ou. These seldom coalesce in final syllables ; oo, ee, ea, and other combinations which never occur as
diphthongs in classical words, follow, in commemorative names, the pronunciation of their primitives, as
Teedi'a, Woudsm.
VOWELS.
In this work the accented vowels are indicated by the mark placed over each ; but as this only points out the
vowel on which the stress is laid, the following observations will be found useful in showing when the vowel
is to be sounded long, and when short. In addition to the primary accent, every word of more than three
syllables contains a secondary accent, which is regulated by the same rules. The secondary accent must always
be at least two syllables before the primary accent, as in Chelidonium; for its place the ear is a sufficient
guide, and even were it entirely omitted, still, however inharmonious, it would not be incorrect.
Every accented penultimate vowel is pronounced long, when followed by a vowel or a single consonant, as
.7chillea tomentosa ; but it is shortened when followed by two consonants or a double one, as Sorbus, Taxus ;
except when the first consonant is a mute and the second a liquid, as A'brus.
Every accented antepenultimate vowel, except u, is pronounced short, as Helltborus, i/umulus ; but when
succeeded by a single consonant, followed by e or i and another vowel, it is lengthened, as Stellaria ; except i,
which is short, as Tilia.
A unaccented, ending a word, is pronounced like the interjection ah, as Sticta {ah).
E final, with or without a consonant preceding, always forms a distinct syllable, as Silene, A'loe ; also when
the vowel is followed by a final consonant as Tri-ch6-ma-nes, not Tri-cho-manes.
/ unaccented, if final, sounds as if written eye, as Splcaventi (eye) ; but, when it ends a syllable not final, it
has the sound of e, as A/espilus (Mespelus), Smiths (Smithe-eye).
Y is subject to the same rules as i.
The diphthongs ee and n? conform to the rules for e ; ei is generally pronounced like eye ; the other diph-
thongs have the common English sounds.
CONSONANTS.
C and g are hard before a, o, and u, as Cornus, Galium ; soft before e , i, and y, as Cetraria, Citrus.
T, s, and c, before ia, ie, ii, io, iu, and eu, when preceded by the accent, change their sounds, t and c, into sh,
as Blet/a, J'icia ; and s into xh, as Blas/a : but, when the accent is on the first diphthongal vowel, the preceding
consonant preserves its sound, as aurantlacum,
Ch, before a vowel, is pronounced like k, as Chelidonium (kel), Colchicum (ko/kekum) ; but in comme-
morative names it follows their primitives, as RichardsbnrYi, in which the ch is soft.
Cm, en, ct, gm, gn, mn, tm, ps, pt, and other uncombinable consonants, when they begin a word, are pro-
nounced with the first letter mute, as Pteris (teris), Cnlcus {nikus), Gmellna (melina), Gnidia (nidia) ; in
the middle of a word they separate as in English, as iap-sana, j.em-na
Ph, followed bv a mute, is not sounded ; but, followed by a vowel or a liquid, sounds like/, as Phleum
(fleum).
Sch sounds like sk, as Schoe'nus (skenus) ; in tl and zm both letters are heard.
S, at the end of a word, has its pure hissing sound, as Dactylis ; except when preceded by e, r, or n, when it
sounds like z, as Ribes (e»).
X, at the beginning of a word, sounds like z, as Xanthium ; in any other situation it retains its own sound,
3s Taxus, Tamarix. (Extracted from the Gardener's Magazine, \ol. v. p. 232.)
GENERAL INTRODUCTION.
A he science of Botany consists of two departments, Phytology and Physiology. This
Encyclopaedia is exclusively devoted to the former department, and it is limited to the plants
in Britain, indigenous and exotic.
Phytology, or the History of Plants, comprehends the knowledge of the external parts of
plants, the determination of their names, their classification, their uses, their individual his-
tory, and their geography. The object of this work is to convey, in the most convenient
manner and in the least possible space, a knowledge of the various particulars which arrange
themselves under these heads.
A knowledge of the external parts of plants will be readily and agreeably obtained by
turning over the first 700 pages of this work at random, looking at the engravings, and
comparing them with the names and descriptions to which they refer ; the same process will
enable the reader to recognise, at sight, the 10,000 species figured in the 700 pages. Tn this
way, botanical figures supply the place of a botanical garden ; and the beginner learns the
natures, the technology, and the general appearances of plants, almost as easily -and na-
turally in the one case as he does in the other.
To determine the name of an unknown plant, it is necessary to be furnished with a
specimen of it in flower. The parts of the plant including those of the flower being
already known by the process above mentioned, its class will be ascertained by the Table of
the Linnean System (p. 2.), and its order, genus, species, &c, by turning to the page
referred to at the end of the class. Thus, if you hold in your hand a specimen of
Phillyrea angustifolia in flower, on counting the stamens and pistils you find it belongs to
Class II. Order 1., from which, in the Table in p. 2., you are referred to the details of
the class in p. 8.; you there find, under Order 1., the characters of all the genera of that
order, and that the flower which you hold in your hand best agrees with the definition
given of the genus Phillyrea, No. 33. But you wish to know the species ; and, Phillyrea
being No. 33., you turn to that number in the details of the genera in the subsequent pages.
After comparing its leaves with the specific character given of the different species, you
find it best agrees with P. angustifolia ; and, finding this species numbered 143., you look for
that number in the two plates of engravings in the lower parts of the pages, and find a figure
which confirms your decision. By reading the abridgements in the line which follows the
word angustifolia, together with the note to the generic name Phillyrea at the bottom of the
page, you find in an abridged form its English name, habit, habitation in the garden, popular
character, the height to which it grows, its time of flowering, the colour of its flower, its
native country, the year of its introduction into Britain, its propagation, the soil in which it
grows, a reference to a work where it is figured and described at greater length, and its uses
in the arts, or whatever else is remarkable in its history. You find, also, the natural order to
which the genus belongs, the etymology of the name, the French or German name, if the
plant has a vernacular name in these languages, and, both generic and specific names being
accentuated, you have the pronunciation. On turning to the Table of Synonymous
Names (p. 1108.), you will find its vernacular name in the languages of the countries
where it is common. If it is not so common in any country as to have received a
•.•ernacular name, it will not be found in that list. Finally, if you should not understand
any of the terms used in the definition of the specific characters or in the notes, on turning
to the Glossary (p. 1094.) you will find them explained, and illustrated where necessary
by engravings. yPflfffiTT U-^1

zxii GENERAL INTRODUCTION.
When the beginner has a leaf or any part of a plant not in flower, he may ascertain, by
turning to the Introduction to the Natural System (p. 1051.). to which of the three grand
divisions of the vegetable kingdom it belongs, and may learn other particulars, according to
circumstances which it is unnecessary to detail. Without the flower, he will not be able by
the Natural System to determine the name of a plant ; but, what is often much more
important, with a very small portion of any part of a plant he will be able to discover some
thing of its nature, an advantage which does not belong to the System of Linnaeus.
The classification or arrangement of plants is made by botanists with a view to two
objects : the first, to facilitate the discovery of their names, and thus to know them
individually ; the second, to give general ideas respecting their natures, and thus to know
them as belonging to large masses or groups. Hitherto, no system has been discovered
which has attained both these objects in an equal degree of perfection ; but the Linnean
Arrangement has made the greatest advances in teaching how to discover the names of
plants, and the Jussieuean in teaching us their natures, and how to recognise them as belong-
ing to certain masses or groups. In order that the student may acquire both these kinds of
knowledge, we have given both arrangements. We have begun with the Linnean, not only
as being best adapted for beginners, but because it is necessary to know how to discover the
name of a plant, as well as to be able practically to recognise a number of plants, before
attempting to know their natures, or to combine them in masses or groups.
" The standing objection to botany," says White of Selbourne, " has always been, that
it is a pursuit that amuses the fancy and exercises the memory without improving the mind
or advancing any real knowledge ; and where the science is carried no farther than a mere
systematic classification, the charge is but too true. But the botanist, who is desirous of
wiping off this aspersion, should be by no means content with a list of names ; he should
study plants philosophically, — should investigate the laws of vegetation, — should examine
the powers and virtues of efficacious herbs, — should promote their cultivation, and graft the
gardener, the planter, and the husbandman, on the phytologist : not that system is by any
means to be thrown aside ; without system the field of nature would be a pathless wilder-
ness ; but system should be subservient to, not the main object of, our pursuit."
" After all that has been effected, or is likely to be accomplished hereafter," Professor Lindley
observes, "there will always be more difficulty in acquiring a knowledge of the Natural
System of Botany than of the Linnean. The latter skims only the surface of things, and
leaves the student in the fancied possession of a sort of information wliich it is easy enough
to obtain, but which is of little value when acquired ; the former requires a minute inves-
tigation of every part and every property known to exist in plants, but when understood has
conveyed to the mind a store of information, of the utmost use to man, in every station of
life. Whatever the difficulties may be of becoming acquainted with plants according to this
method, they are inseparable from botany, which cannot be usefully studied without encoun-
tering them." *
The History of Plants comprehends every thing relating to their use in the arts, or in any way
as connected with man, with animals, or with civilisation. The Geography of Plants relates
to the countries in which they are indigenous or acclimated, and to the soils and situations in
which they grow or may be grown. Every thing essential in relation to these points will,
as we have already stated, be found after the name of each species in the text, after the
name of the genus in the notes below, under the natural order to which the genus belongs
in the Natural Arrangement (Part II. p. 1051.), in the Table of Synonymes (p. 1108.),
or in the Glossary (p. 1094.).
The General Index (p. 1143.) contains not only the names of the genera, and of the
classes and orders ol boch systems, but those of all the remarkable species, and the more
important systematic and British synonymes both of genera and species. The various
names being included in the same alphabet, this Index may therefore be consulted as a
Dictionary of Plants.

THE
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PLANTS
PART 1.
LINNEAN ARRANGEMENT.
X HE main object of the artificial system of botanical arrangement is to facilitate the discovery of the namet
of plants. For this purpose some one organ, common to plants in general, is fixed on ; and, according to
certain conditions in which this organ is found, individual species are referred to their places in the system,
as words, by their initial letters, are referred to their places in an alphabetical dictionary.
In the progress of artificial systems different organs have been fixed on by different botanists ; but those
which have been most extensively employed are the corollas by Toumefort, and the stamens and pistils, by
Linnsus. The system of Toumefort has been a good deal employed in France, and may be considered as the
artificial system of that country ; that of Linnaeus has been employed in most other countries, and is justly
esteemed by far the most perfect artificial system which has hitherto been produced. It is, therefore, adopted
in this work.
The application of the Linnean system in practice, Sir J. E. Smith observes, is, above all other systems, easy
and intelligible. Even in pursuing the study of the natural affinities of plants, this botanist affirms " that
it would be as idle to lay aside the continual use of the Linnean system, as it would be for philologists and
logicians to slight the convenience, and indeed necessity, of the alphabet, and to substitute the Chinese
character in its stead." (Introduct. to Bot.) " The student of the Linnean artificial system," he elsewhere
observes, " will soon perceive that it is to be understood merely as a dictionary, to make out any plant that
may fall in his way." {Gram, of Bot.) " If we examine," says Decandolle, " the artificial systems which have
been hitherto devised, we shall find the most celebrated of them, that which was proposed by Linna?us, to
possess a decided superiority over all others, not only because it is consistently derived from one simple prin-
ciple, but also because the author of it, by means of a new nomenclature, has given to his terms the greatest
distinctness of meaning." (Elements of the Philos. of Plants, by Decandolle and Sprengel.) Whether or
not subsequent advances in science may enable botanists to dispense with the Linnean system altogether, it
is not for us to affirm ; but in the meantime nothing can be more certain than that the Linnean system is the
best leading arrangement for such a work as the present, in the existing state of botanical knowledge in
Britain. *
According to the Linnean system all plants are furnished with flowers, either conspicuous or inconspicuous.
The plants with conspicuous flowers are arranged according to the number and position of their stamens and
pistils ; those with inconspicuous flowers are arranged according to the situation of the flowers on the plant,
or according to other circumstances in the plant itself.
To discover the name of a plant by the Linnean system, therefore, all that is
necessary for a beginner is to possess a specimen of it in flower, and to be able
to know its different parts by the names given them by botanists. To discover the
1 class, order, and genus of a plant, it is only necessary to be able to distinguish and
name the different parts of the flower. These parts are: the calyx or cup {Jig l.fl),
which is that leaf, or those leaves, by which the flower is usually enclosed when in 0-]
bud, and which, when the flower is expanded, appear under it. The corolla
{corona, a crown) is the coloured leaf, or leaves, of a flower {Jig. 1. b). The stamen
(or first principle of any thing) is the thread-like process, or processes, imme-
diately within the leaves of the corolla {fig. 2.) : it consists of two parts, the filament
or thread (a), and the anther (4) ; this anther contains what is called the pollen, or fructi-
fying meal (c). In the centre of the flower is the pistil {fig. 3.) : it consists of
three parts, the germen, or rudiments of the fruit or seed (a), the style (6),
and the stigma or summit(c), which crowns the style, and is destined to receive
the fructifying pollen.
The pistil and stamen are the essential parts of a flower. The corolla or the calyx may be
wanting, and yet the flower will be termed perfect, because the absence of those parts is no
obstacle to reproduction. Even the style and the filament may be absent without preventing the
formation or ripening of the fruit ; and there are many flowers which have the anther sitting close
to the corolla, &c, without a filament, and the stigma to the germen without a style; but the
anther, the germen, and the stigma are essential.
The seed is contained in the pericarp, or seed-vessel, which is the germen when grown to maturity. The
name of seed-vessel varies according to its form, substance, &c. ; but the word pericarp {peri, about, karpon,
a fruit) is applicable to all its Tarieties. The receptacle is the base or medium which connects the other parts
of the fructification. {Magazine of Natural History, vol. i. p. 233.)
The degree of knowledge conveyed by the following Table, and the preceding observations, will enable a
beginner to discover the class, order, and genus of any plant which he may find in flower.

MONANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 1
To discover the particular species or variety of a plant it is necessary to become acquainted with the forms
and different conditions of the leaves, stems, and other parts of the bodies of plants, as well as with their flowers,
ami this knowledge, aa we have before stated (p. xix.), will be obtained with the greatest facility by turning to
the Glossary vp.1094.), and comparing the definitions with the engraved figures.
Class I.—MONANDIIIA. I Stamen.
This class, which is not large, contains chiefly exotic plants, and of these the tribe of Scitaminea? is considered
one of the most beautiful families of the vegetable kingdom. The useful productions are chiefly the Ginger,
Cardamom, and Turmerick, spices highly esteemed, and in general use wherever they are known, and can be
procured. The Salicornia, a native of our sea-shores, is burned for kelp, and pickled for culinary purposes.
Almost all the plants of this class are aquatics, or grow in marshes. They chiefly thrive best in a sandy loam,
from which their roots should be well cleaned every year.
The genera of the Scltamineae and Cannea: have been remodelled by Roscoe, whose arrangement has re-
ceived considerable improvement from the hand of the late Dr. Roxburgh. The nature of the floral envelope
of those plants has long been a subject of dispute among botanists, some considering the colored inner segments
to be true petals and to be variable in numbers ; and others, supposing them to be part of the calyx and con-
stant in number, their occasional variation in number being capable of explanation. Persoon (Synopsis, p. 1.)
is of opinion that many of the genera of the first section ought to be referred to Gynandna. According to
Willdenow and others, the following species belonging to other classes have only one stamen.
Moaaapua. Mangifera indica ; Alchemilla aphanes, several species of Scirpus, Cyperus, Schcenus, Kyllinga,
Cryptosiomum monandrum, Chorizandra, Folycnemum monandrum, Hopea.

The first three species are found wild within the tropics on all the continents, and chiefly in moist woods or
jpongy woody wastes : in America and the Brazils, they are known by the name of wild plantain, andtheir
leaves are used as envelopes for many objects of commerce ; from which circumstance, the French name of the
nlant (balisier) is said to have arisen ; balija being Spanish for an envelope. Clusius says he saw the C lutea
flowering by house-sides in Spam and Portugal, and that the inhabitants there use the seed for makim? their
rosaries : in the East Indies the seeds are sometimes used as shot. The roots of C. edulis are eaten dressed in

washed, pounded, and blanched, it makes a tine powder and starch, and may be used as food, rescmblinc. in
many respects the salcp. A light loamy soil suits all the species, which, though tender, are readily propa-
gated by dividing the root.
3. Calathea. So named by Meyer, probably from the cup-like stigma of the genus. It is much admired on
account of its singularly striped foliage, to which the specific name alludes, and its ovate spike of purple flow
ers, about the size of a large pine-cone.
4 Thalia. In memory of John Thalius, a German physician, at Nordhuys, author of Plants Hercynae, 1588.
An aquatic, and if planted two or three feet under water, will survive our winters, in the open air. It Sowers
beautifully.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
7. Roscoea. Named by Sir J. E. Smith, in honour of W. Roscoe, Esq., the accomplished historian of the
Medicis, and the first botanist who elucidated the plants of the order Scitamineae. The species are little
known, but are both beautiful and curious.
8. Alpinia. After Prosper Alpini, an Italian physician and botanist, who practised at Cairo between 1580
and 1584, and died in 1615. Canne de Riviere, Fr. A splendid genus, requiring rich soil, a moist heat,
and plenty of room. A. racemosa answers best when treated as an aquatic.
9. Hellenia. In honour of C. N. Hellenius, Professor at Abo, who, in 1798, published several academical dis-
sertations. The same culture answers this plant as recommended for Hedychium.
10. Zingiber. From the original Indian appellation. Zingembre, Fr. Gin/er, Ger. ; and Zinzer, Ital. Many
of the specific names employed in the genus are derived from the vernacular names of the species. The roots
of Z. officinale, and zerumbet, much used in the kitchen and in medicine, form a considerable export from our
West India Islands. As a medicine, ginger is particularly useful in flatulent colic, debility, and laxity of the
system, and in torpid and phlegmatic constitutions, to excite a brisker action of the vessels. The roots of gin-
ger are taken up when the stalks fade, and, being first washed and scalded, are afterwards dried in the sun
This forms black ginger; the white sort is never scalded, but only washed and dried. When the root is to be

preserved in syrup, it is taken up and scalded before fully grown. After steeping and washing in water, it is
put in jars, and covered with a thin syrup. (Browne's Jamaica.) Z. zerumbet is used in the East in cataplasms
and fomentations, but not as internal medicine.
11. Costus. From its name in Arabic, gosth. Jacquin has shewn that the costus of the moderns is not the
same as the plant so called by the ancients. Costwurtz, Ger., and costo, Ital. All the species grow in woods in
their native countries, and their roots partake somewhat of the qualities of ginger.
12. Ktempferia. In honor of Engelbert Ksempfer, the Japanese traveller ; born in Lemgow in Westphalia in
1651 ; died in 1716. Zedoaire, Fr. and Grosse Galgant, Ger. This is a curious genus of low stemless plants,
with tuberous roots, a pleasant aromatic smell, and sharpish taste. The root is purple without and white
within, and is esteemed a stomachic and cephalic. When the plants are not in a growing state, they require
little or no water ; otherwise like bulbs which are kept always moist, they will not flower freely.
13. Amumum. From «, privative, and ftaiftes, impurity, it has always been esteemed a powerful counter
poison ; or perhaps a corruption of phamdma, the Arabic appellation of the plant. L'amome des pedes, Fr.
fngwer and Gengiovo, Ital. Most of the species formerly included under this genus are placed by Roscoe unde>
Zingiber.

possessed of little beauty.
20. Centranthus. From xtvrqov, a spur, and avS-a,-, a flower, in allusion to the calcarate corolla.
21. Pollichia. In honor of Jean Ad. Pollich, a German botanist, who published in 1776, a history of the plants
of the Palatinate. The only species is an obscure herbaceous plant
22. Salicornia. From sal, salt, and cornu, a hom ; saltwort, marsh samphire, he Christemarine, Fr. Glass
schmaltz, Ger., and Erba-cali, Ital. S. herbacea is gathered when in flower, and pickled in salt and vinegar
like samphire, for culinarv purposes. The whole plant has a saltish taste, and is greedily devoured by cattle.
All the species, excepting "the S. arabica, abound on the shores of the Mediterranean, and are there burnt for
soda, which is much used in the manufactures of soap and glass, especially at Marseilles.
•23. Hippuris. From icTe?, a horse, and i^cc, a tail. La Pcsse d'eau, or pin aquatic. Ft. Sctutftholm, Ger.,
and Hippuride, Ital. The flower of this plant is one of the simplest among perfect plants ; it has only one stamen
and one pistil, unprotected by either calyx or corolla, and it produces only one seed. The situation of the leaves
in whorls is not usual in European plants, excepting in the stellata? of Linnaeus. The floweis in the beginning
of summer are mostly hermaphrodite, but in autumn many of them are female. By absorbing a great quantity ot
inflammable air, this plant is reputed to assist in purifying the putrid air of marshes It is eaten by wild duck v

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
£4. Zostcra. From iu/rrri^, a riband ; the leaves of Z. oceanica are a foot long and an inch broad, resembling
a riband. La Zostere, Fr., and Sectang, Ger. This plant abounds on the coast of Yarmouth, where it is
thrown on shore in such abundance that mounds are made with it to enclose the encroachments of the sea.
It is also used as thatch, and said to endure for upwards of a century; by exposure it bleaches white. In
Sweden and Holland it is used as a manure, and is preferred to hay for stuffing beds. Horses and swine eat it,
but cows are not fond of it. The rush-like envelopes of Italian liquor-flasks are prepared from this plant.
25. Chloranthus. So named from x>Me,°s, green, and uvBos, a flower, on account of the greenish hue of its
inconspicuous inflorescence. The structure of the flower is very curious, and so anomalous, as to render it diffi-
cult to tell to what class of Linnaeus it is referable. For further remarks upon this subject, see Mr. Lindley's
Collectanea Botanica, p. 17.
26. Corispermwn. From xtfif, a bug or tick, and inri^a, a seed. Le Corrisperme, Fr., and Dei IVansen-
Class II. — DIANDRIA. fc Stamens.
This class, which is not large, and so entirely artificial that no other characters than those of the Linna?an
definition can be assigned to it, contains some elegant and fragrant plants belonging to Jasmines, Scrophula-
rineae, and Labiata; : examples of the two latter orders are Veronica and Salvia, extensive genera chiefly of
hardy herbaceous plants. The most useful of the class are the pepper and the olive : the jasmine is used in per-
fumery ; the sage and rosemary in cookery ; and the privet and syringa for garden hedges. One or two species
are employed in medicine; several are border flowers; but the greater number of the class are plants of
curiosity.
Codarium is a leguminous plant, and is widely removed from its natural place, which is Diadelphia ; so re
Salvia, Monarda, Rosmarinus, Veronica, and many others, which would have been naturally referred to Diuy
namia.
Under this class Persoon has placed the genus Gunnera, which Willdenow injudiciously referred to Gynan-
oria. A great variety of diandrous plants are scattered through the other classes of Linnaeus ; but as such
plants are chiefly, with the exception, perhaps, of grasses, diandrous, on account of the incomplete formation of
some of their stamens, the rudiments of which are usually obvious, it is scarcely necessary to particularise more
than the following, viz. : —

same, Ger. The species abound in the south of Russia in marshy steppes with Salsola and Atriplex. Round the
Caspian sea they grow six feet high, are red in winter, and eaten by camels.
27. Callitriche. From xxXkoc or xako;, and 3-^J, hair. Le Callitrice, Fr. Der Wasserstirn, Ger., and Calli-
trica, Ital. A little aquatic plant, liable to variation in its appearance; on which account some botanists have
divided it into several species.
28. Blitum. From /Sa/tcv, insipid, or, according to Dr. Theis, from the Celtic blitk, which has the same in-
port Le Blete, Fr. Die Beermelde, Ger., and JSlito, Ital. After the flowers are past, the heads swell to the
size of wood-strawberries, and when ripe have the same color and appearance. They are succulent, stain the

History, Lse, Propagation, Culture,
30. Codarium. So named by Dr. Afzelius, from xuZx^iov, a leathern pouch, in allusion to the pods of the tree.
These are filled with an abundant pithy faecula, which is eaten by the inhabitants of the coast of Guinea, where
the fruit is called wild tamarinds.
31. Maytenus. The barbarous name of the shrub, and applied as a generic name by Molina. It has the habit
of a Rhamnus, and will probably form an hardy inhabitant of our gardens.
32. Olec. From tXoua, the Greek name for the plant ; a word derived in its turn, as De Thpis conjectures, from
the Celtic olew, oil. Olea is commonly put for the tree ; oliva, for the fruit ; and oleum, for the juice of the fruit
L'olivier, Fr. Oelbaum, Ger., and U/ivo, ItaL The cultivated olive came originally from Asia, and grows
abundantly about Aleppo and I/ebanon ; it is naturalised in different parts of the south of France, Spain, and
Italy, and found in hedges and woods ; but the fruit of that kind is small and of no use. O. e. var. longifolia, is
the variety chiefly cultivated in the south of France and in Italy. O. e. var. latifolia, is chiefly cultivated in
Spain ; its fruit is near twice the size of the common olive of Provence or Italy, but the oil is so rank of flavor
as to be too strong for most English palates. The oil and fruit, in a pickled state, are sent chiefly from Lan.
guedoc, Leghorn, and Naples to England ; the best oil is from Leghorn, and the best pickles from Genoa and
Marseilles. The tree seldom exceeds thirty feet in height, is branchy, glaucous, evergreen ; and of so great
longevity, that some plantations in Italy, as at Terni, are supposed to have existed from the time of Pliny. The
tree delights in schistous, calcareous steeps, and does not thrive in elevated situations, or at a distance from the
sea. The best oil is produced from fruit grown in calcareous soils. Olive oil may be said to form the cream
and butter of Spain and Italy ; and the tree has been celebrated in all ages as the bounteous gift of heaven, and
as the emblem of peace and plenty.
Olive oil is made by crushing the fruit to a paste, then pressing it through a woollen bag, adding hot water as
long as any oil is produced. The oil is afterwards skimmed off the water, and put in tubs, barrels, and bottles
for use. The best olive oil is of a bright pale-amber color without smell, and bland to the taste. Kept warm,
it becomes rancid, and it freezes at 38p Fan. It is of the same nature with all mild expressed vegetable oils ; of
these the most fluid are preferred, and hence the oils of olives and almonds are those chiefly used in medicine,
Oily substances do not unite with the contents of acid stomachs : but to healthy patients they afford roucb

nourishment, and medicinally are supposed to correct acrimony, to lubricate, and relax. Olive oil is applied ex-
ternally to bites and stings of poisonous animals, and to burns alone, with chalk, or in liniments and poultices.
The ancients rubbed their bodies with it in dropsies and for various purposes ; but it is now little used excepting
for coughs and in worm cases.
Pickled olives are prepared from unripe fruit by repeatedly steeping them in water, to which quicklime or any
alkaline substance is sometimes added to shorten the operation. Afterwards they are soaked in pure water,
and then taken out and bottled in salt and water, with or without an aromatic. They are eaten abroad as a
whet before and during the principal meals, and in this country chiefly at the dessert. They are supposed to
excite appetite and promote digestion. The finest kind of the prepared fruit is called by the merchants Pichulinc,
after one Picholini, an Italian, who first discovered the art of pickling olives.
The culture of the alive abroad may be said to resemble that of grass orchards in Britain. It is propagated
by suckers, large cuttings, or truncheons planted in trenches four feet deep, into which it is still the custom to
deposit stones for encouraging moisture about the roots, as described by Virgil. iGeorg. ii. .346.) It is also pro-
pagated by chips of the stool, in the following manner : An old tree is cut down, and the ceppo, or stock, is cut
into pieces of nearly the size and shape of a mushroom, and which, from that circumstance, are called uovoli
Care is taken that each uovolo shall have a small portion of bark. After being dipped in manure, the uovoli
are planted thick in a bed and covered with earth to the depth of three inches ; they soon throw up shoots, and
are, transplanted at the end of one year, and in three more are fit to be finally removed to the olive plantation
The olive in Britain grows readily by cuttings, or may be grafted on the privet. With protection during frost,
it may be maintained against a wail in the latitude of London Some trees so treated, produced a crop in the
garden of Camden House, Kensington, in 171!' ; and in Devonshire, some trees have stood the winter for many
years as standards, though without ripening their fruit. Large plants are frequently imported iroin Genoa,
along with orange and pomegranate trees.
O. fragrans is highly odoriferous both in the leaves and blossoms ; the plant is much esteemed on that ac
count in China, and the 'eaves used at once to adulterate and flavor teas

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
33. Phi/lyrea. Said to derive its name from tpuXXov, a leaf, an etymology far from satisfactory. The genus
consists of ornamental evergreen shrubs, the supposed varieties of which have been considered distinct specie?
by most modern botanists. Some authors have united the genus with Olea j but they have not been followed
generally.
34. Chionanthus. From ^;«v, snow, and ayOo;, a flower. Le Chionanthe, Fr. Der Schneeblume, Ger., and
Albero de neve, Ital. Both species are highly ornamental shrubs or low trees ; their leaves are above half a foot
:n length, and \\ inch in breadth ; their flowers white, in numerous long bunches, and their fruit of the size
and_ color of a sloe. They are propagated by seeds or grafting on the common ash.
35. Noteltea. From von; , south, and eA«;«, olive : the olive of the south. A small ornamental genus of nearly
hardy shrubs, which would probably endure the climate of this country in a favorable situation.
36. Ligustrum. From ligare, to tie, on account of its long pliable branches. La Frcsi/lon, Fr. Der Liguster,
Ger., and Legustro, Ital. The privet in old authors is called primprivet, as Professor Martyn conjectures, from
its patience under the sheers. Few shrubs exceed it as a garden hedge-plant : it will thrive in the middle of
Loal-burning cities, in the shade, and under the drip of trees; though to flower well it requires an open airy
situation. Cows, sheep, and goats eat it, but horses refuse it
The Sphinx ligustri, L., or privet hawkmoth, and Phalajna syringaria feed on it in the caterpillar
state : the blister beetle, Lytta vesicatoria, from which cantharides is formed, is also found on it. Fully grown,
the wood is fit for the turner, and a rose-colored pigment may be prepared from the berries, which, with alum,
lye wool and silk of a durable green. The berries remain on the tree during winter in elegant purple clusters,
and are not eaten by birds excepting in very severe weather, when bullfinches and some others feed on them.
Like most plants that have been king in cultivation, the privet varies in its leaves, flowers, and fruit, and in the
luration of the former. In its cultivated state it is always evergreen ; found wild in woods and hedges, is ge-

nerally deciduous. Sometimes the leaves grow by threes, are enlarged at the base and variegated. The regular
number of stamens is two j but sometimes there are three or four in a flower. The berries are usually purple
or black, but some have been seen of a white color ; and a yellow fruited variety is common in the gardens.
A kind of vegetable wax is said to be obtained from L. lucidum in China.
31. Syringa. Some say from 2u|jȣ, an Arcadian nymph, or, more properly, here, a pipe. The tubes of the
finest Turkish pipes are manufactured from the wood of it ; but the true root of the word is to be found in
sirinx, its native name in Barbary. Lilac is a Persian word signifying a flower. Le Lilas, Fr. Die Syrene,
Ger., and Syringa, Ital. All the species are most beautiful flowering shrubs, readily propagated by suckers,
which they throw up in abundance. The common lilac seems to have been introduced before or during the
reign of Henry Vlll. ; for in the inventory taken by order of Cromwell of the articles in the gardens of the
palace of Nonsuch, are mentioned six lilackes ; trees which bear no fruit, but only a pleasant smell. S. persica
is well adapted for forcing in pots ; but so treated its flowers are without fragrance.
- tfyctanthe*. from m|, night, and avUos, flow'er, night-flower, its flowers expanding and smelling only in
the night. L. Arbor Iriste, Fr. Der Trauerige baum, Ger. It grows freely in loam and peat soil mixed, but sel-
dom produces its exquisitely fragrant flowers in England. Sweet thinks it is generally kept too warm, and
recommends a trial in the greenhouse or open air ; but its appearance would probably be little improved by
any manner of treatment, as it has but an indifferent aspect in its own country. Cuttings not too ripe, root
readily in sand under a hand-glass.
19, Jasminuiii. From the Arabian jasmin (ysmyn). Linnseus obtained a fancied etymology from /«, a violi ',
and rjiru.r.. smell. Le Jasmine, Fr. Tier Scfiasmine, Ger., and // Oelsmnino, Ital. The flowers of J. sambat
arc of exquisite fragrance, and in high esteem both in the East and West Indies. It grew in the Hamilton
Court Harden at the end ni' the 17th century ; but being lost there, was known in Europe only in the garden <>t

the Grand Duke of Tuscany at Pisa, where Evelyn informs us (Memoirs, &c. by Bray), the plant was placed
under gimrd that no cuttings might be purloined. A plant sent to Miller in 1730 restored it to England, and
it is now a common greenhouse shrub. Plants of J. humile, also very odoriferous, are commonly imported from
Genoa along with orange-trees. J. officinale has been a favorite wall-shrub from time immemorial. Its native
country, as well as the date of its introduction are unknown. Gerarde, in 1597, says it was in common use for.

Khrenfreiso, Ger. V. officinalis has been much recommended in Sweden and Germany as a substitute for tea,

the same puipose. Several species were formerly in repute in medicine, and given in disorders of the iungs.

but they are now laid aside by regular practitioners. V. Beccabunga (latinised from bachbunge, its German
appellation : bach is a brook ; beck, provincial English), is sometimes gathered with watercresses, with which
it is often found in limpid streams, and used as a spring salad. Almost all the species thrive in any soil or
situation ; the tallest are ornamental border flowers ; the dwarf spreading sorts are well adapted for rock-work,
edgings, or to be grown in pots. A few delight in peat soil, and some in moist situations ; all are increased
by seed, subdividing at the root, or cuttings. V. decussata will endure the open air if protected from frost.
41. Galipea. A name framed by Aublet from the vernacular appellation of the plant in French Guiana,
where it is a native.
42. Schwenckia. John Theodore Schwenck was a professor of medicine at Jena ; died in 1671. Thorc
was another Schwenck a professor of botany to the garden at Leyden. The genus is, like the merits

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
45. Elylraria. From iXwr^cv, an envelope, its stem being covered with sheaths or scaly envelopes Little her
baceous plants of no ornament.
46. Hypoestes ; CiroiirS-r,;, is an interior garment : it is probable that the involucrum suggested the application
of the name. The plants have the habit of Justicia, from which they have been separated, and are chiefly tro-
pical weeds.
47. Justicia. In honor of James Justice, F.R.S., an eminent Scotch cultivator, author of the Scotch Gar
dener's Director, published in 1784. J. pectoralis has the smell of new hay, combined with a refreshing
aroma. In Domingo and Martinico the inhabitants make a syrup of it, which they use against disorders
of the breast. The bruised leaves are good in wounds, whence the English appellation balsam, and the
French name herbe a charpentiere. J. nasuta is said to possess extraordinary aphrodisiacal powers, and
milk boiled in the roots is much employed on that account by Indian physicians. Rubbed with 'lime-
juice, the roots are used to cure ring-worms. Most of the species are free' flowerers, some as J. lucida

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
C. corymbosa and paralia, are exceedingly beautiful herbaceous plants of difficult increase. The shrubbv and
branching herbaceous kinds are easily propagated by cuttings.
52. Pingaicula. lr,rom pinSuis> fat> on account of the greasiness of its leaves. In P. vulgaris, the structure of
the stigma, and its close application to the stamens is very remarkable. Linna-us says, that the warm milk of
the rein-deer poured on the tresh leaves, and set aside for a day or two, becomes acescent : acquires consistence
and tenacity, and neither the whey nor the cream separate. In this state it is considered a very grateful food
in Sweden and Norway. On cows' milk it acts like common rennet. The plant eaten by sheep' has been sup-
posed to produce the liver-rot ; but a flat apterous insect, the fasciola hepatica or fluke, found adhering to
stones and plants in boggy grounds, as well as in the liver and biliary ducts of sheep affected by the rot, is a more
hKely cause, and the more especially as no animal whatever will feed on the plant The secies fexcent
P. grandiflora) are cultivated with difficulty in artificial shaded morass. P. grandiflora will thrive well on a
dry northern bed of bog-mould among North American shrubs.
53. Utricu/aria. From utricula, a little bottle, from the small inflated appendages to the root The specie-;
are scarcely susceptible of cultivation : they are very numerous in hot countries, and there form the most ele-
gant ornaments of rivulets and pools of water. The flowers are fugacious, and so delicate as not to be capable
ot preservation as dried specimens, in which state their naturally beautiful colors of purple, pink, violet or
yellow, all change to a dead and uniform black.

and Miscellaneous Particulars
54. Stack ytarpheta, ravv;, a spike, and to^qlik, dense. The name would be better changed, as it has been by
Link, to Stachytarpha. This genus is partly composed of Verbena, L. S. mutabilis is a beautiful species, anil
nearly always in flower. All of them strike readily in heat under glass.
55. Lycopus. From >mxd;, a wolf, and ar«? , a foot, on account of a fancied resemblance between the cut leaves
and a wolf's foot. Le Marrulie aquatique, Fr. Der IVolfsfuss, Ger., and Licopo, Ital. L. europaus is com-
mon in most parts of Europe in meadows, but is not eaten by cattle. It dyes black, and gives a permanent color
to linen, wool, and silk. Witherii.g says, gypsies stain their skin with it. According to Adamson, it has two
barren filaments ; and Pollich remarks, that there are sometimes 82 flowers in a whorl.
56. Ametht/sUa. From a/xi-lvm, the amethyst, alluding to the color of the flower. A pretty annual, not very
common in gardens.
57. Ziziphora. Etymology uncertain. This genus, and the two following, consist of little herbaceous plants
resembling thyme : they are generally pretty, and easily cultivated. It would, perhaps, have been better tc
unite, with some writers, Ziziphora, Cunila, and Hedeoma, in one genus.
58. Cunila. A Roman name applied by Linnams to this genus. The plants of Pliny bore some resemblance te
iliusc which compose the Linna?an Cunila. (See No. 57.) The leaves of C. mariana are used in decoction for colds.
59. Hedeoma, rilvotuM, a Greek name for mint. (See No. 57.)
oO. Monarda. In honor of Nicolas Monardez, a physician of Seville in the 16th century. Most of the species

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
are aromatic, and resemble mint in their habits and mode of culture. The leaves of M. didvma arc sometime*
used as tea in North America ; its flowers are of a very brilliant scarlet.
61. Rosmarinus. Two Latin words signifying dew of the sea. The shrub grows in the southern parts of
Europe in the vicinity of the sea. It. officinalis yields, by distillation, a light-pale essential oil of great fra-
grance, which is imparted to rectified spirit. It was formerly recommended for strengthening the nervous sys-
tem, headaches, &c. as well as to strengthen the memory. Hence the allusion of the poet, " there's rosemary,
that's for remembrance." Rue in former times signified grace; and rosemary, repentance. Rosemarv was
considered as an emblem of fidelity in lovers ; it was worn at weddings and funerals, and on the latter "occa-
sions is still in some parts of Wales distributed among the company, who throw the sprigs in the grave along
with the corpse. It is the principal ingredient in Hungary water, and is drunk as tea for headaches, and by
nervous persons. It prefers a lean dry soil, or rubbish of old buildings ; and when it has established itself on a
wall, will resist the greatest cold of our winters. Its introduction is beyond record, and was probably by the
monks in the dark ages.

genus consists of herts or under-shrubs, the leaves of which have generally a rugose appearance, the smell aro.
matic, and the flowers commonly in spikes, two or three together from a bracte or leaf. They are all of easy
culture, and some of them are ornamental as greenhouse plants or border flowers. The Florminum, Salvia, and
Sclarea of Tournefort are included in this genus. The Sclarea or clary is derived from a-y.Xr^o:, stiff, and Hormi-
nuin from i%u.aa, quod ad venerem stimulat. Of S. officinalis there are many varieties, differing in the size,
form, and color of the leaves. It was formerly in great repute in medicine as a sudorific, aromatic, astringent,
and antiseptic. The Chinese use it as a tonic for debility of the stomach, and strengthening the nervous sys-
tem, and prefer it for these purposes to their own tea. It is, however, discarded from our pharmacopeias, but
still used by self-practitioners and herb doctors. In cookery it is used for sauces and stuffings for luscious meats
S. grandiflora is preferred for making tea. S. pomifera produces protuberances as big as oak g.dls, occasioned
like them, by the puncture of an insect. In the isle of Crete, S. officinalis lias the same sort of excrescences, and
they carry them to market there under the name of sage-apples. S. verbenaca is a native of all the four con-
tinents, and very aromatic. A mucilage is produced from its seeds, which, put under the eyelids for a few
moments, envelopes any sand or dust there, and brings it out ; and hence the name of officinalis christi, clear

respondent of Liimams : he died in 176S. Horse-weed, Amer. The species are American plants of easy
cultivation.
64. Catalpa. The Indian name. Die Trompetenblume, Ger. C. syringifolia, H.K. is the Bignonia catalpa,/.. ;
a low-spreading, rather singular looking tree, with succulent shoots easily injured by winds or severe frosts. It
requires a sheltered situation and plenty of room. The leaves are large and come out late ; the flowers are
white, shewy, and are succeeded by long pods, but they seldom appear in this climate. One of the oldest catalpas
in England is in Gray's Inn gardens, said to have been planted there by Lord Bacon. C. longissima is an ele-
gant upright tree, known in the West Indies by the name of French oak, and the French call it chene-noir.
65. Ghinia. In honor of an Italian botanist, named Ghini, who founded several botanic gardens.
66. Fontanesia. So named by Billardiere, in honor of M. Desfontaines, the excellent professor of botany at
the Jardin du roi at Paris. It is rather a tender shrub, requiring shelter in severe weather. It grows in com-
mon garden soil, and is increased by layers or by cuttings in sand under a hand-glass.
67. Linociera. Named after Geoffroi Linocier, a French physician. A tropical genus of shrubby plants, pro-
pagated by cuttings, and of little beauty in a cultivated state.
68. Ancistrum. From aixirtm, a hook. Its calyx is terminated by little hooks. These are small herbaceous
plants with pretty foliage, but ho beauty in their flowers. They are only cultivated as objects of curiosity, and
are seldom seen.
69. Omits. In Greek, o^uvk, from oeos, a mountain. The tree grows on mountains. La Frene afleurs, r'r.
Die Bliihentle Esche, Ger. ; and Frassmo florido, Ital. O. europa?a, P.S. is the Fraxinus ornus, L. O. rotun-
difolia, or the manna ash, abounds in the skirts of the mountains in Calabria. From the middle of June to the
end of Julv the manna gatherers make an incision across the bole of the tree, which they deepen the second
day, inserting a maple leaf, so as to form a sort of cup to receive the gum as it distils from the incision. Some
times bits of reed or twigs are applied, on which the manna oozes out, and drying with the sun, forms tubular

pieces called manna in Cannali, which being reckoned more pure, sells higher by one-third than the manna m
Tazzeti. Manna is a concrete mucilaginous juice, mild, and slightly nauseous. It seems to have no relation to
that which nourished the Hebrews in the desert, being, as Rozier observes (Diet. d'Agr.l, much more likely to
have purged than nourished them. The Fraxinus virgata, P.S. also affords manna, but from no other species
ot ornus can it be procured. The Ornus floribunda has lately been discovered in Nepal, where it is called
kanga and tahasee.
70. Marina. In memory of Lewis Morin, a French botanist, and son of Peter Morin, a florist celebrated in
the 17th century. This plant is of very rare occurrence. It is not unlike the common acanthus, but more
beautiful. Propagated by seeds.
71. Cir&ra. Poetically named alter the enchantress Circe. The genus grows in damp shady places where
shrubs fit for incantations may be supposed to be found. The Greeks had a plant named circa-a. All the species
arc easily cultivated, and are curious on account of their singular flowers. C. lutetiana has been found in Nepal.
72. Fedia. A name of Adanson's, which, like many others of the same author, has probably no meaning. The
genus has been very properly distinguished from Valeriana by Decandolle, as well as from Valerianella, with
which it has recently been again confounded. A weed-like annual is the only species yet in our gardens.
73. Pimclea. From mu.iKvt, fat; but if so, it should be written Pimelasa. A real and extensive genus of
f>lants, natives of the southern hemisphere. Many of the species are from N. Holland, and are chiefly known
>y the brief descriptions of Mr. II. Brown.
74. Cladium. From zXccSot, a branch or twig. A tall sedge-like plant, referred by Linnaeus and his school to
Schccnus. C. germanicum is the only Fiuropean species ; it is the Schcenus mariscus of English botany. The
nthers are chiefly from N. Holland.
75. Hun no a. After F.rnr- 1 Gunner, bishop of Norway, of which country he published a Flora. A singular plant.
i ult iva ted merely as an object of curiosity. It likes a moist peat soil, and the temperature of I cool greenhouse.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
76. Anlhoxanthum. From avSo;, a flower, and iavBos, yellow, the spikes being yellow. This grass has the valval
of the calyx sprinkled over with minute yellow dots, similar to those of black-currant berries ; hence, possibly,
its peculiar scent. It is this grass which gives the peculiar smell to meadow-hay; that made from ray-grass or
other sovvn-grasses having no such odour. It is one of the earliest flowering grasses, grows on any soil, but pre-
fers one moderately dry. Stillingfleet recommends its being sown with a view to improve the flavor of mutton.
But its seeds are collected with so much difficulty that they are too costly to be sown in any great quantity.
77. Piper. Undoubtedly from pippul, the Bengalese name of the long-pepper, notwithstanding the learned
derivations of authors from ■snxTO, ir-zrn°i, to digest The plants of this genus are mostly succulent, perennial,
herbaceous, or frutescent ; often scandent as in that species which furnishes the pepper of commerce ; dichoto-
mous and jointed. P. nigrum furnishes the pepper of commerce. It grows wild in the East Indies, and in Cochin
China, and is cultivated in Malacca, Java, and especially in Sumatra. The pepper or seed is distinguished in
the shops as black or white ; the former is the dried berry in its natural state ; the latter, the berry deprived
of its skin, by steeping about a fortnight in water, and then drying in the sun. Black pepper is the hottest and
strongest. As a spice, pepper differs from most others by its pungency residing not in the volatile parts or es-
sential oil, but in a fixed substance, which does not rise in the heat of boiling water. The culture of the plant
in the pepper farms of the East very much resembles that of the hop in England. Holes are made in prepared
ground at from six to twelve feet a-part every way ; in these from two to six cuttings of the pepper vines are

planted, and afterwards staked with any rough barked wood, on which the plants climb and attach themselves
much in the mannerofour five-leaved ivy (Ampelopsis1. In Sumatra, Marsden informs us (Hist. 107.), a treecalled
the chinkareen is planted for the support of the pepper plant, as the common maple and flowering ash is for the
vine in Italy. The shoots bear in the third year ; the flowers appear in June, and the berries are ripe, and ol
a blood-red in September. The shoots are then cut down to the ground, and the berries gathered, dried in the
sun, and sorted. In three or four years more the shoots have attained full growth, and another crop is ready.

P. lH'tle affords the betel leaf of the southern Asiatics, which serves to enclose a few slices of the arcca
nut thence commonly called the betle-nut), and a little shell lime. This, the inhabitants of those countries
chew to sweeten the breath, strengthen the stomach, and ward off' the calls of hunger, as the European working
classes do tobacco. It is deemed the extreme of impoliteness in the east to speak to a superior without a piid
of betel in the mouth. The teeth of the men in Malabar are ruined by it ; but the women preserve theirs to
an old age, by staining them black with antimony. Such is the consumption of betel in the east, that it occa-
sions a branch of commerce nearly as extensive as that r,f tobacco in the west.

30 TRIANDRIA.- Class 111.
Class III. — TRIANDRIA. 3 Stamens.
This class, which is larger than the two preceding, contains most of the genera of three considerable and very
natural orders, the Irideae, Cyperaceae, and Gramineae. The first are eh efly bulbous-rooted sword-leaved plants,
with brilliant but transient flowers ; the second, sedgy grass-like plants, more curious than useful ; and the
third, the proper grasses, an order which contributes more extensively and effectually to the support of man
and domestic animals than any other, and, unless we except Lolium temulentum, containing no poisonous plant.
The genera of the grasses, Sir J. E. Smith observes, are not easily defined. Schreber and Di. Host among the
Germans, and Stillingfleet and Curtis, and more recently, Mr. R. Brown, in this country, have paid much attention
to the order ; but it is among the French that the greatest improvements have been made in the arrangement
and distribution of the genera. The principal gratninologists in that country have been Messrs. Desvaux,
Palisot de Beauvois, and Kunth, each of whom has divided the Linnaean. genera into many others ; the greater
part of which have been admitted by other botanists, and are consequently adopted here. It must, however, be
confessed, that if much has been done in remodelling the grasses, yet more remains to be effected ; and that
much more perspicuity and clearness of definition will be required before their arrangement can be said even
to approach perfection. In describing the essential characters, the phraseology of the continental botanists has
been adopted. This not being very familiar to readers in this country, the following explanation of terms
may be useful.
The parts here called G'.umce are the Calyx of Linnaeus.
PuleiB . . . Corolla.
Scale . . . Nectary.
The terms calyx and corolla applied to the floral envelopes of grasses are improper, as they are not analogous
to those organs in other plants, but are rather to be considered as a form of Bracteae, as are also the inner scales,
called Nectarium by Linnaeus. It has been considered by some writers, proper to place all the grasses in
Triandria, without reference to the number of their stamens ; but this is manifestly improper, as the whole
merit of the artificial system depends upon its principles being closely followed. The grasses not in this class
are to be found in Monandria, Diandria, Hexandria, and Polygamia. The grasses, in an ceconominal point of
view, have been scientifically experimented on by Sir H. Davy, and Mr. Sinclair, the duke of Bedford's gar
dener at Woburn.
Galaxia and Ferraria, which Persoon has placed in this class, we have, with Willdenow, placed in Monadel-
phia. Tigridia will also be found there. The following plants are Triandrous, but as they belong to very na-
tural genera, botanists have deemed it better not to separate them.

species of Amaranthus, &c. Galium trifidum, some Asperulas, Melothria, Laurus triandra, Fagara spinosa

78. Valeriana. A word of uncertain import. Linna?us derived it from a certain king Valerius. De Theis
thinks it altered from the verb valere, on account of its medicinal qualities. The species are generally orna-
mental border plants, of easy culture in common earth, and preferring shady moist situations. V. dioica
has usually the stamens and pistils in separate flowers, situated on different plants. This species and
V. officinalis are considered medicinal, and prescribed in hysterical cases and habitual costiveness. Cats
are delighted with the roots, which are said to smell like the true Teucrium marum ; and rat-catchers employ
them to draw the rats together, as they do oil of anise. V. Phu has something of the same qualities. V. trip-
teris derives its name from rms three, and s-TtjuJ, a wing, in allusion to the ternary position of its leaves.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
81. Calymenia. So named from »«Au|, a calyx, and v/mi», a membrane, on account of the membranous calyx
by which the genus is distinguished.
82. Lceflingia, In honor of P. Lcefling, a Swedish botanist, who published a volume of travels in Spain, &c
These are plants of no beauty, and are only cultivated in botanic gardens.
83. Hippocratea. In honor of the celebrated Hippocrates, the father of physicians, born in the island of
Cos, who flourished 450 years before the vulgar sera. Plumier, who first fixed the genus, called it Coa, which
Linnaeus changed to its present name.
84. Cneorum. Kviae ov is a plant described by Theophrastus, as resembling the olive. This is a low yellowish
evergreen shrub, which like Veronica decussata, will endure our winters in the open air, with protection during
frost. It grows naturally in hot dry barren and rocky soils ; thrives well in an artificial state in any light
earth ; ripened cuttings will root in sand under a hand-glass, or it may be raised from seeds, which it produces
in abundance.
85. Comocladia. Kouri, hair, and x\aio;, a branch. The branches are tufted at the top of the tree. C. in-
tegrifolia is a handsome tree with an erect trunk, dividing into few branches, adorned with pinnated smooth
leaves, like a frond ; flowers numerous, fruit a deep red, shining, eatable, but not inviting. The wood is hard,
of a fine grain, and reddish color. If C. dentata be ever so slightly wounded, it emits a strong smell of dung :
it grows in Cuba, where the natives have a notion that it is dangerous to sleep under its shade. This genus is
not frequent in British collections : it thrives in loam and peat, and may be propagated by ripened cuttings
placed under a hand-glass in moist heat.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
account of the early season of flowering, and the brilliancy of the flowers. Haworth, who has for thirty years
paid particular attention to the Crocus, (Hort. Trans, i. 122.) and raised many varieties from seed, found that
the blue, purple, and white flowered kinds, ripened their seeds much more readily than the yellow, and that
the leaves of the latter were narrower through all the species and varieties. When this genus is in flower, the
germen is situated underground almost close to the bulb, but some weeks after the decay of the flower, it
emerges on a white peduncle, and ripens its seeds above ground. This extraordinary mode of semination is
peculiarly conspicuous in C. nudiflorus, which flowers without leaves in autumn, and throws up its germen
the following spring like the Colchicum. Though some species of Crocus are, or appear to be, naturalized in a
few places, yet they cannot be considered as aboriginal natives. Allioni affirms the C. sativus (the saffron is
indigenous in Savoy ; but Ray says nothing is certain as to its native country. Professor Martyn considers
Asia as its native country, saffron having there first acquired that high reputation in medicine, which it has
now almost lost in Europe. The Arabic name Z'afaran, and the Moorish and Spanish terms Azafran and
Safra, seem to confirm this opinion. C. vernus, the sajf'ran printanier, Fr., is a native of Switzerland and
Italy, and is commonly found with white flowers and a purple base. Some botanists consider it and C. sativus as
the only distinct species of the genus. Miller describes four, Willdenow four, Sir J. E. Smith three, as natives
of Britain, and Haworth [Hort. Trans, i. 132.) no fewer than thirteen species. Parkinson certainly cultivated
many varieties which are not now known in collections. Crocus vernus and versicolor, produce by cultivation
varieties of singular beauty, both as to size, color, and marking. C. sativus, the saffron. Sajf'ran, Fr. and Ger.,
and Zafrano, Ital., is said to have been first brought into England in the time of Edward III., and introduced
to Walden in Essex, to which town it afterwards gave the praenomen. It was abundantly cultivated there, and
in Cambridge, Suffolk, and Herefordshire, in the beginning of the 17th century; but the article is now so
little in repute, or so much cheaper in foreign markets, that at present the culture of saffron is confined to a
few parishes round Saffron Walden. The bulbs are planted in July in a well pulverized soil, not poor nor a
very stiff clay ; they are placed in rows six inches apart across the ridges, and three inches bulb from bulb in
the row. The purple flowers are gathered in September and carried home, where their yellow stigmas and
part of the style arc picked out and dried on a kiln between layers of paper, and under the pressure of a thick

board to form the mass into cakes. Two pounds of dried cake is the average crop of an acre after the first
planting, and twenty-four pounds for the two next years. After the third crop the roots are taken up, divided,
and transplanted.
The uses of saffron in medicine, domestic economy, and the arts, were formerly very various. It is now
employed by painters and dyers, and enters into sauces, creams, biscuits, conserves, liqueurs, &c.
As a garden-flower, the C. vernus is the parent of many varieties, and these may be increased at pleasure by
propagating from seeds. Haworth directs to sow these immediately after being gathered in light earth, in a
shady, but open situation. Sift over them half an inch of earth the first autumn, and the second take them
up and immediately replant them. Add another half inch of earth the third autumn, and the following
spring most of the plants will show flowers in the midst of their fourth crop of leaves. Afterwards they may
be treated like old bulbs, and planted in the open borders or shrubbery, in patches, rows, or as fancy may
direct. The bulbs of crocus being renewed every year, and the new bull) formed on the top of the old one, it
follows, that at whatever depth they may have been planted, they will in a short time rise to the surface,
unlike the tulip and the bulbous iris, whose new bulbs being formed under the old ones, soon sink the plants,
unless growing on a hard subsoil. Crocus bulbs should be taken up every third year, after the leaves decay,
dried in the shade, parted, and replanted three inches deep, and not later than michaelmas. The longer they
are kept out of the ground after this period they become the weaker and flower the later. In this way, and
by preserving them in an icehouse, they may lie retarded so as to flower at midsummer or later ; and they may
be accelerated by heat or blown in water-glasses, or on fancy pots called cats, hedgehogs, &c. common in the
seed-shops. The yellow -flowered species force better than the blue ones.
14. IVttunia. In honor of Mr. Witsen, a Dutch consul in India, a patron of botanical science, and of
Thunberg. This genus and all the succeeding, as far as l'ardanthus, consist of handsome herbaceous and
bulbous plants, flowering for the most part in the spring, and not distinguished from each other by very
distinct characters. The bulbous sorts are easily cultivated in pots, are nearly all natives of the sandy wastes
of the Cape of Good Hope, and are capable of succeeding well in a warm open border. To make them
flower well in pots, thev should have no water while thev are dormant,

flower of a month's duration. W. mexicana is also very shewy, and has kidney-shaped bulbs.
102. Babiana. A name barbarously derived by Mr. J.B. Ker from the name babiuner, which the Dutch
colonists at the Cape have given to the plant, because its roots are the favourite food of baboons. B. ringens
nas dark-red bulbs.
In.). Lapeyrousia. So named by Mr.J.B.Ker.in honour of Lapeyrouse the celebrated and unfortunate Trench

mamca, and pseud-acorus are used in medicine ; those of the first are remarkable for communicating an odor
like that of violets, and are the orrice-root (iris- root) of the shops. The root of I. pseud-acorus, in powder,
usea as snuff, produces a great heat in the mouth and nose, and occasions discharge from the nostrils : it is
astringent, and used instead of galls in making ink or dying black. The fresh juice of the root is one of the
most powerful cathartics, and in that way has cured inveterate dropsies. I. germanica possesses similar qualities,
and the root of either species suspended in wine or beer, keeps the latter from growing stale, and communicates
a pleasant taste and smell to the former. The leaves and roots of I. foetidissima are steeped in beer by the
country people in some places as a purge. I. susiana flowers well in a warm border and loamy soil. I. fim-
briata is rather tender ; it requires a rich light soil, and to make it flower freely, it must be planted in a large
pot, and have the suckers removed from the roots as soon as they appear. I. orientalis requires a similar treat-
ment, and with the two preceding species requires the protection of a green-house to make it flower in per-
fection. Of I. xiphioides there are numerous varieties procured from seeds, which are treated much in the
same way as those of crocus. This species, and I. tuberosa are very ornamental ; thev thrive best in a light

sandy soil and eastern exposure; the bulbs are taken up every other year, but must not be kept longer out of
ground than a month. I. persica is highly odoriferous ; it is propagated by separating the bulbs, or from seeds ;
but by the latter mode no new varieties have hitherto been obtained. I. susiana and persica bear forcing well :
supplies of them, and of I. xiphioides are annually imported from Holland. In a deep and loose soil the roots
of the tuberous and bulbous species of this genus are apt to run down when they cease to flower, and getting
gradually weaker and weaker, are at last lost. To prevent this, Miller advises to form a stratum of rubbish
about a foot and a half under the surface.
116. Mortea. So named by Miller, in honor of Robert Moore, of Shrewsbury, a distinguished botanist, of
whom there exists a memoir in the Philosophical Transactions. M. pavonia is one of the most elegant species
of the genus. The bulbs of M. edulis are eaten at the Cape of Good Hope, both by men and monkeys : and
lhns» of M. sisyrinchium are eaten in Spain. Sweet recommends, as the best soil for these plants, " a mixture
of sandy loam."

History, Use, Propagation, CuJture,
flowers. M. northiana has beautiful and transient flowers, like the rest of the species, all of which grow freely
in a rich light soil, and are readily increased by parting the roots or from seeds.
118. Rardanihtis. Named by Mr. J.B.Ker,from cranio;, a leopard, and cctS-e;, a flower, on account of the spot-
ted flower.
119. Schoenus. From xoivos or rxouos, a cord, in Greek. From plants of this kind the first cordage is sup-
Iiosed to have been made. All the plants from this genus to Mariscus, No. 130., are sedgy plants of similar
labit, of value in an ceconomical point of view, but not cultivated for ornamental purposes.
180. Rhynchospora, (pvyx°s> a snout or rostrum, and trmex, a seed.) The seeds are beaked.
121. Fimbristylis. So named by Vahl. The word is constructed from the Latin^mMa, a fringe, and stylus,
the style.
122. Isolepis. From ktc;, equal, and XiTit, a scale, on account of the relative form of the «calcs which con.
ftiiutc the inflorescence.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
125. Eriophorum. From i$tov, wool, and f «»», to bear. Its seeds are covered with silky tufts of a wool-like
substance. Tor the same reason it is called in English cotton-grass.
128. Trichophui um. From Am| Tti%as, hair, and ?=£«, to bear. Its inflorescence resembles a bunch of hair. This
genus and Eriophorum grow in peat bogs, and have their seeds clothed at the base with a white or brown
silky down or cotton-like substance, from which specimens of cloth have been made, paper, and wicks for can-
dles ; and in Sweden, pillows stuffed. Of these genera, and of the Cyperacea? in general, it has been observed
by Villars, that being mostly natives of bogs, marshes, and watery places, they have a tendency to raise
aiid dry such spots. The roots and base of the stems rot and become peat, and thus are useful as firing or
manure.
127. Cyperus. The roots of some species of this genus have eatable roots, and are considered aphrodisiacal in
a high degree. It is, therefore, probable that the word derived its origin from Cypris, a name of Venus. This
is a genus of sub-aquatic or marsh sedgy plants, more injurious than useful, anil of little or no beauty. The
root of C. longus is agreeably aromatic, warm, and bitter : those of C. esculentus {souchet comestible. Fr ) pro-
duce round tubercles about the size of peas, which are eaten in some places in France and Spain ; ana when
boiled, taste something like chestnuts.
128. Papyrus. A word of obscure origin. P. antiquorum yields the substance used as paper by the ancient
Egvptians. In Syria it is called babeer, and hence, probably, the words papyrus anJ paper. The flower-stalk rises
about ten feet from a long horizontal thick root, the lower part clothed with long hollow sword-shaped leaves

of a brown color. The ancients made their paper from the pellicle found between the flesh and bark of the
thick part of the stalk ; ribbons of which were united till they formed the si;:c required, and then pressed, and
dried in the sun. The top of the stalk, with the umbel of flowers, adorned the temples, and crowned the
statues of the gods. Antigonus used the stalks for ropes and cables to his fleets, before the use of spartum
[Lygevm tpartum, still used on the coast of Provence for small vessels, and also in Spain was known. Pliny
says, the whole plant was used for making boats ; and Bruce says, they have no other boat in Abyssinia. That
traveller found it growing in the rapid course of the river Jordan, and he there remarked that it constantly op-
posed one of the angles of its stem to the current, as if to elude the violence of the waves. Perhaps, if the
Observation were applied to similar plants in our own rivers, the same result would be obtained. The root was
chewed for its juice, which is also practised in Abyssinia with various species of eyperus, and with those of
maize. The papyrus is indigenous in Calabria as weil a.s in Ethiopia and Egypt, in Stagnant water ; but only in
the calishes or swamps of the Vile, and never in the stream as has been supposed. To thrive in our stoves, it
requires to be placed in a cistern of water with rich mud at the bottom. Plants BO treated, at White Knights,
near Reading, have attained a large size, and flower freely

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
182. Lyceum. From /.vytu, to bend, in allusion to its flexibility. This plant is used in Spain, Provence, and
other places for making ropes, baskets, nets, and for filling their paillasses or lower mattrasses. Ropes were
made of it by the Romans. Esparto (spartum) is the Spanish appellation of this and other grasses used for si-
milar purposes.
133. Cornucopice. The spike inclosed in the involucrum peculiar to the genus, resembles the " Horn of
Plenty. 1 he leaves and flower of C. cucullatum. Sir J. E Smith observes, are perhaps of all grasses the most
singular and uncommon. It is a native of the vales about Smyrna, whence it was sent to England bv Sherard
and is preserved in the Chelsea garden and at Kew.
134. Cenchrui. K=^f»f is the Greek name of the millet ; bv which, it is probable, that Setaria italica was
intended. C. cchinatus is the most common grass in the pastures of Jamaica, and is looked on as a wholesome
and pleasant food for horses and cattle.
135 Pennisrtum. From penna, a pen, and seta, a bristle ; a feathery bristle, referring to the nature of the
involucrum.
136. Spartina. A word altered from spartum, the specific appellation of Evgeum ; the plants being similar
to the latter in habit. The origin of the word spartum has not been satisfactorily explained. The Spaniards
call this, and similar tough grasses, useful to them in making ropes, esparto.
137. Nardus. The term nxfoo,- was applied by the Greeks to a substance possessing a peculiar per-

fume. It is difficult to assign a reason for the name having lieen applied to this insignificant genus of
Oryxopsh. Oryza, rice, and trl?i;, appearance The plant resembles rice.
139. Paspnlum. One of the Greek names for millet, toco-tocA^.
140. Axonopus. From ££m, axis, and t«;, a foot, because the chief difference between this genus and Pas-
palum consists in the spikes being separately placed, as it were, upon little stalks or feet.
141 Milium. Derived bj ■ from millc, a thousand, on account of its numerous grains ; by others, from
mil, the Celtic for a pebble, in reference to the hard shining nature of the grains. M. eff'usum is admired for
the elegance of its panicle. M. paradoxum resembles the Artindo.
1+'.'. Knapi'ia. Named after Mr. Knapp, an author of an illustrated work upon Ilrttish grasses,&e.. much
esteemed. A minute plant, resembling an agro-.tis.
1 IS Digitnria. From diuitus, a finger, on account of the singular manner in whic h the heads are divided ;
or, as the botanists express it, lingered. D. sanguinalis has its specific name, not from the color as might be
sup|Hised, but from an idle trick which the boys in some parts of Germany have of pricking one another's nos-
trils with its spikelets till they bleed. It abounds by the road sides in Poland and Lithuania, where its seeds
are collected and boiled whole like rice, with milk, and highly esteemed
144 I'duicum. Pliny says, so called, from its flowers being in a panicle; but others derive the name from

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
pants, bread, because of its uses as such. Of P. miliaceum there are two varieties, the brown and yellow. They
are sometimes sown in this country for feeding poultry, and for having the husk taken off, to be used as
rice; but the ample supplies received from the shores of the Mediterranean, render the culture of the plant
unnecessary P. arborescens, is said, by Linnaeus, to contend for height with the loftiest trees in the East In-
dies, though the culm is scarcely thicker than a goose quill. This culm resembles that of Commelina, and
shoots up through the branches of trees in woods and jungles.
145. Setaria. From seta, a bristle, on account of the bristles of the involucrum. S. italica is frequently called
millet, and its seeds are used for the same purposes. S. germanica is cultivated in Hungary as food for horses
for which it is preferred before all other grasses. The seeds may be used as millec. Sparrows are remarkably
fond of the seeds of S. viridis ; and, according to Curtis, this and the two preceding genera, when cultivated in
gardens, require to be protected from them from the time they come into flower.
146. Echinochloa. From s^/vo;, a hedge-hog, and vXms, a grass, on account of the prickly appearance of the heads of
Sowers. E. crus-galli is a coarse grass which grows thick and close, and stands dry weather better than most others'.

149. I.appago. The flowers are rough, with little prickles like Lappa or Burdock.
150. Stipa. From .ct/Tjj, silky or feathery material. S. pennata has beautifully feathered beards which dis-
tinguish it from all other grasses. Gerarde says, they were worn in his time by " sundry ladies instead of
feathers." S. tenacissima is used in Spain for the same purposes as Lygeum spartum, and like it, is called Es.

American genus of grasses.
152. Chielurus. From \turtt, a head of hair, and »««, a tail. So named by Link, from the silky appearance
of the panicles.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
154. Pilypogon. Named by M. Desfontaines from rroXw, much, and Tuyum, beard, in allusion to its bearded
heads.
155. Gastridiiu/i. From yturreiitot, a little swelling : the glumes are ventricose at the base A very small
grass, formerly referred to Milium.
156. Agrostis. Derived from ay^tx, a field. Agrostis was the name given by the Greeks to all grasses.
Of this genus the most remarkable species is the A. stolonifera or fiorin, so much recommended by Dr.
Richardson ; but respecting which the opinion of practical men is still unsettled, and, on the whole, rather un-
favorable than otherwise. It seems to suit the climate and soil of Ireland, and to be more productive and nutritive
there than any where else. In the account of the Wobum experiments on grasses, it is observed of fiorin, that
it appears to possess "merits well worthy cf attention, though, perhaps, not so great as has been supposed, if the
natural place of its growth and habits be impartially taken into the account." It is called squitch, quick, &c.
like the common couch-grass, from the length of time it retains its vital power. Like other plants, which pro-
pagate themselves abundantly by extension of their parts, it rarely bears seeds, and is therefore propagated bv
cuttings of the stems laid along drills an inch deep, and slightly covered with soil. A. vulgaris, which in
dry amble land is called the black quitch, is the most common and earliest of the bents, but inferior to several
in produce, and the quantity of nutritive matter it affords. The bents are generally rejected by the agricul-
turist on account of their lateness of flowering; but this circumstance, as Sinclair observes Davy's Apr. Client.
App. lxxv. does not always imply a proportional lateness of foliage. A. vulgaris is in leaf by the middle of
April. A. stolonifera is two weeks later, and A. nivea, and repens, three weeks later. In the south of France

expose them for sale in the market places in small bundles, as food for horses.

and Miscellaneous Particulars.
157. Trichodium. Named from 0e4 -rfx^y hair. °» account of its capillary inflorescence. T. decumbens is
the famous Agrostis cornucopis of Frazer, respecting which so much was said some years ago- but which
upon trial did not prove so valuable an agricultural grass as it was represented to be.
158. Tristceis From t?=;?, three, and riyvi, a covering, on account of the three glumes or valves of the calyx
159. SporMus. From <ttoj«, a seed, and $ak\u>, to cast forth. Its grains are loose, and easily fall out of
their husks.
lfiO. Aimpsis. A word formed by M. Desvaux, from Aira, and 0-4,1;, like. The genus resembles Aira in ap-
pearance.
161. Cinna. An ancient name used by Dioscorides, who ascribes heating and stimulating qualities to this
grass when eaten by cattle, whence the name (from znv, to heat). Linnsus applied it to this genus of Ameri-
can grasses.
162. Psamma. From -lau.ua, sand, in which this grass grows in vast abundance on the sea-coasts of
Europe. P. arenanum has a strong creeping perennial root with many tubers at the joints, the size of a pea.
It is planted and encouraged on the coast of Norfolk to aid in Hxing the sand against the action of the wind
and tides, winch it effects in a surprising manner. The marruin, as it is called, is considered of so much im-
portance that there are severe laws to prohibit its being destroyed. Mats are made of it, and it is used as
thatch.
163. Crypsis. From x°vttu, to conceal; the heads of flowers being at one time concealed in the sheaths of
the leaves.
16*. Alopccurus. AA«m£ a fox, and * «, a tail : fox-tail. A. pratensis is one of the best of meadow-grasses,
possessing the three great requisites of quantity, quality and earliness, in a superior degree to any other. It is

and Miscellaneous Particulars.
168. Phalaris. An ancient name said to have arisen out of qako;, brilliant, because the plant had shining
grains. P. canadensis is cultivated for the seeds, which are given to singing birds, and more especially the
canary. It requires a loamy soil, well manured, clean, and in good tilth. The grain is sown in February, in
drills, six inches apart, and the plants are thinned to two inches distance in the rows. The growth of canary
grass is slower than that of the common weeds, with which it is in consequence liable to be overrun, if they
are not kept under by hoeing and hand-weeding. The culture of this grass is chiefly carried on in the isle of
Thanet, where the chaff' is esteemed as a horse food; but the straw being short, it produces little fodder or
manure.
169. Corynephorus. From xofvtr,, a club, and ipt^a, to bear. The beard is jointed, and the last articulation is
club-shaped.
170. Aira, is the name applied by the Greeks to the Lolium of the Romans, our Lolium temulentum. It
signifies "something deadly," in allusion to the dangerous eliects of that plant; but the name has no refer-
ence to any species of the genus to which it has been applied by Linnaus. A. aquatica is relished by cattle,
and water-fowl are fond of the young shoots and seeds. It is introduced in decoys, by throwing plants in the
water with a weight tied to them. A. ca'Spitosa is common in marsh-meadows, and occasions those excre-
scences called tussocks or hassocks which interrupt the progress of the scythe. Though cows eat the grass,
horses will not. The stiff erect stalks frequently bear viviparous flowers.
17L Avena. A name of obscure origin. De Theis thinks it has been derived from the Celtic word atcn,
which comes from elan, to cat ; and whence our common word ait, oat, has been obtained. A. sativa is the
common cultivated oat, and A. nuda and tartarica are also sometimes cultivated. Of the first species there
are numerous varieties, some more permanent, as the w hite and black ; others temporary, as the potatoe oat,
Angus oat, &c. No botanist has been able to ascertain satisfactorily the native place of this or any other of
our cultivated grains. A. fatua is accounted a distinct species; but some think the naked, tartarian, common,

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
and wild oat originally the same. The wild oat is remarkable for the length of lime the gram will lie In the
soil, and retain its vegetative powers ; its awns are sometimes used as hygiometers, and its seeds as artificial
flies in fishing. Where it abounds naturally it is an inveterate weed
The oat, in an agricultural point of view, is a grain only calculated for cold climates. In Italy and France,
and even in the southern counties of England, the ears are small and husky, and afford little meal ; the paniole
is open, and the foot-stalks of the ears small ; and in July and August the heat dries them up, and obstructs the
progress of the sap to the grain. On the other hand, this naked airy panicle is better for drying after rains and
dews than the close spikes of wheat and barley, which, while they serve to guard the ears'from the extremes
Of heat in warm climates, are apt to rot or become mouldy (covered with fungi) in cold moist countries or sea-
sons. The grain of the oat, though chiefly used as food for horses, is also more or less a bread corn in every
country where it is generally cultivated. Fourteen pounds of grain vield eight pounds of meal ; in some places,
as Yorkshire and Aberdeenshire, this meal is ground nearly as fine' as flour ; in others, as at Edinburgh, it is
made of a coarser quality. The kernel freed from the husk, and entire, is used for gruels, and forms an article
of commerce with Embden, Bremen, and some towns where the grains are grown to a large size on the variety
known as the Friesland oat. The fine powder which is produced by the operation of husking the corn, or
making grist, forms a jelly, the sowensof the Scotch, and furmerty of the Irish, an agreeable and wholesome
food. Water-gruel from a coarse oatmeal, is esteemed a cooling laxative drink.
A. nuda, the naked, or hill-oat, or peel-corn, when ripe drops the grains from the husks. It was generally
cultivated in Worlige's time " in the north of England, Scotland, and Wales, because the kernel threshes clean
out of the husk, and need not be carried to the mill to be made into meal or grist." It was made into meal bv
the lowcr classes, by drying on the hearth, and bruising in a stone mortar, as still practised in the Highlands of
Scotland, in Lapland, Ceylon, China, and in every country under certain circumstances of civilization. In the
low country of Scotland, the quern mills, as thev'were called, now no longer in use, may be seen neglected or
dilapidated, by the doors or about the gardens of cottages and villages, where they were formerly in use.
Avena sterilis is sometimes grown as an object of curiosity, under the name of the animal oat, on account
of its singular nygrometrical properties. After the seeds have' fallen off, the strong beard is so sensible of alu-r.

172. Trisetum. . Three bristles) ; on account of the three beards or awns of the flower. Trisetum puoescens,
according to the Woburn experiments (vii.l, possesses several good qualities, which recommend it to parti-
cular notice. It is hardy, early, and more productive than many others which affect similar soils and situ-
ations. It appears well calculated for permanent pasture on rich light soils. Trisetum flavescens is also a use-
ful grass; but the most valuable as a grass is the Avena elatior, L. the Holcus avenaceus of Kng. Bot., which
will be noticed hereafter in its proper place. (In Polygamia monoecia, under Arrhetutiherwn).
17-5. Dant/ionia. A genus containing some incongruous species of Avena, and named after M. Danthoinc, a

174. Gauilinia. Named in honor of M. Gaudin, a Swiss botanist, who paid great attention to the study of
grasses, and who published an Agrostographia Helvetica in 1811, still a work of reputation.

Celtic word for water. Phragmites is derived from $;ayfj.o;, a hedge or separation. A. donax, Canne, l'r.,
Ruhr, Ger., and Canni di Giardim, ltal. is common in the south of France and Italy, « here it is cultivated as
fence-wood, for supporting the vine, for fishing-rods, and a great variety of purposes. In Spain and Portugal
it forms an article of commerce, and supplies materials for the looms, fishing-rods, &C. of this country. The
striped-leaved variety igardener's garters used formerly to be a common inhabitant of gardens.
A. phragmites, Roseau de Marais, l'r. Gemeilte Ruhr, Ger. : and Canna pa/t/s/re, ltal. is used for thatch-
ing, for protecting embankments or sea-dykes, for ceilings to cottages, verandahs, and rustic buildings ; to lay
across the frame of wood work as the foundation for plaister floors, and for screens and hot-lied covers in
kitchen gardens. The panicles will dye wool green ; and the roots, it is said, are good in liver complaints, like
those of Triticum repens.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
Vitaliano Donati's Natural History of the Adriatic sea, published in 1750. The species were formerly part of
Cynosurus.
17S Cynosurus. Kvw x-jvo;, a dog, and »<>«, a tail : dog's-tail.
179. Kneleria. Named after M. Kohler, a professor of natural history at Mayence, and author of some works
upon grasses. A pretty genus of grasses, with elegant silky heads.
180. Dacty/is. (A<x,ztv>.o;, a finger : finger-grass\ The divisions of its heads may be fancied to resemble the
fingers, and the large cluster at the bottom the thumb of an animal. D. glomerata is a coarse grass of early
and rapid growth, and considered valuable as a pasture grass on light soils from the quantity of herbage it af-
fords. It comes in from the time turnips are over, till the meadows are fit for grazing; but old and drv, or
made into hay, neither horses nor cattle are fond of it. To reap the full benefit of this grass, it must be kept
closely cropt It has been of late strongly recommended by Mr. Coke of Holkham.
181. Glyceria. (From yXuxv;, sweet, in allusion to the herbageV This is the Festuca fluitans of L. : it is
found in stagnant water, and its long narrow leaves float on the surface. Horses, cattle, ami swine are fond of
this grass, which oroduces abundance of seeds, which are eaten greedily by geese, ducks, and fish, especially the
trout {Salmofario). These seeds are very nourishing, and are collected in some parts of Germany and Poland,
under the name of manna seeds, and used in soups and gruels. The plant will not thrive unless on land that
is constantly under water.
182. Festuca. In Celtic, the word fest signifies pasture, food. We may be satisfied with this explanation in
want of a better. This genus affords some valuable hay and pasture grasses. F. imrsa has a fine short sweet
foliage, well adapted to the masticating organs of sheep, and for producing delicate mutton : it is totally unfit
for hay, and according to Sir H. Davy's experiments, it does not possess the nutritive powers generally ascribed
to it. It is an excellent grass for lawns, requiring little mowing, and forming so thick a turf as to sudor few
intruding plants. It should be sown about the middle of August, on ground nicely prepared, open, and not too
light or dry. The same remarks will apply to F. rubra and amethystine

and Miscellaneous Particulars.
F. duriuscula, i?a good grass either for hay or permanent pasture : hares are remarkablv fond of it : its pro-
duce in the spring is not very great, but the quality is fine, and the quantity is considerable at the time of
flowering. F. calamaria is subject to the disease in the grain called clavus, in which the seed swells to three
times the usual size, and the kernel is wanting.
F. pratensis is one of the six grasses (Anthoxanthumodoratum, Alopecurus pratensis, Poa pratensis and tri-
vialis, Cynosurus cristatus, and the F. pratensis) which Curtis recommends before all others for laving down
meadows or pastures, on soil either moist or moderately dry. According to the Woburn experiments', the value
of this grass cut at the time the seed is ripe, is to that of the grass cut at the time of flowering as 6 to 18 ; one
proof, among many others, of the advantage of cutting almost all grasses when in flower rcitlier than later.
W. Salisbury says, " if land intended for meadow could be laid down with one bushel of F. pratensis, one of
Alopecurus pratensis, three pounds of Antlioxanthum, a little Bromus mollis, with white clover, the farmer
will seek no farther. '
F. elatior dirters little from F. pratensis, but in being larger in every respect. According to the Woburn ex-
periments ;xl.) " the produce is nearly that of the former, and the nutritive powers superior in the propor-
tion of 8 to 6.
F. loliacea greatly resembles the rye-grass in habit and place of growth : " it has excellencies which make it
greatly superior to that grass, for the purposes either of hay or of permanent pasture. It improves in propor-
tion to its age, which is directly the reverse of rye-grass." ( Hub. exp. xxxiii.)
F. glauca, cut at the time of flowering, exceeds in value the same grass cut when the seeds are ripe in the
proportion of 0 to 12, a strong proof of the value of the leaves and culm in grasses intended for the scythe, and
the loss, as we have before observed, of leaving them for the sake of the seed when they become dry and wiry.
Alter this grass, and indeed most others, are in flower, " the root leaves neither increase in number nor in size ;
but a total suspension of increase appears in eiery part of the p'ant, the roots and seed-vcsseLi excepted."

History, Use, Propagation, Culture;
183. Mygalurus. Named by I.ink, from puya\v„ a mouse, and »»«, a tail. An alteration of the previous
specific name of one of the species, Festuca myurus, L. A natural genus, better distinguished by natural than
by artificial characters.
184. Bromus. B;«/*o; is the name given by the Greeks to a sort of wild oat. Most of the species of this genus
are ot a coarse quality, and being strictly annuals are of little value as pasture, and as hay produce no after
math. Sir H. Davy found that the nutritive powers of the straws and leaves of most of the species were greatest
when the plant is coining into flower ; because, like all other plants strictly annual, or which do not shoot up
again trom the root the same season, when left till the seed is ripe, the leaves and straws become dried up.
B. secalinus is often found among rye and wheat crops ; the seeds when ground among the flour are said to
impart a bitter taste to bread, and to have similar narcotic qualities as Lolium temulentum. In Scania, the
panicles are used to dye green; and there, as formerly in Britain, rye was supposed to degenerate into this
grass 1 he seeds of 15. mollis are said to bring on giddiness in the human species and quadrupeds, and to be
tafcj lo poultry. Ii. aspcr is the tallest of British grasses ; it has had many names, but is distinguished from all

others by the hairyness of its stalks. It is found in copscwood in clayey moist soils. Bromus gigantcus partly
resembles it.

Red-top in the southern states of N. America. Pursh says, "a most excellent grass. I have seen mountain
meadows in Pennsylvania where they mow this grass tiviee a-year, producing most excellent crops each time
without manure or any other trouble than the mowing, lasting for the space of sixteen vcars without the 'east
decline in the crops, trie soil at the same time being a very indifferent one."

189. Ceratoe' loa. The seed having three little horns, the name has been contrived in reference to that cir-
cumstance : x'.^as, a horn, and £Ao»i, grass.
190. Sckismus. From c-x.nr/M:, a cleft. The outer palea is emarginate or cleft.
191. Triodia. T%us, three, dhous, teeth, on account of the three teeth of the palea.
192. Beckmannia. In honor of M. Beckmann, the celebrated author of the History of Inventions, and of a
Lexicon Botanicum, published in 1801, besides other works.
193. Melica. A name applied in Italy to the Holcus sorghum, L., the pith of which is like met, honey.
M. ciiiata and nutans are curious grasses, deserving a place in botanic parterres.
194. Mo/inia. In honor of Giovanni Ignatio Molina, who wrote an account of the plants of Chili, published
in 1782. Of M. ca^rulea, the fishermen of the isle of Sky make ropes for their nets, which they find will bear
the water well without rotting. None of the species are cultivated.
195. Briza. From ,3§..^a>, to balance, the spikelets being continually in a state of balance or suspension in the
air. This is an ornamental or curious genus, of little value in agriculture. The perennial species indicate a
poor soil, and are bitter in taste. B. maxima is sometimes sown as a border annual.
196. Poa. Hoi) is the Greek name of herb. This genus affords several valuable pasture, and some good hay
grasses. P. aquatica is one of the tallest of British grasses, with a powerful creeping root, a native of most
parts of Europe, and very common in the fens of Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire, where it not only affords rich
pasturage in summer, but forms the chief winter's fodder. It is sometimes cut thrice in one season. It grows
not only in very moist ground, but in deep water ; and with cat's tail, burr-reed, &c. soon fills up ditches, and
occasions them to require frequent cleansing. In this respect it is a formidable plant even in slow rivers. In
the isle of Ely they cleanse these by an instrument called a bear, which is an iron roller with a number of pieces
of iron like small spades fixed in it ; this is drawn up and down the river by horses walking along the bank,

and tears up the plants by the roots, which float, and are carried down the stieam. (Curtis.) W. Salisbury
says, " it is highly ornamental, and might be introduced into ponds for the same purposes as Arundo pti rag-
mites, or planted with Festuca elatior, Poa sudetica, and Phalaris arundinacea in pits and wator-holding exca-
vations, where it would be useful as fodder, and form excellent shelter for game." {Bot. Comp. ii. 11.)
P. alpina, in common with many alpine grasses which live almost constantly in a moist vapour, is frequently
viviparous. Linna?us says, it is the rudiment of the germen which grows and forms the young plant ; Sir
J. E Smith, that the glumes change into leaves, and at length the fiuctification into a bud.
P. trivialis Curtis considers one of our best meadow and pasture grasses, especially for moist soils and shel-
tered situations ; on dry exposed situations it is not productive, and, as Sinclair observes, dies off in the space of
four or five years. Contrary to what is the case in almost all other grasses, the hay of this species is of most
value cut when the seed is ripe. It and P. annua are almost the only grasses that will thrire in grass plats in
towns and small confined situations.
P. angustifolia is a valuable grass for permanent pasture, being of rapid and early growth ; but the stalks and
leaves being subject to the rust, it is obviously unfit for hay. P. pratensis assumes a beautiful verdure very
early in spring ; but as it sends up flower-stalks onlv once in a season, it is less adapted for hay than for early
and permanent pasture. Cultivated by itself, it becomes so much matted by its creeping roots as to be unpro-
ductive, unless on water meadows, for which it is one of the best of grasses. P. annua is a diminutive plant,
the most common in all temperate climates, and perhaps in the world. P. sudetica is a tall aquatic. P. glauca
is ornamental from its glaucous hue. P. maritima Sir H. Dary found to be one of the best grasses for producing
latter-math. P. fcrtilis (P. serotina) ranks as one of the most valuable of grasses. According to the \Yoburn
experiments it produces the greatest abundance of early foliage next to P. angustifolia. It prefers a clayey
coil, aud flowers late.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
P. abyesinica is grown as a bread-corn in Abyssinia, and furnishes the teff bread ; that made from wheat
being used only by the superior ranks. The dough is allowed to turn sour, and by generating carbonic acid gas,
answers instead of yeast ; it is then baked into circular cakes, which are white, spongy, of a hot disagreeable
sourish taste, but light of digestion. The same bread, well toasted, and infused in water for some days, fur.
nishes the bouza or common beer of the country, like the quas (sour, Rus.) of Russia.
1197. Eragrostis. An elegant appellation derived from t^os and ay^ern, Love-grass. The pretty dancing
spikelets are the delight of children, and remembered by men long after many of their other innocent pleasures
have ceased to retain their charm. The plants resemble the Briza or quaking-grass.
198. Megastachya. From piyat, large, and s-«xw , a spike, on account of the large panicles of the genus.
199. Sclerochloa. Hard-grass drx.Xr,i oj, rigid, and x^"i> grass). A genus of hard worthless grasses.
200. Eleusine. Eleusis was one of the appellations of Ceres, the goddess of grasses E. coracana, according
to Thunberg, is cultivated in Japan for its edible seeds.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
T. a?stivum, and the five following sorts, are most probably variations of the same species. It is certain that
winter-wheat sown in spring will ripen the following summer, though the produce of succeeding generations
of spring-sown wheat is found to ripen better. White, red, awned, and beardless wheat change and run into
each other on different soils and in different climates ; and even the Egyptian wheat is known to change in this
country to the single-spiked common plant. There is a sort of summer-wheat apparently a distinct species from
those which have been mentioned ; the agricultural treatment of which, as well as the general appearance, is
similar to that of barley. The straw is short and soft, the ears awned, small, and easily threshed, and the grain
may be sown in May and reaped in August or September. It is very subject to the black disease, and though
it has been tried in a number of places has never come into general cultivation. A variety from India, called
" hill-wheat," and another from the Cape of Good Hope, have also been tried with no better results. But the
hill-wheat, and, we believe, the hill-barley, also, of the northern provinces of India has been cultivated with suc-
cess in Germany, under the direction of the Archduke John of Austria. T. monococcum grown in Switzerland,
is of similar appearance.
T. spelta appears a distinct species, and more hardy than common wheat ; it has a stout straw almost solid,
with strong spikes and chaff adhering firmly to the grain. The grain is light, yields but little flour, and makes
but indifferent bread. It is grown in Switzerland in elevated situations, where common wheat would not
ripen : also in Bavaria and other parts of Germany. It is sown in spring, and ripens in July and August.
Of the common wheat there are many varieties, but the most permanent are the red and white grained, and
the spring-wheat, which is generally red. The Hertfordshire reds anil whites, woolly eared, awned, and nearly
fifty other names are merely sub-varieties of the red and white. Wheat answers best when treated as a bien-
nial, though it does not remain above one year in the ground. Provided the soil be well prepared and dry,
and the grain sown in time, the plants do not suffer from the greatest cold of our climate, or even that of Rus-
sia. In the latter country, and in the northern counties of Britain, the fields are covered with snow, which re-
taining a temperature of from 30 to 32 degrees, the plants are found to vegetate and establish their roots firmly
in the soil. The snow is not thawed off till the weather is decidedly warm in spring, when the plants make
rapid progress, apparently more so than in warmer climates. Wheat, like all culmiferous plants, may be said
to have two distinct sets of roots ; the seminal or tap-root, and the coronal or surface-root, the former proceed-
ing from the embryo, and the latter from the first joint of the stem. The former seem intended to nourish
the plant vhile young, to fix it to the soil, and to penetrate into the sub-soil for water ; the latter to search
along the surface among the lighter materials of the soil for nutritive particles. There is in the Banksian
museum, a stalk of wheat of ordinary length with a tap-root six feet long, which had penetrated into a sub-
soil of limestone brush, and was taken up in digging a drain. It grew on the estate of J. Fane, Fsq. at Worm-
ley in Oxfordshire, in 1818. M. Sageret, a scientific French agriculturist, found that when wheat or any of the
other grains were etiolated immediately after germination, by growing too rapidly or being sown too thick, the
first joint from which the coronal or surface roots proceed is raised above the ground, and in consequence either
throws out no roots at all, or so few as to nourish it imperfectly, in which cases it either dies before it comet
into flower, or before the grains are matured. This accurate statement of what takes place, is well calculated
to show the bad effects of sowing winter-wheats too early, or spring-corn too late, and grasses in general too
thick. Animal substances, and especially bones and urine, are the best manures for wheat, as containing much
gluten, a substance found in a greater proportion in that grain than any other. Next to animal manures lime
is important, as tending to the same effect by chemical combinations. Wheat is almost every where culti-
vated, both in the temperate and torrid zone, to the 45th degree of north latitude, and the height of 20(H) feet
above the level of the sea in southern latitudes.
The insects and diseases which attack wheat are various. The grubs of chaffers and beetles, as well as the
wire-worm (the larva of different species of Tipula), attack the roots ; the wheat-fly (Tipula tritici) the ears ;
the smut or black the grains ; and the mildew, rust, or blight, different names for the same disease, the whole
plant. The mildew Sir J. Banks determined to he produced by the growth of a minute fungus on the straws
and chaff of the plant, and Dr. Cartwright (Phil. Mag. Oct. 1820.) ascertained it might be destroyed by water-
ing with salt and water. The smut converts the farinaceous part of the grain into a black powder, and is sup-
posed to be prevented or lessened by steeping the grain previously to sowing in any strong saline mixture. It

is not easy, however, to cure diseases in the vegetable kingdom, and therefore the grand objects of the mill
vator ought to be to procure healthy seed, and apply judicious culture.
The uses of wheat are well known. The grain yields a greater proportion of flour than every other ; for,
while 141bs. of barley yield 121bs. of flour, and of oats 81bs., the same quantity of wheat yields l.ilbs. It is
also more nutritive, 1000 parts of barley yielding 920, of oats 743, and wheat 955 soluble parts. Of these, the
gluten of wheat is 90, of barley 60, and of oats 87. (Davy. Ag. Chem. 138.) Gluten is so essential an ingredient
in bread that the pannary fermentation cannot go on without it, and hence the inferiority of that article in
wet seasons, when wheat is blighted or ill ripened, and the advantage of having a stock of old grain, or of grain
from the south of Europe, especially of the Mediterranean isles end coasts.
Wheat starch is made from wheat, by steeping it, and afterwards beating it in hempen bags. The mucilage
being thus mixed with the water produces the acetous fermentation, and the weak acid thus formed, renders
the mucilage white. After settling, the precipitate is repeatedly washed, and then put in square cakes. In
drying, the cakes separate into flakes as found in the shops. Starch is soluble in hot water, but not in cold ;
and hence, ground down, it makes an excellent hair powder. Its constituents are carbon 43'55 ; oxygen 4968 ;
hydrogen 677 = 100.
The straw of wheat, from dry chalky lands, is manufactured into hats, for which purpose the middle part of
the tube above the last joint is taken, and being cut into lengths of 8 or 10 inches, these pieces being split are
used to form the plait. The operation of plaiting is performed by females and children, who plait it into rib-
bons of from one to two inches broad, and these are afterwards sown together on blocks or moulds, beginning
at the crown, in various shapes according to fancy or fashion. The best straw is produced on the chalky soil
about Dunstable, where plaiting is a common occupation. Other grasses afford culms which have also been
used and manufactured into much finer and expensive work that those of wheat or rye. Leghorn hats are
made from the straw of a bearded variety of wheat not unlike rye. It is grown on poor sandy soils on the
banks of the Arno, between Leghorn and Florence, expressly for this manufacture. It does not grow above
18 inches in length, is pulled green, and bleached like flax on the gravelly bed of the river. The straws are
not 6plit as in England, which renders the plait tougher and more durable. The value of wheat-straw for
thatching, litter, and other purposes, need not be mentioned.
T. junceum grows in loose sand on the sea-coast, and by its tough creeping roots and numerous fibres co-
operates with Carex arenaria, Elymus arenarius, and Festuca rubra, in keeping them stationary, accumulating
more, and eventually rendering drifting sands fit for agricultural purposes.
T. repens, couch, white couch, twitch, dog-grass, quickens, &c. is common in most parts of Europe, and even
in Siberia. It is one of the worst weeds in arable lands and gardens, and in the former is only to be destroyed
by fallowing or fallow crops, or laying down to grass ; and the latter by hand-picking or very deep trenching.
The roots are sweet and nourishing, and are greedily eaten by horses and cattle. Sir H. Davy found them to
contain nearly three times the nourishment of the stalks and leaves.
207. Lolium. Loloa is the Celtic name of this grass. L. perenne is the fuusse ivraie (see L. temulentum) of
the French, from which our term ray-grass is dcr.ved, the Dauercndc Lolc/i, Ger., and Loglio vivacr, Ital
This appears to be the first grass which was taken into cultivation in Europe, but when is uncertain. Gerarde,
Parkinson, Plattes, and even Blythe in Cromwell's time, take no notice of it. It is first mentioned by
Dr. Plott in 1677. " They have lately sown," he says "ray-grass, Gramen loliaceum, to improve cold sour
clayey weeping ground unfit for saint-foin." It was first sown in the Chiltem parts of Oxfordshire, and after-
wards by one Eustace at Islip in the same county. There are two varieties of this grass; the perennial,
which is of shorter growth than the other, and on sound dry soils will last four or five years, and on rich soils
longer; and the annual, or rather biennial, which is tall and larger in all its parts than the perennial, and
after producing one bulky crop dies at the root, or, at least, sends up no latter math. After all that has been
affirmed of other grasses, none appear so well adapted as the annual rye grass for producing a bulky cron of
hay, with or without red clover; or better adapted than the perennial variety for sowing down with wrote
.lover, to afford three or more years pasture in the rotations of what is called convertible husbandry, or the al-
ternate corn and grass culture. Cock's-foot grass and woolly grass (Holcusl may afford a greater I ulk on poor
toils, but arc far inferior to the ray-grass in regard to nutritive qualities. Sir H. Davy found the value which

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
this grass cut at the time it is coming into flower bears to that when the seed is ripe, to be as 10 to 11. Pacey's
perennial ray-grass, a variety raised in Staffordshire, has long been in repute, and there has lately been a new
variety raised in Bedfordshire, known as the Russel ray-grass.
208. Elymus. Linnaeus derives the name from u\u», to cover, because the leaves of his Elymus maritimus
are formed into a coarse sort of fabric. The Elymus of the ancients was evidently a sort of corn. E. arenarius
is a strong rough glaucous plant common on sandy shores, and like Calamagrostis arenaria and others, which
have been mentioned (genus Lygeum, Stipa, Arundo), prevents, by its matted roots, the shifting of
loose sand thrown up by the tides. In analyzing the soluble matter afforded by this grass, Sir H. Davy found
it to contain more than one-third of its weight of sugar. It is not, however, eaten by any of our domestic ani-

.own in spring and cut in autumn. In Lapland two months, and in England nine weeks elapse between the
sowing and cutting of this grain.
Malt is the chief purpose for which barley is cultivated in Britain, but it is also made into flour, and pot
and pearl barley. In order to understand the process of malting, it may be necessary to observe, that the coty-
ledons of a seed before a young plant is produced, are changed by the heat and moisture of the earth into sugar
and mucilage. Malting is only an artificial mode of effecting this object, by steeping the grain in water, and
fermenting it in heaps, and then arresting its progress towards forming a plant by kiln drying, in order
to take advantage of the sugar in distillation for spirit, or fermentation for beer. The chemical consti-
tuents of mucilage and sugar are very nearly alike : in the process of malting a part of the mucilage or
starch is converted into sugar, so that the total quantity of sugar, and consequently the source of spirit, is in-
creased.
Of pot-barley there are two sorts, pearl and Scotch, both produced by grinding oflfthe husk, and the former
variety by carrying the operation so far as to produce roundness in the kernel. It is used in soups, gruels, and
medicinal drinks.
Barley-flour is ground like flour, and forms a light pudding or pottage, which, spread out in thin cakes and
slightly toasted, forms a breakfast bread much esteemed in some parts of Scotland. It is brought to table hot
from the baking plate, and eaten with butter and honey, or cream and sugar.
H. murinum, squirrel-tail-grass, is common by way-sides, and its awns or heads are so injurious to the gums
of horses in the isle of Thanet, that one of the greatest recommendations of an inn is having " hay without
any mixture of squirrel-grass."
H. pratense resembles rye, and to this, Professor Martyn observes, the name of rye-grass belongs, and not to
Lolium perenne, which is ray (from ivrayc, l-'r.) grass.
211. Microchloa. Erom fjux^os, small, -/Xar,, grass, on account of its size.
212. Ophiurus. A name constructed by Gartner from itfi;, a snake, and v^a, a tail, from a fancied resem-
blance in the spikes of the genus to the tail of a viper. This is the genus Rottbijllia of English botanists : but
no true species of that genus have yet been cultivated in this country.
213. Monerma. From ,iiOK><, one, and <qua, support ; there is only one glume, which by its rigidity acts as
a support to the flower.

214. Pcrotis. From srttfo?, deficient, some parts of the flower being absent.
215. Sacc/iaru?n. From its Arabic name soukar, from which the Greeks formed iraxxa?> an(^ modern European
nations sugar. Sucre, Fr. Sucker, Ger., &c This grass or reed, though unknown to the ancients, has be-
come of immense importance in modern times. There are many varieties or species both wild and cultivated,
natives of the banks of rivers and meadows in both the Indies, China, Africa, the South Sea islands, and
South America. It is cultivated in a zone extending from 35 to 40 degrees on each side of the equator.
Where it was first cultivated is unknown ; in all probability, in India, for the Venetians imported it from thence
by the Red Sea prior to 1148. It is supposed to have been introduced into the islands of Sicily, Crete, Rhodes,
and Cyprus by the Saracens, as abundance of sugar was made in these islands previously to the discovery of
the West Indies in 1492 by the Spaniards, and the East Indies and Brazil by the Portuguese in 1497 and 1500.
It was cultivated afterwards in Spain, in Valentia, Granada, and Murcia by the Moors, and sugar is still made
in these provinces. (Toumsend and Jacob.) In the 15th century the cane was introduced to the Canary islands
by the Spaniards, and to Madeira by the Portuguese, and thence to the West India islands and the Brazils.
The Dutch began to make sugar in the island of St. Thomas, under the line, in 1610, and the English in Bar-
"badoes in 1643, and in Jamaica in 1644. The culture of the cane has since become general in warm climates,
and the use of sugar being universal, it forms one of the first articles of commerce throughout the world. Su-
gar is described by Pliny and Galen as a sweet salt, and from the former it appears to have been used only in
medicine, Actuarius, a physician, who wrote in the 10th century, or later, was the first to substitute sugar
for honey in medicinal compositions. It was called Indian salt, and a small piece was recommended to be kept
in the mouth to moisten it in fevers. Different medical men have written for and against the use of sugar, as
they have against tea, coffee, wine, and all with similar success. The enjoyment derived from these articles
to all mankind who enjoy them, is too great to be left off in deference to the opinions of a few. Dr. Mosely
is the greatest advocate for sugar. For the last two centuries it has been an ingredient in the popular diet of
Europe. It was in use in England in 1466, but chiefly in feasts and as a medicine, till it was brought from the
Brazils about 1580 to Portugal, and imported from thence. The quantity consumed in Britain has always kept
increasing; the consumption of England alone in 1790 amounted to 166,573,344'bs. ; which, taking the popula-
tion at eight millions, gives each individual at an average about 20 lbs. a-yeai.
The cane, as a stove plant, is of easy culture in soft moist soil with a good heat ; it grows seven or eight feet
high, but it never flowers. It was grown in abundance in the stoves of the Paris gardens, and a small sugar
loaf was made from the canes, and presented to the Empress Josephine. In the botanic gardens of Toulon
and Naples it stands the winter in the open air.
The cane in the West Indies is propagated by cuttings from the root end, planted in hills or trenches in
spring or autumn, something in the manner of hops. The cuttings root at the joints under ground, and from
those above setid up shoots, which in eight, twelve, or fourteen months are from six to ten feet long, and fit to
cut down for the mill. A plantation lasts from six to ten years. Sugar mills are merely iron rollers placed
vertically or horizontally, between which the canes are passed and repassed. The juice thus squeezed out, is
collected and boiled with quick-lime, which being an alkali, imbibes the superfluous acid, which would other-
wise impede crystallization : impurities are skimmed off, and the boiling is continued till a thick syrup is pro-

dured, when the whole is cooled and granulated in shallow vessels. It is now the raw or Muscovado sugar of
commerce. A further purification is effected by dissolving it in water, boiling, skimming, adding lime, and
clarifying from the oily or mucilaginous parts, by adding blood or eggs, which incorporate with them and form
a scum. When boiled to a proper consistency it is put into unglazed earthen vessels of a conical shape, with a
hole at the apex, but placed in an inverted position, and the base, alter the sugar is poured in, covered with
clay. When thus drained of its impurities, it is taken out of the mould, wrapped in paper, and dried or baked
in a close oven. It is now the loaf sugar of the shops, and according to the number of operations it undergoes,
is called single or double refined. The operation of refining is seldom or never performed by the growers ; but
in Europe, at least, generally forms a separate branch in the mother country of the colony.
Sugar candy, Sliulair and k/iand, Indian names for sugar in general, is formed by dissolving loaf sugar in
water over a fire, boiling it to a syrup, and then exuosing it to crystallize in a cool place. This is the only su
gar esteemed in the east.
Barley sugar is a syrup from the refuse of sugar candy, hardened in cylindrical moulds.
Hum is distilled from the fermented juice of sugar and water.
Sugar as a chemical compound is described as a neutral salt, consisting of the acetic acid, united to a small
quantity of oil and charcoal, carbonated hydrogen, and carbonic acid gas. Besides its use in medicine, diete-
tics, and distillation, it is employed to preserve animal and vegetable substances from putrefaction, and to com-
municate a gloss to ink, varnishes, and pigments. When very cheap, it has been successfully employed to fatten
cattle. Most plants contain sugar, and it has been extracted in considerable quantities from the beet, parsnip,
maple, birch, grape, &c, but the cane is preferred as affording it in greater abundance.
216. Impcrata. The derivation or application of the idea not explained. The plants resemble in their noble
port and waving silky heads the plumes of a cap of state.
217. l.eersia. Named after J. D. Leers, an author of the Flora Herbornensis, the first edition of which, in 178P,
is very valuable on account of its rarity : but its merits have been extolled much beyond reality by Sir James
Smitji. One species, L. lenticularis, which has not yet been introduced to this country, has" the power of
catching Hies by the singular structure of its corolla, which resembles the leaves of Diontea muscipula.
218. Diarrhena. A word signifying diandrous ; dis, two, atimv, male.
219. Ariuuiinaria. An alteration of the word Arundo, to which genus this maybe compared with reference
to its \:\X'e size.
220. Holoslcum. A name derived from oXs;, all, and mrr-oi, bone, all bone, and applied by antiphrasis to
this plant, which is no-bonc, being very soft and delicate. The plant is very common in many parts of Britain,
by road sides, where protected by hedges ; it flowers early in the season, and keeps flowering for a long time.
In coppice woods on loamy soils it grows with the greatest luxuriance, and, along with the yellow primrose, and
the purple wild hyacinth, forms a most ornamental clothing to the earth in the end of April and beginning of
May.
221. Polycarpon. From sr«Xuf, many, xttfTot, fruit; all-seed ; one of the names applied bj the ancients to
the Polygonum aviculare, and sufficiently applicable to this plant
232. Lechea. In memory of G Lechen, a Swede, professor of natural history at Abo, and author of observ-
ations on rare plants ; died in 1764. The genus consists of small N. American plants of no beauty.

Class IV. — TETRANDRIA. 4 Stamens.
This class is neither so large nor so important as the last. It is composed chiefly of ornamental or curious
plants, mostly shrubs, of which the Proteaceas hold the first rank. Among the few plants used in the arts
which it contains, may be mentioned the madder (Rubia), Fuller's thistle (Dipsacus), the holly (Ilex), one of
the best evergreen hedge plants ; and some foreign timbers and dyes, as the sandal-wood and chayroot
The Proteacea?, of which the first section of the class partly consists, are natives chiefly of the Cape of Good
Hope and New South Wales ; and there is this singular circumstance connected with their geographical dis-
tribution, that those two continents do not possess any one genus in common ; a singular fact, and of the more
difficult solution, as the genera of the order are strictly natural. They have been described by Mr. Brown, in a
long and learned memoir, in the Transactions of the Linnean Society, vo'/. x., where much information respect-
ing them may be found. It has been impossible to state the natural height or color of flower of many of the
New Holland kinds, as Mr. Brown says nothing upon these two points ; and he is the only author who has seen
the plants in their native country, where alone many of them have flowered. In the conservatory they are
mostly shrubs of from four to seven feet in height.
The principal part of the fourth section of Monogynia consists of the Stellata? or Crossworts, which are com-
mon weeds all over Europe.
Many of the genera in the sfxth section, such as Ixora, Pavetta, Catesbjea, are beautiful ornaments of the
conservatory. The wood of Curtisia in the seventh section furnishes the Cafl'res with materials for the shafts
of their hassagays.
With the exception of Proteacea;, the class is made up of a miscellaneous assemblage of species, with few
characters in common. The genera have not been combined in any other than a purely artificial manner, and
among them are to be found plants belonging to almost all the natural orders of Dicotyledonous plants of the
older French botanists. Pothos, Potamogeton, and Ruppia are among the rare instances of a quaternary divi-
sion of the flower in Monocotyledonous plants.

and Miscellaneous Particulars.
to let them droop for want of water, as the young roots are of a very fleshy substance, and soon suffer by too
much drought, as well as by too much wet, so that they seldom recover if suffered to flag much ; they also like
to be placed where they may have a free circulation of air, as they cannot bear to be crowded like some more
rigid-growing plants. Ripened cuttings taken oft" at a joint, and pared quite smooth, will strike root if planted
thinly in pots of sand placed under a hand-glass, but not plunged : the glasses must be often taken off' to give
them air, as they are very liable to get the damp amongst them, which soon spreads if not cleaned off", and de-
stroys them ; water them regularly whenever they want it, but not over the leaves, and let them get a little
dry nefore the glasses are placed over them again. Some of the kinds root very soon, others are a long time
before they root The quickest rooting kinds 1 have met with are P. cordata, cynaroides, amplexicaulis, gran-
diflora, acerosa, nana, and acaulis. P. mellifcra also roots very quickly sometimes. The same treatment will
agree with several other genera belonging to this family, as Leucospermum, Spatalla, Soroccphalus, Ix;uca-
dendron, and Aulax. (See Hot. Mag. No. 1717. Bot. Cult. 244.) There are several kinds in cultivation, and
published in Knight * Protecae, which have not been retained here ; because, as they are not acknowledged by
Mr. R. Brown, it is | robable that they arc not distinct from some Which are here enumerated."

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2?r Lcucosptrmuvi. From /.tuxo;, white, and my/M., seed, in allusion to the color of the seeds. The genus
is chiefly composed ot low shrubs, which are usually downy or hairy. Leaves entire, or with callous teeth at
the end. Heads terminal. Flowers yellow. The culture as for Protea.
23). Minnies. Named by Mr. Salisbury from ujfx.r,T<,,?, a mimic, because it resembles various other genera.
1 he sod lor this genus is two-thirds of light loam, and one third of sand. In other respects the treatment is
the same as tor lsopogon.
234. Scrruria. Named by Burmannus after Professor Joseph Strruricr, a foreign botanist, of whom little is
known. I he species flower freely, and make handsome bushy shrubs. The soil best adanted to them is onc-
tlurd light loam, a third of i>eat, and a third of sand, with well drained ;>ots. " They also require an airy situ-
ation, as they are so crowded with !ea"es that the branches are liable Ui damp and' tanker if any wet settles

Plantarum and other esteemed works : he is still living, and about to publish a new edition of his most useful
Synopsis.
239. Grevillea. So named by Mr. R. Brown, after the Right Honorable Charles Francis Greville, a great
promoter of natural history. He was one of the vice-presidents of the Royal Society. Some species ri|>en
abundance of seeds ; all of them thrive in an equal mixture of sandy loam and peat, and strike roots freely in
sand under a hand-glass.

246. Rkopala. The vernacular name of one of the species found in Guiana is Roupala. The species seldom
flower, and are remarkable more for the beauty of their foliage than blossoms, which are disposed in long spikes
usually of a greenish color. ° r '
247. Banksia. So named by I.innsus, in honor of Sir Joseph Banks, Bart., Pres. R. S., a distinguished pro-
moter of the study of natural history, and of science in general : he died in 1820. This is an elegant genus and
to be grown well requires a soil composed of equal parts of peat, loam, and sand. The pots must be' well
drained ; and the following is the mode recommended by Sweet : " Place a piece of potsherd about halfway
over the hole at the bottom of the pot, then lay another piece against it that it may be hollow, afterwards put
some smaller pieces all round them, and some more, broken verv small, on the top of these All plants belong
ing to the Proteacea; should be drained in the same manner, as the roots are very fond of running amongst the
broken potsherds ; and there is not so much danger of their being overwatered : care must be taken not to let
them flag for want of water, as they seldom recover if allowed to get verv dry ; they should also be placed in an
airy part of the green-house when in doors, as nothing is more beneficial to them than a free circulation of air
Cuttings are generally supposed to be difficult to root, but they will root readilv if properly managed • let them
be well ripened before they are taken off; then cut them off at a joint, and plant them in pots of sand without
shortening any of the leaves, except on the part that is planted in the sand, where thev should be taken ofl
quite close ; the less depth they are planted in the pots the better, if they onlv stand firm "when the sand is well
closed round them ; then place thein under hand-glasses in the propagnting house, but not plunge them in

when they are rooted, the sooner they are potted off in little pots the better, as the sand is liable to canker their
roots if left too long in it ; when potted off, they should be placed in a close frame, but not on heat, as a bottom

should lie sown in the same kind of soil as the plants are grown in, and placed in the greenhouse ; or if it is
in summer they will come up sooner if placed out in the 0]>en air ; they will soon make their appearance, when
they should be potted off in small pots, for if left in the seed pots too long they are apt to die, and arc n.oie
difficult to move with safety." [Bat. Cult. 147.)
848, Dii/niitlia. Was named by Mr. K. Brown after the famous Jonas Dryander, whose catalogue of the
Banksian library would alone be a monument of talent and industry, if his high botanical acquirements had
been unknown. This genus is allied in character and habits to B.iiiksia. It thrives best in very sandy loam
and peat in well drained pots. Cuttings made from rqicned wood taken off at a joint before they begin to push,
planted in sand without shortening any of the leaves, and covered with a glass, will root without difficulty. The
pots should not l>e plunged, and a* soon as the cuttings are rooted they must be potted off as the sand is apt to
injure their roots. Place them afterwards in a close frame or under hand-glasses till they strike root afresh,
and then harden them by degrees Sip, ,7

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
sparrow or other small bird. The species are aU slender, hardy, green-house plants, of pretty appearance, and
easy cultivation. J ' r
250. Opercularia. From operculum, a lid, in allusion to the manner in which the calyx is closed. Plants of
no beauty.
251. Cryittoxpennum. From 2{kt™, to conceal, and o-t-S/j.*, seed. The seeds, or rather seed-vessels, are
hidden in theinvolucrum. Weeds of some tropical countries.
252. Pothos. From potha, the native name of this plant in Ceylon. Most of the species are sub-parasitic, and
found climbing, like ivy, on the trunks of trees in the West Indies and America. In our stoves most of the
species will thrive planted in old bark and moss, and plunged in heat. P. palmata has leaves upwards of three
feet long, with a foot-stalk nearly four feet long, palmate, as thick as strong parchment, smooth, with a midrib
of a deep green above, and the fructification on spikes more than a foot in length. The species are cultivated
for the sake of their foliage, which is always of an agreeable green color, and not liable to discoloration by damp
or other accidents of a hot-house.
2"3. Rivina. In memory of A. Q. Rivinus, a native of Saxonv, born in 1652, and died in 1722. He was for
a long time professor of botany and medicine at Leipsig, and left behind him some valuable botanical works ■ and
among them a very ingenious attempt at a classification of plants by the corolla ; from which some modern bo-
tanists have profited more than they have acknowledged. The name, as Linnams observes, with his usual
neatness, has been given to a shrub always covered with leaves and fruits, in allusion to the merit of the works
of Rivinus. R. octandra, the Hoop-wi»hy of Jamaica, and liane <i baril of Martinique, has a very long tough
flexile stalk an inch or more in diameter, and sometimes made into hoops in the West Indies. Thcbcrric;con.

stitute the principal part eft he food of the American thrush or nightingale ; they contain a very oily seed, and
after the bird has swallowed manv of them he frequently flies to the next bird-pepper bush (Capsicum), and
picks a few pods : instinct directing him to what is necessary to promote the digestion of that oleaginous heavy food.
2"4. Camphorosma. Barbarously named from two words, the one I/atin (camphora), and the other Greek
{o<ru.r,\ signifying a smell of camphor. The plant abounds with a volatile oily salt, and is warm and stimulat-
'ng ; but its appearance has nothing to recommend it
255, Alchcmilla. Named, as Linnaeus asserts, from its supposed atchymical purposes ; but, as others main-
tain, from its Arabic appellation alktmelyeh. [J. de Souza, p. 52.) A. vulgaris is eaten readily by horses, sheep,
and goats, and is considered a good herbage-plant where it abounds in upland pastures. A. alpina is an elegant
■peries, common on many of the Highland mountains, and supposed by Lightfont and others to aid consider-
ably in giving the peculiarly excellent flavor to Highland mutton. A. aphanes is a worthless wced.
'.'."xi. Sangustorba. From sanguis, blood, and soroere, to absorb. The plant has passed for an excellent vulne-
rary. This genus greatlv resembles Pntcrium {Monoccia Poli/an.), and Professor Martyn observes, that it is
certainly a defect in the Linnxan system that two genera so similar in habit should be placed so far apart. It
tnust be considered, however, that the object of the Linnsaan system was less to brin ; plants together
according to all their relative qualities, than to associate them according to one quality, which might serve as
an index by which to ascertain their names.
257. Dirslenia, In memr.r/ of Theodore Dorsten, a German, author of a work entitled Beta n con, printed
in 1740. lis flowers, says Ltnnsras, are like the works of Dorsten, tiny have little to recommend Hum. I he

raising the nap upon woollen cloths, by means of the crooked awns or charts upon the heads, which in the wild
Teasel are not hooked. For this purpose they arc fixed round the circumference of a large broad wheel, which
is made to turn round, and the cloth is held against them. The seeds are sown in March, on well prepared
strong clayey loam, broad-cast, and at the rate of one peck to the acre. They are hoed, like turnips, to a foot
distance; and the second year, in August, the heads are fit to cut. They are sold by the bundle or stave,
twenty-rive in each, and the ordinary produce is 160 staves per acre. In Essex, carraway is often sown along
with teasel, and the second year after the latter is pulled, the former is mown or reaped. {Young's Annals,
vol. xxi. p 5.1.)

2iH. Scabiosa. From scabies, leprosy. The sudorific qualities of this plant are said to be useful in cutaneous
diseases. This is a vigorous-growuij.' course-looking genus. S. succisa is one of the few examples of radix pr.-r-
morsj or bitlen-olf root ; an appearance, as Keith states, owing to the point or top of the seminal root

not known, but is vulgarly accounted for by ascribing it to a bite from the devil. The same appearance is
found in Plantago, Trifolium, and some other plants with subfusiform roots. A decoction of S. succisa is an
empirical specific for the gonorrhoea.
S. atropurpurea is the handsomest species, and is cultivated as a border annual and biennial It has been so
long in cultivation that its native country is unknown. Linnaeus and Miller consider it as a native of India ;
Professor Martyn of the south of Europe.
265. Knautia. So named by Linnaeus in honor of Christopher Knaut, physician at Halle in Saxony : born
in 1636 ; died in 1694. Another Knaut (Christian) published a system of plants in 1706, which has nothing to
recommend it
266. Galium. Derived from yaXa., milk ; because one sort is used for the purpose of curding milk. This is
a very natural genus ; the root* of most of the sorts dye red, and the herb, like madder, colors the hones of ani-
mals that feed on it The sterna of all the species arc four-cornered, and the leaves in whorls ; the flowers ki>

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
an ingredient in spring-broth. The expressed juice of the herb, taken to the amount of four ounces or a quar-
ter of a oint night and morning, during several weeks, is very efficacious in removing many of those cutaneous
eruptions, which are called, though improi>erly, scorbutic. The seeds have been substituted for coffee The
roots, like those of most of the species, will dye red ; and, eaten by birds, tinge their bones ofthat color. It is
a very troublesome weed, particularly in young hedges, but being an annual is easily eradicated.
G. tuberosum is cultivated in China for the roots, which are eaten boiled, either whole or in meal, and Lou-
reiro says, arc esteemed salubrious. It has not vet been introduced.
SB7. liubit. From ruber, red. R. tinctorum'has an annual stalk, which trails or climbs, supporting itself
ill the latter case by its leaves and prickles. Its root is composed of manv long thick succulent shoots nearly
half an inch in diameter, striking deep into the ground, and growing to the length of three or four feet. From
them is procured a well-known red and scarlet dye used bv clothiers and callico-printers, and cmploved to a
great extent, though chiefly from foreign roots. England was formerly supplied with this article exclusively
from Holland, and as in times of political derangement the price was greatlv increased, its dearness induced some
patriotic individuals, who had recently set on foot the Society of Arts,' to attempt its culture in England
Miller paid great attention to the subject about 1758, publishing separately, as well as in his Dictionary, the
Dutch practice as observed by him while in Holland. A. Young, in his '• Annals," details several trials ; the
result ot which, and especially those of J. Arbuthnot in 1765, proves, that it could be grown here to as great
perfection as m Holland but not sold at so low a price. Its culture was not therefore encouraged, and we
are now supplied from Holland, France, Italy, and Turkey, and the cochineal is very generally in use as a
substitute Like others of the natural order of Pubiacea;. madder tinges with a florid red color the milk
urine, and bones of the animals that feed on the plant. The hardest part of the bones receives the color"
first, which gradually extends through the whole substance ; but if the plant be alternately given and inter-

mitted, the bones are found to be colored in concentric circles. In medicine, madder was formerly used in
complaints of the kidnies.
To cultivate the madder, choose a deep sandy loam, and prepare it bv trenching or very deep ploughing.
Plant cuttings of the roots in rows, eighteen inches by one foot in the row, in March, and the third year they
may be taken up in September. The roots are next kiln-dried, and afterwards threshed to clean them from
earth and dust. They are then dried a second time, and immediately afterwards pounded or stamped in a mill.
It is cultivated extensively in Zealand, and especially in the isle of Schowen : round Avignon and in Lombardy
it is grown on narrow ridges, and irrigated by directing water along the furrows.
268. Asperula. From asper, rough. The sjiecies cynanchica is so called from xvyetyx'-iv, to choak, it being a

rowel, the whorls of leaves, according to Turner, representing certain kinds of '« rowelles of sporres." All the
species, excepting arvensis and cynanchica, will thrive in the shade and drip of trees in a moist soil. A. odorata
has a pleasant scent like Anthoxanthum : it imparts a grateful flavor to wine, an agreeable perfume to clothes,
and preserves them from insects. It is eaten by cattle and horses, and from containing an acid principle, with
much fixed alkaline salt, has been thought useful in obstructions of the liver and biliary ducts. The roots of
A. tinctoria arc used in Gothland to dye wool a red color.
269. Sherardia. So named in honor of the famous Sherard, of whose noble garden at Eltham Dillcnius's
Hortus Elthamensis is a living monument, and whose herbarium is still one of the few things which recom-
mend Oxford to the notice of a botanist. This is a little insignificant weed, by no means worthy to lie conse-
crated to the memory of so celebrated a man.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
271. Crucianella. A diminutive of crux, a cross; some of the roots having their leaves in whorls of four
These are small herbaceous plants of little beauty, natives of the south of France, and rarely seen in this
country except in botanic gardens.
272. CaJlicarpa. From xaXos, beautiful, and «*<«, fruit. Its berries are of a bright purple color.
273. IVUheringia. In honor of Dr. W. Withering, the author of a classification of English plants, which has
been one of the most popular of our English botanical works, and deservedly so, although it has now yielded to
others of a more modern character.
274. jEgiphila. From cul myos, a goat, and <pi\t>s, friend, beloved by goats. In Martinique the plant is called
Bois de Cabri.
27.5. CepJialanthus. From zitpaXvi, a head, and avBos, a flower ; because the flowers grow in heads. This is a
low evergreen shrub, with large light green leaves, and the flowers in spherical heads, about the size of a
musket bullet. It has a good effect on lawns in scattered groups, or in the front ranks of shrubberies. Sweet
savs, " soil that has some peat in it suits them best," and that they are readily propagated hv laver», or
ripened cuttings under a hand-glass. Miller, in whose time the art of striking cuttings was not nearly so well
understood as at present, recommends a moist light soil, and propagating from seeds.

276 Sarparia. From scopa, a broom. In the Antilles brooms are made of the twigs. This plant is treateo
as a tender annual, and after being raised In the hot-house or hot-bed, is potted off; and kept in the grcen-
i ouae, or planted out in the flower borders.
277. CentunciUus. A name given by the Romans to a small plant found in cultivated lands. The present is
a little mean weed of no use or beauty.
S7& Plantngo. A name of which no satisfactory explanation has been given. Of the species, Psyllium is de-
rived from -l-j>.>.9( , a flea, in allusion to the appearance of its little seeds. Lagopus, from >.etyot, a hare, and tbj ,
foot ; its velvety or silky spike resembling the foot of such an animal Coronopus, from 2!»»r, a crow, and t«,
foot ; its deeply-cut leaf having been compared to a bird's foot. Cynops, signifying dog's-eye, is toe name of a
plant of Pliny, and one of his plantains. This is a genus of little beauty, and no great utility. Like all other
plants known to our botanical forefathers, they were said to have their medical virtues ; biit that is nothing,
or at least but little guide to their absolute use in the arts. P. lanceolata rib-grass has been employed i» agri.
culture as a herbage plant, but to which it appears to have no great claim. Where it abounds naturally, it is
a certain indication of a dry soil. Haller attributes the richness of the milk in the alpine dairies to this jilant
and Alchemilla vulgaris, but Linnaeus says cows refuse it. This every shepherd knows to be the case as far as

respects the flower-stalks. Zappa of Milan, and A. Young, speak in high terms of it ; but the general feeling
and practice ot scientific agriculturists is against it, and it is now seldom sown.
P. major is a native or most parts of Europe and of Japan, and always by way-sides, whence its name of way-
bread or way-bred. 1 he seeds afford food to linnets, finches, and other small birds, and the leaves are a com-
mon application to wounds and cutaneous sores. An American negro once received a reward from an assembly
of South i arohna for a cure for the bite of the rattle-snake ; and in the receipt, it is said by VVoodville (Med
Rot.), plantain was a principal ingredient. There are several varieties of this species to be met with in rich
pastures and in botanic gardens, such as the rose P., in which the flower appears changed into a tuft of leaves
expanded like a rose, and the bosom P., in which the spike-leaves are imbricate and pyramidal
P. maritima varies in size and situation more than most plants. Its leaves are sometimes scarcely an inch,
and at other times more than a foot in length ; and the number of flowers in the spike varies extremely. Like
Statice armeria and Sambucus nigra, it is found on the summits of the highest mountains, in the clefts of rocks,
on the sea-shore, in salt marshes, and muddy banks.
P. coronopus is a singular-growing plant, with recumbent stems pressing closely on the ground. The leaves
have a very peculiar flavor, and are rather disagreeable, but were formerly used in salads. P psyllium is
sometimes imported from the south of France in a dried state for the druggists.
"i\Bt!?idle'\- In nonor of Adam Buddie, a name well known to the English botanist as authority for many
rare British plants. B. globosa is a very handsome shrub, and though rather tender, flowers freely in warm
situations, or against a wall, with protection in very severe winters. Its leaves are long, narrow, pointed,

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
Paris. B. triphylla is a beautifu', and not very tender plant, which flowers great part of the year ; var. /3 has
smooth shining leaves, and flowers of a deeper scarlet than the other. B. versicolor requires the warmest part
of the green-house, and the cuttings require bottom heat, with the same soil as the plants.
288. Ixora. A name of doubtful origir. Iswara is the name of an Indian divinity. According to Sweet,
the species of this beautiful genus " require to be kept in a moist heat to thrive well ; but not plunged in tan,
as that is almost certain to injure their roots. A mixture of sandy loam and peat is the best soil for them.
Care must be taken to keep them clean and free from insects, or they will not thrive. Cuttings root very
freely in sand under a hand-glass.
289. Catesbcea. So named by Gronovius, in honor of Mark Catesby, author of the natural history of Caro-
lina, &c. who discovered the first species of this genus. It is very ornamental. C. spinosa has flowers about
six inches long, in the form of a Roman trumpet, and succeeded by fruit the size of a pullet's egg ; the skin
smooth and yellow, and the pulp like that of a ripe apple, with an agreeable taste. It does not flower very
freely, but strikes root readily in sand under a bell-glass, and in moist heat.
290. Pavetta. The name of the plant in Malabar. A small genus nearly related to Ixora, with flowers usu-
ally white, as those of Ixora are red.
291. Ernodea. From ipyuir.f, branching, in allusion to the habit of the plant.
292. Siderodendrum. From tritr^o;, iron, and hv^ov, a tree. Wood, compared for hardness to iron. This
tree may be noticed on account of an anomaly which occurs in the corolla, which is often changed, perhaps by
some insect, into an oblong bag, half an inch in length, fleshy, and hollow within, and ending in a point at top
like a fruit. Cuttings of ripened wood root in sand under a hand-glass.
293. Coccocypsilum. From xoxxo;, fruit, and y.v\%Ky„ a vase, its berry being surmounted by a corona resem-
bling a little cup. Cuttings root freely in sand under a bell-glass.
2S4. Mitchella. Named after John Mitchell, an Englishman, who travelled in Virginia, and left some papers
upon North American plants behind him. This is one of those plants which Humboldt (De D'strib, Plant. ) falls

social, being always found in quantities. Barton says, it is the plant most extensively spread in North Ame-
rica, covering the surface from the 2Mb to the 69th degree of north latitude.
295. Oldenlandia. In honor of H. B. Oldenland, a Dutch naturalist, who travelled in Africa, where he died
about the end of the 17th century. (J. umbellata, the chay-root, grows on light sandy ground near the sea,
and is much cultivated on the coast of Coromandel for dyeing red, purple, brown, and orange, anil to paint
the red figures on chintz. The coloring matter resides in the bark, which gives it out to water. The
Malabar physicians say that the roots cure poisonous bites, colds, and cutaneous disorders, and warm the con-
stitution.
296. Manetlia. In honor of Xavier Manet ti, an Italian, and professor of botany at Florence. Some of the
species arc rather pretty, but they are seldom seen in collections
297. Epimedium. A name of Dioscorides, applied to this little elegant alpine plant, without any assignable
reason.
298. Plelea. The Greek name of the elm. It is derived from o-ra*, to fly, in allusion to the winged seed-
vessels. A hardy shrub of North America, not unlike a laburnum in foliage, but with small green flowers.
2<> '. Monetia. So named by L'Heritier, in honor of the Chevalier Jean Baptiste Monet de la Marck, a cele-
brated French botanist, now dead ; who, unfortunately for botany, many years ago diverted his attention from
that science to conchology. Cuttings root in sand under a bell-glass, and in bottom heat.
300. Curtisia. Named in honor of W. Curtis, lecturer on l>otany, author of the Botanical Magazine and
other works; he died in 1799. This is one of the largest trees of' Africa, from which the Hottentots and
Cadres make the shafts of their javelins. It has fine broad leaves, but small flowers, which, however, have not
yet appeared in this country.
301. llartaiia Named after John Hartog, a Dutchman, who travelled in Southern Africa and Ceylon.
The plant called by this name in the gardens is probably only a variety of the common laurel, and nearly
as hardy an it The flowers grow in axillary racemes like bunches of currants.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
SCfi Ammunnia. Named in nonor of John Ammann, a native of Siberia, who was aphysician and professor
of botany at St. Petersburg. He published a work upon the plants of Finland, and some papers in the Transac-
tions of the Academy at St. Petersburg. None of the species have any beauty. They may be treated like balsams
and other tender annuals.
303. Fagara. The name of an aromatic plant mentioned by Avicenna. lhe foliage of the present plant bas
a strong smell of turpentine. Cuttings root readily in sand under a hand-glass.
304. Zk-ria. So called by Sir J. E. Smith, in honor of his friend Mr. Zier, of whom nothing more is known
than that he was " a learned and industrious botanist." The species is a pretty greenhouse plant.
305. Cissus. The Greek name of the ivy. The Latin name hedera having been retained for the real plant ;
the Greek word was given to this genus, which climbs like the ivy. The species greatly resemble Vitis in ge-
neric character. None of them are ornamental, with the exception of C. quinquefolia, justly admired for its
quinquetid leaves, and the different tints of yellow, red, and purple which these take in autumn. It grows ra-
pidly in any soil, and is well adapted for covering naked walls, decorating old unsightly elevations of houses,
ruins, cottages, bowers, kc. All the species root freely by cuttings in any sod.
306. Cornns. From cornu, a horn : the wood being thought to be as hard and durable as horn. Its value as
a material for warlike instruments has been celebrated by Virgil —Rcwi brl/o cornns. The larger species of this
genus are very ornamental and hardy shrubs, not only from their f.ower and berries of different colors, but by
their green, red, purple, or striped barks, which have a fine effect in winter, especially among evergreens.
C. florida blossoms early, but does not bear berries in this country. C. mascula, the Cormier of old authors,
blossoms still earlier, and bears handsome fruit, which were formerly made into tarts and rob <le cornm • the
wood is very hard; and Evelyn says, made into wedges, it will last like iron. C, sanguinea, alba, and sericca,

have fine red twigs; the wood of the first is equal to that of the cornel for hardness, and makes excellent mill
cogs, bobbins for lace, toothpicks, and butchers' skewers. An oil may be extracted from the berries, by boil-
ing and pressing. C. sericea from its large leaves, whitish underneath, and its terminating branches of white
flowers, is valuable for the shrubbery or lawn. All the species may be propagated by seeds, knurs, suckers, or
cuttings ; the second is the most common mode.
C. sanguinea is very common in woods, and after a smothered combustion, affords a charcoal esteemed the
best for entering into the composition of gunpowder. It grows in the shade and drip of other trees, and is
therefore a valuable plant for thickening strips of plantations which have become naked below.
C. suecica is called by the Highlanders Lus-a-chrasis, or plant of gluttony, from its berries, which are eaten by
the children, being supposed to create an appetite. This plant is difficult to preserve in gardens: a bed of peat
in a shady situation, and kept moist, is the most suitable for it ; or it may be planted in small |>ots of peat, and
treated as an alpine.
307. Santalum. From its Persian name Sundul-sufed It is a low tree in habits ; leaves and inflorescence
a good deal resembling the privet It produces the white and yellow sandal wood of the materia medica,
formerly thought to be the produce of different trees. But in India, as in a certain degree in every other
country, most trees when large and old,. become colored towards the centre, and when the sandal tree hpQQTnpS
large, its centre acquires a yellow color, and great fragrance and hardness ; n bile the exterior part of the same
tree that covers the colored part is less firm, white, and without fragrance. It is only the yellow- part that is in
use, being in universal esteem for its fragrance. According to Wat hen Vog. to China, 1812, p. 116.), it sells so
high that the tree is seldom allowed to grow more than a foot in diameter. It is manufactured into musical
instruments, small cabinets, escrutoires, boxes, and similar articles, as no insect can exist, or iron rust (as it u

said) within its influence. It is of the dust of this wood that the Bramins form the pigment which they use
in giving the tilac or frontal mark to the God Vishnoo : and the oil used in their ceremonies is obtained from
the shavings, or at least scented by them. Cuttings root readily in a pot of sand under a bell-glass.
The true sandal wood is the Santalum album, found chiefly on the coast of Malabar, and in the Indian
Archipelago.
Santalum myrtifolium, which has been confounded with it, is the kind which grows upon the Circar moun-
tains, tne wood of which is of little value. An amusing specimen of German critical puzzling upon this sub-
ject may be seen in Messrs. Romer and Schultes, Species Plantarum, voL iii. p. 328.
308. Trapa. Abridged from calcitrapa, the Latin name of a dangerous instrument called caltrops, furnished
with four spines, which was formerly used in war to impede the progress of cavalry. The fruit of this plant is
hard, and has four spines also. T. natans is a curious aquatic, with long brown and green roots and floating
leaves, with petioles inflated into a tumour, as in the marine algae. The seed i« larger than the kernel of the
filbert, with two cotyledons, one large, and the other very small, and not increasing in size during the germin-
ation. Hence, Gartner considers this plant like the Nelumbium, as in a sort of middle state between the mo-
nocotyledoneaB and dicotyledoneas. The nuts are farinaceous, and are esteemed nourishing and pectoral. The
skin with the spines being removed, there is a white sweet kernel within, somewhat like a chestnut They
are sold in the market at Venice under the name of Jesuits' nuts. They are also much eaten in Switzerland
and the south of France. Some of the canals at Versailles are covered with the plant ; and Neili informs us
(Hort. Tour.), that the nuts are sometimes served up like chestnuts. Pliny says that the Thracians made them
into bread ; and Thunberg states that they (the seed of Trapa bicornis) are commonly put into broth in Japan.
In this country the plant is generally kept in a cistern in the stove, and so treated, was fruited by A. B. Lam-
bert, Esq. in 1815, and specimens of the fruit sent to the Horticultural Society.
T. bicornis is cultivated by the Chinese in marshes ; and the nuts used as food.
309. Lwiwigia. So named by Linnaeus, in honor of C. G. Ludwig, professor of botany at Leipsic, in the mid-
dle of the last century. He left behind him several works which are now almost forgotten. The species nre of
no beauty.
310. Cuscuta. This is a genus of parasitical plants, which fasten themselves to, and draw their nourishment
from others. The seed does not split into lobes, but opens and puts forth a little spiral body, which is the em-

bryo. The stalk twines about some other plant, contrary to the sun's apparent motion, or from right to left,
sending out from the inner surface a number of little vesicles which attach themselves to the bark of the sup-
porting plant By degrees, the longitudinal vessels of the stalk shoot from their extremities, and insinuate
themselves so intimately with it, that it is easier to break than to disengage them. Plants raised from seed
soon die when they have no plant to which they can- attach themselves. They adhere to the ground by the
original root, and draw a part of their nutriment from thence at first ; but the original root withers away as
soon as the young stem has fixed itself to any other plant.
C. euroua-a may be sown in peat soil by the sides of other plants ; in a wild state it is commonly found in
hedges, and on hops, brambles, woody nightshade, feni, thistles, hemp ; as also on flax, nettles, clover,
grass, Sec
C. epithymum will thrive well on any small shrub when once it has got hold. According to Sweet, " it will

of that illustrious naturalist.
.>!-'. Hamamelis. From iiu,«' th, and iri|?litr. an apple, from the fruit and flowers being on the tree at
the same time. This is a low tree or shrub, in general appearance resembling the hazel ; but it has fine yellow
blossoms, which appear in profusion in October or November, and sometimes last till spring. The fruit, which
is a small nut, seldom lipem in England.
313. Hupecoum. From itr^xiu, to rattle, on account of the noise the seeds make in the pods. It is not
impossible that Hypecouin procumbens is the Hypecoon of Pliny : the wild cumin of Gerarde. The juice of
all the species is yellow, like that of celandine, and is said to have the same effect as opium.
314. ilyginda. So named by Jacquin, in honor of Counsellor Mygind of Vienna ; a botanical amateur and
patron. A tree resembling some kind of Ilex.
315. Ilex. A word upon which much ingenuity and learning have been tortured in vain. DeTheis derives
it from ec, or ac, a point, in Celtic; but that explanation applies better to the specific name Aquil'oliuux

China, &c. In Britain, it is found congregated in natural woods and forests. Some of the finest in England,
are in Medwood forest, in Staffordshire, and in Scotland, in the woods of Dumbartonshire, about Luss and
Lochlomond. Professor Martyn's father first discovered the difference of sexes in the holly ; some being male,
others female, and others hermaphrodite. It is a tree of great longevity, and will grow in any soil not very
wet, but best in a dry deep loam ; such is the soil of Medwood forest. By culture alone, a hundred varieties
and subvarieties have been produced, differing in the variegation, margin, and size of the leaves, and in the
color of the fruit. These make gay and elegant shrubs for lawns and small groups; and form an important
feature in the general shrubbery. The common green prickly-leaved holly makes the best of all hedges,
whether we regard its qualities for defence, shelter, duration, or beauty. It has one fault, it is very slow of
growth unless carefully cultivated, and for this reason hawthorn is preferred. It was a very general custom
about the end of the 17th century to divide gardens by hedges of this tree, and to keep them exactly shorn.
Evelyn's impenetrable holly hedge at Deptford has been much celebrated. It was 400 feet long, 9 feet high,
and 5 feet broad. Gibson, (Archceologia Brit. S/c.) who mentions Evelyn's hedge, made a tour of the principal
gardens near London, and states, as next in grandeur, that of Sir M. Decker at Richmond: of neither does
there exist a single plant The largest holly hedge in Scotland is at Tynningham near Dunbar, planted by a
former Earl of Haddington, author of a Treatise on Fruit Trees. It has for many years past been left uncut, and
now presents a noble phalanx of deep shining green leaves, and numerous spiry tops with spikes of coral berries.
In cultivating the holly, the kernel or stone of the berries is divested of its skin and glutinous pulp, by mixing
with sand in heaps in the open garden, and turning over frequently. The berries being gathered in November,
may be rotted in this way till the October following, and then sown in beds, and covered three quarters of an
inch with fine mould ; or they may remain on the trees till spring, then gathered and mashed in a tub of
water to separate the pulp, after which they may be sown. In general, the stones do not vegetate till the
second year from the gathering ; some will occasionally germinate the first year, and a number not till the
third. In transplanting and pruning the holly, the months of October and April are to be chosen : the oftener
young plants are removed before planted in the final site the better, as it has naturally but few roots, and those
chiefly ramose and descending. Miller recommends cutting holly hedges with a knife, as clipping renders them
unsightly. The variegated and other curious sorts are generally propagated by budding and grafting on the
common green. Evelyn says he raised some of the variegated sorts by sowing the seeds, and Miller always
found the hedgehog variety continue the same when so propagated. Some raise them by layers, and Sweet
says all of them " will root freely by cuttings taken off at a joint in ripened wood, and planted in sand under a
hand-glass in a shady situation."

I. cassine and vomitoria have bitter leaves, of which the N. American Indians make a tea, which is almost
their only physic. At a certain time of the year they come down in droves from a distance of some hundred
miles, to the coast, for the leaves of this tree, which is not known to grow at any considerable distance from
the sea. They make a fire on the ground, and putting a great kettle of water on it, they throw in a large
quantity of these leaves, and setting themselves round the fire, from a bowl that holds about a pint they begin
drinking large draughts, which in a very short time occasion them to vomit easily and freely : thus they con-
tinue drinking and vomiting for the space of two or three days, until they have sufficiently cleansed them-
selves ; and then every one taking a bundle of the tree to carry away with him, they all retire to their
habitations.
91ft Culiltnia. So named by Linna?us, in honor of Cadwallader Colden, an English naturalist, who published
in 174'-', an account of the plants of New York.
117. Potamogeton. From xoto.iju>s, a river, and yurot, near. Most of the species grow wholly immersed in
water, but iiKe most aquatics, flower above its surface. It should seem, Professor Martyn observes, that the
respiration of such truly-aquatic vegetables must be as different from those which inhale atmospheric air, as
the breathing of fishes is from that of l>easts and birds. Accordingly, they are, as Ilaller remarks, of a different
texture, pellucid, like oiled paper, very vascular, harsh, and ribbed, but often very brittle; ami their surface,
like that of aquatic animals, destitute of hair or down of any kind. The leaves of aquatic plants afford shade
and spawning places to fish, and habitations for aquatic insects and worms for their nourishment The roots
of P. natans are a favorite food of the swan, and that bird is in consequence erroneously considered as keeping
ponds and lakes clear of all aquatics. Ducks eat the seeds and leaves of P. crispum. I taller informs us, that
.n the Swiss lakes P. serratum grows from ten to twenty fathoms long, forming, as it were, Immense woods in
the midst of these immense reservoirs. Most of the species may be considered as ornamental in a botanic gar-
den, when kept within bounds or in pots. They are readily propagated by seeds or by dividing their long roots,
and for the most part, grow best on a clayey bottom.
318. Ru/r/tia. Named after Henry Bernard liuppi, a German. He published in 1718, a Flora Jenensis. It
is remarked by Or. (ioodenough, that the flower-stalk of this plant is spiral, like that of Valisneria, and relaxes
or contracts itself according to the depth of the water. The truth is, the flower and leaf-stalks of all aquatics
have a power of accommodating themselves to the depth of the water, so as just to emerge above its surf ice ,
but the singularity in Ruppia and Valisneria appears to be the employment of a flower-stem for that purpose.

nourishing. The species are very common in dry pastures, where they are valuable for sheep-food. S. proeum-
bens is a small but troublesome weed in shaded garden-walks and paved courts, and with S. apetala, seeds the
whole summer. Curtis remarks, that the latter species ripens its seeds more rapidly than almost any other
plant.
Class V. — PENTANDRI A. 5 Stamens.
0\e of the most extensive of the Linnaean classes, and containing about a fifth part of all phaenogamous
plants. It includes the whole of the Boragineas or Asperifoliaa, Asclepiadeae, Apocyneas, and Umbelliferae,
nearly all Primulacea?, and portions of a great variety of other natural orders, among which many are orna-
mental, and others valuable on account of their relation tr> medicine and the arts.
The Boraginea; are, in many instances, ornamental planes ; a few, such as Anchusa tinctoria are applied to
economical purposes ; but the principal part are weeds of northern latitudes. They have been recently described
and re-arranged in a scientific manner by M. Lehmann, whose Monographia Asperifoliarum should have a
place in every botanical library.
The curious genus Stapelia is a part of the Asclepiadeae, which order was in so unsettled and confused a state
as to be a reproach to the science until it was remodelled by Mr. Brown, who first determined the just limits of
its genera. The Apocynea; contain, among some poisonous plants, such as Echites venenata, the Oleander re-
markable for the beauty of its flowers, and the Cream fruit and Picimmons of Sierra Leone, which are said
to be excellent fruit-trees.
Umbelliferous plants contain numerous species, some of which, like the Cicuta virosa, Conium maculatum, &c.
are dangerous poisons, and others which are useful to mankind either as luxuries or necessaries. The seeds of
caraway coriander, &c. are commonly used by the confectioner, of dill and anise by the distiller; the blanched
stems of celery and sweet fennel, and the roots and leaves of many others are among the best of British vegetables.
The gum galbanum of the shops is said to be the produce of a plant of this tribe. Great difficulty exists in ascer-
taining upon what principles the genera should be divided. Linnaeus, contrary to his usual practice, attempted
to derive the characters from the absence or presence of the involucrum ; Hoffman, Link, and Sprengel from
peculiarities in the fruit, or, as it is familiarly called, in the seeds. The characters of Sprengel, who has, as
it were, grown old in the study of Umbellifera?, are certainly deserving of attention ; but botanists are much
divided in opinion upon their merits ; and, it is to be feared, that notwithstanding the labours of the learned
men who have directed their study particularly to the consideration of the order, little real progress has been
made in its final arrangement. In this work the arrangement of Sir James Smith has been adopted, as being
the most simple of all that has been published, and the most easy of application.
The plants belonging to Primulaceae are beautiful border- flowers, or pretty alpine plants. In the same arti-
ficial section with these, are found the elegant families of Convolvulus and Ipomsea, one or several species
of which produce the jalap of the shops ; the various kinds of Epacris, which in New Holland rival the heaths
of Southern Africa, and the splendid genus Azalea.
Other sections include the teak wood of the East Indies ; the Sapodilla plum, and the Star apple, fine
fruits of the West Indies ; solanum, well digested by Dunal ; the Jesuit's bark (Cinchona), of which no species
has yet been brought alive to Europe ; the coffee tree, and many others.
Pentandria Digynia contains little beyond the Asclepiadeae and Umbelliferae, already mentioned. The Su-
mach, Guelder Rose, and Elder are contained in Trigynia ; in Tetragynia the paradoxicafand curious Parnassia j
in Pentagynia, Crassula, Linuin, and Statice, all ornamental genera; and a few obscure weeds make up the
last order, Polygynia.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
322. Mirabilis, is a Latin word, signifying something wonderful or admirable ; and applied with some
reason to this, the most fragrant of flowers. Clusius called it Adrairabilis. We from the same cause call it
Marvel of Peru. The French botanists still call the genus by Van Royen's name, Nyctago ; derived from m%,
night, and ago, to act, on account of the flowers expanding at night. M. dichotoma is called the four-o'clock
flower in the West Indies, from the flowers opening regularly at that time of the afternoon. M. jalapais a very
ornamental plant in warm borders. When cultivated, it sports into many agreeable varieties. It flowers
best when treated as a tender annual, and then planted out ; but if sown at once in the open air, it will flower
late in the season in favorable summers Its large tuberous roots, if taken up and preserved during winter like
those of Dahlia, or even covered well with litter in the open garden, will flower perennially. The powder of
these roots washed, scraped, and dried, is one of the substances which form the jalap of druggists.
323. Abronia. Derived from «(2;«s, delicate. The little plant produces flowers surrounded by an involucriiin
of a charming rose color.
324. Plumbago. Pliny says this plant was s<> railed from plumbum, because it possessed the power of curiiin
a disorder in the eyes called by that namc.which appears to have been the same as what we call cataract. There

is also a modem reason for the application of the name to this gomis. P. cumpa?a is called toothwort, and i/entr.
laire, Fr., from its curing the tooth-ach, for which purpose the bruised root is chewed, when it excitet by its
causticity a healthy salivation, but stains the teeth of a load color. The species an- all pretty, easily cultivated,
and almost always in flower.
325. Heliotropium. From r,\it(, the sun, and t^itu, to turn. Both I'linv and Diosoorides assort that the
flowers are always turned towards the sun. It was called Verrucaria by the Latins, because the juice of the
leaves mixed with salt was said to be excellent in removing warts, verruca. H peruvianum and europanmi
are popular plants, with the smell of new hay: the former is rather tender ; I >t it both keep flowering during
most of the summer months. Curtis recommends koeping H. peruvianum in a stove during winter.
SB& Myosutis. So named from /juk, a rat, and if, trot, an ear Its oval velvety leaves arc like the ear of s
rat or mouse. M. scorpioides, l'orget-me-not, has its specific name from the racemes Of flowers, which, when
young, bend in at the top like a scorpion'.- tail It is a well known sentimental flower, w ill grow-any where, and
varies moTe than most plants with situation. On dry walls and rubbish, it is dwarfish, rough, and hairy, not

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
green, and two or three feet high. In common soils, as in a garden or loamy corn-field, it assumes an inter-
mediate character. Linnaius considers the plant as deadly to sheep. In gardens it does well in pots in the
shade, or treated as a bog-plant, than which few better deserve the name of pretty.
327. Echinospermum. Named by Lehmann from ££<«>?, a hedgehog, and cr*n>/j.y, seed, the seeds being
very prickly, by which character, and their being compressed, not depressed, and the bractese of the inflores-
cence, the genus is principally distinguished from Myosotis and Cjnoglossum.
328. Mattia. A genus divided by Professor Schultes from Cynoglossum, with which it agrees in general
character. Named after some unknown botanist.
329. Tiaridium. From tj<*{«, an episcopal head-dress, and s/So?, similar; on account of the resemblance
between its seeds and a mitre. Three species have been described, of which one is the H. indicum of Linn.,
a plant of no beauty or merit.
330. Lithospermum. From XiS-ot, a stone, and atKgtoi, seed, the seeds being hard and shining, like little
pebbles. L. officinale has stony, brittle, egg-shaped nuts, exquisitely polished, grey or yellowish ; ami being
considered like a stone, were for that reason used as a cure for the disease so named. The bark of L arvense
abounds with a deep red dye, which stains paper, linen, Sec. and is easily communicated to oily substances,
like the alkailet root, and hence is called bastard alkanet. The country girls in the north of Sweden stain
their faces with the root on days of festivity.

inui Miscellaneous Particular*,
331. Balschm. Named in honor of John George Batsch, a German professor of botany in the university of
Jena, in the latter part of the last century. His works upon Fungi are still quoted. The three species known
are natives of North America, and are very pretty plants.
332. Onosma. An ancient name, the origin of which, fiom ovos, an ass, and wfm, smell, as being a plant with
flowers grateful in their smell to asses, is not very certain. What was intended by Pliny and Dioscondes as
Onosma has not been satisfactorily ascertained. It was undoubtedly a plant of this family. This genus in its
wild state is found chiefly on rocks; and, like most temporary rock-plants, is not easily preserved otherwise
than on drv walls, heaps of rubbish, or artificial rock-work. The species are pretty, and all have yellow Mowers.
333. Anchusa. Derived from ayx«"ra> patat ,n earlV times, the root of A. tinetoria was used lor staining
the features when more delicate colors were unknown. The Fnglish name BuglOSS has been formed from @*(,
an ox, and >•>»«■«•*, a tongue, in allusion to the long rough leaves. A. officinalis is nearl) allied in qualities
to Borago. The tube of the corolla is melliferous, and very attractive to bees ; the hive- are juicy, and the
roots mucilaginous, and Used in China for promoting the eruption of the ■.mall-pox. A. Iinctona is cultivated
in the south of France for the roots, which communicate a line deep red to oils, wax, and all unctUOU
stances, as well as to spirits of wine. It is used chioflv bv the apothecaries for coloring planters, lip-salvi
and by vintner- for staining the corks of their port wine bottle.-, or lor coloring and flavoring the spurious
compounds sold as port wine.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
334. Symphytum. Named from <rvp*$v<ri;, a union or junction, the plant having for a long time passed for a
famous vulnerary. The French name for the plant, Consoude, has the same meaning ; but that of the English
term Comfrey is obscure. S. officinale abounds in mucilage, and may be substituted for Althaa officinalis
All the species are large, coarse, but showy shrubbery plants, flowering for two or three months together, and
S asperrimum the whole season.
335. Onosmodium. From Onosma and e/So?, similar to Onosma ; from which it is not very different either
in habit or characters.
336. Cynoglossum. From xvuv xwos, a dog, and ykaxrera., a tongue. Its long soft leaves have been compared
to the tongue of a dog. C. officinale smells like mice, was considered anti-scrophulous, and is disliked by cattle.
337. Omphalodes. From onqaXx, a navel, and s/Jo?, resemblance ; the round seeds, which are depressed iii
the centre, may be compared to a little navel ; for the same cause it is called Navclwort in English. O. linifolia
is a common border annual. O. verna is a beautiful little plant with blue flowers, like the Forget-me-not, peep-
ing from among the snow in every cottager's garden in the early spring.
338. Pulmonaria. Derives its name, some say, from the speckled appearance of the leaves resembling dis-
eased lungs : but others think that its name has arisen from the plant having been used with success in pulmo-
nary complaints; whence also, perhaps, the English name Lungwort. It must not, however, be interred from

and MiseeUaiuout Particulars.
English names ot this sort having been applied to plants, either that lungwort was ever used in this countn
for the lungs, or liverwort for the liver. The truth is, that the old herbalists, or translators of the classical
writers upon natural history, made English names after their Latin denominations, without enquiring whether
such continued to be applicable or not, and their less informed successors had no difficulty in finding those
virtues in the plants which were indicated by the names of the translators. P. virginira, sibirica, and maritima
are elegant plants, greatly resembl ng each other, and considered by some as most probably only varieties
They are among the most elegant ornaments of the flower-garden in dry springs ; but they require some care
in keeping, unless in a soil almost entirely of sand.
flBft Cerinthe. From *>j;of, wax, and **%<*, flower, because there is great attraction for bees in the flowers.
The French word im-liiict and the Knglish honeywort have been formed in the same sense ('. major is a
shewy border annual, much frequented by bees. In Italy and Sicily it is very common, and n biennial.
340. Boragth, is said by Apuleius to be an alteration of corago, and to have been named on account of lb
cordial qualities. Pliny says that wine, with this infused in it, cheers the spirits. B officinalis, was formerly
in great repute as a cordial. According to Withering, the young leaves may Ik- used as a salad or as a pot-herb,
and the flowers form an ingredient in cool tankards.
341. Trichodcsma. From S-;i| t(<x«, hair, and i-.c-fj./;, a bond, the atamens being united by interwoven hair.- .

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
the principal feature in the generic character. This has been separated from Borago by modern botanists ; it
is a plant of no beauty.
342. Asperugo. So called from its asperity. The only species is a procumbent annual with small blue flow-
ers, found all over Europe, from Lapland to the Mediterranean.
343. Nonea. A name contrived by Monch, in his Methodus Plantarum, to distinguish the dark flowered species
of Lycopsis. The genus was long neglected, but has recently been adopted by both Decandolle and Lehmann.
344. Lycopsis. From \vxos, a wolf, and oi|'> tne eye- Ingenious people have found a similarity between the
small blue flowers of this plant and the eye of a wolf. All the species are weed-like plants.
345. Echimn, is an ancient name applied to some plant of this family, and derived from tyis, a viper, from
the resemblance between its seeds and the head of a viper. The spotted stem, which may be likened to a snake's
skin, affords a reason for the application of the name. All the species are beautiful in their flowers, but rough
and unpleasant in their foliage. The common E. vulgarc of our downs is perhaps the handsomest of European
l>lants.

346. Tourncfortia. So named by Linmeua, after Joseph Pitton de Toumefort, author of an elegant arrange-
ment of plants under the title of Inttitutioite* rei Herbaria, and the father of the French school ofbotany. The
system of Jussieu is founded upon that of Toumefort, or is rather an adaptation of the principles of that' botan-
ist to the actual state of the s< ience. The species are by no means handsome either in flowers or foliage, and
in nme cases the latter is even fetid.
Solana. Is a diminution of nolo, signifying a bell in low Latin. The name has been applied to this
plant on account of its bell-shaped corolla. The species are hardy annuals, of beautiful appearance when in
lower. They may \n sown in the spring in the open border, where they will grow without protection.
;4S. ArHa. In honor of Benoit A retio, a Swiss, professor in the university of Berne. He died in 1574. He
published a work upon alpine plants, and his name has been applied to a charming alpine genus, said by some,
with little reason, not to be disthket from Primula. The species are very delicate, and require good air and
-kilful cultivation to succeed will. They are peculiarly suitable for rock. work or growing in pots, well drained,
and Riled with turfy loam ami peat

agreed on by the general consent of florists ; they were first brought forward by the Dutch, and are now to be
found in the treatises on florists' flowers of all countries : one of the best in this country is Maddocks's Florist's
Directory.
The culture of P. veris as a border flower is abundantly simple, as it will grow any where, but best in a situ-
ation shaded from the mid-day sun, and in a loamy soil ; but its culture as a florists' flower, the crossing to
procure new varieties, and all the various cares of the florist involve details much too tedious for this work, if
they were to be given at such length as to be of real use. We refer to Maddocks, Emerton, and Hogg, and to
the Encyclopedia of Gardening.
P. elatior is found in the same situations as the primrose, but is much less common than either it or P. veris,
It has little or no smell. Sir J E. Smith considers it as probably a hybrid between the cowslip and primrose.
There are two or three varieties of oxlip, but they are not considered as florists' flowers.
P. veris smells more strongly of anise than the primrose. Its leaves have been used as a pot-herb, and in
salads, and are recommended for feeding silk-worms. The flowers make a pleasant wine, flavored like mus-
cadel, but considered somniferous. Liquors and syrups are sometimes tinctured with the leaves. Having been
less cultivated than the primrose, there are but few varieties of this plant in gardens. They may be raised
from seed, however, to any extent, as Messrs. Gibbs, of the Brompton nursery, and others, have lately proved.
P. auricula is a well known favorite of the florist It is a native of the alpine regions of Italy, Switzerland,
and Germany, and found also alxiut Astracan. The most common colors in its wild state are yellow and red,
sometimes purple, and occasionally variegated or mealy. The cultivated are innumerable, and many of them
of exquisite beauty and fragrance. The leaves in different varieties differ almost as much as the flowers, a
circumstance which does not take place to the same extent in the variations of P. vulgaris or veris. Near
most of the manufacturing towns of England, and many in Scotland, the culture of this flower forms a favorite
amusement of weavers and mechanics. Lancashire has been long famous for its auriculas : it is no uncommon
tiling there for a working man who earns, perhaps, from 18*. to 30j | < r week, to give two guineas for a new
variety of auricula, with a view to crossing it with some ether, and rasing seedlings of new properties.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
As to the soil proper for auriculas and polyanthuses, much has been written, and some highly artificial com-
positions of bullock's blood, sugar-baker's scum, night-soil, fuller's earth, &c. recommended. Many of the most
successful growers, however, use nothing more than a loam from an old pasture or hedge-row, kept and turned
over occasionally during a year, and then mixed with hot-bed dung rotten to a mould, or with leaf-mould, and
some sand to keep it open. The soil and manure must be well mellowed by time before using, and not mixed
till it is wanted, as that is said to generate worms. (See Encyc. of Gard. art. Pri?nula.)
P. auricula, helvetica, nivalis, and viscosa, are considered by Herbert as only varieties of one original, for he says
he raisec a powdered auricula and a P. helvetica from P. nivalis, and a P. helvetica from P. viscosa. (Hurt.
Trans, iv. 20.) These, and the other species of this genus, are well adapted for being kept in pots of loam and
leaf-mould, or loam and peat well drained, and in frosty or wet weather during winter, protected by a frame to
imitate their natural covering of snow in alpine regions. Sweet says, " they require to be shifted and parted
frequently, for if left too long without these being done, they will dwindle away and die." The best time for
parting and shifting is after they have done flowering.
P. scotica, a pretty plant, resembling P. farinosa, has lately been discovered in Scotland by Dr. Hooker, pro-
fessor of botany at Glasgow.
351. Cortusa. So named by Mathiolus, in honor of his friend J. A. Cortusus, who first noticed it. This is a
handsome lrttle alpine, requiring a similar treatment to the Swiss Primula;.
352. Soldanella. The diminutive of solidus, a shilling. The round leaves of these plants are very like
pieces of money. They are among the least and most beautiful of alpine plants, and remarkable for the man-
nerin which their corolla is cut or lacerated. Culture as in the Swiss Primula?.
353. Dodecatheon. A name of the Romans, signifying 12 gods or divinities, applied with apparent inaptitude
by Linnaeus to a plant, native of a world the Romans did not know, and resembling in no particular that of
their writers. It was originally named Meadia by Mark Catesby, in honor of Dr. Mead, but the name was
continued only as a specific appellation by Linnams. It is very ornamental when in flower ; afterwards the
leaves die away, and the root only remains till next season. It is not easily kept ; but thrives better in a bed
of light loamy soil, in a shady and rather moist situation, than in pots.
•354. Cyclamen. Derived from xuxXet, a circle, on account of the numerous coils of the fruit-stalks. This
gcous consists of humble plants with very beautiful flowers. In the north of Italy wild swine feed on its

bulbs, which are round, flattened, and solid, and as large as pigeons' eggs. When the flowers fade the pedicels
tw ist up like a screw, inclosing the germen in the centre, and, lying close to the ground among the leaves,
remain in that position till the seeds ripen. The plant is peculiarly adapted for pots, and for chamber decora,
tion in spring. C. hederaefolium is very scarce, and agreeably fragrant C. pcrsicum is tender ; the others are
quite hardy.
:i55. Ilot'tonia. In honor of Peter Hotton, a professor in the university of I^yden, born in 1648, died in 1709.
He wrote several academical dissertations, and published remarks upon medicinal plants, valuable in their day.
Plume d'e .u, 1'r. IVasscrviole, Ger, and Miriqfillo aquatica, ItaL This singular aquatic has roots consisting
of white capillary fibres, which strike deep into the mud. The leaves grow in tufts under the water, and only
the upper part of the flowering stem rises above it, producing a showy spike of white and blue flowers. It
affords refuge to the fresh-water periwinkle {Turbo LUtoreus), and other small shellfish. The seeds being
sown in a pond when ripe, the plants will rise in the water the spring following.
356. Lysimachia. Fiom \vrif fw-xrt, of which the English name Loose-strife is a translation ; it has been given
to this plant from the quality absurdly ascribed to it by the ancients, of quieting restive oxen when put upon
their yokes. Linnams says it was named after king Lysimachus of Sicily, who first used it, which account i*
nearly the same as that of Pliny. Most of the species are bog or fen plants, of the easiest culture. L. nummu-
laria is ornamental on moist rock-work or hanging from a pot in a northern exposure. Though one of the
hardiest natives, it seldom produces ripe seeds, like most plants which multiply themselves much by the
roots or stem. The flowers of L thyrsiflora come out in lateral bunches from the axils towards the top of the
stem, which Linnaeus notices as a singular circumstance in an upright plant L stricta, after flowering, throws
out bulbs from the axils of the leaves, which, if allowed to lie on a moist surface, will produce young plants
the following spring. I* dubia requires to be treated like a tender annual.
357. Anagnllis. From «»«><>.«», to laugh ; the name expressing the medicinal qualities of the plant, which,
by removing obstructions of the liver, removed a cause of low spirits and despondency ; *o at least say Pliny
and Dioscorides. A. arvensis is a beautiful trailing weed, and one of the Fiona horologies*, apt Ring it- (lowers
reecJarly about eight minutes past seven o'clock in our latitude, and clo-ing about three minutes past two
o'clock. It also serves as an hygrometer, for if rain fall, or there be much moisture in the atmosphere, the
flowers either do not open, or close up again. Small birds are very fond of the seeds. A. monelli is a veiy

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
beautiful small plant, and, with A. latifolia and linifolia, require the protection of a frame during winter.
A. tenella is a delicate bog-plant, but not a very certain tenant of the genus. It is probably botanically
358 Diapensia. An ancient Greek name of the Sanicle, and signifying a plant which removes pain ; the
Sanicle being a vulnerary. Linnaeus applied the name to this plant, which is neither a Sanicle nor a vulnerary,
but a pretty alpine species, requiring the same cultivation as similar things, and retaining its deep green leaves
through the severest winters.
359. Pyxidantliera. From tu|<s, a box, and av^a, an anther, the anthers bursting across like a little box.
A small plant resembling Azalea procumbens, with heath-like leaves and minute white flowers. It is found on
the White-Mountains of New Hampshire, and in Pine-barrens in other parts of North America, but is verv
rare in cultivation.
360. Cons. A name of Dioscorides, for which even the etymological ingenuity of a Linnsus or a De Theis
have been unable to provide a meaning, lis was given to a plant analogous to Hypericum, and resembling the
heath. Tournefort applied the name to this plant, whose fine leaves, and purple or pink flowers, clothe like
the heath, the places where it grows wild.
361. Galax. From yaXa, milk, ill allusion to its milk-white spikes of flowers. This is a neat little plant,
and thrives best in a moist situation ; where alone it flowers freely.
.VS. Menyanthcs. From iwn, a month, and «»3-«;, flower, in allusion to the power which the plant is sup-
posed to possess of exciting menstruation. Buck-bean, or Bog-bean, Eng., Bachsbohne, Ger. An infusion of
the leaves is bitter, and is frequently recommended in dropsy and rheumatism. In Sweden the plant is used

as a substitute for hops, two ounces of the leaves being substituted for a pound of hops. The powdered roots
are sometimes eaten in Lapland. The only species cultivated is the wild plant of our rivulets.
36 ''. VUlarsia. A genus divided from the last, and named after Villars, a French botanist of repute, who wrote
the Flora of Dauphiny, in 1786, a work used even at the present day. This is an aquatic genus of easy culture,
and increased by seeds or dividing at the root. V. nymphoides is one of the most elegant of British water-plants.
.'364. Chironia. Named after Chiron, one of the fathers of medicine, botany, and surgery. He is mythologically
represented to have been the son of Saturn, or of Time and Experience. Many plants, the virtues of which he
is believed to have first discovered, have borne his name. The genus, however, to which it is now applied, is
probably not one of those. It consists of pretty plants of short duration, generally with pink flowers. The
species are not long-lived plants, and therefore require to be frequently raised from cuttings. Peat mould suits
them best, and a little loam mixed with it ; and young cuttings planted in the same kind of soil, under hand-
glasses, strike root readily.
J65. Eustoma. From iv, well, and s-otwc, mouth or orifice, in allusion to the colored aperture of the tube of
the flower. A pretty little plant rarely seen in gardens. It resembles a Sabbatia.
366. Erythnva. From !»t/3-»e<-, red, in allusion to the color of the flowers. This is a pretty genus of herbace-
ous and annual flowers, but impatient of cultivation, and therefore rarely seen in gardens.
Sabbatia. Named after Liheratus Sabbati an Italian botanist, author of many works on botany. In
1772 he published the first volume of the Hortus Romanus, a fine work, in folio, of which the seventh and last
volume appeared in 1781. A prettv N. American genus of plant, resembling Chironia.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
ments upon the generation of plants. Small bushes or herbaceous plants with opposite entire leaves, and ter-
minal or axillary bunches of white flowers. Eleven species, natives of New Holland, are described. Ripened
cuttings may be struck in sand under a hand-glass.
369. Phlox. From ?Ao|, flame. The plant so named by the ancients is supposed to have been an Agrostemna.
The genus now so called is a native of North America only, and is one of the handsomest in cultivation. It
consists of most elegant border flowers, valuable for blossoming late in the season, and for their lively colors of
red, white, and purple, while the majority of plants that flower in autumn have yellow, and generally synge-
nesious blossoms. Most of the species delight in a rich moist soil, or loam and leaf mould or peat. The dwarf
species are admirably adapted for pots, or a select rock-work : they require some protection in severe winters.
370. Polemonium. From toM/ms, war. Pliny relates, that the plant which he called by this name received
its appellation from having been the cause of a war between two kings, who could not agree which of them first
discovered its virtues. It was also called Chilodynamia (from yiXioi, a thousand, and Swapis, power), on ac-
count of its extraordinary merit The plant which possessed all these good qualities is now forgotten. Its
name has descended to a flower which ornaments the garden, but which preserves nothing of the virtue of its
progenitor, beyond a slight vulnerary quality. P. caruleum is a border flower of long standing, and of the
easiest culture.
371. Vestia. Named by Willdenow, in his Enumeratio Plantarum, in honor of his friend Dr. Vest of Clagen-
Ohdkh I.

salad, under the name of Shawanese salad in North America.
873. Phacelia. From faxiXtf, a bundle, the flowers being disposed in fascicled spikes.
374. Ramcmda. Named after M. L, Ramond, a French botanist, who discovered many new plants in France.
A very pretty dwarf plant, kept in a frame with other alpine plants. Formerly a species of Yerbascum,
(V. myconi.'
375. yerbascum. An alteration of harhnscum, on account of the beard (barba with which all the leaves and
stems are closely covered. The species are all very fine looking plants, well calculated for shrubberies, among
other tall plants. They have been well illustrated by M. Schrader in a learned Monograph. V. thapsus has
been so called from its native place, the Isle of Thapsos. V. blattaria is said to have the power ol driving
away the blatta or cockroach. V. pulverulentum is one of the most magnificent of native herbaceous plant-.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
3S1 Hyoscyamus. From us Co;, a pig, and zua/Ms, a bean ; the fruit has been thought to resemble a bean,
and, although dangerous to other animals, is said to be eaten by pigs with safety. H. niger is a well-known
foetid weed, which follows civilized man, growing on rubbish of old houses, dunghills, Sec. It has a strong
peculiar odor, greatly affecting the heads of some persons, and the whole plant is reputed poisonous. Sir
J. E. Smith and Professor Martyn say they have often eaten the seeds without suffering inconvenience.
Lightfoot, on the contrary, says, a feu- of them have been known to deprive a man of his reason and limbs.
A species of bug (Cimex) and of beetle (Chrysomela) take their specific names from feeding on the plant ;
but no quadruped is known to eat it, unless the goat and sheep, and that very rarely and sparingly. As a medi-
cine, henbane is of immemorial use, and is still continued in the Pharmacopoeias. It is given with or without
opium in coughs, epilepsy, convulsions, &c. Country people sometimes smoke the leaves for the toothach.
382. Nicotiana. So named from John Nicot of Nismes, in Languedoc, ambassador from the king of France
to Portugal, who procured the seeds from a Dutchman who had received them from Florida. The first plant
was said to have been presented to Catherine de Medicis, whence the French name Herbe a la Reine. The
name tobacco, which has superseded all others, is the appellation of a district of Mexico. Petum or Petume,
Bras., Tabac, Fr , Taback, Ger., and Tabac, Ital. The species grown as tobacco are the N. tabacum and
rustica ; the former greatly preferred. The popular narcotic which it furnishes is probably in more extensive
use than any other, and its only rival is the betel of the east. According to Linnaeus, tobacco was known in
Europe from 1560. It was brought to England from Tobago in the West Indies, or Tobasco in Mexico, (and
hence the name,) by Ralph Lane, in 1586, but only the herb for smoking. Afterwards, according to Hakluyt,
seeds were introduced from the same quarter. Sir Walter Raleigh first introduced smoking : in the house hi
which he lived at Islington are his arms on a shield, with a tobacco plant on the top. Smoking has consequently
been common in Europe for upwards of two centuries. It is a powerful narcotic, and also a strong stimulant
with respect to the whole system, but especially to the stomach and intestines, to which, in small doses, it
proves emetic and purgative. The smoke thrown up the anus acts as a glyster : an infusion of the leaves
forms a powerful lotion for obstinate ulcers : the oil applied to a wound, is said by Redi to be as fatal as the
poison of a viper. The decotion, powder, and smoke of tobacco, are used in gardening to destroy insects, and
in agriculture for the same purpose, and to cure cutaneous eruptions in domestic animals.
Tobacco, as used by man, says Du Tour, (Nouvcau Cours a" Agriculture*, Sec.) gives pleasure to the savage and
the philosopher, to the inhabitant of the burning desert and frozen zone. In short, its use either in powder, to
chew, or to smoke, is universal ; and for no other reason than a sort of convulsive motion (sneezing) produced
by the first, and a degree of intoxication by the two last modes of usage. A hundred volumes, he adds, have
been written against it, of which a German has preserved the titles. Among these books is that of James
Stuart, king of England, who violently opposed it. The Grand Duke of Moscow forbade its entrance into his
territory under pain of the knout for the first offence, and death for the next. The emperor of the Turks,
king of Persia, and Pope Urban VIII. issued similar prohibitions, all of which were as ridiculous as those
which attended the introduction of coffee or Jesuit's bark. At present, all the sovereigns of Europe, and most
of those of other parts of the world derive a considerable part of their revenue from tobacco.
Tobacco is cultivated in Europe as far north as Sweden, and is also grown in China, Japan, and other eastern

and hot countries. The sort preferred is the N. tabacum, which is an elegant plant, grown also in gardens a*
a border flower. X. rustica, fausse /abac, Fr., Bauern (aback, Ger., and Tabacca cimarosa, Span., is also fre-
quently cultivated, especially in Europe, it being considered hardier than the Virginian sort. Parkinson says,
he has" known Sir Walter Haleigh, when prisoner in the Tower, prefer it to make good tobacco, " which he
knew so rightly to cure." Tobacco has been successfully cultivated and cured in this country, but its growth
is prohibited to encourage our commerce with America. It is now only grown fur curiosity as a border flower,
or by gardeners for the destruction of insects. In Germany and other northern countries, most families who
have gardens grow enough of N. rustica for their own use; but as they do not know how to cure it, it is not
much valued, and is never made into chewing tobacco or snutl!
In the culture of Tobacco in America, the plants are raised on beds early in spring, and when they have
acquired four leaves, they are planted in the fields in well prepared earth, about three feet distance every way.
Even morning and evening the plants require to be looked over, in order to destroy a worm which sometimes
invades the bud. When four or five inches high they are moulded up. As soon as they have eight or nine
leaves, and are ready to put forth a stalk, the top is nipped off, in order to make the leaves longer and thicker,
by directing all the energies of the plant to them. After this, the buds which sprout from the joints of the
leaves are all plucked, and not a day is suffered to pass without examining the leaves, to destroy a large cater-
pillar, which is sometimes very destructive to them. When they are tit for cutting, which is known by the
Irittleness of the leaves, they are cut with a knife close to the ground, and, after lying some time, are carried
to tbe drying shed, where the plants are hung up by pairs upon lines, having a space between, that they may
not touch one another. In this state they remain to sweat and dry. When i>erfect1y dry, the leaves are stript
iroin the stalks and made into small bundles tied with one of the leaves. These bundles are laid in heaps,
and covered, with blankets. Care is taken not to over-heat them, for which reason the heaps are laid open to
the air from time to time, and spread abroad. This operation is repeated till no more heat is pen eived in the
heaps, and the tobacco is then stowed in casks for exportation, (hong. Jam. iii. 719.1
In the manufacture of tobacco, the leaves are first cleansed of any earth, dirt, or decayed parts , next, they
are gently moistened with salt and water, or water in which salt along with other ingredients ha- been dis-
solved, according to the taste of the fabricator. This liquor is called tobacco sauce. The next operation is to
remove the midrib of the leaf; then the leaves are mixed together, in order to render the quality Of whatever
may be the final application equal : next, they are cut into pieces with a fixed knife, and crisped or curled
before a tire; the succeeding operation is to spin them into cords, or twist them into roll- b> winding than
with a kind of mill round a stick. These operations are all performed by the grower, and in this state rolls
the article is sent from America to other countries, where the tobacconists cut it into chaff-like shreds for
smoking, by a machine like a straw-cutter j form it into small cords for chewing; or dry and grind it for
snuff: In manufacturing snuff, various matters are added for giving it an agreeable Kant, and hence the
numerous varieties of snuffs. The three principal sorU arc called Reppsjf, Scotch or Spanish, and 1 birds.
The first is onlv granulated, the second is reduced to a very fine powder, and the third is the liftings of the
second sort. The Iwst Havannah scgars are made from the leaves of N. rcp.uida I he Indians o| the Hockjr

383. Ipo?naa. From jij, ixo{, a bindweed, or something analogous, and o/juho;, similar. This genus
is nearly allied to Convolvulus and Calystegia. It consists chiefly of twining stove plants, free flowerers,
and of the easiest culture. I. tuberosa is a plant of great beautv and fragrance. In Jamaica it is
evergreen, thickly covered with leaves and large flowers, and much used to shade arbors. Browne
says it may be carried over an arbor of 300 feet in length. Every part of the plant abounds with milk,
ano is purgative. Long thinks Scammony might be made from its tubers, and Loureiro affirms them to be

384. Convolvulus. From convvlvert; to entwine. This is an extensive genus of some beauty, and the
C. batatas is of known utility as an edible root. The stems in the greater number of species are herbaceous
and twining, a few are shrubby, and one or two very low herbs.
C. arvensis has white jointed worm-like roots, very difficult to eradicate in gardens or corn-fields : it is con-
sidered as a certain indication of a dry soil.
C. scammonia, named in Arabia Scamunia I ' Forsk. Golius), affords the gummy resin of that name from the
roots, which are three or four feet long, from nine to twelve inches in circumference, and contain a milky
juice. The top of the root being bared of earth, it is cut through in a sloping direction, and a shell or cup
placed close to the section for the juice to run into. This juice hardened is the true scammony, chiefly used
as a stimulating cathartic.
C. turpetlium is derived from turbid, its name in Arabia (Golius.)
C. batatas, Batatas is Malay according to Rumphius, Mexican according to Nieremberg) skirrets of Peru,
or Spanish potatoes, is a native of both Indies and China. It came first to Spain from the West Indies, from
thence it u.is imported here annually, and sold as a delicacy. It is the potatoe of Shakspeare andcontem|w>rary
writers, the Solatium tuberosum being then secretly known ill Europe. The batatas is cultivated in all the tro-

pieal climates much in the same manner as our ]>otatoe, but with more room for its trailing italics. Not only
the tubers, but the young leaves and tender shoots are boiled and eaten ;and, as is the case with all plant, long
in cultivation, there are several varieties.
C. tricolor is a well known border-annual, commonly called C. minor, with reference to another border-
flower, l|>omo?a purpurea, which gardeners and seedsmen commonly call C. major.
C. reptans, is a common potherb in the East Indies and in China.

tiful genus nearly related to Convolvulus.
886. Nemophila. From x,u«, a grove, and ? i>.m, to love; the species growing in shady woods. A mall
hardy N. American plant, with bright blue flowers and divided leaves.

bractea?, and by its capsule being one-celled. C. sepium, the Convolvulus sepium of Willdcunw, has medical
properties similar to Scammony, for which Withering thinks it may serve as a substitute Swine, it is said,
tut the roots in large quantities, and yet are not purgeil by them. C. soldanella is :in acrid purge.

History, Use, Propagation, Cuttuit,
388. Cobaa. In honor of Barnadez Cobo, a Spanish Jesuit, who wrote upon subjects of natural history
about the middle of the 17th century. The name arose H>ith Cavanilles. This is the most rapid growing
greenhouse climber known, having been found to grow 200 feet in length in one summer in a conservatory.
It will thrive almost equally well in the open air during summer, but is destroyed by frost ; and its shoots are
only of annual, or at most of biennial duration. It strikes in sand in moist heat, but it generally ripens
Beeds, which, sown early in spring, and forwarded in a stove, will flower in the greenhouse or open air the same
season.
389. Cantua. From Cantu, the native name of the genus among the Peruvians. Pretty greenhouse plants,
rarely seen in gardens.
390. Hoitxia. Hoitzit is the name of this plant in Mexico. A handsome plant with brilliant scarlet flowers.
It is occasionally raised from Mexican seed, but is very rare in collections.
391. Retzia. Named after John Retzius, professor of hotany at Lund, in Sweden. His Observationes Bo-
tanies? is a work of reputation. A small upright shrub with whorled lanceolate leaves, and clustered brown
flowers, almost hidden among the leaves.
392. Lubinia. A genus dedicated by Commerson to M. de Saint Lubin, a French officer who travelled in the
East Indies. A small plant with ascending stem and fleshy smooth leaves, of little merit.
393. Epacris. Named by Forster from art, upon, and ccxsof, the top of a thing ; because in New Zealand
the species grow on the top of the mountains. A most ornamental genus, which Sweet observes, thrives " best
in a sandy peat soil ; the rougher and more turfy the soil is, the better the plants will thrive : these should
always be shifted in fresh pots before they are turned out of doors in spring, as their roots are so very fine, and
are generally matted round the pots, so that the hot sun coming against the pots destroys them, and they look
brown all through the summer, and are very difficult to recover. Young cuttings planted in |>ots of sand under
bell-glasses in autumn or winter, or early in spring, will strike root readily, but thsy will not strike so readily
in summer : when rooted, they should be potted singly in small pots, and set in a close frame, and must be
hardened to the air by degrees." (Bot. Cult. 186.)
394. Styphelia. A name derived from <rrvfo;, dense, in allusion to the compact habit of the genus. Erect

branched shrubs, natives of New Holland, with scattered mucronate leaves, and axillary, nodding, very showy
flowers. Culture as for Andersonia.
9K Lissanthe. A New Holland genus of shrubs with small white flowers, the segments of which are smooth,
not bearded as in Leucopogon, to which the genus is next From this difference its name has been contrived ;
'/.tirtrn, smooth, and «>-><>,-, a flower.
Astroloma. From <rr;«. a star, and kSJ/jut, a fringe, in allusion to the stellate disposition of the little
bundles of hairs at the bottom of the tube. A genus of neat little bushes, with axillary erect flowers. Culture
as for Andersonia.
3"J7. Spreneelia. So called in honor of Curt Sprengel, professor at Halle, in Saxony, a learned man
and respectable botanist His Historia Rei Herbaria; is a monument of industry and information. This is a
handsome half-hardy genus, delighting in a shady aspect, sandy peat soil, and dry bottom. They must be
w ,tt< red sparingly when not growing freely. Cuttings root in sand under a bell-glass.
3118. Andcrtonia. Named by Mr. Browne, first, after William Anderson, a navy surgeon, who died in Cook's
hat vovage ; secondly, after Dr. Anderson, formerly director of the botanical garden, St Vincents ; and
after \Villiam Anderson, the curator of the apothecaries' garden, Chelsea. According to Sweet, this genus
" grows freely in a sandy peat soil with the pots well drained ; and care should be taken not to over-water it,
as they are very liable to get sodden, when they seldom recover. The very young tops put in for cuttings,
under a Inll-glass in sand, will root readily. When first potted off, they should be put singly in small thumb.
|«>ts, and kept close in a frame for a few days, and hardened to the air by degrees." | Bat. Cult I
raiiai lllll Perhaps derived from >.wif, a separation or solution, and w.um, a stamen , but the applica-
tion of the name is not obvious. Shrubs with the habit of Epacris. They prefer rough turfy soil, and cuttings
rant readily in sand under a bell-glass.
4<«). Mimofoca. F'rom fM»K, one, and rsxsc, birth, because only one ovulum is borne by the ovarium, a
rcnirkahlc circumstance in the natural order of the genus. The (pedes are little shrubs, with axillary or
ur.iiinal spikes of white flowers. They require well drained pots, and their cuttings must be taken off when
very young, and planted in sand under a bell-glass.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
401. Leucopogon. From Xiuxet, white, and nvym, a beard, because the segments of the white flowers are
bearded. A very extensive genus of small shrubs, with spiked axillary or terminal flowers. Culture a* far
Andersoi.ia.
402. Stenanthera. From trnux, narrow, and a»S-»j^*, an anther ; the anther being in this genus not
60 broad as its filament A bush with pine-like leaves, and erect large scarlet blossoms. Culture as in
Andersonia.
403. Azalea. From aZaXus, dry, arid; either in allusion to the places where the plant grows, or to the
brittle dry nature of its wood. This is a very ornamental genus, from its abundance of flowers of almost all
colors, and the fragrant smell of most of the species. A. indica is the most delicate, but flowers well in a moist
heat in rough peat well drained. According to Sweet, " it thrives best in a sandy peat, and the pots to be well
drained with small pieces of potsherd : it should be set in an airy part of the greenhouse in winter, and great
care must be taken not to over-water it : in summer it should be exposed to the open air, but not in a very
sunny situation. Young cuttings taken off close to the plant, and planted in pots of sand, will root readily, if
plunged in heat under a bell-glass." (Bot. Cult. 144.) T. Blake keeps his plants " in peat and leaf-mould,
always in the greenhouse till they are in a flowering state, and then he removes them to the hothouse, the
sudden heat causing the blossom to open the better." (Hort. Trans, iv. 133.) J. Nairn uses the most fibrous
part of peat-earth and sand ; he places them in a considerable heat, and always in the shade, and when the
plants exhibit blossom buds in March, he then raises the temperature from 50° to 60°. This species strikes by
cuttings of the young wood, taken off close to that which is ripened, planted in pots of sand, and plunged
under a bell-glass.
The hardy Azaleas are best grown in compartments or groups by themselves, or with other American or
European plants requiring a moist peat soil, and rather shady situation. Where peat is not to be had, the

are obtained from many of the sorts, and should be sown in pans or shallow wide pots thinly covered, placed in
a shady situation, and kept moderately moist. When fit to transplant, they should be pricked into otner pots,
and placed under a glass, and shaded till they have struck roots afresh. They may then be hardened by de-
grees, and, when their roots fill the pots, planted out in beds, or where they are finally to remain. Most of the
hardy Azaleas are v. ell adapted for growing in pots, and for forcing early in spring. The deciduous sorts flowe
better than those which are subevergTeens.
By intercrossing with Azalea and Rhododendron, some new and curious varieties or hvbrid species have l>oon
produced, especially in Colvill's nursery, under the direction of Mr. Sweet : and from some thousands Ol
lings which have not yet flowered, many more are expected. (See Encgc. of Gard. part IL b. i. ch. viii. sect. 7.
The juice in the bottom of the flower of A. poutica is poisonous, and communicates its bad properties to the
unwholesome honey of Pontus. Several fine varieties of the Azalea indica have lately been brought to Ibil
country ; but many of the best varieties are still among the desiderata of English cultivators.
404. Cham&ledon. From z*f?°", dwarf, and kihot, a kind of cistus. This has been formed from the well
known Azalea procumbens of Linnaeus, one of the most interesting of our northern plants
*iS. Brcxia. So named by Noronha, perhaps from ,?(!$/,-, rain, in allusion to the protection afforded by tbe
fine large leaves of the genus against rain, tine stove plants with firm, spiny, or entire leaves, and axillary
green flowers. In the garden they are commonly caUed Theophrasta*.
406. Ophiorhna. From »$k, a snake, and ii'x, a root, from the use which is made of the roots in the Eart
Indies for curing the bites of dangerous snakes. Mungos is an Indian name. A pretty stove plant, whose
white flowers are well relieved by the dark red back ground of the calyxes and pedicels.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
407. Allamanda. In memory of Dr. Frederick Allamand, a professor of natural historv in the university of
Lcyder, , who went to Guiana about 1769, and to Russia about 1776, and sent descriptions, figures, and specimens
of plants to Linna?us. It is a milky shrub, of cathartic qualities: flowers freely, and strikes with ease in a
moist heat.
c^' T¥°Phrasta- Theophrastus was bom at Eresus in Lesbos, 310 years before Christ, and died at the age
of 8o. Linnaeus has justly termed him the prince of botanists. The genus which has been selected to comme-
morate his name, is a curious prickly-leaved, low plant, native of St. Domingo, where it is called by the negroes
wild cocoa. In the collections of this country it is rare, and no means has yet been discovered of propagating
it, except by seeds.
409. Clavija. Named in honor of Joseph Clavijo Faxardo, a Spanish naturalist, who translated into his own
language the works of Button. A fine genus of plants, exceedingly rare both in gardens and herbaria.
410. Vmca. From vinculum, a bond, in allusion lo its twining shoots. The origin of its English name is
however, quite unknown. The Anglo-Saxons called it pc> uince ; the English, periwinkle ; the French, per-
venchc. This is a genus of well-known little shrubs, valued for tlieir early and long continued flowering,
and the hardy speries as being evergreens which thrive under the shade and drip of trees. V. minor and
major, like other plants which run much at the root, very rarely produce seeds. V. rosea is continually in
flower, and is easily propagated by cuttings under a hand-glass.
411. Nertum From vm>o;, damp, the plant growing upon the borders of rivulets, in the southern parts ot
Europe. This is a genus of beautiful evergreen shrubs of easy culture and propagation, and free flowerer.-,
preat part of the year. N. tinctorium affords a blue equal to that of indigo, and it is thought bv Dr. Roxburgh
might be cultivated for that purpose.
N. oleander is very common in the Levant, and especially in the Isle of Candia, and in Sicily, Magna Graecia,

412 WrUUia. Named after Dr. William Wright, a Scotch physician, who resided some years in the West
Indies at the end of the last century, and the author of one or two botanical tracts. W. antidyscnterica is
reputed to be a specific in the dysentery. The wood is well adapted for the turner, and to make cabinets and

ablv with ebony.
W. zeylanic.i 1- an elegant branched shrub, with whitish yellow flowers and an agreeable odor. Both species
may be treated like Nerium.

viper, on account of the twisting nature of its shoots. This is a genus of plants somewhat singular 111 habit,

History, Use, Propagation, Culture
415. Plumieria. So named by Tournefort, in honor of Charles Plumier of Marseilles, a Franciscan friar,
who travelled into South America. He is distinguished for the accuracy of his observations, and for the fide-
lity of his drawings, which are the only representations of many of the most curious plants of the West Indies
and South America. His drawings of flowers have seldom, even in these days of pictorial excellence, been
equalled. He was the author of Plantas Americana;, 1693, and other excellent works. This is a fine flowering
genus. " It succeeds best in a light loamy soil, and requires but little water. Large cuttings taken off and
laid to dry for a considerable time, may be stuck in the tan in a moderate heat, or planted in pots, and they
will root freely ; they must not be covered with a glass, or it will rot them. To have the plants flower
well, thev should be kept very dry when not in a growing state, which will throw them into bloom."
{Bot. Cult. 95.)
416. Strophanthus. From <rr^vpu, to turn or twist, and *v&os, a flower; in allusion to the manner in which
the segments of the corolla are twisted together before expansion. A most beautiful genus of tropical shrubs,
with bright yellow flowers more or less spotted with red. They require the same treatment as Ecnites.
417. Cameraria. So named by Plumier, from Joachim Camerarius, a physician and botanist of Nuremberg,
who was born in 15.34, and died in 1598. He published an edition of Matthiolus, in Latin and German,
with new figures, and many observations ; but the most celebrated man of the name was Ralph James Came-
rarius, a German botanist, who published in 1719, a tract, in which the first principles of the arrangement of
plants by their seeds were propounded. This is a fine flowering genus, of easy culture, and cuttings root freely
under a hand-glass in a pot of sand.
418. Tabertuemontana. So named by Plumier, in memory of James Theodore, surnamed Tabemiemontanus,
from Berg-Zabern, the place where he was born. He published " Krauterbuch," and figures of plants in
1589-90; was physician to the Elector Palatine, and died in 1590. This is a genus of easy culture but little
beauty. All the species root in sand under a hand-glass.
419. Amsonia. So named by Clayton in his Flora Virginiana; referred to Tabernarnontana by Linnaeus,
now separated again. These are pretty plants, which grow in any soil ; and may be propagated by cuttings
under a hand-glass, or dividing at the root
420. Cerbern. A poetical name formed in allusion to the mythological dog Cerberus, whose bite was poison
cus, as is the juice of this genus. Ahouai and Manghas are vernacular names of the countries where the spe-

cies so called are found. Thevetia is named after Andrew Thevet, a French monk, who travelled in Brazil about
1530. C. Ahouai has thick succulent leaves about three inches long, and near two broad, of a lucid green,
smooth, and very full of a milky juice, as is every part of the shrub. The flowers are in loose bunches at the
ends of the branches, and are succeeded by nuts, the kernels of which are a most deadly poison. The wood
stinks abominably, and is not used even by the Indians for fuel. They put small stones into the empty nuts,
string them, and fasten them about their legs when they dance.
C. Mangha* is a milky tree with broad lanceolate leaves a foot in length ; flowers in terminal racemes, and
the drupe ovate, the size of a goose's egg, inclosing two seeds resembling two large chestnuts, poisonous and

C. Thevetia is an elegant shrub or small tree, with acuminate leaves, and large, specious, nodding, yellow,
sweet-smelling flowers. The fruit is a green drupe, containing a nut with a single kernel in it Cuttings of
all the species strike very readily in sand under a hand-glass.
421. Tectona. Altered by Linnaeus from Tckka, its name in Malabar. This is a timbcr.trce of immense size
and great durability, and is justly called the oak of the east. The trunk is erect, and the bark ash-colored ;
the leaves are obovate, downy underneath, and on young trees from 12 to 24 inches long, and from 8 to lfi broad.
The flowers are in panicles, small, white, and fragrant The seeds are lens-shaped in 4 celled drupes. I he-
tree abounds in the vast forests of Java and Ceylon, Malabar, Coromandel, &c, and especially In the empires
of Birman and Pegu. The wood has, by long experience, been found to be the most useful In Asia It Is
easily worked, and at the same time both strong and durable. It is considered superior to all others for shi|>-
budding. Calcutta and Madras draw all their supplies of wood for ship-building from the teak forests ol Al-
and Pegu. Some of the finest vessels that have ever arrived in the Thame* have been of teak tree, built In
Bengal. The tree was introduced to the British possessions by Lord Cornwallis, and la no* planted with i
view to timber in the mountainous parts of Bengal. In our stoves it thrives in loam and |>eat, and ripened
cuttings root freely in sand under a hand-glass.
422. CaJdasia. A pretty stove herbaceous plant, with handsome small blue flowers It was named by W iH-
denow, after the MSS. of Baron Humboldt, in honor of Joseph Caldas, a meritorious Spanish botanist, residing
at Popayan in South America. It may tie propagated by cuttings.

genus. These are plants with good foliage, but no beauty of blossom. Some of the species are robust enough
to bear our winters in the open air ; but they are rather tender, and require to be placed in a sheltered situation
or against a warm wall, and covered with mats during winter. Cuttings root in sand under a hand-glass. The
stove species are low West Indian trees, and known there under the name of Bully tree. They thr.ve well
in loamy soil, or loam and peat, and cuttings will root, but, according to Sweet, " not freely, in sand under a
hand-glass," being well ripened before they are taken oft:
4.4 Chrysophyllum. From xeytros, gold, and <pvXXm, a leaf; all the species having their leaves covered on the
under surface with dense shining hairs of a bright yellow or white color. C. cainito has large elegant leaves,
ferruginous underneath ; it forms a tree of considerable size, with slender flexible branches. The leaves and
fruit, like the Achr-as, to which the tree is very nearly allied, are full of milk, which the fruit retains even in the
most perfect state. This milk is rough and astringent before the fruit ripens ; but when it grows to full perfec-
tion, it becomes sweet and gelatinous, with an agreeable clamminess. Being mixed with a small quantity of
orange juice, it binds the body extremely. The tree is of general and easy culture in Jamaica, and is here
grown chiefly for its foliage. Sweet savs, ripened shoots of all the species taken oft- and planted in sand, will
root under a hand-glass with a strong moist heat.
425. Sideroxylon. From <r/J»;j»j, iron, and tuXov, wood ; in allusion to the hardness of the wood. The specific
name melanophleum (uilxg 9X010?) means black-bark. The wood of this tree is very close and hard, and so
heavy as to sink in water. It grows well in loam and peat; and cuttings somewhat ripened may be struck in
sand under a hand-glass.
426. Jacquinia. So named by Linna>us, in honor of James Nic. Jos. de Jacquin, professor of botany at Vienna,
born at Leyden, in 1727, author of many splendid works. A noble genus, well devoted to perpetuating the
memory of one of the fir-.t of botanists. The name of one of the species armillaris, (from armilia, a garland,)
has been applied in consequence of the shoots being used bv women in America as garlands. This beautiful
genus requires some care in propagation, but is of easy culture in the bark-stove, in loam and peat, and
with a moist heat. " Cuttings," Sweet observes, " will strike root with ease in sand, under a hand-glass, in
heat."
427. Achras. The Greek name of the wild pear. The root of the word has been thought to have been found
in ac, the Celtic for a point, in allusion to the many stout spines with which the tree is covered. The word
Sapota, applied to one of the species, is derived from its Mexican name Cochit-zapotl This is a genus of fruiU
bearing timber-trees, chiefly natives of the West Indies. A. mammosa, or American marmalade, grows in
America to the height of .35 or 40 feet, having a straight trunk covered with an ash-colored bark. Thebramho
form a regular head ; the leaves a foot in length, and near three inches broad in the middle. The flowers are

cream-colored, and are succeeded by large oval or top-shaped fruit, covered with a brownish skin, under which is
a thick pulp of a russet-color, very luscious, called natural marmalade, from its likeness to marmalade of quince.-.
It is commonly planted in gardens for the fruit in Jamaica, Barbadoea, Cuba, and most of the West India
islands. In this country it has been hitherto grown only as a part of botanic collections, but some attempts
have been lately made to cultivate it as a stove fruit, and we have no doubt they will be attended with success.
" Cuttings root readily in a pot of sand plunged in heat, under a common hand glass. The cuttings should be
taken off' as near the stem of the plant as possible, not being so apt to rot as when cut oil m the middle of the
shoot No leaves should be taken off or shortened above the sand." Sweet
A. sapota is a large, tall, straight tree, without knots or branches, for twenty feet or more. The head spreads
into many small branches ; the bark is dark-grey and full of cracks ; the fruit k> bigger than a quince, round,
and covered with a thick grey rind, yellow when ripe. The flesh is as yellow as a carrot, with two stones the
size of almonds, of a rich smell and taste. The variety called the Naseberry has fruit as big as a bcrgamot pear,
and similarly shaped. When it is green or first gathered, the juice is white ami clammy, and will stick like
glue ; then the fruit is hard ; but when it has been gathered two or three days, it grows soft and juicy, and then
the juice is clear as spring-water and very sweet; in the midst of the fruit are two or three black stoi
seeds, about the bigness of a pompion seed. It is esteemed an excellent fruit in the West Indies. In our gtOW -
it is propagated like the uiammcc tree.
42X. Curtlia. So named by Plunder after E, ( ordus, a German botanist of the Kith century. Valerius Cordus,
his son, was born in 1515, and died i?i 1544. He left a History of Plants, and was the author of some Observa-
tions upon Dioscoridcs. Sebestena, the name of a species, is sebestan in Persian. Myxa is derived from im/J,
a viscidity, on account of its viscid mucous juice, which is used for glue in the east Geraschanthus, from
yiecurxat, to grow old, anil «.'*t;, a (lower, is in .illusion to the long duration of the (lower- ; collococca, xs>>r,
glue, and xoxxo; ; glutinous fruit) in allusion to the fruit This is not a delicate genus, but (lowers freely. The tim-
ber of C. myxa is tough and -olid, and used in the east for procuring lire bj tin don The leaves bruised with
those of Datura metel are applied to the forehead in the headach ; children eat the fruit, from which afsoa glue is
prepared. C. sebestena is very ornamental, on account of its large, tubular, -carlct Bowers ; the must 1 cautiful
and agreeable, says Browne, of any I have seen in America. A small piece ol the wood put on a pan of lighted
coals, will perfume a whole house. From the juice of tl>c leaves, with that of a specie- of (ig, is prepared the
fine red color with which they dye tne;r clothes m Otaheite. Poultry in the West Indies reed on the I
of C. collococca, which is there called the clammy cherry, or Turkey berry-tree. All the species grow readily
in loam and peat, and cuttings strike in sand, under a glass, in heat.

430. Ehretia. So named by Linnaeus in honor of D. G. Ehret, a famous French botanist and draughtsman.
He made all the drawings for Patrick Browne's History of Jamaica ; and a large collection of his drawings
\e now extant in the Banksian collection. Large trees of the Tropics, with handsome foliage and white
flowers, which are not often produced in Europe.

an apothecary at Nuremberg.
432. Ellisia. Joseph Ellis was an English naturalist, fellow of the London Royal Society, and correspondent
of Linnaeus. He published, besides his Natural History of Corallines, many papers in the Transactions of the
Royal Society.
433. Sersalisia. Named after John Baptiste Sersalis, a Neapolitan clergyman, much praised by Fabius
Columna. Culture the same as for Sideroxylon.
434. Manglilla. This genus is called in Dombry's Manuscript Papers, from which M. de Jussieu obtained
his knowledge of it, Manglille de Perou. The original species was a Peruvian shrub, with alternate leaves and
bunches of numerous axillary flowers.
435. Ardisia. A name derived from «»S;j, a point, on account of the acute segments of the corolla. An
ornamental genus of plants, much valued by collectors for the beauty of their foliage, flowers, and berries.
They are of easy culture : cuttings strike root freely in a pot of sand, plunged in a moist heat, under a hand-
glass.
436. Arduina. In honor of Pietro Arduini, curator of the economical garden of Padua. A genus scarcely
distinct from Carissa. It is a pretty little plant not unlike the box, easily propagated by cuttings under a bell-
glass in sand.
437. Strychnos. A name given by the Greeks to the Solatium. The root of the name has been found in the verb
reutj, to strew, to throw down ; the property of the original and modern plants being narcotic. S. nux-vomira
is a middling sized tree with a crooked trunk and smooth ash-colored bark : the leaves round, shining, smooth,

entire ; and the berry the size of a pretty large apple. The wood is hard, durable, and very bitter. The seeds,
which form the officinal nux-vomica, are employed in the distillation of country spirits, to render them more
iatoxicatiag. The pulp of the fruit seems perfectly ianocent, beiag eatea greedily by aiaay sorts of birds.
The seed coasists chiefly of a gummy matter with a little resio, the latter iateasely bitter. It is reckoned
amongst the most powerful poisons of the narcotic kind. It proves fatal to dogs in a very short time, and to
most other quadruped vermin, and even some birds, as crows and ducks From dissections both of the human
subject and of dogs that have been poisoned by it, no injury appears done to the stomach or intestines, which
proves that it acts upon the nervous system, and destroys life by the virulence of its narcotic influence.
S. potatorum is a larger tree than the other. The pulp of the fruit whea ripe is eaten by the natives : the
ripe seeds are dried and sold in every market of the East Indies to clear muddy water. A precious quality in
countries where the water is rarely of a good quality. Hence the English name of clearing-nuts. The native*
never drink clear well-water, if they can get pond or river water, which is always more or less impure. One of
the seeds is rubbed very hard for a minute or two round the inside of the vessel containing the water, which is
generally an unglazed earthen one, and the water left to settle; in a very short time the impurities fall to the
bottom, leaving the water clear, and perfectly wholesome. These nuts are constantly carried about by the
more provident part of our officers and soldiers in time of war, to enable them to purify their water; they are
easier to be had than alum, and are probably less hurtful to the constitution.
438. Carissa. A word of no known meaning. Carandas is a slight alteration of Caraunda, the Bengalese
name of the tree. C.Carandas is a small tree, with dichotomous branches, and entire, glossy, ovate leaves, flowers
like those of Jasminum grandiflorum, and berries black when ripe, eatable, and of a sweet acid flavor. Cur-
rant-jelly is made of them ia the East Indies.
C. spinarum is a diceceous plaot with horizontal branches, coriaceous glossy leaves, and terminal peduncles
of five or six small flowers. Neither of the species require much water, and the pots should be well drained
to prevent their getting sodden. Cuttings strike root freely under a bell-glass in sand plunged in heat
439. P<ederia. From ptrdor, stink, in allusion to the fo?tid smell of the flowers. A climbing smooth shrub,
with opposite stalked entire leaves, and dull purple flowers.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
440. Gelsemium. One of the ancient names of the jasmine. A beautiful climbing evergreen shrub, rather
too delicate to bear the cold of our winters ; but with a little protection it produces in abundance its charming
yellow flowers of delicious fragrance.
441. Rauwolfia. So named by Plumier, in honor of Leonhard fiauwnlf, physiean at Augsburg, who travelled
through Palestine and other countries of the east, in 175 ;k5. His travels were translated into English, under
the revision of Mr. Ray, and with additions by him. The species abound in a milky juice, which is considered
more or less of a deleterious nature. They produce berries about the size and color of those of the privet.
Cuttings root in sand under a hand-glass.
442. Vallesia. In honor of l'r. Vallesio, principal physician to Philip 1 1., king of Spain. He wrote upon the
plants of holy writ. Small Peruvian shrubs.
443. Btvobotrys. From Sa.ios, small, and jloTevs, a bunch ; the flowers growing in little bunches. An
elegant shrub with white flowers, produced freely from the axillae of the leaves.
444. Solandra. In honor of the celebrated and excellent Daniel Solander, whose botanical merits will
never be forgotten in this country. He accompanied Sir Joseph Banks in his voyage with Captain Cook, and
the information afforded by his manuscript notes made at that time has not yet been exhausted. The species
are very beautiful, and remarkable for the extraordinary size of their flowers. Sweet observes, " if allowed
plenty of room and moisture, they grow very rapidly, but produce no flowers. The best way is to plant them
in a loamy soil, and allow them to grow fast at first, till they have made a great many shoots ; then keep
them very dry till their leaves drop off, and they will produce plenty of flowers. Cuttings taken off and stuck
in a pot of mould, will root without any further care. The best way to have plants flower young, is to take
the cuttings from the flowering shoots." {Bot. Cult. 107.)
445. Cestrum. A name given by the Greeks to the Betony, but having no relation whatever to the plant
which bears the name now. Cestreau, Fr. This is a genus of easy cultivation, but of little beauty. The
flowers are all white, and in some cases sweet-scented ; the fruit of all poisonous.
446. Atropa. A mythological name. Atropos was one of the Fates, and it was her especial duty to cut the
thread of human life. The fruit of this genus is well adapted to fulfilling her office. A. belladonna (fineladv) has

its specific name, according to some, from its being used as a wash among the ladies, to take off pimples or other
excrescences from the skin ; or, according to others, from its ciuality of representing phantasms of beautiful wo-
men to the disturbed imagination. The inspissated juice of the berries is used in the form of extract for anointing
the eyelids in some opthalmic complaints. Its effect in dilating the pupil is quite remarkable. It has branch-
nig stems with the root leaves often a foot long and five inches broad, and the whole plant is more or less
tinged with purple. The flowers are void of scent ; the berries are larger than cherries, at first green, but
when ripe of a beautiful shining black color, full of purple juice, with roundish dotted channelled seeds. The
whole plant, and especially the berries, is poisonous. Buchanan relates the destruction of the army of Sweno
the Dane, when he invaded Scotland, by the berries of this plant, which were mixed with the drink which the
Siots, according to truce, were to supply the Danes with. The Danes became inebriated, and the faithless
Scots fell on them in their sleep. Dr. Milne Indigenous Botany remarks, that nature has been more parsi-
monious in her warnings with respect to this plant, than to others of the same natural family. Neither the
smell nor the taste is offensive ; and if the color of the flowers proves in some dl gree a repellent, that of the
fruit, on the other hand, is in an equal degree, at least, attractive and inviting.

It l- a venomous plant, and was an im|>ortant engine in the days of medical charlatanry, from the roots being
supposed to bear a resemblance to the human tern. In old berbala the figures display the male mandrake
with a long beard, :,m\ the female with a prolix head of hair. Miller says, •• mountebanks carry about ficti-
tious images, shaped from roots of bryony and other plants, cut into form or forced to grow through moulds
of earthenware, as mandrake roots." Happily such mountebanks have ceased to exist In Britain. On the
continent they arc still common, and Box tells us in 1810), that by means of a few cuts with a knife, tin >

by mountebanks in sea-port towns of France. For an ingeniously indelicate figure of a mandrake root, lee

but is the better for the protci lion of a frame or shelter of a south wall during w inter

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
448. Physalis. From (puns, a bladder. The fruit is enclosed in an inflated calyx. The berries of P.
alkekengi are acidulous and slightly bitter ; they were esteemed detergent and aperient by the ancients. In
Spain, Germany, and Switzerland, they are eaten as a common fruit. Phy. peruviana produces a pleasant
fruit for tarts, and is in some countries, and even English gardens, cultivated for that purpose.
449. Saracha. A plant resembling Atropa, or Physalis, to which it is too nearly related. It was named by
the authors of the Flora Peruviana after Isidore Saracha, a Spanish botanist.
450. Lycium. So called because the original species was a native of Lycia, a country of Asia Minor. Some of
the Cape species of this genus have elegant flowers and merit cultivation, and L barbarum is valuable for cover-
ing naked walls, arbors, &c. It grows four or six feet in a season, flowers freely, and is readily propagated by
cuttings at any season of the year. L. europium is used for hedges in Tuscany, being armed with small

451. Solanum. By some ingenious commentators this word has been derived from solari, to comfort. The
derivation may be possible, but the application is not evident. This extensive genus, which belongs to the
Luridas of Linnsus's system of natural orders, does not contain many handsome plants j but it includes, besides
the Tomato and egg plant, celebrated in cookery, the potatoe, whose tubers, as a human food, if equalled, are
not surpassed by those of any other plant. Some of the species are singular on account of their leaves and

in the more temperate districts of the western coasts of that country. Some tubers, said to be of the wild po-

differs very little, if at all, from that of the common cultivated sort ; they are small, roundish, and pink and

in his Herbal, published in 1597, gives a figure of the potatoe, under the name of Potatoe of Virginia, whence
he says he received the roots ; and this appellation it appears to have retained, in order to distinguish it from
thebattatas or sweet potatoe (Convolvulus battatas) till the year 1640, if not longer. " The sweet potatoe," Sir
Joseph Banks observes, " was used in England as a delicacy long before the introduction of our potatoes; it
was imported in considerable quantities from Spain and the Canaries, and was supposed to possess the power
of restoring decayed vigor The kissing comfits of FalstafT, and other confections of similar imaginary quali-
ties, with which our ancestors were duped, were principally made of these and of eringo roots." Gough saws
the potatoe was first planted by Sir Walter Raleigh on his estate of Youghall near Cork, and that they were
soon after carried into Lancashire. Gerrarde and Parkinson, however, mention them as delicacies for the
confectioner, and not as common food. Even so late as Bradley's time they are spoken of as inferior to skirrets
and radishes ' ' ' '
The use of potatoes, however, became more and more known after the middle of the 18th century, and has
greatly increased in all parts of Britain within the last thirty years. It is also very general in Holland, and
many parts of France and Germany, and is increasing rapidly in Russia. In Spain, and the East and West
Indies they are not much cultivated, owing to the heat of the climate j but in all the temperate parts of North
America, Australasia, and South America they are grown by the colonists. In China they are cultivated, but
not extensively, owing to the slow progress which every thing new makes in that country. Indeed, no root
hitherto discovered is so well adapted for universal use as the tubers of the potatoe ; for, having no peculiarity
of taste, and consisting chiefly of starch, their farina is nearly the same as that of grain. Hence, with the
flower of potatoes, puddings, and such preparations as do not call the gluten of wheat-flower into action, may
be made equal to those of millet or rice, and excellent bread with a moderate proportion of good wheat-flour.
Potatoe starch, independently of its use in the laundrv, and as a hair powder, is considered an equally delicate
food as sago or arrow-root As starch and sugar are so nearly the same, that the former is easily converted
into the latter, the potatoe yields a spirit equal to thatof malt by distillation, and a wine or beer by the ferment-
ative process.
The varieties of the potatoe are very numerous, differing in earliness, lateness, form, size, color, and quality.
The names for these are quite arbitrary or local. In general, every district has its peculiar or favorite varie-
ties. Some of these degenerate, and others improve when removed from one district to another. New varieties

are readily procured by sowing the seeds, which, with care, will produce tubers the third year, and a fuU crop
the fourth As few of the early sorts produce blossoms, to procure seeds from them deprive the plant of its
tubers as they appear, and keep the runners from which they proceed above ground, by not earthing up the
plant, and blossoms and seeds will soon be produced. This Mr. Knight completely proved, and the rationale
is developed m the Philosophical Transactions for 180d. It appears that the same sap gives existence both to
the tuber and blossom, and that whenever a plant of the potatoe affords either seeds or blossoms, a diminution
of the crop of tubers, or an increased expenditure of the richness of the soil, must necessarily take place. This

The curl is a well known disease of potatoes, which frequently disappoints the cultivator of a crop, or renders
that produced of little value. A great variety of opinions exist as to this disease : without enumerating these
we may state, as the general result of experiments by different persons, that the curl arises in most, or at least
in many cases, from using over ripe tubers as seed stock, or from the employment of seed stock w Men has
been injured or improperly kept during the winter; that is, kept exposed to the light and air instead of being
covered with earth, or sand, or straw, so as to preserve their juices. The experiments of various farmers and
gardeners as recorded in the Farmer's Magazine and Caledonian Hort. Mem , lead to the above conclusions.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
for years without vegetation. Where there is an ice-house, they may, when taken out of the pits, be kept in
small quantities in it till wanted for use.
S. lycopersicum. (From Xvxot, a wolf, and persica, a peacn, in poetical allusion to the beautiful appearance
and deceitful value of the fruit) Tomate, Fr., and Porno d'oro, ItaL, is cultivated extensively about Naples
and Rome for the use of the berry in sauces, stewing, and soups. It is one of the most common articles used
in Italian cookery, and makes an excellent sauce for fish, meat, and general purposes. Its use for sauce in this
country is greatly on the increase, and it is cultivated to considerable extent near London, against walls and
artificial banks, being raised on a hot-bed, and transplanted like other tender annuals.
S. nigrum, a very common plant on dunghills, is narcotic and poisonous like S. dulcamara and Atropa bella-
donna. A Spanish cure for the consumption is burying up to the chin in garden earth, and afterwards rub-
bing the body over with an ointment made from the leaves of this plant
S. ffithiopicum is cultivated in China for the fruit, which is served at the tables of mandarins like our
cherries.
S. melongena, (M. from bydendjan, its Arabic name, according to Forskahl) is cultivated both in Europe
and the East and West Indies for its fruit, which is used boiled, stewed in sauces, &c. like that of the love-ap-
ple. The plant is more tender, and in this country requires to be matured under glass, like the balsam and
|f te.nder a."nua,s- s- muricatum resembles it in habit, and may be cultivated for the same purpose.
452. Nycterium. From n.jj nxros, night. A small tribe of plants cut off from their ancient genus Solanum.
N. amazonium is quite a beautiful shrub, growing well in pots in a moderate stove.
4o3. Capficum. From *«t\ mordeo, to bite, on account of the biting heat of the seed and pericarp.

ripe, dried in the sun, pounded and mixed with salt: it is then kept stopt in bottles, and is commonly known
by the name of Cayenne-pepper. A mixture of sliced cucumbers, shallots or onions cut very small, a little lime
iuice and Madeira' wine, with a few pods of bird pepper, well mashed and mixed with the liquor, seldom fails
to provoke the most languid appetite in the West Indies. It is there called Man-dram. Gathered fresh from
the plant, the pods of all the species are liberally used both in the East and West Indies, to assist digestion and
correct flatub r,
C. frutescens and minimum, the latter by many considered only a variety of the former, low shrubs with
an oval red berry more sharp and biting than any of the others, furnish the Cayenne pep|>er of the shops.
The ripe pods are dried in the sun, and then in an oven after bread is baked, in an earthen or stone pot, with
flour between the strata of pods. When quite dry they a.v cleaned from the flour, and beaten or ground to
fine powder. To every ounce of this, a pound of wheat flour is added, and it is made into small cakes with
leaven ; these are baked, cut into small piece*, bakeil again that they may be as dry and hard a* biscuit, and
then are beaten into powder and sifted. It is then fit for use as a pepper, or for being packed up, in a com-
pressed state, and so as to exclude air, for exportation.
C. annuum, Piment, Ft.. Spani.se/,, r Pfejfir, Ger., Peberone, Ital., is cultivated for its fruit, which is used
in a green state for pickling, and ripe for mixing with other ingredients, as Tomato*, &C. to lorm sauces.

and in very warm situations treated as common annuals. C. cerasiforme is sometimes cultivated for the same
purposes as the common capsicum.

4.)8 Exostemma. From s|, out, and trrifx.fx.ix., a crown, in allusion to the protrusion of the stamens; one of
the characters on account of which the genus has been separated from Cinchona.
The genus Cinchona, which was so named after the Countess of Cinchon, who being cured by the use of
this plant, first brought it into notice, is very nearly related to this, and is a most important genus, as fur-
nishing the Peruvian or Jesuit's bark. The bark is taken from various species; but that which produces
the best is said to be C. officinalis, a native of Peru, and not yet introduced to this country. The
Jesuit's bark tree of Jamaica is the Exostemma caribseum, but land there is too valuable for its culture.
Our species are not very common in collections, being of slow growth, and not very easily propagated. Sweet

Hi.sln y, de, Propagation, Culture,
English it is called Venus' looking-glass. Ancient mirrors were always round, on which account the astro-
logical sign of Venus was 2 , or a figure of the antique mirror and its handle. This is a shewy^enus ; some
of the species are beautiful, and all of them of easy culture in the borders of the flower garden or shrubbery.
One or two species are used in dietetics, and probably the roots of the whole might be eaten. Almost all the
species have long thick white roots, which abound in an acrid milky juice.
C. rapunculus is much cultivated in France and Italy, and sometimes in Britain, for the roots, which are
boiled tender and eaten hot with sauce, or cold with vinegar and pepper. It is sown in Spring on deep light
soil in drills, and will be ready for use by the autumn of the same year. C. persicifolia and Rapunculoides
may also be cultivated for the same purpose.
('. pyramidalis was a very fashionable plant thirty years ago, and is still cultivated, but has given way to
Lobelia splendent and fulgens. It is still in demand in Holland as an ornament to halls, staircases, and for
being placed before fire-places in the summer season ; for which purpose it is planted in large pots, and trained
ill the Gin maimer, so as to cover a large surface. In the shade it will continue in flower for two or three

months. The art of producing a very large plant is to begin with pots of a small size, and shift frequently
during two years, till at last the plant occupies a pot of a foot or more in diameter. Rich light soil should lie
used, but no animal manures or recent dung, as these are found very injurious. Cuttings of the roots
flower the second, and seedlings the third year. C. carpatica and grandiflora may be treated in a similar
manner,
C. ldifolia has a singular anomaly in the leaves, which before the panicle is produced come out in a kind of
rose on the summit of the stem, but are, through its prolongation, afterwards dispersed. The flowers vary
much both in size and color, and the roots are eaten in China both raw and boiled.
C. glomerata is a handsome rock or pot plant; it requires a dry lean soil, otherwise, as in most plants, the
flowers lose the intensity of their color in that which is very rich.
C hederacea is a very small plant, with the leaves so much resembling those of Veronica hederitoha, that
Linnaeus suspected it to be a hybrid.
C. medium is a very ornamental border flower of the easiest culture, and with varieties, double md tingle,

fulgens is given by J. R. Van Mora, and W. Hedges, in the Hort. Trans. Both confess that very little art is
required. Hedges, to procure strong flower stalks, keeps the plants in pots, shifts very frequently from a
smaller to a larger size, places them first in cucumber frames, and when they begin to flower in a stove. 1 he
pots in which they are allowed to flower are nine inches in diameter, and, in order to supply abundant mois-
ture, pans are placed under the ]>ots constantly filled with water. The soil used is equal parts of loam and
leaf-mould, with a third of the whole of sand. They begin to flower in July, and i ontinue flowering through
the autumn. One plant so treated produced a flower-stalk which measured six inches in circumference at the
the height ot the centre spike of (lowers was rive feet and a half ; the shoots from the bottom and tides
of the main item were in number seventeen, and rising four and a hall feet.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
465. Phyteuma. $vnvna, was the name of a plant much used among the ancients for aphrodisiacal pur-
poses. No qualities of such a kind have been ascribed to the modern plant. This is a handsome genus, and
with Roella is well adapted for rock-work or pots. The roots of P. spicatum are edible, and used in Switzer.
land like those of the rampion.
466. Trachelium. From r^xv;, rough, which its leaf is in a high degree. A pretty little favorite of the
flower border, easily cultivated and preserved.
467. Roella. Named after G. Roelle, professor of anatomy at Amsterdam. He procured this plant fo»
Clifrbrt. A pretty little leafy bush, with beautiful flowers of blue and white.
468. Goodenia. So named by Sir J. E Smith, in honor of his friend Dr. Goodenough, Bishop of Carlisle,
and a lover of natural history. Herbs or small shrubs, with alternate leaves, and terminal or axillary flowers,
which are generally yellow, sometimes blue.
469. Euthalcs. From tv, well, and $a\/.u, to push or sprout. Very like the lait in all cMernal characters.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
474. Caprifolium. A poetical name, signifying goat-leaf; that is to say, a leaf which climbs like a goat.
Chevrefeuille, Fr., Geisblatt or Baumlilie, Ger., and Caprefoglio, ItaL This is a beautiful genus of flowering
odoriferous mostly twining shrubs, valuable in the flower garden, shrubbery, and against walls, arbors, or
trunks of trees. Like most British twiners, the honeysuckle follows the sun. Like other twiners, it bears
pruning well, for, as Professor Martyn observes, " those plants which in a state of nature cannot ascend without
the assistance of others, are often liable to lose large branches ; they have therefore a proportionate vigor of
growth to restore accidental damages." Against a wall, the climbing kinds are very liable to attacks from
aphides, and the caterpillar of Phalcena tortrix ; and the sphinges, or hawkmoths, according to Withering,
extract the honey from the very bottom of the tubular flowers with their long tongues.
In raising the honeysuckle from seeds, they should be sown the autumn after they are ripe, otherwise
they will not come up the first year. Cuttings are sometimes apt to rot, owing to water lodging in their
tubular stems above the last joint. To obviate this inconvenience, some make the cuttings of double the usual
length, and insert both ends in the ground, leaving the part above ground in the form of a semicircle. Com-
monly, however, such cuttings root only at one end ; or if at both, but very weakly at what was the top end.
475. Lonicera. Named after Adam Lonicer, a German, who was born in 1528, and died in 1586. There
was another Lonicer, John, who wrote commentaries upon Dioscorides. A section of what was formerly called
IyOnicera, comprising the species with a shrubby upright stem, neither climbing nor prostrate plants. All
hardy and easily increased by layers or cuttings.
476. Symphoria, is a syncope of symphoricarpos, from avv, together, tpi%oi, to bear, and xa.°T0i, fruit; a plant
which bears its fruit together in clusters. A small genus of low branching shrubs, formerly constituting part
of Lonicera.
477. Diervilla. Dierville, a French surgeon, travelled in Acadia, whence he sent this plant to his friend
Tournefort, who named it after him. A pretty low shrub, with yellow flowers appearing in the spring.
478. Triosteum. From t£i/j, three, and e?u>v, bone, three bones, on account of its three hard seeds. The
roots of this genus and of Diervilla are used indiscriminately in N. America for lpecacuana. {Viola. Ipec.)
479. Caffi-a. An alteration of the Arabic name qahourh, which is the name for the liquor of coffee ; the grain
ii called boun. Ca/nva, Prrs., Caltvey, Turk., and Eleave, Egypt.

C. arabica is an erect, conical-shaped, low tree, with a light brown bark, and opposite, oblong, wavy, shining,
light green leaves ; flowers in clusters at the base of the leaves, white, of a grateful odor, but of short duration ;
lierries green, red when fully grown, and black when ripe. A decoction of this berry forms the well known
lieverage which is said to have been drank in Ethiopia from time immemorial. It was introduced into Arabia
Irom Persia about the middle of the 15th century, and proceeded by Mecca, Medina, and Grand Cairn,
Damascus, and Alep|>o to Constantinople, where two coffee-houses were o|>ened in 1554 It is thought to
nave been introduced to Venice soon after 1615 : it was known at Marseilles in 1644, and Thevenot, a French
traveller, brought it to Park in 1687. Till 1660, it was drank by such only as had been accustomed to it in the
Levant About the end of the 17th century a coffee-house was opened at Paris, by one Pascal, an Armenian,
who, not succeeding, came to London, where coffee had been previously introduced by Daniel Ldwards, a
Turkey merchant, who brought home with him a Greek servant, Pasqua Roffee, who understood the
roasting and making of coffee, and afterwards set up a coffee-shed, which he was enabled in time to turn to a
house in the churchyard of St Michael's, Cornhill, In 1688 Ray affirms that London might rival Grand
Cairo in the number of its coffee-houses.
The coffee-tree was first introduced to Europe through the Dutch, who procured some berries at Mocha to
be sown at Batavia ; which being done in the year 1690, Governor WiUcn presented a plant to the botanic
garden of Amsterdam, where it l>orc fruit and produced many young plants. F"rom these the Fjist Indies arid
mo-t of the gardens of F^urope have been furnished. Coffee was afterwards cultivated by the Dutch in
Surinam in 1718, and by the French in Cayenne and the Mauritius soon afterwards. It was next grown in
Martinique, and so spread to the neighliouring islands and to Jamaica in 1730, or earlier. The plants are raised
from seeds, then transplanted into nursery lines. Plantations are made chiefly on hills and the skirts of
mountains, and, If possible, where the soil is moist and shaded. The trees are planted from five to ten feet
apart, according to the goodness of the soil and situation. Thev produce fruit the next year after planting ;
and the produce of a good tree is from 1J to 2 lbs. of berries. The berries are gathered when they begin to
tall, and in this state their pulpv bark begins to shrivel. They are further dried under sheds, and then
l>etween wooden rollers to separate the husk from the kernel ; and afterwards sifted, winnowed, and put into
casks for sale. In Arabia the plant and berries art much smaller than in the West Indie-, and the flavor in

consequence greater ; bulk being, in these richer soils and more humid climates, obtained at the expense »f
flavor. In our stoves the coffee-tree is raised from the berry, which must be sown soon after being gathered ;
otherwise if kept six weeks it loses its vital powers. Cuttings of ripened wood root in sand under a
glass in moist heat: transplanted, and furnished with plenty of water and pot room, they flower and fruit
abundantly.
480. Chiucocca. Snowberry, (xim, snow, and xozzoe , berry). Its berries are of a bright whiteness.
481. Serissa. A name of Commerson's, the meaning of which is not known. The genus is remarkable for
the trifid segments of corolla.
482. Canthium. From canti, the Malabar name of the plant. Spiny rigid plants with small opposite leaves,
and solitary, sessile, usually fragrant, white flowers.
483. Psychotria. From -^yxn, life; in allusion to the powerful medicinal effects of one of the species, P.
emetica ; or, as others say, from ■^v^or^ofov, an ancient name for an herb loving shade. The genus consists of
a great number of stove plants, nearly all bearing white flowers. Some of them are very beautiful on ac-
count of their foliage : one species, P. parasitica, is parasitical upon trees in the West Indies.
484. Hamellia. In honor of the celebrated Henry Louis Du Hamel Du Monceau.born in 1700, died in 1782,
author of numerous works on vegetable physiology. The genus consists of handsome shrubs of the West
Indies, with tubular yellow or orange-colored flowers.
■185. Posoqueria. The Galibis in Fronih Guiana call this plant oymara-posoqueri. A fine shrub, witli whito
flowers more than a foot long, and an eatable yellow berry as big as a hen's egg.

bush, with broad, green, entire leaves. It is said to bear a fine fruit as big as ah orange."
487. Gardenia. So named by Kllis, in honor of his friend and correspondent A. Garden, M. D. of Charleston,
in Carolina, who sent home many new species of plants. This is a beautiful genus, and most of the species
are highly odoriferous, and free flowerem. G. norida, on the first approach, smells like the flower of ttie
orange, but on being more closely studied to, like Narcissus. According to Thunberg, there are hedges of it
in Japan, and the Japanese are very fond of it near their houses, and in the walks of their gardens. The
fruit and seeds are used there to dye yellow. G. Rothmannia smells most during night : M bears an ovate,
fleshy, angular berry, black when ripe, and about the size of a small pear. Almost all the species are spiny
in their wild state; but lose their spines at an advanced age, or under high culture and keeping. Jn the stove
they require a moist heat to make them flower freely, as do the cuttings to make them strike. According to
Sweet, the best way to flower the greenhouse species is to set them in a close frame on a little bottom heat,
but not to plunge the pots.
488. Genipa. A name contrived by Plumier from the name, Genepapo, it boars In Guiana and Brazil.
G. americana is an exceedingly rare plant in collections. It bears an excellent fruit, in much request in
Dutch (iuiana, where it is called Marmalade-box.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
490. Rnnilia. So named in honor of Isaac Rand, F.R.S., who published the first catalogue of the Apothe.
caries' Garden at Chelsea.
491. Mussa?mia. A name by which Burmann designates a plant of this genus. V.fi. Zeyl. t76, Thespecies
are all of singular beauty, and especially distinguished by the large colored segment of the calyx, which is
either white or purple, and very remarkable.
492. Pinekneya. So named by Michaux, after some American gentleman of the name of Pinckney, who is
now forgotten. The genus is nearly the same as Mussa?nda. It thrives best, according to Sweet, when
turned out against a south wall, and protected by a mat in frosty weather.
493. Erithalis. A name given by Pliny to a plant remarkable for the verdure of its foliage ; i°i, a particle
signifying augmentation, and B-aXXa, to be green. It is now applied to a pretty genus of South American
plants.
494. Webera. In honor of G. Henry Weber, a German botanist, who published Flora Gnttingensis, in
1778, and other works of merit. He is chiefly known for the attention he bestowed upon muscology. Small
plants with bunches of white flowers.
495. Plocama. From xXox«.im>; interwined hair, on account of its pendulous twisted branches. A little
bush with the habit of some kind of Galium. The flowers are very small, and not much longer than the
calyx.
496. Morinda. Morus indica, Indian mulberry ; so named by Vaillant, from theshape and color of its fruit.
The bark of the roots of this genus is used in the E. Indies to dye yellow.
497. Cephaelis. From xupcc^n, a head, on account of the flowers being united in heads, remarkable for the
large, often colored, involucrum in which they are enveloped. Species areverv rare in collections ; and require
a high temperature.
498. Sarcocephalus. From raexct flesh, and xtfaXti, a head, in allusion to the large fleshy fruit of the
genus. This is like a pine-apple without its crown, of a dull uniform color, and consisting of a solid fleshy
mass containing many minute seeds. The flavor is said to be excellent A plant now common in gardens
near London, but it has not yet fruited.
499. Hirtella. Derived from nirtus, hairy. Its branches are covered with fine hair. Some of these are tall
trees of the tropics, usually supporting themselves upon other plants. Flowers, which are generally blue or
purple, are rarely seen in this country. Cuttings root in sand under a hand-glass.

500. Tiipftatia. A name of Loureiro, derived from -r^iacno;, triple, on account of the triple divisions of .ts
flowers, and ternary disposition of its leaves. It is the I.immiia trifuliata of gardens, a common bush, some-
times covered over with the little orange berries, which have an agreeable orange-like taste.
301. I ilis. From the Celtic givt/d, a tree or shrub. The G being suppressed in the pronunciation, according
to the usage of Celtic nations, the Latin! have made of it vilis ; the Spaniards uid ; the French visits , and
the English fine. The term muscat, applied to particular kinds of grape, is not derived from the perfumed or
musky tlavor of those varieties, but from the berries attracting flics, musca:, for which reason the Latins called
the kind > i/is npuiria.
V. vinifera is universally known for its fruit, and for producing the first liquor in the world ; a liquor which.
notwithstanding all that is said of its dangerous qualities, is yet eagerly drank by all who can procure it, and
preferred before all others by those who are unlimited in their means and choice. The grape vine is among
fruiis what wheat is among the cereal grasses, or the potatoe among the farinaceous roots ; and, like thi in, in
every country where it will grow, it is cultivated with preeminent care. In Britain, Us culture is now con-
fined to the garden as a dessert fruit ; though formerly grown in many places for the wine-press. Besides the
V. vinifera, the V. labruaca from Mfca, the Hebrew for grape) and laciniosa are all cultivated, and both are
now so intermingled with the brst species by hybrid products, that for all practical purposes they may be con-
sidered as only varieties.
The varieties of the grape in countries where it is grown for the wine-press, are almost as numerous as the
vineyards; for as these for the most part diflcr in soil, aspect, elevation, or otherwise, and as the tine is
greatly the child of local circumstances, its habits soon become adapted to those in which it is placed. Whui
it is considered that a vineyard once planted will last two or three centuries, it will readily be conceited
that the nature of a variety may be totally changed during only a part of that time. The varieties most . i ■
esteem for wine making, are small berries, and bunches with an austere taste. The Burgundy, as modified
by dirl'erent soils and situations, may lie considered the most general vineyard gra|ie of France, from Cham-
pagne or Marne to Marseilles and Bourdeaux. The best wine in Italy and Spain is also made from grapes of
this description ; but in both countries many of the larger berried sorts arc grown as being more productive
of liquor The sweet vines, as the Hfrimirj. Madeira, I oniliilliia Tnirnj. >f are made from swcet-l>crried
gtape* allowed to remain on the plants till over ripe. That wine is the strongest, and has most flavor, in
which both the skins and stones are bruised and fermented. The same thing is the else in making cider ;
but in both piocesses bruising the stones or kernels is often neglected.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
The varieties of dessert grapes on the continent are few : the best they have, as the Muscats and Frontignacs,
have been obtained from this country. The Chasselas or frame grape (our Muscadine), is almost the only
eating grape known in the Paris fruit market. In Britain, we have not only the best varieties, but we grow
the fruit to a larger size and of a higher flavor than is done any where else in the world. This is owing to the
perfeotion of our artificial climates, and the great attention paid to soil and subsoil, and other points of culture.
The vine is universally propagated by cuttings, either a foot or more long, with a portion of two year old
wood, or short with only one bud, or one bud and half a joint, &c. Varieties without end are raised from
seed; and it is thought that by propagating from the seeds of successive generations some sorts may ultimately
be procured better adapted for ripening their fruit in the open air than now known. A seedling vine carefullv
treated wdl show blossoms in its fourth or fifth year ; say that it produces a fair specimen of its fruit in the
sixth year, then a new generation may be obtained every sixth year.
The vine will thrive in any dry soil, or in any soil with a dry subsoil ; but it produces the best flavored fruit
among granitic and calcareous fragments, and loamy soil in thin strata, with little manure, and when the
vine is old and the berry and bunch small : on the contrary, the most luxuriant crops, large bunches and
berries, in a good depth of friable loam, dry below and richly manured with the strongest of animal manures.
There are three methods of pruning the vine in hot-houses ; the fruit tree method, in which the plant is
spread out in the fan manner, and treated like a common fruit tree; the long or. young wood method, in
which all the wood above a year old is cut out down to the stool or stock ; and the spurring-in method, in
which the fruit is produced from young wood grown annually from the sides of a main shoot or shoots of old
wood. The two last methods are the best.
Vitis vulpina, the foxgrape, (so called from the foxy flavor of its berries) is cultivated much in North
America, of which country it is a native. Many improved varieties have been raised by the American
gardeners, and have been sent to Europe under the name of the Bland, the Isabella, the Oswego Tokav,
&c. &c. ; but they are all tainted with the bad taste peculiar to the species, and can be in no estimation when
even an early July grape is to be procured.
502. Ampelopsis. From a^-nXo;, a vine, and o-i-i;, resemblance. The genus resembles the vine in habit,
leaves, and flowers ; is commonly employed for covering old walls, for which the rapidity of its growth renders
it very suitable.
503 Rhamnus. From the Celtic ram, signifying branching. From this word the Greeks have gained

and Miscellaneous Particulars.
town of Rheims are two branches intertwined. R catharticus was formerly used in medicine, and is still
employed in color-making, and sometimes in dying. The juice of the unripe berries has the color of saffron,
and is used for staining maps or paper. They are sold under the name of French berries, as those of R Clusii
are, under the name of Avignon berries. The juice of the French berries when ripe, and mixed with alum,
is the sap green of the painters; but if the berries be gathered late in the autumn, the juice is purple. The
bark affords a beautiful yellow dye. The inner bark, like that of elder, is said to be a strong cathartic, and to
excite vomiting. The berries operate briskly by stool, but occasion thirst and griping. It is said by Woodville
that the flesh of birds which feed on them is purgative.
R lycioides furnishes the wood of which the Monguls make their images, on account of its hardness and
orange red color.
R saxatilis greatly resembles R catharticus. The berries are used to dye the Maroquin or Morocco leather
yellow.
R. theezans has leaves like the common tea, which are used as such by the poor of China, and called Tia.
[Otbtek.)
R frangula has dark purple berries, which are purgative, like those of the common buckthorn. Gathered
before they are ripe they dye wool green and yellow ; when ripe, blue-gray, blue, and green. The bark dyes
yellow, and with preparations of iron, black. From a quarter to half an ounce of the inner bark boiled in
small beer, is a sharp purge In dropsies or constipations of the bowels in cattle, it is a very certain purgative.
The flowers are particularly grateful to bees. Goats devour the leaves voraciously ; and sheep will eat them.
Charcoal prepared from the wood is used by the makers of gunpowder. The berries of this species, and
also of the comus, are said to be brought to market and sold for those of the buckthorn ; but they are euQj
distinguished, the true buckthorn having four seeds, this two, and the cornus one.
K. hybridus is the offspring of R arpinusand alaternus, first procured by I.'Heritier about 1778.
R alaternus is an ornamental evergreen, with mellifluous blossoms, much frequented by bees. It is some-
times confounded with the Phillyrea; but they may be easily distinguished by the porition of their leaves
which are alternate in these, but placed opposite by pairs in that It is a rapid growing shrub, and useful foi

504. (Ennfilia. From oi»«rXi/{, vinous. Its little fnrlt, full of juice, resembles the berry of a grape. The
Rhamnus volubilis and lineatus belong to this genus, and are beautiful little climbing plants, but rather
impatient of cold.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
505. Paliurus. TlccXiueo; is the Greek name of a place. The city of Paliurus was situated on the coast of
Africa over against Candia. Paliurus australis is a handsome free flowering, but very prickly shrub : it has broad
roundish buckler-shaped seed-vessels, which have borders like the brims of a hat, the footstalks being fastened
to the middle. From this singular appearance of the fruit, like a head with a broad-brimmed hat on, the
French call it porte chapeau. This shrub is by many persons supposed to be that from which the crown of
thorns which was put upon the head of Jesus Christ was composed ; the truth of which is supported by many
travellers of credit, who affirm that this is one of the most common shrubs in the country of Judea; and from
the pliableness of its branches, which may easily be wrought into any figure, it may aflbrd a probability.
Hasselquist, however, is of opinion, that it was a species of Rhamnus, called therefore by Linnaeus R. Spina
Christi. j r
506. Zizyphus. A name altered by the Greeks from asafifa, its name in the East. Vide SJiaw's Voyage,
47. SuppL It is called Zizohf in Arabic, Golius. Z. Lotus, is the true Lotus of the Lotophagi. It is a prickly
branching shrub, with alternate, small, blunt, three-nerved leaves, solitary flowers, and the fruit a spherical
drupe, the size of a wild plum, sweet and harmless ; inclosing a small, round, bony, two-celled nucleus ; first
green, but when ripe tinged with saffron-color. It is found on the eastern as well as the western extremity of
the African desert ; and Major Rennel thinks he has seen it on the Ganges. Dr. Shaw found the fruit com-
mon in Barbary ; it was sold in the markets, cattle fed with it, and a liquor drawn from it. Mr. Park found it
very common in all the kingdoms which he visited : he describes the fruit as small farinaceous berries, of a
yellow color and delicious taste. The natives, he says, convert them into a sort of bread, by exposing them
some days to the sun, and afterwards pounding them gently in a wooden mortar, until the farinaceous part is
separated from the stone. This meal is then mixed with a little water, and formed into cakes, which, when
dried in the sun, resemble in color and flavor the sweetest gingerbread. A gruel is next made from the meal
which still adheres to the stones. The Greeks supposed the people who ate the lotus to be confined to an
extent of sea-coast on the north of Africa, including the gulphs of Syrtes. The plant grows readily in our
greenhouses, and might be fruited if thought desirable. It is propagated bv ripened cuttings planted in sand
under a hand-glass.

Z. jujuba is a middle-sized tree, with ovate leaves, pale yellowish flowers, and red oval fruit, about the size
of olives, inclosing a stone of the same shape. They are sweet, and eaten in the Fast Indies and China.
Z. vulgaris is a middle-sized branching tree, bearing a sattron-colored drupe shaped like an olive, but smaller.
The plant grows wild in Calabria, and is cultivated in other parts of Italy, and iu Spain. The fruit is eaten
green or dried as a sweatnie.it. It is common in China, Japan, Syria, ftc. and is said to have been first intro-
duced into Italy from the latter country in the time of" Augustus. All the species are readily increased by
ripened cuttings planted under a hand-glass.
507. Cetastrus. From zryxs, the latter season. The ancients considered the holly, the Genista, and the
Celastros, the trees which ripened their fruit latest The ( clastros of the ancients is thought to have been a
kind of Fuonymus, to which this genus is nearly allied It consists of shrubs or small trees, with alternate
leaves, and numerous small (lowers. The plants are of easy culture, but of no great beauty.
508. Senacia. A genus divided by M. de Lamarck from Celastnis, and founded upon the Celastrus undu-
latus of L'Heritier
509. Euonymus. From tu, well, and <»siut, a name, well named. The application of the name is, however,
obscure to us. ESuonymui was also a Heathen divinity ; according to Epimenides she was the mother of the
Furies by Saturn. Pusam, or Bonnet de Pritre, Fr., Spindetbaum, (ier., and fusaggime. Hal. The species form
neat little trees of no great beauty or use. E. europaea is called pnek-uood, from the u<e ol the wood for-
merly as skewers. E americana best merits culture, and next, E. latifolia. They are easily increased by
seed or ripened cuttings.

This is a genus of North American plants, one species of which, C. americana, is very common in gal
The leaves are dried in Carolina and used as tea, and the root to dye wool a Nankeen cinnamon color. The

History, Use, Propagation, Culture.
512. Pomaderris. From rriJfta, a lid, and Ssppi?, a skin, on account of the membranous lid with which the
cells of the capsule are covered. New Holland shrubs, with the habit of Ceanothus, from which they are dis-
tinguishable only by their fruit. Cuttings root freely in sand under a hand-glass.
513. Mangifera. From Manga or Manghos, the vernacular name of the fruit, and fero, to bear. This is
a large spreading tree, bearing a fruit in great estimation in the East. The wood is brittle, brown, and used
only for indifferent works. The leaves are seven or eight inches long, and two or more broad, lanceolate,
entire, of a shining green, and sweet resinous smell. The flowers are produced in loose bunches at the ends of
the bran-hes. The fruit is a berried drupe, large, flattened like a lens, kidney-shaped ; the flesh sort and
pulpy, like a damascene plum j the shell almost kidney-shaped, of a leathery crustaceous substance, and one-
celled. This fruit, when fully ripe, is yellow and reddish, replete with a fine agreeable juice ; some are full of
fibres, and the juice runs out of these on cutting, or with a liftle handling; but those which have few or no
fibres are much the finest ; they cut like an apple, but are more juicy, and some are as big as a large man's
fist It is esteemed a very wholesome fruit, and, except very fine pine-apples, is preferable to any fruit in
India ; gentlemen there eat little other fruit in the hot months ; but if no wine be drank with it, the Mango
is apt to throw out troublesome boils, at least with new comers, which are, however, conducive to health. In
Europe we have only the unripe fruit brought over in pickle
Loureiro remarks, that there are many varieties, differing chiefly in the figure, size, color, and taste of the
fruit, as apples and pears do in Europe. Retzius, on the contrary, affirms, that there are certainly several dis-
tinct species ; the number of stamens in some being double ; the racemes in others compound ; the fruit kidney-
shaped, globular, fleshy, almost juiceless, &c.
According to Sweet, " the Mango ripens fruit in this country, when the plants are of a good size. Sandy loam,
or a mixture of loam and peat, is most suitable to it, and the pots should be well drained, as the plants are apt to
get sodden with too much water. Fresh seeds from the West Indies vegetate freelv. The plant may also be
increased from cuttings, which root best in sand under a hand-glass." (Bot. Cult. 77.) '
Knight, Hallet, and some other horticulturists are at present cultivating this tree with a view to its fruit
Knight recommends for such trees, training the shoots downwards, and at no great distance from the glass.
There are trees in the garden of Earl Powis which must bear very soon.
514. Schrebcra. Named after John Chr. Daniel Schreber, a German botanist, chiefly known by an edition of

and Miscellaneous Particulars.
Linnaeus's Genera Plantarum, which he published in 1789, in which he unadvisedly altered all the names of
Aublet, without ever having seen the plants.
515. BUiardiera. Named in honor of Jacques Julien Labillardiere, a French botanist, who visited Syria, and
afterwards New Holland, in D'Entrecasteaux's expedition. His reputation as a botanist was almost annihilated
by the Prodromus Novae Hollandia? of Brown. The species of this genus are desirable as climbers for a con-
servatory, especially B. longiflora, which is a fast grower and an abundant flowerer , and when in fruit, its fine
blue berries make a handsome appearance. They thrive well in an equal portion of loam and peat ; and cut-
tings root readily in sand under a bell-glass : they may also be raised from seeds, which are produced in abund-
ance [Bot. Cult. 149.)
516. Elteodendrum. From Uuz, an olive, and it»S<e>, a tree ; a tree resembling an olive. Fl argam furnishes
an oil by expression from the fruit as in the common olive : it is used at table by the Moors, and in various
works by Europeans. The tree is rather tender, and requires protection during winter.
E australe, and the stove species, " grow freely in a mixture of loam and peat ; and rii>cned cuttings will
coon root in sand under a hand-glass." (3nm I
517. Diosma. From hot, divine, and oau.%, smell ; that is to say, a smell divine among the Hottentots, who
rub their greasy bodies with the powdered leaves of all the species, which they call Bueku. To European* the
smell is unpleasant This is a genus of handsome shrubs, bearing a general resemblance to ln-.itlis, but with
larger leaves. The flowers are in corymbs at the ends of the branches 1). ericoides, and other species, are the
kinds chiefly used by the Hottentots to scent the ointments with which they anoint their skin. Young cut-
tings root freely in sand under a bell-glass.
518. Adenandra. From ibrit, a gland, and »n* avhfc<, a male ; or, in composition of botanical names, a
stamen ; on account of the appendage of the stamen's. Tins is a very natural genus, easily recognized by its gland-
ular anthers. Sweet "found it succeed best in sandy peat, but some prefer mixing a little sandy loam with it
The young tender tops strike best, made into cuttings, and planted in a pot of sand under a bell-glass : it does not
require to be plunged in heat." (Bot. Cult. 127.)
519. Baryosma. From $*(*{, strong, and «ru.r, smell, in allusion to its fetid leaves. Plants with the habit
of Dio.-ma. t uttings root readily, taken oft in r.pencd wood, and planted in sand under a bcll-gluss.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
520. Agathosma. From a.yx!)-K, good, and e<r,u.ri, smell ; to be understood as Diosma. This genus resembles
that, and requires the same culture. The Hottentots use the leaves of A. pulchella dried and powdered, under
the name of Bucku, to mix with the grease with which they anoint themselves. It gives them so rank an
odor, that Thunberg says, he sometimes could not bear the smell of the men who drove his waggon.
521. Nauclea. A noble genus of Rubiaceous plants, bearing their flowers in round heads. The meaning of
the name is nowhere explained. One species, N. Gambir, is said to yield the gamboge gum of the shops.
522. Pittosporum. From t/tttj, resin, and ittojs*, a seed. The capsule is resinous. These are handsome
shrubs, with good tohage and pretty flowers. P. tobira, a native of Japan, is nearly hardy. Ripened cuttings
root freely in sand under a hand-glass, or one species may be grafted on another. '
52a Lasiopetalum. From ketrios, woolly, and titccXm, a petal ; in allusion to the flowers. Ripened cuttings
planted in sand under a hand-glass will root freely.
524. Thomasia. Named by M. Gay, after M. Thomas, an industrious collector of Swiss plants Divided
lately from Lasiopetalum.
525. Seringia. Also named by M. Gay, in honor of M. Seringe, an ingenious Swiss botanist, author of
Melanges de Botanique, and other useful works. Divided from Lasiopetalum, with which it agrees in habit and
appearance "

Cuttings root freely in sand in a moist heat
528. Calodendrum. From x<0.o<, fine, and JivJ»o», a tree. Fine indeed, with its beautiful foliage and splendid
flowers. This is a Cape genus, and is generally su|>posed to be one of the finest trees known there ; its fruit
bears great resemblance to a chestnut, but seldom arrives here perfect It grows freely in an equal mixture of
loam and peat ; and ripened cuttings root readily in pots of sand under a hand-glass. (Hot. Cult. 159.)
529. Toddalia. Kaka Toddali is the Malabar name of the shrub. Cuttings root readily in sand under a

530. Bursaria. From bursa, a pouch ; the capsules resemble those of Thlaspi Bursa Pastoris so much, that
LabUlardiere fancied he had found a cruciferous tree when he discovered the plant in New Holland " This is a
pretty plant It is very desirable for a greenhouse or conservatory, being an abundant flowerer, and very showy
when covered all over with its elegant little white flowers ; an equal mixture of sandy loam and peat is thi I c i
soil for it ; and young cuttings are not difficult to root in sand under a bell-glass." IBvt. Cult. 155.)

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
cies of Cedrela. This tree shoots out many side branches towards the top, which are furnished with winged
leaves, composed of 16 or 18 pair of leaflets, so that they are sometimes near three feet long. The flowers are on
a branching raceme, and the fruit a woody capsule about the size of a pigeon's egg. The bark, leaves, and fruit
have, when fresh, a smell like assafatida, but the timber has a pleasant smell In the British West India
islands the tree has the common name of cedar. The trunk is so large as to be hollowed out into canoes and
periaguas, for which purpose it is extremely well adapted ; the wood being soft, it may be cut out with great faci-
lity, and being light, it will carry a great weight on the water. There are canoes in the West Indies which have
been formed out of these trunks forty feet long and six broad : the wood is of a brown color, and has a fragrant
odor, whence the title of cedar has been given to it. It is frequently cut ii.to shingles for covering houses, and
is found very durable ; but as the worms are apt to eat this wood, it is not proper for building ships, though it is
often used for that purpose, as also for sheathing of ships. It is often used for wainscoting of rooms, and to
make chests, because vermin do not so frequently breed in it, as in many other sorts of wood, this having a very
bitter taste, which is communicated to whatever is put into the chests, especially when the wood is fresh ; for
which reason it is never made into casks, because spirituous liquors will dissolve part of the resin, and thereby
acqu ire a very bitter taste Cuttings of Cedrela strike root under a hand-glass in sand.
532. Hovenia. Named after David Hoven, a Dutch commissary in Japan, who gave facilities and encourage-
ment to Thunberg while in that country. A small tree, nearly hardy. Its fruit is eaten in China and Japan, and
is said to resemble a Bcrgamot pear in taste.
533. Brunia. So named after Cornelius Brim, a traveller into the Levant and Russia at the end of the last and
beginning of the present century. This, Sweet observes, " is a pretty Cape genus ; its species are pretty bushy
shrubs, with heath-like leaves, and are handsomest while young. The flowers are not so showy as in many other
genera, but some of them are very elegant. A sandy peat soil suits them best, with a moderate supply of water ;
and young cuttings planted in sand under a bell-glass will strike root freely." (Bot. Cult. 155.)
554. Brosstea. Gui de la Brosse was physician to Louis XIII, and in 1626 procured the establishment at
Paris of the Jardin des Plantes, of which he was the first director. A very doubtful plant. It is said to be a
shrub like a Cistus, with scarlet flowers half an inch long.
535. lira. From «Vi«, the Greek name of the willow. The name Salix having been given to the modern
wdlow, that of Itea has been applied to a plant resembling the willow in leaves and place of growth. This is :i
handsome plant which thrives well either in pent-soil or sandy loam, and is increased bv layers.

and Miscellaneous Particulars.
536. Cyrilla. In honor of Dominico I'yrilli, professor of medicine at Naples, and a fellow of the Royal
Society of London. He published, in 17SK, a work upon the rare plants of Naples, which is now one of the
scarcest of botanical works. This is a pretty shrub. Young cuttings will root under a bell-glass in sand, but
not verv freely.
537. Claytonia. In memory of Mr. John Clayton, who collected plants chiefly in Virginia, and sent them to
Gronovius, who published them in his Flora Virginica. C. perfoliata is very hardy, and is not easily eradicated
where once introduced. It gro • s on the poorest soil, vegetates early, and the whole of the herbage gathered
and boiled makes a very tender spinagc.
538. Impatient. A metaphorical name given to these plants on account of the elastic force with which their
capsules burst, and scatter their seeds upon the slightest touch. I. Halsamina is one of the most beautiful of
popular annuals, forming a shewy cone of finely variegated carnation-like flowers. The prevailing colors of the
petal! are red and white, the former extending to every shade of orange, purple, scarlet, lilac, pink, and espe-
cially carnation or flesh color. Those are esteemed the most beautiful varieties which have the Mowers double,
and striped in the manner of a flake or bizarre carnation : but none of the varieties are permanent or can be
continued by seeds, and the plant does not root readily by cuttings. The way to procure very large plantl is to
sow early in the season, as in March, to commence transplanting into 3-inch pots as soon as the plants have two
proper leaves, and to shift every week or ten days into pots a size larger every time, till at last they are in pots of
the largest or of a very large size, and in the richest light mould. The plants should be kept all the time in a
hot-bed or pit, plunged', and with abundance of room ami air, and the heat of the melon or pine l-airweather,
bv transplanting only three or four times from No. 48. pots to those of eight inches diameter raised, produced
balsams " four feet high, and hfteen feet in circumference, with strong thick stems, furnished with side
branches from bottom to ton, and these covered with large double flowers." {Hurt. Trans, iii. 4( .6.1
The juice of the balsam, prepared with alum, is used by the Japanese to dye their nails red. {T/tunbcrg.)
1. Nolitangcre, AV me touch-z pas, Fr., Springsame, Ger., and Elba Impatunta, Ital, is the onlv species found
wild in Europe. When the seeds are rii>e, upon touching the capsules, they are thrown out with considerable
force : hence the names Impatiens and Nolitangcre. In the day-time the leaves are expanded, but at night they
hang pendent, contrary to what is observed in plants, which from a deficiency of moisture, or a too great per-
spiration from heat, commonly droop their leaves during the day. Only the goal is -aid to eat this plant

539. Sauvagesia. In honor of Jacques Boissier de Sauvages, a French botanist, who died in 1767. He pub
lished a Flora of Montpellier, and other works. A genus of small herbaceous plants, more singular than
beautiful.
5+0. Viola. The ancients feigned that violets were the first food of the cow Io, one of Jupiter's mistresses.
This is an extensive genus of low herbs, mostly with violet and white flowers, and well adapted for the flower-
border, rock-work, or for growing in pots. V. odorata is a favorite flower, on account of its fragrance and early
appearance. It is a native of every part of Europe, in woods, amongst bushes, in hedges, and on warm banki

growing promiscuously and flowering in winter. Hassclquist found it in Palestine, Thunberg >n Japan, and
Loureiro in China, near Canton. The double purple and the Neapolitan are the most esteemed varieties : the
latter forces well, and where there is a stove or warm pit, may be had from Christmas to April, when others are
in flower in the open air.
In medicine, the flowers of violets act as a laxative, and the syrup is used by chemists to detect an acid or an
alkali : for this purpose the V. odorata is cultivated to some extent at Stratford upon Avon M ithcrmg )

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
V. hirta and canina bear a considerable resemblance to V. odorata ; but the first may be distinguished by its
hairy petioles, and the last by its flowers being inodorous.
V. arborescens is readily propagated by young cuttings planted under a hand-glass.
541. Ionidium. From m, a violet, and iijioy, similar, on account of its resemblance to a violet, from which it
is by some thought not to be generically distinct.
542. Phylica ; in Greek fikuxn, and should therefore be written Phi/yea. The plant of the ancients is not
known. Some think it was the Holly. P. ericoides occupies large tracts of ground about Lisbon, in the same
manner as heath occupies many lands in England. Young cuttings of all the species root readily in sand under
a bell-glass.
543. Plectronia. From xXiscreov, a spur. The tree is furnished with stiff spines like the spurs of a cock.
544. Conocarpus. From xmos, a cone, and xtttros, a fruit : its fruit resembles the cone of an alder. Tropical
trees, with alternate entire leaves and small heads of yellowish flowers.
545. Cyphia. From xvtpot, curved, on account of its curved stigma. Small Cape plants resembling Lobelia.

W& LigMfoolia. Named after the Rev. John Lighttoot.an English clergyman, and author of the first Flora
Scotica. The genus is very nearly related to Campanula, from which it is by some thought not different
547. Jasione. A name applied by Pliny to an eatable plant J. montana so resembles ScaHoaa, as to be often
mistaken for a plant of that genus. Linnaus gives a curious account of the process of fecundation in this
plant, from which may be observed its affinity to Syngcnesia, where it wa6 first placed,
548. Lagrecin. From Xa^a*, a hare, and ,v*of, a residence. The little seeds envelope I in the downy uivolu-
rrum have been likened to young leveiets in a hare's form. The seeds should be sown in autumn soon alter
they are ripe, otherwise, if this is deferred till spring, they commonly remain a vear, and sometimes two or
th rce years, before they grow.
649, Hcdt-ra. A name for which many etymologies have been ofTered. The !>est explanation is, that it has
boon derived from hedra, «ord, in Celtic. Lierre, Fr. H. helix is a valuable ornamental evergreen for cover-
ing naked buildings or trees, for training into fanciful shapes, as of human figures, &c on skeleton- of wire-

bees and flies, when little other food is to be had. The berries increase during the winter, are full formed iu
February, and ripen in April ; furnishing food for wild pigeons, blackbirds, thrushes, &c. in the spring. Black-
birds, and several other birds, build their nests in the stumps of ivy tufts. Sheep are fond of the leaves, espe-
cially during severe weather. The ancients held ivy in great esteem, and Bacchus is represented crowned with
it to prevent intoxication.
H. Helix vegeta, the giant or Irish ivy, perhaps a distinct species, is a native of the island of Madeira.
550. Ribes. The name of an acid plant mentioned by the Arab physicians, and supposed to be the plant now
called Rheum Ribes. R. grossularia is so called because its berries resemble little half-ripe figs, — grossi. This
is a genus of well known shrubs ; some of them much cultivated for their fruit. R. rubrum, the common red
currant, is the Groseilles en grappes, or Groseilles d'ovtre mer, Fr-, Gemeine Johannisbeere, Ger., and Uvetta,
Ital. The English name currant is evidently from the similitude of the fruit to that of the grape of Zante,
which dried forms the corinths or currants of the shops. The fruit has an agreeable sub-acid taste, and is gene-
rally relished both at the dessert and in pies and tarts. Equal weights of fruit and pure sugar, put over the
tire, yield a liquor which forms a most agreeable jelly, used as a sweetmeat to eat with hare, venison, and
Welch mutton, to flavor punch, and as a medicine. It is also much used for making wine, and is grown 10 a
considerable extent for that purpose in Essex, Kent, and about Pershore in Worcestershire. The prin-
cipal varieties are the white, and pale or Champagne; but any number of varieties may be procured
from sowing the seeds ; from which, however, none superior to those in general use have been hitherto
originated.
The culture of the red currant is known to every countryman. It grows freely by cuttings of last year's
wood, which should be of sufficient length to form a handsome plant, with a clean stem, ten inches high. It
grows in any soil, but prospers best in one loamy and rich. The best flavored fruit is produced from plants in
an open free situation, but they will grow under the shade of walls or trees, and either as low bushes or trained
against walls or espaliers. They bear chiefly from spurs, and therefore, in pruning, most of the young wood
is cut to within two or three buds of that where it originated.
R nigrum, the black currant, is common in moist woods in Russia and Siberia, where a wine is made of the
berries alone, or fermented with honey, and with or without spirits. In Siberia they make a drink of the
leaves : these tincture common spirits so as to resemble brandy ; and a few of them dried and mixed with black
tea, answer all the purposes of the green material Many persons dislike the very peculiar flavor of the berries

of the black currant, which are therefore not much used in the k>'/hcn or dessert, and seldom in wine making.
They make a jelly or jam in estimation as a gargle for inflammatory sore throats.
The culture of the black currant is similar to that of the red ; but as it is less apt to bear on spurs than on
young wood, the shoots are not so much shortened in this as in the other. It is singular that no varieties have
been raised of this species, nor will it produce hybrids, as far at least as has been tried with the other cultivated
sorts of Rlbes.
R. Grossularia and K. uva crispa are the rough and smooth gooseberries; Groscille, Fr., Juhannisbeere, Ger.,
and Uvasj ina , It.il. ; in universal culture and estimation in Britain, but not much known or esteemed in any
other country. The climate of France, Italy, and Spain is too warm ; and the summers of many parts of the
north of Europe too rapid for their attaining a good size. They are, however, more in vogue now in the latter
countries than they have ever been before ; but as the quality of the fruit soon degenerates when the plants
are not kept in high cultivation, it can never become very popular in countries where the pear, vine, fig, and
olive grow freely, and which being planted and once established in the soil, grow and bear for ages with very
little care.
The varieties of the gooseberry are very numerous, and yearly increasing in I-ancashire and other counties
where the fruit is grown for prizes, by raising from theseed. These new varieties, however, are valued BUM BC
cording to the size of the berry, than its flavor, or the prolificacy of the plant ; so that few so originated an tit
to be added to the list of table or kitchen fruit. Twenty-five pennyweights is considered a gloat weight lor a
gooseberry, but some have been raised a few dwts. heavier. (See the Manchester Qaoweberrp Book, pub. annually.]
The gooseberry is generally propagated by cuttings, and trained as a dwarf bush, or sometime* on espalier
rails : one variety, the green-gage, makes very neat half-standards, and bears better in thi i state than as a bush.
They require a loamy soil, an open airy situation, and yearly attention to pruning, ami refreshing their roots
with manure and stirring the surface.
551. Gronovia. In honor of John Frederick Gronovitis, a learned botanist at Leyden. This is a trailing plant
hke the cucumber, with broad hairy leaves, which sting like the nettle. Treated like the melon, it will pro-
duce ripe seeds, but is a plant of neither beauty nor use.
552. Achyrantlirs. From i-xW* chaff", and «►$<*, a flower, in allusion to the rhafl'y nature of the floral
envelopes. This genus is of easy culture, but little ticatity. All root freely by cuttings. A |M.rrigcnv i» the only
handsome species.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
553. Philoxerus. From tpiXo; , a lover, and f»jfo?, arid ; a plant delighting in sandy soiL The species resemble
Gomphrena or Achyranthes.
554. Desmoch&ta. From Zur/j.o;, a bond, and xecirx, a sheath, in allusion to the coherence of the flowers in
their heads. It was called Pupalia by Jussieu, from its Malabar appellation. Plants nearly related to Achyr-
anthes, in which they were included by Linnams.
555. Illecebrum. A name of Pliny, designating a kind of wild purslane. It is now applied to singular little
weed-like plants, with white scarious stipules to their leaves.
556. Atternanthera ; that is to say, alternate anthers, those organs being by turns fertile and barren.
557. Paronychia. Something which cures whitlows, or maladies of the finger nails, called by the Greeks
rraeovvxia. These are dwarf plants which grow in light soil, and are well adapted for pots or rock-work.
558. Chenolea. From ^tjv, a goose, and o/ra, an olive. The leaves are silvery, like those of the olive; the plant
humble like the Goosefoot. This plant is noticed for its silvery leaves : it is propagated by young cuttings
planted under a hand-glass.
559. Anychia. A word with the same meaning as Paronychia (in No. 557.\ and a £enus with similar habits.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
which measured eighteen inches in width, and seven inches in height from the top of the stalk, thick, full and
of the most intense purplish red. (Hort. Trans, iv. 322.) To produce this, the great object was to retard the
protrusion of the flower-stalk. Hence, a rich compost was employed, the plants put first into pots of four inches
diameter, and then transplanted to others a foot in diameter; the object being not to compress the roots as that
has a tendency to accelerate the flowering of all vegetables. The plants were placed close to the glass in a heat
of from /() to 100 degrees, all side branches removed, and pigeon-dung water used in watering Had the
shifting! from pot to pot been more frequent, it appears probable the size might have been still greater
566. Gomphrena. Gromphrena is a name applied by the ancients to a plant bearing red and green leaves on
the same stem; probably our Amaranthus tricolor. G. globosa is a popular tender annual, valued for its
heads of flowers, which, if gathered before they are too far advanced, will retain their beauty several vears
I he other species propagate readily by cuttings under a glass.
567. Motlia. So called from its softness. The species are small weeds.
568. Glaux. From yXnvxwv, a name under which Dioscorides describes a maritime plant with glaucous
leaves. This plant is maritime, and has glaucous leaves. A pretty little plant, and well adapted for pots and
rock work. It will grow at a considerable distance from the sea in sand kept moist
569. pesium Athemaua says, on the authority of Timachides. that this plant was'called <V v,<rE~i o v, because it
formed part ol the garland presented by Theseus to Ariadne. If this be so, the accent should be placed on the
penultimate and not on the antepenultimate syllable. It is, however, verv certain that the Thesion of the an-
cients had no resemblance to that ot the moderns, which is a genus of little obscure plants or weeds

573. Melodinus. So named by Forstcr, from p-rMv, an apple, and biv.u, to turn round ; this plant bearing a
round fruit like an apple, and having a twining stem by which it climbs trees. It is a very smooth shrub, with
oblong-ovate leaves, and nearly allied to Rauwoltia. Cuttings root readily in sand under a hand glass, This,

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
575 Cryptostegia. From x;vrrt>;, concealed, and -r'-yyi, a covering. The name was suggested to Mr. Brown
by the circumstance of the enclosure of the corona within the tube of the corolla, and its not being exposed to
\ lew, rta in the other neighbouring genera.
'Y7i>. Hcmidesmus. From i/tave, half, and iaruos, a bandage ; in allusion to the incomplete coherence of the
anthers with the stigma, by which the genus is principally distinguished from Periploca. Cuttings root readily
in sand in heat.
577 Stcarmme. The meaning of this word is very obscure. None of the explanations which have been
offered of it are even tolerable. Culture as in Periploca.
578. Microloma. From fux^tn, small, and xSu.tt,, a fringe ; but the application is unexplained by the author
of the name. Small climbing shrubs, with opposite leaves and interpetiolar umbels.
579. Sarcostemma. From rx°xos, flesh, and y-^ti*, a crown ; on account of the thick succulent nature ol
the coronal processes.
580i, DiFtnia. Dimia appears to be an Arabic name. It has been applied by Forskahl to a species of Asclepias
referred hither. A genus of twining plants.
581. Cynanchum. From xvav, a dog, and a.yx:ii, to strangle. A word having the same meaning and appli-
cation as Apocynum. This is a genus of low shrubs and herbaceous plants, for the most part twining, and all
oi easy culture and propagation.
B I OrysUlma. From ol-vs, sharp, and rO.ua, a crown ; the corona being very much pointed.
5r>3. Gymnema. From yuutee, naked, and vrua, a thread, or, in botanical language, stamen j in allusion to
Okhkk II.

the peculiar structure of the stamens. The milk of Gymnema lactiferumis used instead of the Vaccine ichor,
and the leaves are employed 111 sauces in the room of cream.
581. Calotropis. From xuXc;, beautiful, and i-££<ra<, to turn, in allusion to the beauty of the flowers, which
continually turn towards the sun. This is a handsome free-flowering genus Young cuttings root freely in sand
under a hand-glass, but not crowded, as, if the leaves are injured, they are very apt to damp and get mouldy.
585. Tihchiditi. From hi;, twice, and ^li'n, to split; but the application is unexplained. Little trailing
plants with small oppo-ite fleshy leaves.
58d. Xysmtilobium. From lurua, a fragment of a thing, and >.»5«f, a division, on account of the minute
alternate divisions of the corona. The flowers of this genus are very large; those of X. grandiflorum are ot
the size and color of Fritillaria meleagris.
587. GompkocarptU. From ynu^o;, a club, and xx^-re;, fruit. A genus resembling Asclepias in habit, but
well distinguished by the inflated club-like fruit.
588. Atcleputs. The name of many ancient physicians. It is the Greek name of the Xsculapius of the Li-
ting. This is a genus of tall-growing herbaceous plants, which thrive best in pest or any very lif;ht soil. They
require a good deal of room to show their characters, and are readily propagated by seeds or dividing the roots. A.
syriaca is very odoriferous, and in Canada, when in flower, charms the traveller, especially when passing through
woods in the evening. The French there eat the tender shoots in spring as we do asparagus. The natives make a
fiigar of the flowers, gathering them in the morning when thev are covered with dew, ami collect the cot ton from
the |h»]s to fill their beds. On account of the silkiness of this cotton, Parkinson calls the plant Virginian silk

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
dried and reduced to powder, is frequently used by the negroes as a vomit, and hence its name of wild or
bastard Ipecacuanha.
A. vinceloxicum tame-poison) is so named because it was formerly esteemed an alexipharmick ; and it is
called swallow-wort from the fancied resemblance of the follicles or seeds to a swallow flying.
58% Gonololms. The derivation and meaning of this word have not been explained. The genus consists
chiefly of climbers of little beauty but easy culture.
590. Pergularia. From Pergu/a, trellis-work, which the plants are verv proper for covering. This is a
climbing genus, much valued for the fragrance of its flowers. It grows well in loam and peat, and cuttings
r «.t freely in sand under a hand-glass.
55M. Marsdenia. So named by Mr. R Brown, after Wdliam Marsden, li.q. the author of the excellent

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
pickled in vinegar ; but in general they are without use. According to Sweet, " the best soil for tnern is a
Bandy loam, mixed with old lime or brick rubbish ; if planted in a richer soil, they will thrive better for a
time and produce larger flowers ; but then they are very apt to rot off, particularly if they chance to get a little
too much water : a very little water serves them, except when in flower, when it may be given more freely.
They arc readily increased by cuttings, which should be laid to dry in the stove, till they begin to shrivel ;
(hen planted in pots they will root immediately. If planted as soon as taken off, when full of juice, they are
likelj to rot. [Bot. Cult. 109.)

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
Some of them may be increased by dividing at the root, but most of them seed freely ■ the seeds should be
•own as roon as ripe, they will then quickly vegetate, but if left till spring before they are sown they will not
come up till the second year. {Bot. Cult. 371.)
G. lutea has a thick root of a yellowish brown color, and very bitter taste. In Switzerland and Germany it
occupies extensive tracts of ground untouched by any cattle. It was formerly used as hops in brewing and is
at present the principal European bitter used in medicine. The root of G. purpurea is as thick as a man's
arm and two feet long ; it is extremely bitter, and used as a substitute for G lutea
G. acauhs and verna are two beautiful edging plants, and answer well in pots
601. Hydrolea. From vi»?, water, and tA«,«, oiL It is a water plant, and its leaves are viscous, as if they
were smeared with old oil. A very pretty plant with bright blue flowers.
602. Falkia. Named after John Falk, a Swede, born in 1725, died in 1774. He was professor of botanv in the
apothecaries' garden at St Petersburg, and followed Pallas during a part of his journey i» Siberia ? Upon his
re££" ^ committed suicide ; perhaps the only instance upon record of suicide among naturalists
603. Dtehondra. From 5,,-, double, and Xo,i?,,; grain; on account of the double nature of ' the capsule.
Little inconspicuous trailing plants, seldom seen or desired in collections.
604. Velezia. So named by Linnaeus, in memory of Christoval Yelezius, examiner first Dhvsician and
demonstrator of botany in the college of apothecaries at Madrid. A small weed native of the south of
France, resembling a dried up Gentiana. ' "dtlVe ot tne souU1 °'

(i07. Cussonia. In memory of Cusson, a celebrated botanist, who after laboring to complete the order of
umbellate plants, had all his labor annihilated by his wife, who in his absence used the paper upon which his
plants had been glued for household purposes. It is a genus of easy culture, and readily increased by cuttings
planted in sand and placed under a hand-glass.
OiS. Anabasis. One of the names given by the Greeks to the Equisetum. A small plant, quite similar to
some species of C'henopodium.
609. Saliola. From salsus, salt. From these plants, which are chiefly maritime, is obtained the kelp of our
shores. This is a genus of plants producing the alkaline salts called barilla, soda, potash, and kelp. N
them are herbaceous and annual, but some have shrubby stems.
S. kali, Qa/y or alqaly, Arabic. Bocnart,) is found on the sandy shores of most parts of the world, and
generally burned for soda for the glass manufacture.
S. soda is cultivated in I,angucdnc and also in Spain for making barilla ; but is reckoned inferior to S. satira,
which grows on the Spanish shores of the Mediterranean, and affords all the best soda consumed in El
'.t is called by us Spanish oi Alirant soda. In September, the crop is cut and laid in small heaps to dry. Thc-e
neaps are then collected and burned, forty or fifty of them in a hole, in the ground.
Soda is in common use in the manufacture of glass and soap; with sulphuric acid, it forms Glauber's salts;
with marine acid, common salt ; with the salt of Homberg, borax ; and with cream of tartar, Kochelle salt

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
611. ChenopodUim. From xv-t a goose, and ■xous, foot ; many species having large angular leaves ex
tremely similar to the webbed feet of a water-fowl. This is a genus of succulent herbs, with theil
leaves for the most part covered with powdery granules ; the whole plant of no beauty, but generally edible as
a pot-herb.
C Bonus Henricus is cultivated in some gardens as a perennial spinage, it being hardy and of early growth.
The leaves are sometimes applied to wounds, and for cleansing old ulcers.
C album is the most common of the species, and used to be boiled and eaten as greens ; but C. maritimum
is preferred to all the species for this purpose. The foreign species are of the easiest culture, and increased
either by seeds or cuttings.
C. maritimum, where it abounds, is burned with Salsola kali and other marine plants, to produce soda.
612. Beta. From belt, red, in Celtic. B. vulgaris, Beiteraue, or beet-radish, Fr. ; Bothe Biibe, Ger. ; and
Barba Bitttola, Ital., is a well known culinary root, used in salads either raw or boiled ; forming a beautiful
varnish; very much used as a pickle; preserved as a confiture; made a substitute for coffee; and yielding a

615. Utmus. From Elm, its name in Anglo-Saxon, Teutonic, Gothic, and nearly all the dialects of Celtic.
Hiis is a genus of hardy trees, most of them valued for their timber. The species, like those of the genus
Sa hx, are so nearly related as to be often confounded. Linnaeus considered all the European elms as forming
only one species. Ihe U. campestris and glabra are those most generally cultivated in Europe. U. campestris
grows also in Palestine, and Dr. Walker conjectures that it was originally brought from that country by the
I rusaders. It is a tall elegant tree, but produces much less valuable timber than the U. glabra. U. siiberosa,
often called the Dutch elm, is frequently grafted on the U. glabra, as is also the U. campestris in the Scotch
nur series. r

been long cultivated, chiefly in Essex, and is considered as naturalized. The leaves are strongly scented ; the
seeds, which are slightly aromatic, are used to cover the taste of senna, and in spices as currie powder, ami

History, Use. Propagation, Culture,
622 Erbium. From the Greek verb «»., to belch. Dioscorides positively declares that the plant is a
specific for all complaints arising from flatulence. These are singular plants, somewhat like thistles in
general appearance : they are generally of a bluish hue, prickly, and with large involucres, and dry coriaceous
'eaves. E maritimum has long been in esteem as an aphrodisiac ; the roots were formerlv and are now in
•ome cases, kept in the shops candied, and formed in Shakspeare's time the kissing comfits" of Falstaff. The
Arabs regard the plant as an excellent restorative, and English grooms often mix the dried plant with the com

625 D ucus. From Zauu, to make hot ; on account of its effects in medicine. D, Carota (from A'ar, red, in
Celtic), is well known for its esculent root. There are several varieties : the largest, and that best adapted lor
field culture, is called the Altrincham, from a village of that name in Cheshire. The early horn and orange
are the best garden sorts. The seeds do not retain their vegetative powers more than a year, for which reason
the cautious cultivator ought to prove them before sowing. The last week of March and first of April is the
best season for sowing for a main crop. On farms where a deep sandy loam occurs, few cro|» of the root kind
afford a more valuable return. In Norfolk and Suffolk they are a good* deal in use as a field crop, and cs|>ecially
near Lowestoft in the latter county.
626. Caucnlis. According to Linnaeus, derived from *i«, to trail along ; on account of the low habit
of the plants. It is supposed that Pliny's Caucalis was the same as the Caucalis grandi flora of the present
day.

History, U$e, Propagation, Culture,
627. Torilit. A name contrived by Adanson and adopted by Gartner, and other botanists. It probably, like
many of Adanson's words, has no meaning.
628. Oliveria. Named in honor of G. A. Olivier, a French botanist, who travelled in the East He pub-
lished a splendid work on insects, by which he is better known than by his botanical merits.
629. Ledeburia. So named by Professor Link, after M. Ledebure, the author of a Catalogue Horti Dorpa.
tensis, published in 1819 : in which work this plant stands as Tragium tauricum.
630. Myrrhis. This plant has been long in cultivation. Formerly the young leaves were put into salads ;
and the roots were boiled and eaten cold, or in tarts, and in a variety of sauces, or candied. The seeds are put
into soups in Germany, and in the north of England employed in polishing and perfuming oak floors and
furniture.
631. Bumum. From /3sw<x, a hill, because the plant grows in dry and elevated situations. Tare Noix, Fr.,
Frdnuss, Gcr., Castagno di terra, Ital. The roots of B. Bulbocastanum are or used to be dug up and eaten
raw by the jioorer classes. They are farinaceous, sweet, and supposed to be very nourishing. Swine are very
fond of them, and will soon become fat by feeding on them.
632. (Enanthe. From oim, a vine, and avft*, a flower. The CEnanthe, says Pliny, smells like the vine in
flower, and it is from that that it takes its name. This genus, like most of the aquatic umbelliferie, is chiefly
poiwnous. 03. Crocata is considered eminently so. The juice of the root or an infusion of the leaves is very
efficacious in cutaneous diseases : in large doses it produces a fatal tetanus. The herb is applied in poultices
to those ulcers that form in the eleft of the hoof of kine.

633. Crithmum. From xnlr,, barley. Its seed is very similar to a grain of barley. Saint Pierre Fr.,
Mca fenchet, Ger , ;nd rmochio marino, Ital. TheC. mantimum is found on stone walls, as well as by the
aca shore. The inhabitants, where it abounds, not only use it as a pickle, but as an ingredient in salads,
and as a pot-herb. In the garden it may be grown on beds of sand and rubbish, or in pots. Braddick an
ingenious horticulturist, cultivated it at Thames Ditton, in a sheltered dry situation screened from the
morning sun: he protected it by litter during winter, and in spring sprinkled the soil with a little powdered
barilla. " This I do" says he, " to furnish the plant with a supply of soda, since in its native place ol growth
it possesses the power of decomposing sea water, from which it tikes the fossil alkali, and rejects the muriatic
acid." With this treatment it flourished abundantly, producing an ample supply of leaves and shoots, wmen

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
Withering, the juice, in doses of from two to four ounces, either alone or with milk, every morning, is an excel-
lent alterative in cutaneous diseases.
S. sisarum (from Dgixer, its Arabic name, in which language it signifies carrot), Chervis, Fr., Zuckeiwiirtze..
Got., and Sisaro, Hal., is cultivated for its roots or tubers, which, boiled and eaten with butter, are sweet and
agreeable. A crop may either be raised from seed or offsets ; if from the former, sow in March or the begin-
ning of April, and when the plants come up, whether in rows or broadcast, thin them, so as nine or ten square
inches may be allowed to each plant. With the usual summer culture the roots will have attained their full
size in September, and may be taken up as wanted for use. In growing from offsets, allow about the same dis-
tance planting about the end of April, and giving the usual culture afterwards.
647. Sison. From the Celtic sizan, which signifies a running stream. Many of the plants grow in such
situations. This genus is called Honewort, from its being used formerly to cure a swelling in the cheek called
the Hone.
648. Cicuttx. A word used by Virgil (Eel. 2 and 5.), but of unknown meaning. C. virosa is poisonous to
mankind and kine, but not to horses, sheep, or goats ; the smell being weak in the spring, cows are apt to be
killed by it, hut afterwards the odour enables them to avoid it. C. maculata is used in medicine like
Conium maculatum.
649. Conium. Said by Linnaeus to be derived from xwe, powder, dust ; but the application of the terrq is
not evident. C. maculatum is a well known poisonous plant, lately admitted into the Materia Medics. Ac-
cording to Linnaaus, sheep eat the leaves, but horses, cows, and goats refuse them. Ray informs us, that the
thrush will feed upon the seeds, even when corn is to be had. Curtis says hemlock is eaten by few or no
insect*. The dried fistulous stalks of this and several other umbelliferous plants are called by the country
people kecksies. As a medicine, hemlock seems to act on the constitution in a great measure like opium.
650. Smyrnium. S/tvpa, is a synonym of yuu^a., myrrh. Its juice smells like myrrh, saith Pliny. Maceron,
Fr., Smyrnerkraut, Ger., and Maccrone, Hal. S. perfoliatum and olusatrum are or may be cultivated as
Asparaginous and salad plants, though they are now almost entirely supplanted by the celery, which they some-
what resemble in flavour. The seeds are sown in March in rows two feet apart, and afterwards thinned out
to six inches. As the plants advance, they are earthed up like celery, and, like it, are ready for use during
autumn and winter. Olusatrum is from o/us, pot-herb, and atrum, black, from the dark colour of its foliage.
Our English name, Alexanders, is certainly a mere corruption of Olusatrum.
651. Apium. From upon, water, in Celtic ; from the place where the plant'grows. A. Petroselinum, («t««,
stone, and selinum — Stone Selinum) Petsil, Fr., Petersilie, Ger., and Petroselina, Hal., is a well known season-
ing herb, and it is also sown among pasture grasses as likely to counteract the liver rot in sheep. There is a
variety called the Hamburgh or large rooted parsley, which is cultivated for its roots, which, as well as the

roots of the other varieties, communicate an agreeable flavor to soups and stews. The curled thick-leaved
variety is that most esteemed for soups and as a garnish : it is sown in drills, and should be thinned out when
it is so far advanced as to shew the finer curls of the leaves. It is too commonly left to grow as it came up
which makes it but a very inferior article for garnishes. The Hamburgh sort should be thinned so as each
plant may occupy ten or twelve square inches of surface.
A. graveolens is one of our most valuable salad plants, and is a remarkable instance of the effect of cultiva-
tion, being in its wild state, rank, coarse, and unfit to eat ; and blanched in the garden, sweet, crisp, juicy, and
of a most agreeable flavor. The green leaves are used in soups, and in Italy and the Levant, where the plant
is grown, but not blanched, this is its principal application. Here both the leaves and seeds are used in soups
and stews, and the blanched stalks in that way and also as a salad, either alone or in composition. One variety,
the Celeriac, is grown entirely for the root or base of the leaves, which assumes a bulbous form, is solid ana
white, and used either in soups or as a salad.
In order to produce excellent celery, a deep rich light soil is required, and especially a soil on a dry bottom. The
seed in the main crop is commonly sown in the beginning of April on a bed for transplantation ; the plants so
raised are commonly pricked out into other beds, and placed four or six inches asunder. At eight or twelve
inches height the plants so brought forward are transplanted into trenches for blanching. These trenches are
small open ditches of from six inches to a foot deep, and they are dug from two and a half to three feet apart
from each other, in order to admit of earthing up the plants to the height of two feet or more above the
natural surface. The excavated earth is laid in the intervals, and some dung is dug into the bottom of the
trenches. Along these the plants are inserted at four or five inches apart, and as they grow, the earth from
the sides of the trenches and from the wide intervals between them is applied to the plants in small layers at ■
time, till at the end of the autumn the ditches have become banks two or three feet nigh. The celery is now
fit to use, and by earlier and later crops this salad is had in perfection from August '>r September till May
following. Celery is grown to great perfection in Lancashire, where blanched stalks have been dug up four
feet six inches long, and weighing nine or more pounds, of the best quality. A variety of modes of cultivating
the celery are brought together in the Encyclopaedia of Gardening, which well deserve the |x-rusal of those
who aim at growing this root in the best manner.
652. JEgopodhtm. From oujj ouy<x, a goat, and rmi, a foot. Each of the parts of the leaf is split so as to re-
semble the cloven foot of a goat. The leaves of E. I'odagraria 6mcll like those of Angelica, and may be eaten
in spring salads.
653. Mcum. From uuot, very small, in allusion to the extreme delicacy of the leaves, which arc as fine w
hairs.

Ilis/ory, Use, Propagation, Culture,
654. Ancthum. From euOm, to burn, the plant being very heating. Large quantities of the seeds are yearly
imported into this country from the south of France. They are used in medicine as carminatives, and, as it
is said, in the manufacture of the British gin. No one has succeeded in growing the plant for a crop in this
country.
655. Carum. A native of Caria, according to Pliny, b. xix. c. 8. Carvi, Fr., Kiimmel, Ger., and Carvi, Ital.
C. Carvi is cultivated both in agriculture and horticulture : in the former for its seeds, which are used to flavor
cakes, to form sugar plums, to flavor spirits, and form a carminative distilled water. In the culinary art the
leaves are sometinv s used as an ingredient in salads, or as a pot herb, like parsley ; and the roots are said to be
superior in flavor to those of the parsnip.
656 Cnidium. The ancient name of an herb, supposed to have been an Orach, and certainly having no affi-
nity to the plants now called Cnidium.
657. Bupleurum. From Bis, an ox, and ■rXtu^ot, a rib. How applied is not apparent. These are plant? re-
rcarkabk among the rmbelliferous tribes for having simple leaves.

658. Hydrocotyle. From Ciut, water, and «crvAt), vessel ; its leaf is round and a little depressed in the
centre, so as to hold a drop of water. This is a genus of aquatics and marsh plants of no great beauty, their
flowers being obscure and of dull colors. H. vulgaris, the H'asternabel of the Germans, has been luppwed to
communicate the liver rot to sheep. This is a vulgar error, arising from the rirrumstaiire of the fluke or
flounder insect (F'asciola hepatica) being found in marshes where this plant, and also the Droeera and Puieui-
cula, abound, as well a6 in sheep's livers. It is a known fact, however, that sheep never feed on any of these
plants.
659. Spananthe. From rxatix, rare, and a*Sof, a flower, in allusion to the small number of flowers in the
umbel.
660. Vlospermum. From eu>.ot, curled, and (rriftut, seed, on account of the membranous curled ribs of the
seed. A plant referred to Conium by Desfontaines, and to Cachrys by Sprengel, but very distinct from both.

travelled into the Holy Land, &c. and died at Smyrna in 1752. Author of Travels in Palestine. A remarkable
genus, supposed with some reason to be a monstrous alteration of a species of Tordylium.
667. Artedia. So named by Linnaeus, in honor of Peter Artedi, a Swedish naturalist, one of the first whi
attempted to divide umbelliferous plants into genera. His method was followed by Linnaeus, and was, perhaps,
not more defective than many of those which have been proposed in modern days. He died in 1735.
668. Ferula. From ferire, to strike The stalks were used as a rod for children, because they made more
noise than harm. F. communis is one of the tallest of herbaceous plants. The flower-stalk soon becomes
dry after the seeds ripen, and then the Sicilians take out the pith and use it for tinder. It is very abundant in
Apulia, where it is eaten by buffaloes. Gerarde says, it grew to the height of fifteen feet in his garden in
Holbom. The drug asafceti'da is obtained from one or more species of this genus natives of Persia ; and one
species, the F. asafcetida, though introduced to our gardens in 1782, is now lost. The drug is the inspissated
juice of the root, which being bared of earth and cut across at the top, it oozes out, and when dry, is scraped off
as opium is from the capsule of the poppy. The plant grows three feet high, with yellow flowers and hemlock-
like leaves and habit.
669. Laserpitium. The Latin name of the Silphion of the Greeks. D'Herbelot sayj, that ine natives of
Africa called the riant si/p/ii or serni, whence the Latins formed lac terpitium and l.nsrrpitium. {Ribl. Or.

like a bug. Gmelin .informs us, that the inhabitants of Kamtchatka, about the beginning of July, collect the
footstalks of the radical leaves, and after peeling off" the rind, which is very acrid, dry them separately in the
sun. and then tying them in bundles, lay them up carefully in the shade in bags ; in this state they are covered
with a yellow saccharine efflorescence, tasting like liquorice; this being shaken off, is eaten as a great delicacy
From the stalks thus prepared and fermented with bilberries the Russi^p distil an ardent spirit, which, Gmelin
says, is more agreeable to the taste than spirits made from corn A kffidof ale is brewed from the leaves and
6eeds in Poland and Lithuania, and attempts have been made to extract sugar from this plant, but fortv |>ounris
of the dried stalks only yielded a quarter of a pound of powdery sugar. The young snoots may be eaten as
asparagus. Rabbit! and swine are fond of the leaves, but not horses. H. sibiricum is used in the same man.

673. Tortiyliiim. Bodanu i St.qiel thinks that the derivation of the name is to be found in t»>>c<, a lathe,
and ,/>.*, to turn, because the seeds seem as if turned in a lathe. But this seems to be a commentator i
gue-« only.
674. Astranlia. From <i.oeo», a star, and atn, similar ; so called with reference to the beautiful starlike dis-
position of the involucrum of all the species, and of A. minor in particular.
67.i. '/.ctima. Named by Hoffmann, in honor of the three famous brothers Zosimades, the celebrated patro'i*
of so many fine editions of the Greek classics. A remarkable plant, formerly referred to fleracieum, native of
most of the eastern parts of the world.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
which account all vascular s.ibstances, with firm outside but very cellular structure inside, were said to be
Ruminosa. The seeds of this genus are of that nature. There was also a Dr. Rumy, professor of agriculture
in some Polish university.
677. Cachrys. One of the names given by the Romans to the Rosemary. According to Morison, the name
was derived from xouu, to grow hot, on account of the carminative qualities of the plant. The Cossacks of
the Jaik chew the seeds of C. odontalgica for pain in the teeth, and obtain relief by the copious salivation
which follows their use. This genus is well known by its corky large smooth seeds.
678. Hippomarathrum. From /Vre; iMt^a^em, horse-fennel, on account of its size compared with that of
common fennel.
679. Viburnum. This name is derived, according to the account of Sebastian Vaillant, from the Latin word
viere, to tie, on account of the pliability of the branches of some species. V. tinus (ritov, small, dwarf, tiny)
is one of the most ornamental of evergreen shrubs, with shining leaves and shewy white flowers, which
appear during the winter months. V. lucidurn and strictum are taller and more tender than the common
species, of which they are by many considered as only varieties.
V. lantana (from lento, to tie) grows chiefly on calcareous soils : it has pliant mealy twigs, and the bark
affords a bird lime.
V. opulus (alteration of populus) var roseum, if a most ornamental shrub, producing large white bunches of

680. Sambucus. A musical instrument called by the Latins sambura, is supposed to have been made of the
wood of this tree, on account of its hardness. The tree was always famous for this quality ; so that Pliny says it
consists of nothing but skin and bones. (6. xvi. c. .!9.) S. ebulus is supposed to prevent diseases in iwm if
used as litter : the root is violently cathartic, the leaves drive away mice, and the berries dye blue.
S. nigra with its varieties, and S. racemos.i, are very shewy trees in shrubberies when in flower and fruit.
S nigra is narcotic, purgative, and acrid ; the flowers in decoction are diaphoretic and expectorant . used to
flavor vinegar, and deleterious to turkeys. The French put layers of them in heaps or casks of apples, to whit h
they communicate a most agreeable odor. The berries are poisonous to jioultry ; but make a powerful wine
much in esteem among country people. As flic common elder will grow either exposed to the sea breeze or on
high mountains, it is recommended as a nurse-plant in forming plantations. To thrive and be productive as
a fruit tree however, it requires a deep, rather moist, and rich soil.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
are polygamous males, being mixed with the hermaphrodites. The species from the Cape of Good Hope
rarely flower in this country, and are chiefly cultivated for the sake of their foliage, which is neat and not
susceptible of injury from bad management.
R. Coriaria is used instead of oak bark for tanning leather, and it is said that that of Turkev is chiefly tan-
ned with this plant. The seeds are in common use at Aleppo at meals to provoke an appetite. Both leaves
and seeds arc used in medicine as astringent and styptic.
Ii. javanica in China affords an oil by bruising the berries and boiling them in water : they use it as a
varnish, but it does not keep its polish so well as the oil of It. vemix.
R. glabra has berries which dye red, and the branches boiled with the berries afford a black ink-like
tincture. This plant is like a weed in some parts of North America, where it overruns land left for a few
years in pasture.
K vemix affords the true Japan varnish, which oozes out of the tree on its being wounded, and grows thick
and black when exposed to the air. It is so transparent, that when laid pure and unmixed upon boxes nr
furniture, every vein of the wood mav be clearlv seen. With it the Japanese varnish over the posts of their
doors and windows, their drawers, chests, boxes, sevmitars, fans, tea cups, soup-dishes, and most articles of
Household furniture made of wood. The milky juice of the plant stains linen a dark brown. The whole
simib is in a high degree poisonous; and the poison is communicated bv touching or smelling an v part of it.
in torty. eight hours inflammation appears on the skin, in large blotches, principally on the extremities, and on
me glandular parts of the body : soon after small pustules rise in the inflamed parts, and fill with waterv
matter, attended with burning and itching. In two or three days the eruptions suppurate: after which the
vitlammation subsides, and the ulcers heal in a short time It operates, however, somewhat differently upon

H. Toxicodendron is poisonous to some ]>ersons, like R. vcrnix, but in a less degree. Kalm relates, thai ol
two sisters, one could manage the tree without being affected by its venom, whilst the other felt its exhalations
as soon as she came within a yard of it, or even, when she stood to windward of it, at a greater distance : that it
had not the least effect \i\xm him, though he had made many experiments upon himself, and once the juice
squirted into his eye ; but that on another person*! hand, which he had covered very thick with it, the skm,
a few hours after, became as a piece of tanned leather, and ptvled off afterwards in scales
It. pumila is another dangerous species. Lyons, the collector, suffered severely for several weeks, after only
collecting the seeds.
H. cotinus is cultivated for tanning leather near Valcimara in the Apennines, when it is (ailed Scot inn.

rot Thoy require no covering, but may be placed in any convenient situation." [Sweet.)

A small weed-like plant, with the habit of Chenopodium.
701. Lilium. IMn, in Celtic, signifies thread, whence X/vov, in Greek, and linum, and its derivations, in
Latin. L. usitatissimum, is a well known thread or clothing plant, which has been cultivated from the
remotest antiquity for its cortical fibres, or boon, which, when separated from the woody matter or harl.as it is
technically called by the glowers, forms the lint and tow which is spun into yarn, and wove into linen cloth
1 he seeds are sow n on well comminuted loamy soil, which is in good heart, in April, broadcast • during
summer weeds are carefully removed ; and when the plant is m full flower, or (if seed is desired) when the
seed capsules are ripe, it is pulled up by the roots, the capsules torn off by a comb, and the stalks tied in
bundles ami carried to a pond or pool of stagnated water. Into this water the bundles are thrown, and kept
under the surface by being loaded with planks, stones, &C for ten days or a fortnight, till an appearance of
decay or softness is indicated by the bark ; they are then taken out and spread on the grass, or on the gravelly
banks of a river for a fortnight, where the alternate dews and heats accelerate the progress of decay It is
next taken up, and when quite dry tied into bundles and stacked till wanted by the flax-cleaner Some cul-
tivators do not steep the flax in water, but only spread it on the surface of grass ground, which is called dew-
rctting, and has nearly the same effect as the other; but the more recent practice, not yet however very eo-
ncral, is neither to steep or dew-ret, but to dry, bind, and stack as in saving a crop of com, and afterwards' to
•cparatc the capsules and the fibre by machinery. By this process the fibre is obtained of much greater

Ktrcn^th ; there is less loss of seed, less demand for labor at a busy season, and the refuse of the operation forms
an excellent food for horses or cattle. The machines for breaking and cleaning flax are worked by hand, and
the best at present is considered that of Bundy. The process of steeping and spreading flax has the further
effect on the fibre of bleaching it : when the machine is used, the bleaching progress is eftected by steeping in
soft soap. Flax seed yields by expression a valuable oil; in powder it is much used in poultices; and the
refuse, after pressing for oil, forms a cake fit to feeibbroken-winded horses, to fatten cattle, and for manure.
L perenne may be used for the same purpose as the other : both species have been proposed by some gar-
deners to be adopted as border-flowers.
7(i2. Drotera. From i^etnx, dew, on account of the pellucid dew-like glands on the surface of the leaves,
whence also our Knglish name sun-dew. The famous Italian liqueur is called Rossoli, on account of the usage
of this plant in its composition. D. rotundifolia is an acrid caustic plant, by some supposed to occasion the
rot in sheep: it curdles milk, removes warts and corns, and takes away freckles and sunburn: distilled
with wine it produces a very stimulating spirit, and it was formerly much used as a tincture spiced and
sweeteneiL The leaf hair, support globules of clear liquor even in the hottest weather, are very irritable,
and close upon small insects that touch them, after which the leaf itself bends and holds the dead insect
imprisoned.
7u'). Commersonia. Named by Forster in memory of M. Commerson, the French traveller and botanist,
who accompanied Bougainville in his voyage round the world. He stopped at the Isle of France, where he
died in 1774, after having discovered an immense quantity of new plants. C. dasyphylla is a pretty flowering
shrub: both species grow freely from cuttings in sand under a hand-glass.

Class VI. — HEXANDItl A. 6 Stamens.
This class contains the most beautiful of the herbaceous plants of our gardens. With a few exceptions, it
is to a considerable degree a natural assemblage, comprehending a large proportion of those favorites of gar-
deners, the orders Amaryllideae, Asphodeleae, Bromeliacea?, Liliaceae, and Melanthacea?. The class also
;ncludes a few grasses and palms, some genera of Berberidea?, all Hypoxideae, and many Junces.
The Amaryllideae, or lilies of the hot-houses, consist of a number of beautiful species, the generic dis-
tribution of which is uncertain, and difficult to determine. Much attention has been paid to the subject
by Messrs. Ker, Herbert, and others ; by the former, perhaps, with the most success ; a great deal still
remains to be done. The limits of the genera are very obscure, and their extreme characters similar. Among
the Bromeliaceae are found the delicious pine-apple, and the curious Tillandsias, some of which are called
air-plants. The asparagus and the officinal squill are included in Asphodeleae. To the same class are
related the lily of the valley, the Solomon's seal, and many other curious little plants. The Phormium tenax,
which produces the strong flax of New Zealand ; the aloes, curious for their fantastic foliage ; the fragrant
tuberose ; the plantains, so valuable as an important article of food in all the tropics, are all contained in this
class. Hither also, are referred the valuable rice, the curious bamboo, and the rush, some of the species of
which are well known for their use in economical purposes, others as the most worthless weeds of our
heaths.
Hcxandria Trigynia is chiefly made up of the natural order Melanthaceae, among which the Colchicum
and Trillium are found.

History, Use. Propagation, Culture,
Ing the bulbs one season in an ice-house. Many fine bulbs of this genus, are annually imported from Holland
and some from Naples, especially the itahcus, which grows wild round that city in great beauty The genus
has been injudiciously separated into several by Haworth, whom however no one has followed.
712. Pancratium. A name given by the Greeks to a kind of Scilla. The word signifies all-force from

freely. It any plant happen to lose its heart, if it be kept dry, it will throw out abundance of sucker* which
is the readiest way of propagating it. (Bot. Cult. 89.) P. maritimum, illyricum, and carolinianum, are
hardy ; the other species are stove-plants. P. amancaes has yellow flowers, and is not less beautiful than

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
718. Lophiota. From /«<?«, a crest, on account of the little crest of the petals. It is a very rare North
American plant, and thrives best in pots set in saucers of water.
719. Argo/asia. From aeyoi, white, and \«.<rw, wool, on account of its calyx, which is white and velvety on
the outside. It requires the same culture as the last
720. Anigoxanthus. Named by Labillardiere, from uuffru, to raiso <p and «i3o;, a flower. Its flowers arc
raised upon very long conspicuous scapes. Curious New Holland plants with yellow or green flowers.
721. Musa. So named by Plumier, in memory of \ntonius Musa, the brother of Euphorbus, and the
the freedman of Augustus. Such is the sense in which Linnxus admits the word. But the Arabic name for
the plant, ?nauz, is a much more likely derivation. This splendid genus consists of species which have
perennial, roundish, solid, watery bulbs, with biennial, and sometimes longer enduring stems. The stems are
straight, erect, varying from five to twenty-five feet in height, simple, thick, round, smooth, fungous, watery,
and lamellatcd. The leaves are oblong, entire, from three to ten feet in length, and under two feet in width.
The flowers are in large terminating racemes, without a calyx or perianthium, generally whitish : the fertile
flowers occupying the lower, and the barren the upper, part of the raceme. The former are succeeded by
oblong, angular, fleshy berries, sweet, eatable, and containing many black seeds. They are natives of the old
world, and for the most part cultivated there : none appear to be natives of America.
M. paradisiaca rises with a soft herbaceous stalk fifteen or twenty feet high, with leaves often more than
six feet long, and near two feet broad. When the plant is full grown, the spike of flowers appears from the
centre of the leaves ; it is near four feet in length, and nods on one side. The fruit which succeeds the fertile
flowers on the lower part of the spike is eight or nine inches long, and above an inch in diameter, a little in-
curved, frith three angles; at first green, but when ripe of a pale yellow color. The skin is tough, and
within is a soft pulp of a luscious sweet flavor. The spikes of fruit are often so large as to weigh upwards of
forty pounds. Gerarde, and other old authors, name it Adam's apple, from a notion that it was the forbidden
fruit of Eden ; whilst others supposed it to be the grapes brought out of the promised land by the spies of
Moses. It is certainly one of the most useful fruits in the world, and seems to have migrated with mankind
into all the climates in which it can be cultivated. The fruit is so much esteemed by all Europeans who
settle in America, that the first thing they do in establishing a plantation is to begin with a Plantain waik ;
enlarging it as their family increases. Some or other of the trees are bearing most part of the year ; and
iheir fruit is often the whole food on which a family subsists. When used instead of bread, it is roasted or
boiled when just full grown : it is also eaten boiled with salt-meat or fish, and when ripe it is made into tarts,
sliced and fried with butter, or dried and preserved as a sweetmeat A Icrmented liquor is made from them,
and in ;ome places a cloth from the fibres of the trunk; the leaves make excellent mats, or serve for stuffing
mattrasscs. I.ong {Jam. 788.) says, this fruit and the banana are among the greatest blessings bestowed by
Providence upon the inhabitants of hot climates. Three dozen plantains are sufficient to serve one man for
a week instead of bread, and will support him much better.
M. sapientum is by some considered a variety of the plantain, from 'which it differs in having its stalks
marked with dark purple stripes and spots. The fruit is shorter and rounder, with a softer pulp, of a more
luscious taste. An excellent marmalade, and a drink like the best Southnam cider, are made from it. There
are many varieties both of the plantain and banana.
M. rosacea and ccccinea, are very ornamental plants, on account of the color of the flowers, hut scarcely to
be distinguished froYn M. paradisiaca. The culture of all the species is easy in lofty houses, with abundance

of room for the roots, and a rich loamy soil kept rather moist A plant of the banana was planted in the
pit of a stove about 1811. " It was then about six feet high, with a single stem. In each succeeding year it
has produced a bunch of fruit ; and in 1819 two bunches; the first ripe in May, the other in August, having
about four dozen of fruit on each bunch. The plant is now sixteen feet high, and measures three feet round
at the bottom." (Hort. Trans, iv. 138.)
722. Urania. A name of one of the muses, unjustifiably applied to this genus by Schreber, in the room of
that of Ravenala, which it bears in Madagascar. To grow this plant luxuriantly, a strong heat and a good
supply of water are required. Fresh imported seeds will grow freely.
T'-ii Buonapartea. So named by the authors of the Flora Peruviana, after Napoleon Bonaparte, emperor of
the French. Fine plants like Bromelia, with long, narrow, recurved leaves, and spikes of simple blue flowers,
which were never yet seen in this country.

appearance, its size, and the beauty of its flowers. In mythology, Agave is the name of one of the Nereid
A. americana is a popular succulent throughout Europe. It grows wild or is acclimated in Sicily, the
south of Spain, and Italy, and is much used in the latter country, planted in vases as an ornament to piers,
parapets, and about houses. About Milan and other towns in Ivombardy, where it will not endure the winter,
they use imitations of copper so well formed and painted, as to he readily mistaken for the original. In France
and Germany it is still very common ; and in this country formerly used to be the regular companion of the
orange, myrtle, and pomegranate, then our principal greenhouse plants. An idea used to prevail that tin-
American Aloe only flowered once in a hundred years; but, independently of this unnatural application of
time to the inflorescence, it has long been known to flower sooner or later, according to the culture bestowed
on it. Many have flowered within these few years in this country; and if the plant had the same treatment
at the pine-apple, it would probably Sower nearly as often. There is a variety With striped foliage, and sane
times the Stripes are of different shades of white, yellow, and red, as in the queen pine-apple. There are
hedges of the plant in Spain, Portugal, Sicily, Calabria, and the West Indies. According to Long, {Janiat, ,i,
iii. 710.) the leaves are useful as a succedaneum for soap. For this purpose, after being cut, they are pest) d
between the rollers of a mill with their point foremost; and the juice being conducted into wide shallow
recervera, through a coarse cloth or strainer, it is exposed to a hot sun, until the aqueous part being exhaled,
it is reduced to a thick consistence. It mav then lie made up into balls, with the help ot 'ley ashes. It will
lather with salt water at well as fresh. This soap may also lie prepared by pounding the leave* in a wooden
mortar, and then expressing the juice, which may be brought to a consistence by the sun orb)
gallon of juice thus prepared, will yield about one pound of a soft extract. The juice, in both these ways,
must lie carefully strained ; and t lie extract must never be combined with tallow or ether unctuous materials.
The leaves are also used for scowering pewter, and other kitchen utensils, and floors. The inward spongy
substance of the decayed stalk is used for tinder. The fibres of the leaves, separated by bruising and iti
in water, and afterwards beating them, make a strong thread for common uses All the species greatly n
semble each other, audit is doubted, whether, in the works of several travellers, different spi
Aloe, and even Bromelia, arc not confounded in their descriptions Of thi nple. a
variety of the Agave americana, called Karatas by Long, and there is a species of Bronx lit "I that design*),
lion ; hedges of Karatas are frequently mentioned 'without noticing the generic name of the plant.

72r). Furcr&a. Named in honor of M. Fourcroy, the famous French chemist. A noble genus resembling
the last.
7-6. Bromelia. So named by Linna?us, in memory of Olaus Bromel, a Swede, author of Lupulogia, and
other works, li>94, &c. Ananas, Fr., Ger., and Ital. ; and Nonas among the Peruvians, where it was origin-
ally found by Europeans. This fruit may, without hesitation, be pronounced the first in the world, though
it has not been known in Europe above two centuries, and has only been cultivated about a century as a fruit
plant in Britain. It passed from Brazil to the West, and thence to the East Indies, where it has long been
successfully cultivated. About the middle of the seventeenth century it was brought to Holland, by Mr.
La Court, a merchant, and cultivated at Driehoek, his seat, near Leyden ; and from thence it was imported
into this country, and first fruitid by Sir Matthew Decker, at Richmond, about 1715, or earlier. La Court
began by growing his pines without bottom heat, as dry stove plants ; but afterwards had recourse to low pits
and tanner's bark. Plans of his pits, and an account of his mode of culture, are published in his work,
entitled, Aenmerkingen over Lusthoven, Plantagion, &c. (See Ency. of Gard. p. 1129, Anno. 1737.) Sir
M. Decker, Bradley informs us, adopted pits ; and soon after pine stoves, or larger and more commodious pits,
were, by the year 1730, in most of the first English gardens, and some also in Scotland, where the pine-apple
was first fruited by Justice, at Crichton, near Edinburgh, in 1732. The pine is now cultivated very generally in
Britain, in several places in Ireland, and at most of the capital cities on the continent In one or two of the
southern provinces of Spain, it is grown in sheltered situations in the open air.
There are many varieties of the pine in the West Indies, procured by raising from seed : in this country
there are upwards of thirty sorts, but the queen, New Providence, and one or two others, are most esteemed.
The plants are propagated by suckers, and by that singular production, proceeding from the summit of the
fruit, called a crown : from large suckers fruit is sometimes obtained in eighteen months, but, in general, a
period of two or three years is required, and for the New Providence sometimes longer. Loamy soil well en-
riched with rotten dung, and the pots sufficiently drained, with abundance of heat without sudden extremes,
will ensure large and well flavored fruit (See The various Modes of cultivating the Pine-Apple from its first
Introduction to the Improvements of Mr. Knight, tyc. 8vo. 1822.)
Some of the other species of true Bromelia have crowns, and the fruit of most of them is eatable, though
small. B. Pinguin has the fruit separately in clusters, and not in a cone or pine, as in the Ananas. It is very
common in Jamaica, in most of the Savannahs, and on the rocky hills. It is used there for fencing pas-

turc lands, on account of its prickly leaves. These, stripped of their pulp, soaked in water, and beaten with a
wooden mallet, yield a strong thread which is twisted into ropes and whips, and manufactured by the Spaniards
into a good cloth. The juice of the fruit in water makes a cooling draught in fevers; it is extremely diuretic,
destroy) worms, and makes a good vinegar.
B. Karatas, so called from its Brazilian name, Karagtmta-acnnga, generally grows at the root of some shady
tree, in hilly and woody places in America and the Caribbee islands. It is an elegant plant, producing nume-
rous radical leaves, which are of a subulate-linear shape, sharp pointed, and edged with spine*. The flowers
are m entless, seated in the bosom or middle part of the plant, rose colored, with the calyx and germ downy.
The length of the leaves is six or seven feet The fruits are oval, two or three hundred in number, and grow
sessile in a heap or central group, surrounded by paleaceous expanded leaves or bractes; they contain a
succulent whitish or yellowish flesh, under a coriaceous and yellowish bark. When ripe, they are lar from
unpleasant; but when unripe they set the teeth on edge, and excoriate the mouth. 1'he economy of this
plant in the preservation of its fruit to maturity is wonderful : being so protected by the spines of the sur-
rounding leaves, as to be secure from all injuries.
B. humilis propagates itself by runners or shooting processes, which proceed from the axilla; of the lower
leaves, and produce a young plant from their extremities.
Bromelia fastuosa is the most beautiful of the genus. It has never flowered more than once in tins country,
when the figure in Mr, Lindley's Collectanea Botanica was Obtained. Bromelia aylvestris resemble* this, but
is less beautiful.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
of Flora Aboensis, 1673. Several species of this genus are parasitical, and others require the same treatment
as Pitcaimia or Bromelia.
T. utriculata is a valuable plant in the woods of the West Indies, as containing a supply of water in dry
seasons. The seed being pappose, is carried about by the wind, and sticks readily on the bark of trees •
there, especially on decaying ones, it sends out small brown fibres which take hold of the bark and weave and
mat themselves among one another : from this foundation rise several leaves on every side like those of
Aloes or Anapas ; they are folded or inclosed one within another, each three feet and a half iong and three
mches broad at ttie base, but ending in a point, having a very hollow or concave inward side, and a round or
convex outward one, forming a bason or cistern, containing about a quart of water, which, in the rainy season
falls upon the upper parts of the spreading leaves, and being conveyed down them bv channels, lodges in the
bottom as in a bottle; for the leaves, having swelled out at the base, bend inwards close to the stalk, thus
hindering the evaporat.on of the water by the heat of the sun. From the midst of the leaves rises a round
smooth straight green stalk, three or four feet high, having many branches, and when wounded yielding a
clear white mucilaginous gum. The flowers come out here and there on the branches The corolla is of a
yellowish- white or herbaceous color ; and the calyx is made up of three green viscid leaves with purple edges
Men, birds, and insects supply themselves with water from this plant. Darnpier says, he has many times, to
his great relief, stuck his knife into the leaves just above the roots, and let out the water into hishat

curled, or turning and winding one within another, and resembling in old man's beard whe ce its
common name in Jamaica. The (items are branched, and the branches, which are two or three Tnches
long are set with roundish, white, frosted leaves. The flowers come out at the end of The branched nS

;idlers and coachmakers, who commonly stuff their pannels, cushions, &c. with it In Louisiana and the
neighbouring settlements, this plant being very carefully gathered and stripped of the bark, is made into
mattrasses, cushions, pannels, &c. It is manufactured by tying the stalks in bunches, and sinking them in
water, or burying them under ground in a moist place, until the bark rots : they are then taken up, boiled in
water, and washed, until the fibres are quite cleared of the pulp. These are not only used instead of horse-
hair, but are so very like it, that a man cannot distinguish them, without a strict examination, and that even
with a glass, unless he observes the branchings of it
The Bonana bird's nest is always made of the fibres of this plant, and is generally found hanging bj a
few threads from the tops of the most expanded branches of the most lofty trees, especially those that spread
over ponds or rivers.
In cultivating Tillandsia in our stoves, the parasitical species may either be hung up in baskets of moss, or
fastened in moss to some plant, or to the stump of a tree set up on purpose : if planted in pots, they require
but little water, and a sandy loam, with bits of sticks and small pieces of potsherds mixed with it (Steerf.)
They are, however, extremely difficult to manage under any mode of treatment
7o«i. I'untnUiia. So named in memory of Julius Pontedera, professor of botany at Padua, author of
Tabula? Botanicse, 1718, &c This is a genus of aquatic, herbaceous, perennial plants, with fibrous roots
sheathing stem-leaves, and blue flowers in spikes or umbels from the cloven sheath of the leaves. A loamy
soil in a cistern of water grows them well, and thev are not without beauty.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
7.38. Xerine. A fanciful name. Koine was the daughter of Nereus. The plant has become naturalized
in Guernsey, having been part of the cargo of a Cape ship, which was cast away many years ago on the
coast of the island. N. samiensis is a popular autumnal bulb, imported annually from the" islands of Jersey
and Guernsey, where it Is grown in the open air in a sandy soil. Here it requires the protection of a frame
to perfect the bulbs, so as k may flower the following year. The reason is, that the leaves on which
the perfection arid future flowering of every bulb depends, are protruded in the beginning of winter, and
our winters are too long, gloomy, and severe, to admit of these leaves performing their functions
properly. Hence two or more winters in a very mild situation in the open air are required to do what
in Jersey is done in one winter ; or two winters (as VV. Williamson experienced) in a cold frame, or one
winter only (agreeably to Knight's experience) in a frame with artificial heat. (Hort. Trans iii 450 iv 177
and Caled. Mem. ii. C2.) '

m.ujM.tycruy to be resplendent. This is a superb genus : the greenhouse sorts thrive bc-t in a rich loamy soil,
and should have but little water given them after they have done flowering, so that the bulbs may harden, to
produce more flowers the following season. Most of them are increased freely by offsets, and ripen plenty of
seed. A shell taken from the bulb, with a leaf on it, and planted in u |>ot of mould, wall produce a bull" ; as
will almost any bulbous-rooted plant. Hot. Cult. 131.)
The stove Amaryllises grow Hat in light loam and rich soil, and the strong growing kinds require large pots tn
flower in perfection ; they are increased by oll>ets and by seeds, which they In-ar plentifully, If care be taken to
shake some pollen on the stigma at the proper period.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
741. Gri/firua. Named by Mr. Ker, after William Griffin, Esq. of South Lambeth, an amiable man, and
most assiduous and successful collector of bulbous plants. His collection is even now one of the finest in
Europe. These species resemble Amaryllis, but have broad-stalked leaves, and blue flowers.
742. Sternbergia. Named after Count Caspar Sternberg, a celebrated botanist and patron of botany. The
species consist of the hardy plants formerly referred to Amaryllis ; they are all hardy, and, with the exception
of S. lutea, very rare.
743. Zephyranthes. A fanciful name employed by Mr. Herbert. It seems to mean wind-flower. These are
pretty plants, with solitary white or pink flowers. The species are so nearly hardy, as to survive in a warm
border all but our severest winters.
744. Habranthus. From &&«?, delicate, and «v&«;, a flower. Small Chilian plants resembling the last in
habit, and principally distinguished by their very unequal declinatc stamens.
745. Doryanthes So called by Correa de Serra, from hogu, spear, and xv^-os, a flower, on account of the long
straight stem, surmounted by a head of crimson flowers. This is a fine plant from New South Wales. It
grows freely in a mixture of sandy loam and peat, but does not flower till it gets large: a conservatory is the
most proper place for it, as the flower-stem grows to a great height before the flowers expand. It may be
increased by suckers from the roots, but these are sparingly produced. (Bot. Cult. 181.)
74"\ Gethyllis. From yr$iu, to rejoice. The flowers are much valued at the Cape of Good Hope for the
delicious perfume of their flowers. The species are very curious : but few have been introduced. Their bulbs re-
quire the usual attention as to not watering them when in a dormant state; they are increased by offsets or
seiHis.

"47. Potianlhes. From to>.vs, many, and <*».9-<x, a flower ; in allusion to the abundance of the blossoms.
This is a very popular bulb, on account of its highly odoriferous flowers. It is imported annually from Italy
and America, and flowers freely in pots of sandy loam and some rotten dung or leaf mould. R. A. Salisbury
is of opinion that we might grow our own bulbs, by planting the offsets in such a situation as would obtain for
them a " sufficient degree of heat in summer to bring their leaves out to their full magnitude, that of the
roots following of course." " The theory," he adds, " which 1 would recommend any intelligent gardener to
adopt in its general management is, to keep the roots growing as vigorously as possible from May to October,
but in a state of complete rest and drought for the rest of the year." (Ikjrt. Trans, i. 53.)
~Vi. Ahtrccmeria. So named from Baron Claudius Alstrccmer, of Sweden, who in his travels through
Europe ■nt many plants to Linnaeus. The species are beautiful, and A. Ligtu is as fragrant as mignionette. A.
Salsilla is cultivated in Peru and the West Indies for its mots which are used likethe tuliers of the potatne.
A. Ligtu, Sweet observes, " is generally considered difficult to flower; but it will blossom well by letting the
pots be drv for a considerable time till the shoots are all dried up ; then give it a good watering, and put it in
a moist heat, and it will flower abundantly. It may be increased by parting th* rooU or by seed." {Jiit. < i~:
IV The finest kinds have not yet been introduced to this country.
749. Conanthera. From **»»,-, a cone, and iii^a, an anther; their anthers tx ing, which is singular arroug
these plants, united into a cone. A pretty little Peruvian genua, of which two (pedes are now known
ISO. Hijpozis. From C-ti, l>encath, and ojt/c, pointed, in allusion to the sharp pointf ol the Inferior SCpala,
The species are plants with fellow flowers of little beauty, If we except 11. stellata, which ha* a d-.rh spot nt
the claws of its white petals. They increase fast by seeds or offsets.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
751. Curculigo. From Curculio, the weevil, one of the Coleopterous insects ; the seed having a process
resembling the rostrum or beak of that animal. The species are of the easiest culture and increase, but of
little beauty. They in most respects resemble Hypox's.
752. Bambusa. Latinized from the Indian name Bambos. B. arundinacea has a woody, hollow, round, straight
culm, forty feet high and upwards, simple and shining ; the internodes a foot in length and circumference ;
sheaths thick, hairy, rough, convolute, deciduous; branches alternate, slender, solid, spiny, reclining, springing
out from the base to the very top ; the lower ones being usually cut off Panicle of flowers diffbsed in spikes
It grows naturally almost every where within the tropical regions. Over a great part of Asia it is very
common ; in China, Cochin-China, Tonquin, Cambodia, Japan, Ceylon, the peninsula of India, and the
islands. It has been long introduced into the West Indies, and is said to flourish likewise in South Carolina.
There is, perhaps, scarcely any plant that serves for such a variety of domestic purposes. In the East Indies
great use is made of it in building, and the houses of the meaner people are almost entirely composed of it. Dr.
Patrick Brown mentions, that it was yet strong and perfect in some of the houses which had been built by the
Spaniards in Jamaica above a hundred years before. Bridges also are made of it, masts for their boats, boxes,
cups, baskets, mats, and a great variety of other utensils and furniture, both domestic and rural. Paper also
if made from it, by bruising and steeping it in water, and thus forming it into a paste. It is the common
fence for gardens and fields ; and is frequently used as pipes for conveying water. The leaves are generally
put round the chests of tea which are sent to Europe from China, as package, fastened together so as to form
a kind of mat. The tops of the tender shoots are frequently pickled in the West Indies.
In the cavities or tubular parts of the bamboo is found at certain seasons a concrete white substance, called
Tabasheer or Tabachir, an article which the Arabian physicians hold in high estimation. It is commonly
found in what are called the female or large bamboos. The bamboos which contain this concrete are found
on shaking to contain a fluid, which, after some time, gradually lessens, and then they are opened in order to
extract the Tabasheer. The nature of this substance is very different from what might have been expected
in the product of a vegetable. Its indestructibility by fire, its total resistance to acid, its uniting by fusion
with alkalies in certain proportions into a white opaque mass, into a transparent permanent glass, and it being
again separable from these compounds entirely unchanged by acids, &c. seem to arlbrd the strongest reasons
for considering it as very nearly identical with common siliceous earth. As to its medical virtues, though the
drug be, as before observed, in much esteem with tlie orientalists, yet they are not such as to cause it to have
any regard paid it in the modern practice of physic in Europe.
The bamboos grow rapidly to a great height in our stoves in moist loamy soil, and they are readily increased
by suckerr.
'753. Calamus, l'rom xcO.x/j^-, a reed, in Greek; qalem, in Arahic; catam, in Sclavonic; calamus, and
cutmus, in Latin. Tnis genus seems to form the connecting link between the palms and the gromineous
plants, having the inflorescence of the former, and the habit of the latter. It furnishes the rattan canes, of which

there arc several species or varieties, all distinguished by a stem which is perennial, unhranched, long, round,
solid, jointed, scandent when near trees, but without prickles or tendrils, extremely tough and pliable. The
dirlcrent sorts grow on the banks of rivers in the East, like our reeds, and furnish valuable props for plants,
cables, ropes, withs, wicker and wattled work, baskets, hoops for petticoats, walking-sticks, 4c.
C Zalacc.i, the Salxck, is cultivated for the fruit, which is about the size of a walnut, and covered with
scales like those of a lizard ; within the scales are two or three sweet yellow kernels. This tree is supposed to
yield the dragon's blood.
7>4. Eltrharta. So named by LinmeUS, in honor of Frederick Ehrhart, a native of Switzerland, a very
diligent and acute observer. These are very curious grasses, of which an account has been published m the
Transactions of the Linncan Society.
~~>5. Acurus. From a, privative, and sags), the pupil of the eye, maladies in which are supposed to bei tired
by the virtues of this plant. Acorus Calamus, Linnaeus observes, is the only native aromatic plant of northern
climates; the root powdered might supply the place of foreign spices. It has a strong aromatic smell, and a
warm, pungent, bitterish taste. The flavor is greatly improved by drying The roots are commonly imported
from the Levant ; but those of our own growth are full as good. The Turks candy them, and regard them as
a preservative against contagion. In many counties of England, in which the plant abounds, it was formerly used
to strew the floors of houses instead of rushes ; a purpose lor which its fragrant leaves made it very suitable,
The aromatic principle is an essential oil, which can be obtained by distillation. 'The root has been em-
ployed in medicine since the time of Hippocrates. By the moderns it is successfully used in intermittent
fever even after bark has (ailed, and is certainly a very useful addition to Cinchona, It is also a useful adjunct
to bitters, and stomachic infusions. Thomson says, [Mat. Med. II. it is too seldom prescribed. 'Though the
plant is abundant in the fenny districts of England, yet what is used by the druggists is imported from the
Levant No cattle whatever eat the plant,
7S6 OruiUium. The (ireek name ol a plant now unknown to us as such. It is thought CO havers
railed from growing on the edge of the Orontes. a river ot Asia Minor. O. japonicum has broad leaves like
those of the lily of the valley, green on the upper side, and covered with very minute hairs, so that they iiK.k like
a fine velvet. Cattle, hogs, and. stags, are very fond of these leaves in the spring, and they co out among
the earliest. Kalm states, that the Indians gather the Seeds and cat tin in when dried hi them
repeatedlv in water before thev are fit for use ; they also bod tin m in milk or butter, and use tha i ii -n ad "f
bread. They call the plant tuwl.te. It STOWS in marshes, near moist and low ground-, ten plentifully ill
\ irginia, Canada, and other provinces of north America.
757. Tupiitra. A diminutive of ™«r.r, a mallet, on account of the peculiar form of the (lower. An obscure
plant, supposed to belong to the order Aroidese. It has long lanceolate broad leaves, and radical aptkes Of

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
In its natural state it is one of the most bitter and acrid, but loses something of these qualities by culture.
The raw root is rasped, and washed frequently in water, when a white meal falls to the bottom like starch ;
this is again washed twice or thrice, till no more acrimony can be perceived in the water. The meal is then
dried in the sun. The first infusions are thrown away carefully, being looked upon as noxious and even
deadly. In Otaheite and the other Society isles, they make of this meal a tasteful, nourishing, gelatinous
cake-hke salep. In Banda, where sago bread is not common, they use this as a succedaneum, and it is even
preferable to the other. They also apply it as a plaster to deep wounds. The petioles and stalk boiled a long
time lose their acrimony, and are rendered fit for food, as well as the roots, in China and Cochin-China.
759. As/ndislra. From aratt, a little round shield, on account of the form of the flower A plant with the
same habit as Tupistra, but with solitary radical flowers half buried in the earth.
760. Juncus. From the Latin, jungo, to join : the first ropes were made of rushes. The Juncese and Cype-
race.t form intermediate links between the Graminea; and the Liliaceae ; some of the latter as Anthericum
bearing considerable resemblance to the Junceje.
J. acutus and maritimus are planted on the sea-embankments of Holland, and also in some parts of our own
coasts, and in America. The roots run deep into the sand, and form a matted body which holds it together
In Holland, when the plants are fully grown and in flower, they are cut down down, dried, and bound up like
corn. The J. acutus, being very rough, is used for scouring copper and other vessels, and is one of the plants
imported into this country tor that purpose, under the name of the Dutch rush. The other species and often
both, are plaited into mats, baskets, chair-bottoms, ropes, &-c.
J. conglomerate and effbsus are used when green for making little baskets and children's ornaments ; and
the pith of this and other species is used as wicks for watch-lights, and children's toys.
J. glaucus and conglomcratus are bad weeds in wet-bottomed clavey pastures The best way of removing
them is to dig them out, and to prevent their growth, to lay the land dry by surface and urider-drainage
These species, and some others, are gathered green by the Dutch gardeners, and used when dry as tves for
fruit-trees. Sir J. K Smith says, they both, probably, served for strewing floors in England, as mentioned by
Shakepeare and Sir Thomas More, about the time ot Edward IV., and later ; till more refined manners wrought

palms, the topmost leaves of which form immense (ana twenty feet long and fifteen wide. In Ceylon this palm

Being dried it is very strong and limber ; and though it be very broad when open, yet it will (old close like a

drape, about the size of sweet-bay berries; it continues long green, but finally becomes brown or blackish •
the nut i« oblong hard, and striated. In the Isle of Celebes, and in Macassar, they make much use of tl o
narrow leaves for tobacco pipes, and of the middle broad one for wrapping up fruit, &i The wood if the with
and hard rind may be so called, like that of most palms, is of little use '
764. Tlmnax. From rWg, a fan The leaves of' this little palm form a sort of fan. Brown (Hist of
Jamausa says, that this tree covers whole fields in many parts of Jamaica ; that it grows both in the rocky
lulls and low moist jpUuns near the sea, but seems to thrive best in the former. It shoots by a simple stalk
and rises generally from four or five, to ten or fourteen feet in height. It is always fur ished with teavS in
form ol a tan sustained by slender compressed foot-stalks, and bears a great abundance of small! err es which
or five me lies in diameter, it is much used for piles in wharfs, and other buildings made in the sea • for it
stands the water well, and is never touched by the worms. The foot-stalks of the leaves pli and pared serve
to make baskets, bow-strings, ropes, &c where strength and toughness are required The lea vw are 'called

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
emblem of whiteness. This is a splendid genus, all the species of which are considered border flowers of great
beauty. The more common sorts, species, and varieties, will thrive in any soil and situation, even under the
shade of trees. The Canadian, Pomponian, and Phi'.adelphian martagons are somewhat tender, and require
the protection of ashes or rotten bark in winter. They are generally planted in borders, and need not be
taken up oftener than every three or four years in September, and replanted six inches deep in the October
following. None of the species can be safely transplanted after they have pushed leaves, without weakening
them so as to prevent their flowering for several years. This remark, indeed, will apply to most bulbous
rooted plants. Mr. Griffin, of South Lambeth, whose superior skill in the cultivation of bulbous plants is well
known {Hurt. Trans, iv. 544.), has been in the practice of keeping the lilium jnponicum in pots, protected by a
greenhouse or garden frame : but he thinks they thrive best in the former. He places the bull) in twenty-four
sized pots, not lower than an inch from the surface of the mould, which is composed of about two-thirds pc.it
and one-third loam, the bottom of the pot being covered to the depth of two inches, with broken pieces of
tile and the rough sittings of peat. The plants are kept entirely from frost, and are watered very little when
in a dormant state, for they are then very impatient of wet in excess. The pots kept in the greenhouse arc
placed at a distance from the flue to prevent the mould drying quickly. {Hort. Trans, iv. 554.) Mr. S. liiooks
grows in a brick-pit, which he can cover with mats or glasses at pleasure ; but he says, it " appears to be
sufficiently hardy to endure our winters, as I have had a bed of them two years in the open ground without
protection." {Hort. Trans, iv. 552.)
772. Tulip*. Linnaeus classed this among barbarous names. In Persian it is called thohlyban (De Souza),
whence undoubtedly its origin. In old French it is called tutipan. T. Gesneriana (Gcsner, a Zurich botanist),
may- be called the king of florists' flowers, having been a prime object of attention with this class of cultivators
for nearly three centuries. It appears to have been brought to Europe from Persia by way of Constantinople
in 1559, and in a century afterwards to have become an object of considerable trade in the Netherlands, and
a sort of mania 3mong the growers, who bought and sold bulbs at prices amounting to 5(H)/. sterling and
upwards ; in those days an immense sum. The taste for tulips in England was at its greatest height about
the end of the seventeenth and the beginning of the eighteenth century. It afterwards declined, and gave
way to a taste for rare plants from foreign countries. The tulip, however, is still extensively cultivated iu
Holland, from which all Europe is supplied with bulbs, and also to a considerable extent in England, both in
tradesmen's gardens and in those of the opulent. It is, however, like the auricula, pink, &c. more the poor
man's flower than that of the botanists or country gentleman.
The varieties of the tulip are endless, and their names arbitrary, like those of all florists' flowers. One of
the latest London catalogues (Mason's) enumerates six sorts of early blowing tulips ; four perroquets or middle
blowers ; twenty-two double sorts ; and upwards of 600 single late sorts ; the last being the only sorts valued
Dy florists as competition flowers. These late sorts are classed by the Dutch as under :
Prime baguets [baguette, Fr., a rod or wand) ; very tall ; fine cups with white bottoms, well broken with
fine brown, and all trom the same breeder.
Baguets Rigaut's (supposed from Rigaud, some eminent florist's name, or rougeaude, red face) ; not quite
so tall, but with strong stems, and very large well-formed cups, with white bottoms, well broken with fine
brown, and all from the same breeder

BisarTes {bizarre, Fr. odd, irregular) ; ground yellow, from different breeders, and broken with variety of
colors.
What arc called breeders are procured from seed, and consist of one plain color on a white or yellow bottom.
These being cultivated on a dry and rather poor soil, become broken or variegated, and produce new varieties.
The time that elapses before they break, varies from one to twenty years or more, and sometimes this change
never takes place, so that w hoover thinks of raising new varieties of tulips from seed, must be possessed ol an
ample fund of patience and perseverance. The early dwarf tulip, known among florists as the Van I'holl, is
a distinct species, T. suaveolcns.
In raising tulips from seed, the florists pursue a mode in some respects the reverse of that practised with
other plants. Instead of saving the seed to be sown from the finest variegated tulips, they prefer unbroken
flowers or breeders, selecting such of these as have tall strong stems, with large well-formed cups, clear in the
bottom. Plants raised from seed saved from the finer variegated sorts, form poor weak breeders of no value.
The seed is sown on fine light soil, thinly covered, and protected and shaded by a frame. At the end of tin-
second vcar the bulbs are taken up and replanted three inches apart ; and again at the end of the fourth year.
Some will bloom the fourth year, most the firth, and ull of them the seventh year. Being now furnished with
a set of breeders, all that the floiist can do is to take up and replant till they break or shew variegation, which,
as already observed, some will do in a year or two, and some not for n long period, or never. Some vary the
soil to promote breaking, but in doing this there is often danger of weakening the strength of the Bower.
In cultivating choice tulips, an open airy situation, dry at bottom, is made choice of; there excavations are
made commonly in the form of beds four feet broad, of any convenient length, and two and a half or three
feet deep. In the bottom a layer of well rotten hot-bed dung is laid and well trod in, and on tin- two or
two and a half feet of rich fresh sandy loam. On this the roots are planted six inches apart, and covered lour
inches. The best Season is the beginning of November. In very scv re winters, protection by mats or by
a layer of decayed tanner's bark, may be requisite ; but the tulip is veiy hardy, and almost the only protection
it requires is shading and shielding from rain and winds during full bloom. The bulbs should be taken up
annually, as soon as the flowers are decayed, and kept in a dry airy situation till wanted lor planting

History, Use, Propagation, Ou/litre,
782. Erythronium. From igud-ga;, red, in allusion to the color of the flower and leaves. Beautiful little vernal
bulbs, the favorites of gardeners, from the cottager's border to the nobleman's flower garden. The K
amcricanum runs very much at the root, and will not flower unless confined and prevented wasting its
vigour in long subterraneous surculi.
783. Gloriosa. So named on account of the glorious colors of its flowers, and the elegance of their form.
This is a splendid and curious genus, which requires considerable care in its treatment so as to make it flower
freely. The late John Sweet, of Bristol, has given the following directions; " When the stalks and foliage
have decayed in the autumn, and left the root, like a well-ripened potatoe, in a dormant state, the pot in
which it is, must be removed from the bark-bed (to a dry part of the house) at some distance from the fire :
all the warmth at this time necessary being merely what is sufficient to keep the earth in the pot free from
damp : and to prevent the waterings of the house, or other moisture, falling on the earth in the pot, it should
be covered, by inverting upon it another pot of the same size ; or if larger, it will hang over its edges, and
more effectually exclude the wet. If the roots are small, two or three maybe placed together in the same
pot, whilst in their dormant state ; but if they are thus shifted, the mould must be well shaken down in the
l>ot, in order to prevent the access of air to them : the old mould in which they grew must also be used ; for
fresh earth or sand would stimulate them to move too early. About the second week in March, the roots
must be replanted, putting one or two, according to their size, into pots measuring six inches over. The best
compost for them is fresh loam, mixed with an equal quantity of peat-mould, of good quality ; the loam
should be good, not over rich with dung, nor too heavy. The roots are to be covered about two inches deep ;
and care must be taken not to break them, unless nature has shown where it is practicable to divide them
easily. The pots, when rilled, must be plunged into the bark-bed, where the heat should be equal to ninety-
rive degrees of Fahrenheit's scale. Water is to be given very sparingly at first ; and though, as they grow,

they will require a more liberal supply, vet it is necessary at all times to be very moderate in giving it. Tin
heat must be well kept up; and as the roots extend, they must be supported. Under such treatment as I

anil Miscellaneous Particulars.
A repa. ' Cep signifies head in Celtic.) Oipnon, Fr., Zwiebel, Ger. and (T*/>o//V/,ltal , is universally culti-
vated for the kitchen, and is used as a pot-herb, salad, and pickle. It is commonly raised from seed, which
i- -own on rich, loamy, and rather moist soil, in March ; and being thinned, weeded, and the soil stirred, the
bulbs will be fit to take up in September, when thev mav be kept through the winter like potatoes or s( pie
It is also grown from small bulbs, which are planted on the surface of the toil In March, and swell to
size 'if not earthed up] in the course of the season. Sometimes onion-seeds are sown in ant u m a very drj
situation, and die young plant* are taken up and transplanted in spring: or a sowing is made very earl] in
spring on a warm border or on a hot-bed, and the crop transplanted from that.
There is a variety called the underground-onion, which multiplies its bulbs by oflkets below the surface.
The species called the tree onion, like several others, produce* its bulbs instead of or among the umbel 01
flower*. It is occasionally cultivated, but chiefly a* matter of curiosity
A. flatulOCUm is grown chiefly as a scallion, or spring salad onien. It has almost no bulb, but large succu-
lent tistular leaves, strong in flavor. It is sown in autumn, and lit to be used in spring.
797. Albuca. Derived from alius, white, in allusion to the color ol the flowers ol this genu*. >..t
happy allusion though, because the Mowers are mostly green. The stem of the Asphodel was called OJMM y

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
the Latins. A genus of little beauty, but of easy management in sandy loam and decayed vegetable soil, and
propagation is effected by suckers from the old bulbs ; or by taking off leaves u ith a scale, and planting them
round the edge of a pot of sandy loam.
798. Xant/iorrhcca. From £«>3-o?, yellow, and pia, to flow. The plant produces a yellow gum.
799. Thysanotiis. From 5-uiravoj, a fringe, on account of the fringe of the sepals. Elegant little New
Holland plants, with bright purple blossoms and slender grassy leaves.
800. Eriospermum. From tqiov, wool, and trxi(fj.-/i, seed, on account of the envelope of the seed. Very
curious little Cape plants, with deformed or unusually sliapcn leaves.
801. Gagea. Named by R. A. Salisbury, Esq., after his friend Sir Thomas Gage, a great amateur
of botany. A genus of curious little bulbous plants, none of which exceed the height of more
Jian three or four inches, and principally distinguished from Omithognlum by the yellow color of their
flowers.

History. Use, Propagation, Culture,
814. Dianella. A diminution of Diana, the name which the genus originally received from Commerson.
The species are found in the recesses of forests, where the goddess of hunting may be supposed to inhabit.
815. Eustrcplnis. From iv, well, and s^ifa, to turn, in allusion to the twining habit of the species.
816. Asparagus. From <r™tx.tr<ra, to tear, on account of the strong prickles with which some of the species
are armed. Some are dioecious, and others arc prickly evergreen climbers. A. officinalis, Asperge, Fr.,
Spargel, Ger., and Asparago, Ital , is one of the oldest and most delicate of culinary vegetables. It is found
on the sea-shores in different parts of Britain and in many parts of Europe, and is' abundant in the inland
sandy plains in Russia, Turkey, and Greece. Asparagus was in much esteem both among the Greeks and
Romans. It is much praised by Cato and Columella, and Pliny mentions a sort which grew near Ravenna, a
deep sandy country, three shoots of which would weigh a pound. It is equally admired by the modems, and
assiduously cultivated in private gardens everywhere, and to a great extent round London, Paris, and Vienna.
In in/ part of the world is it grown to such perfection as in the market gardens round London. That of the
pariah of Mortlake is particularly strong and succulent : the soil is a sandv loam, deeply trenched, and well
manured ; the seed is sown in drills and thinned out till the plants stand six inches apart in the row, and the rows
are a foot asunder. Round Paris and Vienna more pains are taken in preparing the soil, by forming excava-
tions and filling them with layers of turf, durable manure, as bones, wood-chips, &c, sand, manure, loam,
&C. : but though plantations on such beds last longer than on our's, thev do not yield better shoots, and it may
justly lie questioned whether they are equally profitable to the cultivator.
The culinary preparations of asparagus are few, its very delicate flavor rather being deteriorated than
unproved by powerful tastes. It is best boiled and served alone, to be eaten with butter and salt ; or with the
points ol the shoots cut in small pieces, and served up as green pease. It is esteemed diuretic, and in Paris

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
819. llyaeintlnis Every one knows the fable of Hyacinthus, who was killed by Apollo and chanced to this
flower. Bochart, however, remarking that the ancients applied the name to a red flower, concludes that the
Arabic .yagbid, which signifies red, has something to do with the name. A conjecture certainly sufficiently
learned, but less plausible. ' '

deposited, the plants will thrive the tx-tter. The season of planting is from tie middle of October to the
middle of November. The bed should be protected from heavy rains and severe frosts by the usual means;
and about the beginning of April, when the flowers begin to open, an awning of canvass should be lixad ow r
them, to exclude all extremes of weather, and the more brilliant moments of sunshine. In three weeks or a
month after blooming the bulla should be taken up. unless they are intended to remain for seed. They
should be dried in the shade, or under a few inches of dry earth, kept dry, and afterwards cleaned and wrapped
up in separate papers, or laid on open airy shelves till wanted for replanting.
The hyacinth forces well, especially some of the blue sorts ; it also does better than most bulbs when planted
on ■ratar.
820. Zuccagnia. This plant was named in honor of Attili Zuecagni, sti|>crintendant of the garden at
Florence. It is scarcely a different genus from Lropetalon.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
823. Phorttiium. Prom <+ocu.o;, a basket This plant sends up numerous leave*, which in New Zealand
and Norfolk Island are manufactured into matting ; or a coarse thread is separated from them and made into
cordage and coarse linen, as is done from different species of Aloe, Agave, and Liliacea;in the Levant and south
of Europe. The plant thrives in any rich light soil, increases readily by offsets, and is said to stand the ooen
air about Cork, where thoughts are entertained of using it as a substitute for flax. The experiments, How-
ever, which have been made in New Holland by some spirited individuals respecting its cultivation, have all
failed.
824. CyaneUa. Derived from xvavos, blue, in allusion to the color of the flowers of some species : all are
very pretty and easily cultivated.
825. I.eonlicc. An abridgment of Leontoprtahim, its ancient name ; from >.s«v, a lion, and tstosAm, a leaf,
because the shape of the leaves was thought to resemble the print of a lion's foot.
826. CaulopliyUum. Prom xxukov, a stem, and fv>.\m, a leaf. Its leaves are so terminated by the stalk, as
to appear a mere continuation of a stem.
827. Diphylleia, From hs, two, and <f-j>.>.ov, a leaf. The plant has never more than two leaves.
828. Prinos. This was the Greek name of the evergreen oak ; from ™w, to saw, on account of the
strongly toothed leaves of that plant The species are low shrubs of little beauty : but of the easiest culture
in any light soil.
829. Berberis. Berber*!, according to Golius, :\\ 246), is the Arabic name of this plant B. vulgaris is at
once an ornamental shrub, a truit tree, a hedge plant, a dye, a drug, and a reputed enemy to the corn farmer
When covered with flowers m spring, or with fruit in autumn, it is a fine object The leaves are of a
yellowish or bluish green, and gratefully acid to the taste. The smell of the flowers is offensive when near
but pleasant at a certain distance. The berries are so very acid, that birds seldom touch them The berberry,
however, is cultivated for the sake of these, which are pickled and used for garnishing dishes : and being
boiled with sugar, form a most agreeable rob or jelly; they are used likewise as a sweetmeat and are put into
sugar-plums or comfits. Asa medicine the fruit is considered a mild restringent acid 'agreeable to the
stomach, and of efficacy (like other vegetable acids) in hot bilious disorders, and in a putrid' disposition of the
humours. The roots boiled in a lye yield a yellow colour : and in Poland they dye leather of a fine yellow

with the bark of the root. The inner bark of the stems also will dye linen of a fine yellow, with the assist-
ance of alum. Kine, sheep, and goats are said to eat it; horses and swine to refuse it. Thai species varies
with red, purple, pale yellow, and stonelcss fruit.
Insects of various kinds are remarkably fond of the flowers of the b:irberry ; and the Afc-irtitrm Berheridc,
its [articular inhabitant, is supposed to generate the dust which, carried from the bush by winds, and lighting
on wheat and other growing corns, gives rise to the Puccinia, a minute fungus, which closes up the pores of the
leaves, and api>ears like rust or mildew. (Sir J. Banks on Blight, S/c.) Many highly respectable authorities
in Britain, on the continent, and in America, are in favor of and against this opinion. Wifidenow, Withering,
BBd Dwight have stated various remarkable cases on good authority. Sir J. Banks and his draughtsman
Bauer proved the fact of the mildew being a fungus.
Linnaeus observed, that when bees in search of honey touch the filaments, the anthers approximate to the
-tigma and explode the pollen. Sir J. Smith ascertained that the same effect is produced by touching the

All the other species are much esteemed as ornamental plants. B. aristata is a tine hardy evergreen shrub.
B. ilicifolia and cmarginata are also hardy, but less ornamental. B. fascicularis is a beautiful ornamental
nearly hardy shrub, remarkable for its pinnated leaves.
830. Xandina. Xandin is the name of this shrub in Japan, where it is a garden shrub : the flowers are in
panicles, and succeeded by berries of the size of a pea. In the greenhouse it grows freely in loam and |>cat, and
ripened cuttings, with their leaves on, root in sand under a hand-glass.
831. Cossignia. Named by Commerson, after M. de Cossigny, a French naturalist, then living at Pondii hcrrj
Fine plants with handsome pinnated leaves.
832. HUtia. So named by Jacquin, in honor of Sir John Hill, author of many large works on botany and

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
833. Richardm. So named by Houston, after Richard Richardson, an English botanist. Cuttings root in
sand under a glass.
834. Canarina. That is to say, a plant native of the Canaries. This plant, Sweet observes, " is very desir-
able, as it flowers in autumn anil winter, when few other plants are in bloom. After flowering, the stem lies
down, and the roots continue dormant all the summer, when they need but little water. When they begin to
grow they had better be placed in the stove, as they will not flower so abundantly in the greenhouse. A light
loamy soil suits them best, or a mixture of loam and peat : and they are readily increased by dividing the roots,
or from cuttings planted in the same kind of soil under a hand-glass " i,Bot. Cult. p. 162.)
835. Frankenia. In honor of John Frankenius, professor of botany at Upsal, who first enumerated the plants
of Sweden in Speculum Botanicum. 1658, and Speculum Botanicum Renovatum in 1659.
856. Peplis. One of the Greek names of the Purslane. The plant now so called resembles the Purslane in
some points.
837. Oryza. From the Arabic word erux, the Greeks coined their word ecvta, and the various modern
nations of Europe their rice, riz, rcis, &c. O. sativa, the common rice, has the culm from one to six feet in
length, annual, erect, simple, round, jointed. Leaves subulate-linear, reflex, embracing, not fleshy. Flowers
in a terminating panicle. Calycine leaflets lanceolate. Valves of the corolla equal in length : the inner valve
even, awuless ; the outer twice as wide, four-grooved, hispid, awned. Style single, two-parted.
O. mutica, the dry or mountain rice, cultivated in Ceylon, Java, and of late in Hungary, lias the culm three
feet high, and more slender. Fruit longish, with awns the longest of all. It is sown on mountains and in
dry soils ; rots with a long inundation, and perishes with sea water.
The varieties of rice, as of other cultivated grain, are as numerous as the different soils, climates, and other
physical circumstances, in which it is cultivated : besides the dry rice, the chief sorts, by some considered spe-
cies, are the O. praxox, or early rice, and the O. glutinosa, or clammy rice, both cultivated in irrigated lands.
The native place of rice, like that of the other sorts of grain in common use, is unknown ; it is cultivated in great
abundance ail over India, where the country will admit of being flooded ; in the southern provinces of China,
in Cochinchina, Cambodia, Siam, Japan, &c. In Japan it is very white, and of the best quality. It has also
been introduced into cultivation in the southern kingdoms of Europe, Italy, Spain, the south of France, and
within a few years into Hungary and Westphalia. In Carolina it has long been a staple commodity.
Houghton's account of its introduction there is, that Ashby was encouraged to send a hundred pound bagfull
of rice to that province, from which, in 1698, sixty tons were imported into England. Dalrymple says, that
rice in Carolina is the result of a small bag of paddy, given as a present from Dubois, treasurer of the East
India Company, to a Carolina trader. A Dutch vessel also, from Madagascar, brought rice into the same pro-
vince ; and to this is attributed their having two kinds. (Oriental Repertory, 1.)
In the hilly parts of Java, and in many of the Eastern islands, the mountain rice is planted upon the sides of
hills, where no water but rain can come ; it is, however, planted in the beginning of the rainy season, and
reaped in the beginning of the dry season. The natives call it Paddy Gunung, which signifies mountain rice.
It is entirely unknown in the western parts of India, but it is well known in Cochinchina, where it thrives in
dry light soils, mostly on the sides of hills, not requiring more moisture than the usual rains and dews supply,
neither of which are frequent at the season of its vegetation.
There is a kind of hill rice which is hardy enough to grow on the edge of the Himalayan snows. It is al-
most to be expected, that this will, at some future time, prove an acquisition of value to the European
cultivator.
Rice is extensively cultivated in the East Indies and China, and chiefly on low grounds near large rivers,

whicn are liable to be annually inundated, and enriched by the deposition of mud. According to Sir George
Staunton's account, the Chinese obtain two crops of rue in a year from the same ground, and cultivate M in
this way from generation to generation on Hie same soil, and without any other manure than the iniul de-
posited by the '.v. iter of the river used in overflowing it. Alter the waters of the inundation have withdrawn,
a few days are allowed for the mud to get partially dry ; then a small spot is enclosed hya bank of clay slightly
ploughed and harrowed, and the grain, previously steeped m hum;;, diluted with animal water, is then sown
very thickly on it. A thin sheet of water is immediately brought over it, either by a led stream, or the chain.
pump. Thus a seed-bed or nursery is prepared, and, in the meantime, the remainder of the tract is preparing
fur being planted. When the plants are six or seven inches high, they arc transplanted in furrows made by
the plough, so as to stand about a foot apart every way ; water is then brought over them, and kept on till the
crop begins to ripen, when it is withheld ; so that when harvest arrives the field is quite dry. It is reaped with
a sickle, threshed with a flail or the treading of cattle, and the husk taken oil' by beating it in a stone mortar,
or passing it between two flat stones, as in a common meal mill. The first crop being cut in May, a second is
immediately prepared for by burning the stubble, and this second crop ripens in October or November. After
removal, the stubble is ploughed in, which is the only vegetable manure such lands can be said to receive from
man. In Japan, Ceylon, and Java, according to Tl.unborg, Davis, and Raffles, aquatic rice is cultivated
nearly in the same manner. Mountain-rice is grown much in the same way as our barley.
In Lombardy and Savoy rice is sown on rich land3, the sower often wading to the knees in water : one crop
a year only is obtained ; but four crops are often taken in succession. In America a similar practice obtains.
In Westphalia, and some other parts of the south of Germany, rice has lung been cultivated; there it is
sown on lands that admit of irrigation ; but the water is not admitted till the seed has germinated, and it is
withdrawn, as in Italy, when the crop comes into flower From long culture in a comparatively cold country,
the German rice has acquired a remarkable degree of hardiness and adaptation to the Climate , a circumstam e
which has frequently been alluded to as an encouragement to the acclimating of exotics It is found,
Mr Walker remarks 'Essays on Sat. But.), that rice seeds direct from India » ill not ri|>on in Germany at all,
and even that Italian or Spanish seeds are much less early and hardy than those ripened on the spot.
In Hungary rice has not been long cultivated: the mountain sort has chiefly been tried, and that in the
manner of our barley or summer-wheat.
In Kngland a crop of rice has been obtained near Windsor, on the banks of the Thames
In the stove, or in a hot-bed, rice may be grown in [Kits of rich soil placed in pans of water, and in August
they may beset in the greenhouse, or under any glass roof open at the sides, and they will produce perfect
grama.
By far the best imported rice is that from Carolina : it is larger and better tasted than that of India, which
is small, meagre, and the grains frequently broken. As an article of diet, rice has been extolled as superior
almost to any other vegetalile : but, whatever it may lie in warmer climates, where it is a common, ami to
many persona almost their only food, It does not appear so well calculated for European constitul i at the
potatoe; for we find that the poor constantly reject the use of rice when potatoes are to be bad; and wh i i
tbeae can be obtained, wc may venture to predict, that rice will always be considered io this country, r il
a dainty, to be eaten with sweet condiments, spue., fruit, &C thin as ordinary bod I Willi, lis Family

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
851. Colchicum. From Colchis, saith Dioscorides, where this plant grows in abundance ; but it is probable
that the term Colchicum was applied to all poisonous plants, among which this certainly held no inconsiderable
place. The economy of this plant in regard to its bulbs, flowers, and seeds, is singular, and may be classed
with other anomalies found in Crocus, &c. The bulb, which in C. autumnale is about the shape and size of
that of a tulip, is formed in the following manner : —
From the permanent, striated, dilated tuber of the old root, sinuated on one side, and clothed with the coats
of the preceding root-leaves, a new plant springs, which is tuberous at the base, throws out fibres at bottom
like other bulbs, and is received into the bosom of the former tuber, which embraces it half round. This has
an outer radical spathe, which is cylindric and tubulai, cloven at top on one side, and half under ground.
From two to six flowers half emerge from this spathe without leaves. In the mean time the fruits, much later
than the flowers, sit on the stem rising out of the spathe. As the plant advances the new tuber increases, the
old one, deprived of its nutriment, perishes, and at the same time the former pushes forth from its base the
germ of a succeeding plant. There are commonly two lateral germs from the same tuber ; one lower, just de-
scribed, bearing the flower and seed ; the other superior, caulescent like the former, but more slender, and
scarcely floriferous.
The flowers, which arise with long slender tubes from the root, die off in the end of October, without
leaving any external appearance of seeds. These lie buried all the winter within the bulb; in spring they
grow up on a fruit-stalk, and are ripe about the time of hay-harvest. May not the very great length of the
styles account in some measure for the delay in the ripening of the seeds ? As this plant blossoms late in the
year, and probably would not have time to ripen its seeds before winter, Providence has contrived its structure
such, that it may be performed at a depth within the earth, out of the reach of the usual effects of frost ; and
as seeds buried at such a depth are known not to vegetate, a no less admirable provision is made to raise them
above the surface when they arc perfected, and to sow them at a proper season.

ami Miso/taiicous Particulars.
There are a few varieties of common Colchicum cultivated by florists ; viz. the white, striped-flowered,
striped-leaved, broad-leaved, manv-flowered, and double-flowered. No cattle are said to eat it; though it is
remarkably abuudant in the meadows of the Italian Alps, and the leaves must certainly be frequently made
into hay.
C. autumnale, as a medicine, has been known since the days of Hippocrates. It possesses diuretic, purga-
tive, and narcotic properties : and on the continent, where it was recommended to notice by Baron Stoerck,
it is a favorite remedy in dropsy, particularly hydrothorax, and in humoral asthma But as it does not diflfcr
in its mode of action from squill, and is more uncertain in its operation, it has not been much used in that
complaint in this country. In gout and rheumatism, however, its efficacy has l>een fully ascertained : and
in allaying the pain it may t>e almost said to possess a specific property. It operates OB the bowels chiefly,
and the nerves, diminishing the act on of the arterial system. (Thomson's Mat. Med. 857.)

used as spinage plants. The former is still used on the continent, and mashed with a small proportion of R,
acetosa or scutata, makes a very good spinage.
R. crispus has a fusiform yeUow root, which, taken in a recent state, and bruited and made into an ointment
or decoction, is said to cure the itch.
R. obtusilblius is a domestic weed of the worst description : it is found in every country of Europe but
almost confined to cultivated grounds or rubbish, rick-yards, neglected gardens, and places used as retiring
the teeth. The leaves of all of them are considered laxative rather than otherwise
R. acetosa has been long cultivated in gardens for its leaves as spinage and salad : but R. scutatus is much
more delicate The Laplanders use the leaves of the R. acetosa to turn their milk sour : in Ireland they are
eaten with fish and other alkalescent food. The root is powerfully astringent, and considered antiscorbutic :
dried and boiled it gives out a beautiful red color. All domestic cattle eat this and most other species of the
genus. r

parent ; but almost every one grows, and once a year old they are tedious and expensive to eradicate. The

cated by the weeding, or dock-hook, or spade, the ground cannot be considered as cleared. Any part of the

root left will generate buds and send them to the surface, and if the plough or spade cut a root into pieces an
inch long, each piece will grow, whether near the surface or buried to some depth. The less careful agricul-
turist often receives dock-seeds with his grass-seeds, brought from the stable-keepers and not properly cleaned :
these come up the first year, and establish themselves along with the clover unobserved. The second year

of the stable or with the hay-seeds, to be agaiD carried to the field. Such as purchase town-manure cannot
avoid receiving dock.seeds ; but they may destroy them by fermenting the manure well before using it :
others, who desire to get rid and keep clear of this weed, should be most particular in their choice of seeds
of everv kind, especially of grass-seeds ; should weed them out as soon as they can be discovered ; and, for such
as remain till the second year, they may be pulled by hand when in the flower-stalk, and during or after a
day's rain. tSee Encyc. Agr. art. Peren. H'eeds.)

Linnaeus and Gasrtner. The valves of the ripe capsule become concave externally, convex and polished
within, and have been taken for a permanent corolla. But they are opposite to the calyx leaves, which the
segments of the corolla are not The beautiful tunics of the seeds were supposed to be the skin of a dried

leaves the tongue black, dry, and rough, as it appears in I malignant lever. It is thought, however, to be
coveted bv Guinea-hens, and hence its vulgar name of Guinea-hen weed.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
oaunt. Get., and Marrone, Ital. JE. hippocastanum (<Vrof , horse, horse-chesnut ; because it was formerly a
veterinary medicine) is a magnificent tree, at once grand from its magnitude and massy form, and beautiful when
in blossom, from being covered with spikes of delicate white and pink flowers, protruding from among elegant
digitate leaves. It is a rapid growing tree, and speedily produces a considerable bulk of timber, which, how.
ever, is of little value as such. The plant is best adapted for an ornamental tree in the outskirts of plantations,
in avenues, or singly on lawns. It is much prized by the French as an ornamental avenue tree, and when the
geometric style of gardening was in vogue in this country was a good deal planted, as at Bushy park, Canons,
Castle Howard. &c. During the rage for the picturesque, it fell into disrepute from its "compact lumpish
parabolic form ;'" but the public are now convinced that there are other beauties besides those peculiarly
adapted for representation by painters, and the taste for trees beautiful or interesting from their flowers,
foliage, or other details, is now reviving. The nuts or capsules are large and mahogany colored, and have
often occasioned regret that they are not edible, like those of the Spanish chesnut. Deer eat them greedily,
and may be seen watching about the trees for their fall during windy weather. In Turkey they are ground
and mixed with horse provender. According to some, swine and sheep may be fattened on them, and poultry
when they are boiled. They are of a saponaceous nature, and broken and steeped in hot water might save
soap, where that article is excessively dear. This tree migrated from the northern parts of Asia into
England by Constantinople, Vienna, Italy, and France. Parkinson in 1629 places it in his orchard as a fruit
tree, and describes the nuts as superior to the ordinary sort.
E. Pavia was so named by Boerhaave, in honor of Peter Paw, a Dutchman, and professor of botany at
Leyden, in 1601.
The other species have beautiful flowers, but are not free growing trees.

and Miscellaneous Particulars.
867. Jonesia. Named in honor of the famous Sir W. Jones, who to his other accomplishments added the
knowledge of botany. The most fragrant tree of India. Large cuttings root well in sand under a hand-
glass.
868. Dracontium. From 8$«xa», a dragon. The stems of some species are mottled like the skin of a snake.
869. Calla A name of one of Pliny's plants, which probably was applied to something of the same natural
order as that now called Calla.
870. Parinarium. The Guiana name of the genus is Parinari. Very fine trees with fine bunches of
terminal flowers, which are succeeded by plum-like fruits, that in hot climates are esteemed and served up
at table. It has been called Petrocarya by Schreber and other Linnxan botanists, who fancy science to depend
upon names.
871. I.imeum. An ancient name of a poisonous plant. It is derived from Xoiuux, pest, poison. It was used,
«ay« Pliny, to poison arrows with. The plant to which modem botany has applied this name is a dangerous
Saururus. From <rxuta, a lizard, and «{*, a tail ; on account of its long and pyramidal tail, which may
lie compared to the tail of a lizard. Aquatic plants with neat foliage, but with no beauty in their ri"w. i-.
litranthus. From «r;», a star, and *►&« , a flower, on account of the star-like dis|>osition of the
segments of the flower. A small Chinese bush with serrated leaves, and spikes of pale whitish green
flowers.
874. Sepias. From ieplem, seven. All the parts of the flower are «n seven. Very neat little Cape plants,
with umbels of white flowers.
300 OCTANDRIA. Class VIII
Class VIII. — OCTANDRIA. 8 Stamens.
This is a class, which, with reference to the plants which compose it, is of much consequence to the botanist
and gardener. To the former it is recommended by the singular Melastomaceous plants which it contains, the
curious Michauxia, and the Jeffersonia, remarkable for its capsule, which opens like a snuff-box. To the gar-
dener it possesses irresistible attraction, not only in the delightful Tetrathecas, Boronias, and Correas of New
Holland, in the Dimocarpus of China, celebrated for its truly excellent fruit, and in the Fuchsias, CEnotheras,
Combretums, and Vacciniums, someof which form the pride of our hardy gardens ; but also in the magnificent
tribe of Heaths, which are certainly the most beautiful of plants under cultivation. This is abundantly at-
tested by the splendid collections of Lee of Hammersmith, Rollison of Tooting, and last, but not least, of Lod-
diges of Hackney, where the precision of science is combined with the allurements of form and coloring.

will root freely in sand under a bell or hand g'acs. The cuttings must not be planted too thick, or they will be
liable to damp". C. speciosa has generally been reckoned difficult to strike from cuttings, but it roots as freely »s
the others if properly managed, and requires the same treatment."
881. Mimusops. Irom tum,-, an ape, and t^n, figure The flowers are thought to resemble the coun-
tenance of a monkey. Ripened cuttings root readily in sand under a hand-glass.
882. OrnitropAe. From «{nf, a bird, and rtvfr,, nourishment. Its fruit is much eaten by small birds. Inthr
Isle de France it is called bois de merle, or t/irush-wood. Cuttings root in sand under a hand-glass.
S8i. Dimocarpvs. From litvfi*{, double, and ««<j«, fruit ; its fruit grows in pairs. These are fruit-bearing
trees, cultivated in China. The fruit is a berry in bunches of a red color, and rather larger than the f,-ni|*
The bunches are small ; the skin of the berry is tough and leathery; the pulp is colorless, semitransp.in nt,
and of a slightly sweet subacid taste. The fruit of D. Litchi is frequently brought to England dried like
raisins ; that of 'D. Longan has beeD ripened by John Knight, Esq. of Lee Castle, in a lofty stove, erected for
the Durpose of growing tropical fruits. A bunch was presented to the Horticultural Society, in September
1816, " supposed to be the only one ever produced in Europe, and which persons well acquainted with the
long-yen in its native places of growth, pronounced to be quite as good as those grown within or ID ar the
tropics." (flort. Trans, ii. 4«'8.)
884. Melicocca. From fuXi, honcv, and xtxxf, fruit; its fruit, which resembles the yolk of an egg, has a
verv sweet flavour mixed with a little acid. This tree is cultivated in some parts of South America and in
Jamaica for its fruit, which grows to the size of a large plum, and is very mellow. The natives suck it for the
sake of the salivation which it produces. In our stoves it thrives well in light loamy soil, and cuttings root in
sand under a hand-glass in heat.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
with the arillus of the seed of a grateful subacid flavor. In the West Indies it is esteemed very wholesome
and nourishing. Here it grows well in loam and peat, and ripened cuttings with all their leaves on root best
in sand under a hand-glass.
886. Metaiba. The vernacular name of the plant in French Guiana. Large cuttings root best under a
hand-glass in sand.
887. Kblreuteria. So named by Laxmann, in honor of Joseph Gottlieb Kolreuter, who published De plan/is
quibusdam Rarioribus, Tubing, 1755, with a dissertation De Insectis Coleopteris. He also made many experi-
ments on the pollen of flowers, hybrid plants, &c. published in the Petersburgh Transactions.
This shrub should be planted in as sheltered a situation as possible, as it will not flower if too much ex-
posed ; and if the wood is not well ripened, the tops of the shoots will be injured by the frost.
888. Guarea. The natives of Cuba call the plant Guara. This tree, though it has an im-onspicuous flower,
yet has fine large leaves. All parts of the plant, especially the bark, smell strong of musk, and may be used
instead of that perfume for many purposes. The wood is full of a bitter resinous substance, which renders it
unfit for rum-hogsheads, being observed to communicate both iU smell and taste to all spirituous liquors:
but it is often cut for staves and heading, when there is a scarcity of other timber. The powder of the bark
is said to be a good emetic ; and is sometimes used among the negroes for that purpose. Ripened cuttings
root in sand under a hand-glass.
889. Amyris. Derived from /it/ppa, myrrh. Its resinous gum has an excellent perfume. Almost every
species of this genus produces some valuable gum or resin. A. gileadensis produces the celebrated balm of
Oilead. It is a shrub with purplish branches, striated a little, with crowded ternate leaves, and protuberant
buds loaded with balsamic resin.

A. Opobalsamum produces the balsam of Mecca. It has pinnate leaves, with sessile leaflets. It grows near
Bederhunin, a village between Mecca and Medina, in a sandy rocky soil, confined to a small tract about a mile
in length, and attains the height of fifteen feet. The balsam is obtained by incision. Neither of these species
are yet introduced to Britain : those we possess grow in loam and peat, and cuttings root freely in a pot of
land under a hand-glass.
8!H). Ximcnia. F'rancis Ximencs was a Spanish naturalist from whom we have, published in 1C15, four works
upon the plants and animals useful in medicine in New Spain. The flowers of this tree have an odor like
frankincense : the fruit is yellow, shiny, the size of a pigeon's egg, with a thin rind and sweet subacid pulp :
it i- eaten by negroes and children in the West Indies. Cuttings root in sand under a band-glass.

servient to a great variety of purposes in the bleak and barren highlands of Scotland, and other northern

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
or sand of any color, provided it be free from irony impregnation, should be procured and mixed with it.
This sand admits the water to penetrate into the soil and reach the roots of the plant, and also to drain away
from the roots so as not to rot them. Pots filled with pure peat-earth arc apt to be cither hard, dry, and im-
penetrable to water, or otherwise as wet as a saturated sponge. The free growing kinds (according to Sweet)
thrive best in good black peat, and like largish pots to grow in. The dwarf and hard-wooded kinds like a
very sandy peat, and smaller pot, well drained with broken potsherds and rough bits of turfy peat ; they also
require less water than the free growing kinds, as they grow chiefly at the Cape on the tops and sides of moun-
tains, and in the crevices of rocks, &c. chiefly in very sandy soil, and but little of it.

and Mhtillanrous Particulars.
The climate for the heaths is n<it required to be warm during winter ; if the frost is excluded, thai will be
enough. Some species, as the K persoluU for example, will even bear to have the ground about ll"
froaen without injury, provided it is not thawed in the sun, or too suddenly, or in a verj warm temperature
In general the heaths mav lie kept in the coldest part of the greenhouse, and those not in Bosrer in pits, well
covered at night with mats or prepared coverings of reeds or straw. Too much tire-heat in u.ntcr will hurt
then as much as anv thin-, as they only require to be kept from frost : mc-l of the kinds might be DTI
through the winter in frames : the onlv difficulty is t'> keep the damp from Ihein.
Heaths require agreal deal of air and light, and therefbrt should be placed neai thi i utrli

any small sand from pits or rivers, or, in default of that, with powdered sandstone. When thev are all planted,
water the whole to li\ them still better, and w lien the moisture has subsided, cover them with a small crystal
or greenish crystal bell-glass fitted within the rim of the pot, and place them in the shade on a spent hot-bed,
keeping them quite close till rooted The free-striking sorts will have roots in two month-, and the other- at

History, Use, Propagation, Cidlurc,
the seeds, if fresh, will begin to come up, when the glasses may be removed by degrees, and the pots kept uoar
the glass, and shaded from the mid-day sun till autumn, when they may be transplanted into i>ots of the
smallest size.
Seeds which are saved in this country may be sown as soon as gathered, if they ripen before November ;
but it after that period, it will be better to preserve them till spring, and then treat them like foreign
seeds. °
Only a few heaths are propagated by layers, such as E. Massoni, retorta, petiolata, and one or two other
delicate sorts, which when layed require two years to throw out roots. On the continent most sorts of heaths
are propagated by layers, because there they are ignorant of the easiest mode of managing cuttings.
One ol the best growers of heaths in Britain is a gardener of the name of Henderson, at Woodhall, in
West Uijhian. This judicious cultivator has had an extensive collection of Erica; for upwards of thirty
years under his care, and has given some account of his mode of management in a late volume (vol. iii. p. 323.)

ol the Caledonian Horticultural Society's Memoirs. He keeps his Ericas, l.c says, " atall times cool and airy,
opening the glasses in winter when there is no frost, and letting the wind blow on them, and using no tire but
in time of frost." " Never," he says, " shift any plant till the pot is quite full of roots. When the plants get
large, several of them will continue in good health for three or four nan without shifting, and Bower weM.
1 have plants of E rctorta here, in pots seven inches in diameter, which are very bushy, being eighteen inches
across, and fourteen inches high above the pot; E. infundibuliformis. two feet and a half in diameter, and
two feet nine inches high; Erica pilosa between rive and six feet high and three feet across, In pots eleven
inches in diameter : these have. not been shifted for five years, and arc in high health, and covered with strong
fine flowers from the mouth of the pot to the top of the plant." {fatal. Mem. iii. 327.)
" A prejudice," Page olwervcs, " having spread that the culture of heaths is difficult, one of the g>
ornaments of the greenhouse has hence of late been neglected; although the method ol culture is ai

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
(Prodromus, &c art. Erica.) Those who complain of the difficulty of glowing the heath, arc often, as
Loddigea remarks, ignorant people who havfc never had a heath to grow.
One circumstance in favor of the culture of heaths is, that they are not subject to insects, or at least very
rarely so [Greenhouse Companion, p. 62.)
The number of species is here reduced to those which are certainly different from each other. Of those
enumerated in garden catalogues many are mere repetitions of each other.
80S. Mtnxirsiii. Named in honor of Mr. Archibald Menzies, an assiduous and successful botanist, who
accompanied Vancouver, in the capacity of his surgeon, in his voyage round the world. He is still living, and
tho ornament of the private circle in which he moves. Small heath-like plants, all hardy, and requiring the
tame cultivation as Erica.
894. Ch/ora. From ^.^s,-, green, in allusion to the color of the dried flower of C. pcrfohata. The whole
■tiant dye* yellow.
895. HU&auxia. Ill memory of Andrew Michaux, botanist to the king of France, who travelled into Sjn.i,

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
900. Hhcxia. A Greek name employed by Pliny to designate a Boragineous plant. It is derived from
ps#vw, to burst ; that is to say, good against ruptures. The hardy species thrive best in a bed of peat- or
they will grow very well ill pots.
901. (Enothcra. Derived from civet, wine, and $■;,»*>, to hunt. The roots of th.s plant, O. biennis, eaten
alter meals, are incentives to wine-drinking, as olives are. This is an ornamental genus of easy culture in
light rich soil, and they increase cither by seeds or cuttings. O. biennis is called the night primrose, because
the flowers usually open between six and seven o'clock in the evening. The mode of their expanding is
curious. The petals arc held together at top by the hooks at the end of the calyx, the segments of which
first separate at bottom and discover the corolla, a long time before it acquires sufficient expansive force to
unhook the calyx at top ; when it has accomplished this, it expands very fast, almost instantaneously, to a
certain point, and then makes a stop, taking a little time to spread out quite flat : it may be half an hour from
the first bursting of the calyx at bottom to the final expansion of the corolla; which commonly becomes
flaccid in the course of the next dav, sooner or later according to ihe heat or coolness of the weather. The

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
from that plant ; as fodder, goats are said to be extremely ibnd of it, and cows and sheep to eat it ; the down of
the seeds mixed with cotton or fur has been manufactured into stockings and other articles of clothing.
E. hirsutum is found only in rich moist soil by water. The leaves smell like scalded codlings or gooseberry
pye when green, but lose that odor when dry. Cattle are rather fond of the plant both recent and dried.
y04. Fuchsia. So named in honor of Leonard Fuchs, a famous German botanist, author of Historia
Stirpium, in 1542, with 516 excellent engravings in wood. F. coccinea is one of the most elegant of deciduous
greenhouse shrubs ; the young wood and nerves of the leaves are tinged with purplish red: the pendent
blossoms, like most produced from the axils of the leaves, as the shoots grow, continue during the greater
|wrt of the growing season, and are succeeded as they fade by a purple berry. The finest specimen iu England
of this species is at Salt-Hill.
Many other species have been lately introduced, some of which will probably be very handsome. South
America contains some most splendid species, of which we know nothing in this country.
905. Jambolifcra. Yromfe.o, to bear, and Jambol, the name of a Malabar fruit. Cuttings strike freely in
sand under a hand-glass.
906. Oxycoccus. From oats, acid, and xoxxoc, fruit ; on account of its acidity. A genus well distinguished
from Vacciniurn, by the narrow revolute segments of corolla. These arc pretty little trailing evergreen plants,
to which a peat soil and rather a moist situation are absolutely necessary : they are very little changed by
culture.
O. palustris bears edible berries which are gathered wild both in England and Scotland, and made into
tarts Lightfoot says, twenty or thirty pounds worth arc sold each market day, for five or six weeks together,

in the town of Langtown, on the borders of Cumberland. The plant might no doubt be cultivated with equal
case as the American species.
O. macrocarpus furnishes the cranberries sent from America : it was first cultivated in this country by
Sir J. Banks, on the margin of a pond yHori. Trans, i. 71.), and subsequently both in moist and dry situations
by different cultivators. Peat earth is essential to every mode of culture ; but a much less degree of moisture
will do than was at first believed. Salisbury found it do very well in pots of bog earth set in the shade ; and
Milne found "vigorous shoots and abundant crops produced on dry beds of peat earth, even in the warm
summer of 1888." The American cranberry he found easier to cultivate than the common sort : but Hallct
found both the cranberry and bilberry succeed perfectly under such treatment. (Hort. Trans, iv. 483, and v. 27ft
907. Vnccinium. A name, the derivation of which is not known. Neither are commentators more decided
as to what was the Vaccinium of the Latins. The only conclusion to which they have come, is that the
Vaccinia nigra of Virgil are the same as the ui>.a* ictxitSot of the Greek*. The ipoclM are neat little c»er-
green under shrubs, and inhabitants of moist alpine or subalpine regions in peat earth.
V. Myrtillus is an elegant and also a fruit-bearing plant. The young Beafa green leaves, and wax-like red
flowers appear in May, and towards autumn the leaves grow darker and more tirin, md the ripe ben
gathered in the north for tarts, and in Devonshire and Poland are eaten with clotted cream. tr.J
The berries are very acceptable to children, either eaten b) themselves or with milk, or in tarts. 1 he moor,

sheep are not fond of it; horses and cows refuse it (Withering.) The berries have an astringent quality .

landers eat them with milk, and make them into tarts and jellies, which last they mix with whisky to give it
a relish to strangers.
V. uliginofum grows taller than the common bilberry, and has large globular, black, glaucous fruit These
have less flavor, but abound with a weak acid juice. (Eng. Bot.) In large quantities it occasions giddiness,
and a slight head-ache, especially when full grown and quite ripe. (Linn. Suec. and Withering.) Many
vintners in France are said to make use of the juice to color their wines red. (Withering.) They furnish an
ardent spirit which is highly volatile and intoxicating. The Alpine birds feed upon the fruit, and it is very
common in their haunts. (Villars.)
V. Vitis idaea is of very humble growth and almost herbaceous, though evergreen. The berries are red,
acid, astringent, and bitter. They are scarcely to be eaten raw, and though made into pies in Derbyshire,
where they are called cow-berries, their flavor is far inferior to the cranberry. Their best use is for making a
rob or jelly, which is eaten with all kinds of roast meat in Sweden, and is far preferable to that of the red
currant as a sauce for venison. It is also an excellent medicine in colds, sore throats, and all irritation of the
mouth or fauces. (Smith, Brit, and Eng. Bot.) Linnaus says, that thev arc sent in large quantities from
West Bothnia to Stockholm for pickling, and the same thing is confirmed by Dr. Clarke. Miller was in.
formed that this plant was used for edgings in Norway.
V. tenellum is a very good fruit

and Miscellaneous Particulars.
908. Memecylon. The Greek name of the fruit of the Arbutus. The shrub now so called has a certain
degree of resemblance to the Arbutus. Young cuttings plunged in sand in heat and covered with a hand-
glass will root freely.
909. Lagetta. This plant in Jamaica is called Lagetto. Ripened cuttings will root in sand under a hand-
glass.
910. Daphne. The Greek name of the Laurel. This is a genus of diminutive shrubs, mostly evergreens
of great beauty and fragrance in the flower, and with a peculiar velvei texture in the leaf. It is mentioned by
Linna-us as a characteristic of the genus, that the terminating buds of the shoots produce leaves, and the
lateral ones flowers. This affords a hint to the cultivator to be sparing of his knife.
I). Mezereum ( Madzaryobn is the Persian name according to rUchardsoal, Lawreole gaiHBe, Kr.,
Krllerhals, Ger., and l&ureola femina, Ital., is an old inhabitant of the shrubbery, and deservedly much
admired for its precocity and fragrance. It thrives well in loamy soil, and will grow in I
drip of other trees. It is a native of all parts of Europe from Lapland to Sicily, but was first received from
Elbing before it was observed to be a native. The roots ot Mezerenn acquire a veiv large >:/>■ in proport
the branches, and have more the character of the fusiform or ramose roots of a herbaceous, than oi a la-
vegetable. They are remarkably hot and acrid, and have long and In most countries been a popular topical

921. Polygonum. From xo\u(, many, and ywu, knee, many joints. These are nearly all common weeds
of temperate climates. P. Bistorta, being one of the strongest vegetable astringents, might well be applied to
the purpose of tanning leather, if it could be procured in sufficient quantity. The young snoots were formerly
eaten in herb-puddings in the north of England, where the plant is known by the name of Easter Giant, and
about Manchester they are substituted for greens under tne name of Patience Dock. {Curtis, Withering.)
The root was formerly considered to be alexipharmic and sudorific.
P. viviparum is so named on account of the flowers frequently changing into vegetable bulbs. The roots
have the same qualities as those of P. Bistorta, and are eaten in Sweden and Lapland, Siberia and Tartary.
P. amphibium is one of the most difficult weeds to eradicate from recovered alluvial lands, and has no
equal in this respect unless Equisetum. The roots, which in the water are properly stems, are found to a
great depth in such soils ; and though by fallowing or otherwise stirring the surface, the leaves may be pre-
vented from showing themselves for several years ; yet if the field be allowed to lie a year in grass, the surface
will be found abounding with Polygonum. Many tracts in Scotland which have been recovered from rivers
and estuaries for an unknown series of years still abound with this plant, and as under such circumstances it
never advances so far as to flower and seed, the individuals must be the same which formerly were suspended
in the water. As an aquatic, it has a gay, showy appearance, when in flower.
P. Hydropiper is a powerful diuretic, and will dye woollen cloth of a yellow color.
P. tinctorium, and also chinense and aviculare, are cultivated in China for dying cloth of a beautiful blue
or green.

and Miscellaneous Particulars.
F. orientate is a well known annual, showy, and fit for shrubberies. The seeds were first sent to Europe by
Toumefort, who saw it growing in the garden of the monks of the three churches near Mount Ararat They
cultivate this plant there, not only for the beauty of the flowers, but for its medicinal qualities, which are the
same with those attributed to our common species. {Mill. Fig.) The seeds are farinaceous.
P. aviculare is so named from the gratefulness of its seeds to small birds ; the English name, knot-grass,
from the knottiness of the stem, and because it is eaten by cattle ; many such plants having obtained the name
of grass, though they bear no similitude to real grasses. Hogs eat it with great avidity, and hence it is known
in many countries by the name of hogweed. All other domestic quadrupeds are said to eat it The seeds are
useful for every purpose in which those of buckwheat are employed, but they are much smaller.
P. Fagopyrum, (Fagus, beech, and xu^»<, com, its grain is like the mast of beech,1 properly beech wheat, lllcd
noir or Sarrazin, Fr. Buckwheat is considered a native of Asia and not of Europe, though sometimes found
in a seemingly wild state. It will not, however, bear the frosts of our springs or the severity of winter. In
China and other countries of the East, it is cultivated as a bread com. The flower is also used in cookery and
bread-making in various parts of Europe, to make cakes and crumpets in England, and as rice or gruel in
Germany and Poland. The seed is said to be excellent for horses and poultry, the flowers for bees, and the
plant gTeen for soiling cows, cattle, sheep or swine. As an agricultural plant it is valuable, U standing ml) u
short time on the ground ; but it produces little straw for manure.

927. Verea. So named after the late James Vere, Esq., a gentleman of fortune, who patronized gardening
and had once a fine collection of living plants. The species thrive best in sandy loam, and should be plunged

plants from the notches of the margin. (Bot. Cult. 35.)

934. Laurus. From the Celtic blaur (the b is dropped in pronunciation, laur), green. The laurel is perpe-
tually green. This genus contains several important spice or drug-bearing trees, besides the poetical laurel and
a fruit tree
L Cinnamomum (ou. China Amomum) has a smooth ash-colored bark, a short erect trunk, and wide
spreading branches, wnich form an elegant head. The leaves are of a bright green above, pale beneath, and
white veined ; the flowers are in panicles, have no shew, and are inodorous, or perhaps somewhat foetid ; the
fruit is the size of a middling olive, soft, insipid, and of a deep blue ; it encloses a nut, the kernel of which
germinates soon after it falls, and therefore cannot easily be transported to a distance. The timber is white,
and not very solid ; the root is thick and branching, and exudes abundance of camphor. The inner bark forms
the cinnamon of commerce. There are many varieties, and probably some of them species, especially in the
island of Ceylon, but only four are said to be barked. Besides Ceylon, the tree grows plentifully in Malabar,
Cochin China, Sumatra, and the Eastern islands. It has been cultivated in the Brazils, the Mauritius, India,
Jamaica, and other places. The soil in which it thrives best is nearly pure quartz sand. That of the cinna-
mon garden near Colombo in Ceylon, was found by Dr. Davy to consist of 98-5 of silicious sand, and of 1-0
only of vegetable matter in 100 parts " The garden is nearly on a level with the lake of Colombo ; its situ-
ation is sheltered ; the climate is remarkably damp ; showers are frequent, and the temperature is high and
uncommonly equable." {Davy's Ceylon, p. 39.)
The trees that grow in the valleys, in a white sandy soil, are fit to be barked when four or five years old, but
those in a wet soil or in shady places, require to be seven or eight years of age. The bark is goodfor nothing if
the tree be older than eighteen years. The tree was formerly propagated by a species of pigeon that ate the
fruit and voided the seed ; but since Falck, one of the Dutch governors, about the middle of the eighteenth
century, raised it from berries sown in his garden, it has been regularly cultivated.
The barking commences early in May, and continues until late in October. Branches of three years old are
selected, and topped off with a pruning knife or bill hook. To remove the bark a longitudinal incision is made
through it on both sides of the shoot, so that it can be gradually loosened and taken off entire, forming hollow
cylinders. The bark in this state, tied up in bundles, is allowed to remain for twenty-four hours, by which a
fermentation is produced that facilitates the separation of the epidermis, which, with the green pulpy matter
under it, is carefully scraped off The bark now soon dries, contracts, and assumes the quilled form, after
which the smaller pieces are put within the larger. The cinnamon, when dry, is tied up in bundles of 30 lbs.
weight, and carried to the Government store-house, where the quality is determined by inspection of the
bundles. It was formerly chewed for this purpose ; and the surgeons who used to be thus employed, had their

now seldom had recourse to.
Cinnamon bark is astringent, cordial, and tonic. But the principal use of cinnamon is to cover the nauseous
ttate of other remedies. ( Thomson's London Dispensatory, :>".4.)
An oil is procured from the leaves and roots of cinnamon ; the former is called the oil of cloves, and the latter
the oil of camphor : both are powerfully stimulant, and used in cramps of the stomach, flatulent colic, hiccough,
toothach, and nervous langour.
According to Sweet L C'innamomum is the hardest plant of the genus to cultivate in our stoves. " I have
scarcely," he savs, " ever seen it do well any where but at Messrs. Loddiges," who generally keep their stoves
warmer than other gardeners usually do ; and the cinnamon likes a warm atmosphere, and very little water in
winter. It grows best in a mixture of sandy loam and peat, the pots being well drained with small potsnerds.
Ripened cuttings soon take root in a pot of sand, plunged under a hand-glass, in a good moist heat. (But.
Cult. 74.)
The plant has regularly flowered and ripened seeds in the hothouse of the Hishop of Winchester for several
years past.
|* Cassia is also decorticated like the cinnamon, but it is considered of inferior value, on account of containing
a gTeater proportion of mucilage. What are called Cassia buds, are not obtained from this tree, but are the
hexangular fleshy receptacles of the seed of the L. C'innamomum. Pisjnla bark and buds are nan in tbl lame
manner as cinnamon bark : the tree also affords an oil of similar use. In our stoves, the cassia (.'r* « I mi. re

(BoL Cult. 74.)
L. Camphora, an alteration of the Arabic name, kafour, is nearly allied to the cinnamon tree. The roots.
wood, and leaves of this tree have a very strong odor of camphor ; and from the roots and smaller branches it
is obtained by distillation. They are cut into chips, which are suspended in a net within a kind of still or iron
pot, the bottom of which is covered with water, and an earthen head fitted to it ; heat is then applied, and the
steam of the toiling water, penetrating the contents of the net, elevates the camphor into the capital, where il
concretes on straws, with which this part of the apparatus is lined. Camphor is stimulant, narcotic. Hid
diaphoretic, but it* stimulant powers are very tr.m-itory, and followed by Sedative eflfects. In moderate lows
it operates as a cordial, increasing the heat* of the body, and exhilarating, besides softening, and rentier' n|

deleterious effects. The greater part of the camphor brought to Europe is obtained in Sumatra from the
Dryobalanops Camphora. This tree is cut and split, and the camphor which is found concreted in the heart ot
it is picked out and washed in a ley of soap. Zea describes a variety of camphor which is procured in South
America from a tree, the botanical characters of which are not yet known, but which is termed caratta by the
natives. The camphor exudes from the bark in the form of tears. {Thomson's London Dispensatory, 356.)
L. Chloroxylon has its specific from the color of the wood, x\u$ov, green, and guXw, wood ; it is esteemed
one of the best timber trees in Jamaica, and used on all occasions where strength and durability arc required :
being both hard and tough, it answers better than any other wood for the cogs of sugar mills.
L nobilis, the Laurier, Fr., Lorbecrbaum, Ger., Alloro," Ital., Laurel, Span., the Laurus of the Romans,
and Daphne of the Greeks, was designated nobilis by Linnaeus, because it was consecrated to priests, sacrifices,
and heroes in the ages of antiquity, and has been celebrated accordingly. To the poet and sculptor it still
affords emblems for victorious heroes ; and it is also used in cookery and medicine. In the south of Italy it
grows to a sufficient height to be considered a tree ; but is so prolific in suckers and low shoots as always to
have the character of a shrub. It forms a dense and yet broken and picturesque mass of a very fine deep
green, inclining to olive, and is abundantly covered with berries, which are dark purple or black, when ripe.
Oil is obtained from the latter by boiling water. Both the leaves and the berries have a sweet fragrant odour,
and an aromatic, astringent taste ; and the oil, which is of a yellowish green color, has a stronger but similar
odor and taste. Water distilled from the leaves shews traces of prussic acid ; and it is probably on this
component that their medicinal and poisonous property depend. Leaves, berries, and oil are narcotic and
carminative. [Thomson's London Disjiensatury, 360.)
L indica grows in the Canary Isles and Virginia. The wood is of a yellow color, not heavy, good for
building, but better still for furniture : it is called Vigniatico in the island of Madeira, and is probably what is
imported into England under the name of Madeira mahogany. It is hardly to be distinguished from
mahogany, except that it is somewhat less brown. (Hawksw. Voy. ii. p. 5.)
L Persea (Persea is a name under which Theophrastus describes an Egyptian tree not now known,) has a
trunk as large as our common apple tree ; the bark is smooth, and of an ash color ; the branches are very
succulent and soft, beset with pretty large oblong smooth leaves, like those of laurel, of a deep green color.
The flowers are, for the most part, produced towards the extremities of the branches. The fruit is the size of
one of our biggest pears. The pulp of the fruit is covered with a tough skinny coat, and contains a
large rugged seed, which is v. rapped up in one or two thin membranous covers. This fruit is held in
great esteem in the West Indies: the pulp is of a pretty firm consistence, and has a delicate rich
flavor ; it gains upon the palate of most persons, and becomes soon agreeable even to those who cannot
like it at first; but it is so rich and mild, that most people make use of some spice or pungent substance
to give it a poignancy ; and, for this purpose, some make use of wine, some of sugar, some of lime-
juice, but most of pepper and salt. This fruit seems equally agreeable to the horse, the cow, the dog, and
the cat, as well as to all sorts of birds; when plentiful, it makes a great part of the delicacies of the negroes.
{Browne.)
L. Borbonea was regarded by Plumier as a genus distinct from Laurus, and he applied what is now its specific
name, in memory of Gaston Bourbon, son of Henry IV. and uncle of Louis XIV. It is a very common tree
in swamps in Carolina, and affords a fine grained wood excellent for cabinets ; some of the best resembles
watered satin.
L. Sassafras (Sassafras is an alteration of the Spanish word Salsafras, which signifies Saxifrage, the virtues
of which arc attributed by the Spanish Americans to this plant,) has the flowers often imperfect as to the male
and female organ*, which, before observation was so accurate and scientific as at present, led to the conclusion

that one plant bore only males and the other only hermaphrodites ; it is now found the alleged males are only
imperfect hermaphrodites. The wood, root, and birk have a fragrant odor, and a sweetish aromatic taste :
their sensible qualities and virtues depend on an essential oil, which can be obtained separate by distilling the
chips or the bark with water : it is a stimulating diaphoretic and diuretic, and has been employed in cases of
scurvy, chronic rheumatism, gout, and in cutaneous affections ; but its effects are very uncertain ; and even the
diaphoresis which it is supposed to occasion may rather be ascribed to the guaiac, and other more powerful
medicine*, with which it is generally combined. (Thomson's London Dis/wtisatory, 361.)
The species are well divided into several genera, such as Laurus, Tetranthera, Cinnamomum, and others :
but as this division has not been applied to the old species of Laurus generally, it has not been practicable to
adopt it here.
935. Anacardium. From octet, in composition, like, and xu^iioc, heart, in allusion to the form of the nut.
This is an elegant tree, bearing panicled corymbs of sweet-smelling flowers, succeeded by an edible fruit of the
pome kind, of a yellow or red color. This fruit or apple has an agreeable sub-acid flavor, with some degree of
astringency. The juice expressed and fermented yields a pleasant wine ; and distilled, a spirit is drawn from
it, far exceeding arrack or rum, making an admirable punch, and |>owerfully promoting urine. The lined
and broken kernels are occasionally imported for mixing with old Madeira wine, the flavor of which they
improve prodigiously. Some planters in the West Indies roast the ripe fruit, or slice one or two into a bowi
of punch, to give it a pleasant flavor. The astringency of the juice has recommended it as a very signal
remedy in dropsical habits.
The nut protrudes from one end of the apple. (.Lo.-ig.) It is of the size and shape of a hare's kidney, but is
much larger at the end next the fruit than at the other. The outer shell is of an ash color, and very smooth,
under this is another which covers the kernel ; between these there is a thick inflammable oil, which is very
caustic; this will raise blisters on the skin, and has often been very troublesome to those who have in-
cautiously put the nuts into their mouths to break the shell. This oil has been used with great success in
eating off ring-worms, cancerous ulcers, and corns ; but it ought to be applied with caution. The kernel w hen
Broth, has a most delicious taste, and abounds with a sweet milky juice. It is an ingredient in puddings, ftc
When older it is generally roasted ; and in this state is not so proper for costive habits. Ground with cacao.
it makes an excellent chocolate When kept too long it becomes shrivelled, and loses its flavor and Iwst
qualities. The thick oil of the shell tinges linen of a rusty iron-color, which can hardly be got out ; and if
any wood be smeared with the oil, it prevents the wood from decaying.
From the body of the tree is procured, by tapping or incision, a milky juice, which will stain linen of a
deep black, that cannot be washed out again.
This tree also annually transudes from five to ten or twelve pounds weight of a fine semi-transparent gum,
similar to gum arabic. and not inferior to it in virtue or quality, except that it has a slight astringency, which,
perhaps, renders it in some respects more valuable. (Long's Jam. iii. 725, &c.)
As a stove-plant it grows in light loam or rich mould, and ripe cuttings with their leaves, planted in ■
pot of sand, and plunged under a handglass, will strike root.
936. Cassytha. The Greek name of the Cuscuta, which this plant much resembles in habit and character*
of analogy. Its affinity, however, is very curious; from a minute analysis of its constituent parts it has
been decided by the most learned botanists to be referable to Laurina?.

History, Use, Propagation, Culturt,
Ammianus Marcellinus, lib. xii., says, '* the H/ia is a river, on the border of which grows a root, which bears
its name, and is much renowned in medicine." The construction of the specific names confirms this ; R/ia
ponticum, Rha barbarum, whence the name Rhubarb was obtained.
R. Rhaponticum was thought to be the true rhubarb of druggists, till Dr. Hope of Edinburgh described the
R. palmatum, some seeds of which he had received from Russia, as of the genuine species. It is not, however,
finally settled, whether these species or the R. compactum yield the foreign roots, nor does it appear of much
consequence, as these three species agree so nearly in their medical properties, that any of them may be used
with equal certainty of success. All the rhubarb of commerce, known under the names Turkey or Russian, and
East Indian or Chinese, grows on the declivities of the chain of mountains in Tartary which stretches from
the Chinese town Sini to the lake Kokonor near Thibet. The soil is light and sandy ; and the Bucharians
assert that the best grows in the shade on the southern side of the mountains. Rhubarb, however, is also
cultivated in China, in the province of Chen-See, where it is called Hai-houng. In Tartary, the roots are taken
up twice a-year, in spring and in autumn, and after being cleansed and decorticated, and the smaller branches
cut off, the body of the root is divided transversely into pieces of a moderate size, which are placed on tables,
and turned three or four times a-day, during five or six days. A hole is then bored through each piece, by
which it is hung up to dry, exposed to the air and wind, but sheltered from the sun. In about two months,
the roots have lost seven parts in eight of their weight, and are fit for the market. In China, the roots are not
dug up till winter ; and the cultivators, after cleaning, scraping off the bark, and cutting them, dry the slices
by frequently turning them on stone slabs heated by a fire underneath ; alter which, the drying is completed by
nan^int! them up in the air exposed to the greatest heat of the sun. (Thomson's London Dispensatory, 471.)
Rhubarb has been cultivated in different parts of Britain with a view to drying the root for medical pur-
poses with the most perfect success ; but such is the prejudice in favor of the foreign article, that sufficient de-

mtnd was not produced to encourage the cultivator. The only point in which British culture wai rather
deficient was in the drying, but that a little experience would soon have overcome.
It Hhaponticum and hybridum, indeed any of the species, are or may be cultivated for the petioles of the
leaves in a green state, to be used in tarts and pies, as a substitute or along with gooseberries. All that is re-
quired is a dry soil well enriched and trenched two, or better, three feet deep. The plants the year after plant-
ing may have half their leaves slipped on" for the cook, as soon as they arrive at full growth. Keeping the
plants from flowering will obviously strengthen the leaves.
Tart rhubarb may be forced either by taking up the roots and planting them in pots, or by covering them
with dung where they grow in the open garden, as is done with sea-kale. It may also be blanched, as is done
with that vegetable iSee Encyc. of Gard. art. Rheum.)
K. Kibes is so called from a rob made from its stalks, and called Rybis of Seraptas.
It is thought that all the supposed species are reducible to Rhaponticum, undulatum, palmatum, and ribes.
It is certainly very difficult to distinguish the others.

I'h is is the only plant of the class Enneandria that grows wild in Britain. It is an elegant aquatic. " The
water-Gladiole, or grassie-Kush," says Gerarde, " is of all others the fairest and most pleasant to behold, and
serveth very well for the decking and trimming up of houses, because of the beautie and braveric thereof."
The corolla varies in different shades of red, or purple mixed with white, and is sometimes entirely white.
The stem at bottom and the peduncles at top are often tinged with red. The number three is evidently pre-
dominant in the fructification ; the corolla being doubly tripetalous, the stamens thrice three, the pistils six,
the capsules six, in a hexagon form, the involucre three-leaved.

This is the last of the Linncan classes in which the stamens are distinct, and bear any determined relation
to the other |.^rU of the flower. It is composed of portions of a considerable number of natural orders, of
which the most important is Leguminosae, with which the class usually is made to commence. These arc of
two kinds : those which are papilionaceous, and those which have a regular expanded flower. The former
are remarkable in their kind for bearing distinct stamens combined with a papilionaceous corolla ; the
greater part are natives of New Holland or the Cape of Good Hope, a very few of the Northern Hemisphere;
and a!, ol them ornamental plants. Of those with regular flowers the most beautiful genus is the
Bauhinia, which, in the latitudes of the tropics, constitutes the most formidable obstacle to the passage of
human beings through the woods, which are interlaced in every direction by the climbing or leaning steins
of these and other plants commonly called Lianes ; the most extensive genus is Cassia, the species of which
are little esteemed as objects of ornament, but of material importance in medicine; the famous Senna of the
sho|W being the produce of at least three species. The Ha?matoxylon and Swietenia, the one producing
Logwood, the other Mahogany, are included in this class, as are the important Quassia drug, and the beautiful
tribes of Kalmias, Rhododendrons, and Andromedas.
The second and succeeding orders are chiefly occupied by the most important of the genera of the nntnral
order of Caryophyllea?, the whole of which have lately been remodelled and arranged, under the direction of
Decandolle, by M. Scringe, an ingenious Swiss botanist. Of this order the most extensive genus is Silene,
and the most beautiful Dianthus, out of which the tine carnations, pinks, and piccotees of the florist have
been obtained

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
940. Kdwaidsia- Named after the late Mr. Sydenham Edwards, a celebrated botanical draughtsman. The
reputation of the Botanical Magazine has arisen almost wholly from the skill he displayed in the management
of the figures of that work. These plants are hardy enough to survive through our winters out of doors,
when they are not very severe : but are best protected under a frame, or planted in a conservatory they
generally ripen seeds, by which, or by young cuttingir planted under a bell-glass in sand, they may be readily
emrcased. (But. Cult. 183.) ' '

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
943. Anagyris. Fiord***, like, and yv;oe, a circle. Its pod is curved inwards at its extremity. Small trees
native ot the South ot Europe and North of Africa, and one doubtful species of Nepal. Y'oung cuttings root
in sand under a hand-glass.
944. ThermomtU. So named from the resemblance of the flower to that of a Lupine. This genus is culti-
vated with difficulty : it grows best in a light loamv soil, and may be increased by seed ; dividing the root is
liable to injure the plant, so that it is increased with difficulty by that means. (Bot. Cult. 427.1
945. Virgilia. A genus dedicated by Lamarck to the poet Virgil, whose Georgics contain many things
interesting to botanists.
946. Cyclopia Named by Ventenat, from z-jr.?.os, a circle, and ms, a foot, in allusion to the replicate circle
which is found about the base of the pods.
9*7. Bap/ixia. So named from P«ttu, to dye, in allusion to the economical properties of some species
Herbaceous plants of easy cultivation, and as border flowers ornamental.
948 Podalyria. Podalyrus was a son of .Esculapius. Small Cape shrubs, with simple silky leaves and
purple blossoms. The species may be grown in leaf mould and peat, or peat loam, and rooted by cuttings in
sand, or raised from seeds.
949. Chorozemia. M. Labillardicre originally discovered this plant upon the south-west coa^ of New
Order I.

rinding many salt springs, hit party hail just met with an ample supply of fresh water. This welcome refresh-
ment, of which he rrtrnlfs feelingly in his book, seems to have suggested a name for this plant, which he had
properly determined t<> constitute a new genus. He called it Chorozjhna, evidently from xei*f' a dance or

History, Use, Propagation, Culture.
9.14. Gompholobium. The name of this genus alludes to the tumid shape of the legume, which swells from
a narrow base upwards ; according to the primary signification of yoyupat, a word thence used to signify a
club or wedge, or any thing formed upon a similar principle. Delicate plants, difficult to preserve, requiring
a large proportion of sand in the peat, and moderate watering. Young cuttings root under a bell-glass in
sand.
955. Burtonia. A genus defined in the Hortus Kewensis, without an explanation of the origin of the name.
This plant, Sweet observes, requires more than ordinary treatment to keep it in good health ; an equal mixture
of very sandy loam and peat is the best soil for it, and the pots to be well drained with small potsherds, that
the water may pass offfreely, as nothing is more injurious to it than too much water. Young cuttings are not
difficult to rout, planted in sand under a bell-glass ; it may also be raised from seeds, which are sometimes pro-
cured. {Bot. Cult. 156.)
956. Jacksonia. Named after Mr. Jackson, formerly librarian to Aylmer Bourke Lambert, and an excellent
practical botanist, of whom too little is known. Young cuttings will root in sand under a bell-glass, or ripened
ones under a hand-glass.
957. Viminaria. From vimen, a twig. The appearance of the species which have no leaves is that of a
bundle of naked twigs.

358. Sphttrololiium. From rqeu(et, a sphere ; the pods being nearly spherical. See Jacksonia.
959. Aotus. l-'nim a, privative, and «ra, ears, in allusion to the want of the appendages to the calyx in

960. Dillwynia. Named by Sir James Edward Smith, after Mr. Ia wis Weston Dillwyn, whose labors upon
Conferva? and other parts of British botany are well known. These plants being liable to differ from wet, the
pots must be well drained with sherds and refuse peat sittings. Young cuttings root freely in sand under a

of various other works of merit These arc small Xew Holland bushes, with numerous yellow flowers, fre-
quently brown on the outside.
966. Davicsia. Xamed after the Rev. Hugh Davies, a Welsh botanist. Plants like furze. The species
root best when the cuttings are somewhat ripened and planted in pots of sand, and covered with a hand-glass
without bottom heat.
9i7. Mirbcli*. In honor of Mr. Mirbel, a distinguished French phvsiologieal botanist, whose elucidations of
the reticulated structure of vegetables make it proper to consecrate to his merits plants remarkable for their
reticulation.
!>68. Ccrcis. Ki»xic is a name of Theophrastus, supposed to have appertained to the tree now so called.
Gainier or Arbrc rie Judee, Fr., Arbold Amor, Span. Handsome low trees, with singular leaves and
tine shewy flowers. These having an agreeable poignancy, and being abundant on the branches, are fre-
quently eaten in salads on the continent, and those of the C, canadensis are pickled by the French families in
Canada. The wood of both species is finely veined with black and groen, and takes a good polish ; and the
young branches of the Canadian species are said to dye wool of a fine nankeen color. They may be pro-
pagated either by layers or seeds : the latter make the best plants. Gerarde, in compliance with the popular
notions of his time, says, " this is the tree whereon Judas did hang himselfe: and not upon the elder tree, as
it is said."
969. Scholia. So named by Jacquin, in memory of Richard van dcr Schott, a Dutchman, gardener at
Schoenbrunn, and his companion in his travels. This beautiful genus has lately been increased by Burchcll,
the African traveller. " They require," Sweet observes, " rather more warmth than a common greenhouse,
to keep them in good health through the winter. The coldest part of the stove will suit them better : but
they should not be plunged in the tan, as they want no bottom heat. A mixture of loam and peat is the best
soil for them ; and cuttings planted in sand, and plunged in mould (not in tanl, under a hand-glass, will
strike root." {Bot. Cult. U&)

■roods they are great ornaments of the trees, among which they climb in every direction. The stem of
H.iuhiiiia scandens, which had twined around a smaller plant, is said to have been the origin of Ssculapius'l
•rattan rod, which he brought from India.
971. Afxelia. Named by Sir J. E. Smith, after Dr. Adam Afzelius, an amiable and excellent Swedish
botanist, resident for many years, in the service of the African Company, at the colony of Sierra Leone and
now living at L'psal.
'.'72. llymentea. A poetical application of this plant, the leaves of which grow in pairs, to Hymen, the god
of marriage. Courbnrit is a vernacular American name. This tree is abundant in the West Indies, where it
grows to a large size, with a spreading head. It has stiff sub-perfoliate leaves obliquelv placed, and' terminal
spikes of flowers, which arc succeeded by thick, fleshy, brown pods, shaped like those of the garden bean ; they
are six inches long, and two inches and a half broad, of a purplish brown color, and a ligneous consistence,
with a large suture on both edges ; they contain three or four roundish compressed seeds, divided by transverse
partitions, and inclosed in a whitish substance of fine filaments, as sweet as honcv. The Indians eat this
substance with great avidity, though it is apt to purge when frexh gathered, but it loses this quality as it
grows old.
Between the principal roots of the tree exudes a fine transparent resin, yellowish or red, which is collected
in large lumps, is called gum Anime, and makes the finest varnish that is known, superior even to the
Chinese lacca : for this latter use it is dissolved in the highest rectified spirits of wine. It bums readily, and
with a clear flame, emitting a grateful and fragrant smell, for which reason it is sometimes ordered by w.iv of

contractions of the sinews. The solution in spirits has been thought not inferior to Guaiacum in venereal
cases. A decoction of the leaves expels flatulency, and gives ease in colicky pains, by gently opening the
bowels ; and the inward bark is an excellent vermifuge in substance or decoction.
The tree is excellent timber ; but it must be very old before it is cut, otherwise the heart will be but small.
It is in great request for wheel-work in the sugar-mills, particularly for cogs to the wheels, being extremely
hard and tough : it is so heavy, that a foot cube weighs about a hundred i>ounds, and it will take a fine polish.
It is much inhabited by wild honey bees. (Browne.)
Resides this lcx-ust-trec, there is the American tree of that name, Robinia Pseud acacia, and the locust-tree
of kcripturc, teratoma siliqua.

979 Ci/iun/utia. A name contrived to indicate the peculiar form of the pods of this genus, which grow
from the old stems and branches of the tree. Large cuttings root best planted in sand, and plunged in heat
under a hand-glass.
974. Cassia. According to Olaus Celsus, this name is to be traced to the Hebrew, Krtxioth, rendered bj
Ktwid) in the Scptuagint, and Latinized by Cassia. Cuttings of the species, which do not seed freely, root in
pots of sand, in moist heat, and covered by a hand-glass.
Of the trivial names of different s|iecies of Cassia, that of Absi.s is the name under which it is dcscplKtl by
Professor Alpinus, and is sup|K>sed to have arisen from a river of Palestine of that name. Tagera is a Malabar
name, Sopite ra, an Kgyptian name, and Sennit, the Arabic name of the plant — Sa-nntt.

975. Cat/iartocarpus. From z«Ju<», to purge, and **{T«,-, fruit ; the fruit of the species being a strong
cathartic. The species may be treated as Cassia.
976. ParUinsonia. So named by Plumier, in memory of John Parkinson, apothecary, of London, author of
Paradisus Terestrig, 1629, and Theatrum Botanieum, 1*640. It is a handsome low tree", not unlike the Labur-
num, and planted in the West Indies near houses, as the latter is in this country.
977. Poinciana. So named by Tournefort, in memory of I)e Poinci, governor of the Antilles, placed bv
Lmnams among the promoters of botany.
P. pulcherrima is a low spiny tree, with an odor, when the leaves are bruised, like savin. It is a native of
both Indies, and in Barbadoes is planted in hedges, whence the name of flower-fence, or Spanish carnations,
which it is there called In our stoves they require a strong heat to make them flower well. They are readily
increased either by cuttings or seeds.
978. C<esalpinia. So named by Plumier, in honor of Andreas Casalpinus, chief physician to Pope
Clement VIII., and the father of systematic arrangement in plants, in his now verv scarce work entitled
De Plantis, libri sedecim, Flor. 1583. He died at Rome in 1602. The wood of all the genus may be used in
dvmg. In our stoves the plants are thorny, and, therefore, not being much liked, are seldom surlered to grow
large enough to flower freely.
C. sappan is a prickly tree, with the heart of the wood red. heavy, and verv hard : it dves a beautiful red
which, however, is said not to stand. It is very durable in sea-water, and exported abundantly bv the Chim-v
for trenails in ship-building, and as a dye. "
C. .crista and lirasilien-is afford the Brazil wood used in dying, and extensively imported to England from
the \\ est Indies. I he timber of the last species is elastic, tough, and durable, and takes a fine polish ; it is of
a beautiful orange-color, full of resin, and yields a fine full tincture by infusion The l>est Brazil wood
said to be produced by Ca?salpinia echinata. " Cuttings, Sweet ob.-erves, will not root fretlv, but will sometimes
succeed if taken off ma growing state, but not too young, and plunged in a pot of sand,' under a hand-glass
in moist heat. (Bot. Cult. Si) ° '

981. Hiiff/mtnseggia. Named by Cavanilles, after John Charles Hoffinansogg, whom he calls a distinguished
naturalist. It may be with some propriety be employed to commemorate the merits of the present distinguish-
ed Count Hoflinansegg. Cuttings, somewhat ripened, root under a hand-glass in sand.
989. fill aiwfai III From <tbr.v, a gland, and «>.V;«, an anther. The essential character of the genus is to
have each anther tipped with a gland. Large cuttings, with the leaves not shortened, root best in a pot of
sand plunged in heat under a hand-glass. [Bot. Cult. 13.)

BM 1'iosopis. One of the names under which Dioscorides described the Arctium Lappa. The present plant
has no sort of resemblance to that of the ancients. It is a leguminous plant, and the pods are eaten as a run-
diim-ut in India.
985. Il.riiiatuxylon. From aiua, blood, and Iu>m, wood, in allusion to the color of an infusion of its wood.
The logwood of commerce. ITlis is a crooked stemmed low tree, with pinnate leaves, originally from the Hay of
Campeachy; the inner bark and wood red, the latter dark and very hard. It makes an excellent fence, the
smaller shoot- are cut for hoops, and the stems for exportation for dving. The gum is a gentle subastringeiil.
In our stoves it grow> well in loam and leaf-mould, kept rather moist, and cuttings root in sand under a hand-
glass in heat.
98rt. Copaifcra. This tree is so called from bearing the drug Copaiba, which is the name given to the tree
itself by the people of Brazil. Bcaume rfr Copaku, Fr , Kopaioa Balsam, Ger , Balsamn drl Coppaiba, It. I
This is a lofty elegant tree, with a handsome branching head, the extreme branches flexuosc at the axil-, tin
bark ash-colored, and the leaves pinnate. It grows abundantly in the woods of Tolu, near Carthagena, and Ol
Quito, in Brazil. The copaiba balsam of the shops is procured by wounding or boring these trees to the pith,
near the base of the trunk, when it flows abundantly, in the form of a clear colorless liquid, « hich is thick-
ened, and acquires a yellowish color by a^e. The operation is performed two or three times in the same year ;
and from the older trees the best balsam is obtained.
Copaiba balsam is stimulant, diuretic, and gently purgative. It has been recommended in pulmonary com-
plaints, and it certainly affords considerable relief in liainorrlioid.il affections. [T/tomfto»'i London Di\ raaa>
toifi, 965.) It may be increased by ripened cuttings in sand under cover.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
987. Trichilia. From t^x«, ternary, nearly all the parts of the plant, the leaves, the stigmas, the cells of
capsule, the seeds, being produced by threes. T. glabra is a tall branching tree, with an unpleasant foetid
smell. The species are rarely seen in collctim;;*, and senium, when cultivated, flower.
988. Melia. MtXia was the Greek name of the manna ash, from /m\i, honey. This tree has been thought
to resemble the ash in its foliage.
M. azedarach (azadaracht, Arab.) grows to a large tree in the south of Spain and Italy, producing long loose
bunches of blue flowers, succeeded by pale yellow berries, about the size of a cherry. These berries consist of
a pulp, which is poisonous in a high degree, and mixed with grease, will kill dogs, enclosing a nut which is
bored and strung as beads by the Catholics.
M. sempervirens is considered by some as only a variety of the Azedarach.
989. Quivisia. The tree is called Bots de Quivi in the Isle of France.
990. Swietenia. So named by Jacquin, in honor of the illustrious Gerard L B. Von Swieten, archiater to
Maria Teresa, Empress of Germany, who at his persuasion founded the botanic garden at Vienna.
S. mahagoni. The mahogany tree is a lefty branching tree, with a wide handsome head, the flower of
Melia, and the fruit of Cedrela, about the size of a turkey's egg. It grows in the warmest parts of America, as
in Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola, &c. The trees on the Bahama islands are not so large, but are more curiously
veined, and are known in Europe as Madeira wood. They generally grow on the solid rock, where there seems
to be no earth for their nourishment Mahogany, like other timber, varies in durability, firmness of grain,
and other circumstances, with the soil on which it is grown. The best is furnished from the rocky soils of
St Domingo and the Bahama islands.
S. febrifuga is a lofty tree, in general apearance like the Mahogany. The wood is of a dull red color,
remarkably hard and heavy ; it is reckoned by the natives the most durable wood they know, and on that
account is used for all the wood-work in their temples ; it is also very serviceable for various other purposes.
The bark is internally of a light red color : a decoction of it dyes brown of various shades, according as the
cloth has been prepared. Its taste is a bitter and astringent united, and very strong, particularly the bitter : at
the same time not any way nauseous or otherwise disagreeable. In India it is used for the cure of intermit-
tents with considerable advantage, and has also been found efficacious in most of the diseases in which the
cinchona bark proves serviceable. (Thompson's London Dispensatory, 533.)
991. Ekebergia. Charles Gustavus Ekeberg was a Danish naturalist, who travelled in Asia from 1770 to
1771. Cuttings to succeed must have their leaves entire, and be planted in sand and covered.
992. Heynea. Named after Dr. Benjamin Heyne, a learned German botanist and physician, who travelled
many years in India, where he formed a large collection of dried plants.
993. Guaiacum. From guaiac, the name given to the tree by the natives of Guiana. Gijuac, Ft.,
Gujakgummi, Get., Gujaco, Hal. This tree rises forty feet high, and is four or five feet in circumference, with
many divided knotted branches, greyish bark, and abruptly pinnate leaves. It has blue flowers, which are
succeeded by compressed berries of a roundish form. The tree takes many years to arrive at its full growth.
The roots run far into the ground perpendicularly, contrary to the usual growth of timber trees in the West
Indies, which generally shoot the largest prongs of their roots in a horizontal direction, and are commonly
observed to run very near the surface. The bark is thick and smooth, the wood of a dark olive color, and
cross grained, the strata running obliquely into one another, in form of an X. It is a valuable timber where

strength and duration is required, and weight no object. It takes a fine polish, turns well, and is much used
for ship blocks. It is one of the most valuable trees of the West Indies ; since the timber, the bark, fruit
leaves, and blossom, are all applicable to some useful purpose. The wood yields by incision the peculiar
substance called (uiaiacum, erroneously termed a gum, of great importance in medicine.
AU the parts of this tree possess medicinal qualities ; but the wood and the peculiar substance afforded by
it are the only parts used : the virtues of the wood depend altogether on the peculiar matter it contains.
This is spontaneously exuded from the tree, and is called native gum : it concretes in tears, which are seniil
pellucid, and very pure ; but the greater part of it is obtained by making incisions into the trunk, or as it is
termed, jagging the tree. This operation is performed in May; and the juice which flows copiously,' is con-
creted by the sun. It is also obtained by sawing the wood into billets, and boring a hole longitudinally through
them ; so that, when one end of a billet is laid on a fire, the guaiac melting runs through the hole from the
opposite end, and is collected in a calabash. Boiling the chips or raspings in salt and water also separates
the guaiac, which, as it rises to the surface, may be collected by skimming.
Both the wood and the guaiac are stimulant, diaphoretic, diuretic, and purgative. The wood was intro-
duced into Europe by the Spaniards as a remedy for lues venerea in 1508, and gained much celebrity from
curing Van Hutten ; but it had long before been used for the same purpose by the natives of St. Domingo
It obtained so much reputation, that the exhibition of mercury was discontinued for a considerable length of
time, anil even in the eighteenth century its specific powers over this disease were maintained by Bocrhaave •
but frequent disappointments and more correct observations have shown that it possesses no powers of
eradicating the venereal virus ; and that it is useful only after a successful mercurial course, for repairing the
strength and vigor of the system, "and where a thickened state of the ligament, or of the periosteum remains
or where there are foul indolent ulcers;" [Pearson's Observations, Sec. p. 10.) or in suspending the progress of
some of the secondary symptoms for a short time, as ulcers of the tonsils, eruptions, and nodes. The decoc-
tion of the wood has been found more useful in cutaneous diseases, scrofulous affections of the membranes
and ligaments, and in oza-na. The guaiac itself is an efficacious remedy in chronic rheumatism and arthritic
affections, as well as those diseases for which the decoction of the wood is usually given ; aud in every respect
it may be regarded as the active ingredient of the wood. Its sensible effects are a grateful sense of warmth in
the stnmach, dryness of the mouth and thirst, with a copious flow of sweat, if the body be kept externally
warm, or if the guaiac be united with opium and antimonials : but when the body is freely exposed, instead of
producing diaphoresis, it augments considerably the secretion of urine. (Thomson's London Dapctuatoru, 318 )
Lignum vita> in the stove grows freely in loam and peat " Cuttings," Sweet observes, " are general]; tup.
posed to be difficult to root ; but I find ripened cuttings, taken off' at a joint, root readily, planted thin m'a pot
of sand, and plunged under a hand-glass in heat. When the cuttings are rooted, which will be easily ]kt-
ceived by their growing at the top, they should be potted off"; when great care must be taken not to break oil
the young roots in taking the sand from them, as they are very small and easily broken. Pot them off in n n
small |Kjts, and keep them under a dotfl glass or a few days, till they have struck fresh root, when they must
be exposed to the air by degrees." [Bot. Cult. 63.)
9"4. Zyuophyllum. From [in *t. a pair, andfuUsf, a leaf ; all the leaves grow in pairs, liorgtama, whick
is the name of one (pedes, is the Syrian name of the plant. These are plants of little ornament, generally
with fleshy leaves, and flowers of a yellow or whitish yellow color.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
995. Fagonia. So named by Tournefort, in honor of Mons. Fagon, archiater to Louis XIV., and a great
patron of botany. Small prickly plants of no beauty.
996. Tribulus. From t$ii;, three, and fioXos, a point, in reference to the points of the capsules. La Croix
du Chevalier, Fr. The term Caltrops is taken from the form of the fruit, which resembles the machines
that were formerly cast in the way to obstruct an enemy's cavalry. It is composed of rive nuts, united into
a subglobular whorl armed with prickles.
T. terrestris is a native of most of the hot and temperate parts of the world : it is common about Kingston
in Jamaica, where it is called Turkey ij'ossom, and planted in gardens for the sake of its flowers, which have an
agreeable smell. The fowls are observed to feed much on them, which is thought both to fatten them and
heighten their flavor. In the south of Europe, it is a common weed in arable land, and is troublesome to
cattle by the prickly fruit running into their feet. All the species are pretty, though seldom cultivated.
997. Dictnmnus. An ancient name of what is now supposed to be the Origanum Dictamnus. Fraxinella,
Fr., in allusion to the remarkable similarity which exists between the leaves of the plant and Fraxinus,
the ash. The whole plant, especially when gently rubbed, emits an odor like that of lemon-peel, but when
bruised it has something of a balsamic scent. This fine scent is strongest in the pedicels of the flowers,
which are covered with glands of a rusty red color, exuding a viscid juice or resin, which exhales in vapor,
and in a dark place may be seen to take tire. The root is used in medicine, and, it is said, with much suc-
cess, as an opiate and drastic.
998. Ruta. This name is nearly the same in all languages. Put>j, in Greek ; Ruta, in Latin ; ruz, in
Runic ; rude, ruta, or rutu, in Anglo-Saxon ; rutixa, in Sclavonic ; in French and English, rue, Ac. The
root of the word is beyond the ingenuity of etymologists. R. graveolens was formerly in much repute as a
medicinal plant, and also as emblematical of repentance and grace. In Shakspeare and other old authors, it
is called herb of grace, as rosemary is called herb of remembrance. The leaves have a powerful unpleasant
odor, and a hot, bitter, nauseous taste. In the recent state they will inflame and blister the skin ; but much
of this is dissipated in drying. Medicinally, rue is stimulant and antispasmodic, and is supposed to possess
emmenagogue powers. It was in high estimation as early as the time of Hippocrates, who frequently ordered
it in female complaints. In modern practice, it is chiefly used in hysteria and flatulent colic. (Thomson's
London Dispensatory, 487.)
999. Crowea. So named by the president of the Linnean Society, after his friend James Crowe of Norwich,
an excellent British botanist, whose collection of willows we believe still exists. This plant continues in
flower the greater part of the year. An equal mixture of sandy loam and peat is the best soil for it, arv*
care must be taken not to over water it, or it will look yellow and unhealthy. It likes an airy situation,

IfJOl. Gomphia. From yt/jufts, a club; but the application is not obvious. These are most beautiful

IU0S (iuassia. So named by Linnaeus, in memory of Ouassi, a negro slave of Surinam, who found and
discovered to Rolander, a Swede, the wood of Q. excehta, which he had employed with success as a secret
remedy in the malignant endemic fevers of Surinam.
O. ainara is a lofty tree with strong branches, white light wood, their bark and leaves not unlike those of
the common ash. The flowers are in terminal racemes, of a bright red. The root, wood, bark, and indeed
all the parts of this tree are intensely bitter. Linnaeus says that the wood of the root is a nohle remedy, but
that the wood of the small branches, which has since been substituted for it, is good for nothing. The wood 01
both is now thought to be less intensely bitter than the bark, which is at present regarded as the most power,
ful medicine, yuassia has no sensible odor; its taste is that of a pure hiiter, more intense and durable than
that of almost any other known substance : it imparts its virtues more completely to watery than spirituous
menstrua, and its infusions are not blackened by the addition of martial vitriol. It is said that considerable
quantities of this drug are used by the brewers instead of hops.
<J. siiiiaruba, or mountain damson, as it is called in Jamaica, is a tall tree with alternate branches, and a
smooih grey bark, maculated with yellow spots. The leaves are pinnate; the flowers are male and female on
the same axillary panicles, yellowish white ; the fruit consists of five smooth, ovate, black, one-celled berries,
on a common receptacle, and open spontaneously when ripe.
The officinal part ol this tree il the bark of the root ; it is inodorous, and has a hitter, but not disagreeable
taste The pieces are of a very BbrOM texture, rough, scaly, warty, and of a full yellow color in the iiim«Ic
when fresh Alcohol and water take up all its active matters by simple maceration, at a temperature of sixty
degrees of Fahrenheit better than at a boiling heat; it is tonic, and has been employed with advantage in
intermittent lever, obstinate diarrhoea, dysentery, and dyspeptic affections. (Thomson's London Dispensatory,

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1003. Limonia. The general denomination of the citron in Arabia is lymoun, whence limon and lemon,
to which fruits this genus is nearly related. L. monophylla is a small thorny tree, with a berry the size of a
small nutmeg, very like a lime, and called by the Hindoos wild lime. Ripened cuttings of the species root
in sand, under a hand-glass plunged in a moist heat.
10;H. Glycosmis. From ■yXuzvs, sweet, and otrf&rii smell ; all the parts of the plant, leaves, flowers, fruit, having
an agreeable perfume. G. pentaphylla is an elegant fragrant shrub, very common in most uncultivated lands
in Coromandel, but chiefly under large trees, where birds have dropped the seeds. It flowers all the year
there. The whole plant, when drying in the shade, diffuses a pleasant permanent scent; the flowers are ex-
quisitely fragrant ; birds eat the berries greedily.
G. arborea has also very fragrant flowers.
G. citrifolia is a beautiful stove plant, not, indeed, remarkable for the shewiness of its flowers, but most
valuable on account of its fruit, which is about the size of a hazel nut, very juicy and sweet, and produced in
profusion in our stoves.
1005. Murraya. So named by Koenig, in honor of John Andrew Murray, knight of the Swedish order of
Vasa, professor of medicine and botany at Gottingen, and an editor of LinnaHis's Systema Vegetabilium. The
species are trees of the smallest size, with dotted pinnated leaves and tragrant white flowers, quite like those
of an orange.
1006. Cookia. Named by Sonnerat in honor of our celebrated Captain Cook. The fruit is much esteemed
in China, where it arrives at the size of a pigeon's egg, growing in bunches, and it is called Wampee. It grows
well in light loam, and ripened cuttings with their leaves on root in sand in a moist heat
1007. Gtcrtncra. In memory of Joseph Ga?rtner, M. D. F. R. S. Acad. Imp. Petrop. Memo., author of a
most excellent work on the fruits and seeds of plants, Stutg. 1788. It is a large climbing woody shrub,
cultivated all over the coast of Coromandel, on account of the beauty and fragrance of its flowers. In the
stove it requires a good deal of room to flower freely. It is easily increased in sand under a hand-glass. The
genus is now referred to the natural order of Malpighiaces, among which it is remarkable for its white
flowers.
1008. Monotropa. From /jutvos, one, and t£e«h, to turn : its flowers are all turned one way. It is parasitical
and without leaves, of a pale uniform hue, having a simple scaly stem ; allied in habit to Orobanche, to some
of the Orchis tribe in its peculiarity of scent, which is like that of primrose, or beans in blossom. The root is
fibrous, much branched, and somewhat creeping, growing among dead leaves or in half decaying vegetable
mould. Sir J. E. Smith says, he could never find it truly parasitical. In Sweden, Linnaeus informs us, it is
given dry to sheep affected with a cough.
Its natural affinity, which is certainly to the heath, Pyrola, and similar plants, is very singular and unex-
pected.

and Miscellaneous Particulars.
1009. Dioiuea. One of the names of Venus. It is a singular plant in respect of its leaves, which are of an
anomalous form, and have a singular motion by which they catch insects, whence the specific name,
muscipula, a fly-trap. The root is scaly, almost like a bulb, and not prolific in fibres. The leaves have the
petiole winged as in the orange; the extreme part, or proper leaf, is the part that operates as a trap. Linnaeus
affirms, that when the entrapped insect ceases to struggle and is quiet, the leaf opens and permits it to escape.
This does not agree with Ellis's account, for he affirms that the lobes never open again, so long as the animal
continues there. He thinks it probable, that a sweet liquor discharged by the red glands tempts the insect
to its destruction. He adds, that if a straw or a pin be introduced between the lobes, they will Krasp jt as fast
as if it were an insect The flowers grow in a corymb resembling an umbel. It is rather difficult to preserve
Sweet finds it " thrive best when planted in a pot of Sphagnum with a little mould at the bottom of the pot,
and placed in a pan of water." Shepherd, of the Liverpool botanic garden, finds that leaves of Diona?a so
placed will root and form new plants In all cases it is necessary that an abundance of fresh cool air should
be supplied to the plants.
1010. Garuga. Garugo is the Telinga name of the plant, which is rare in our stoves, although not of recent
introduction.
1011. Kalmia So named by Linnams in honor of Peter Kalm, professor at Abo in Sweden, author of
Travels in America. The species are beautiful peat earth shrubs, deserving a place in every American ground.
K. latifolia is a native of Carolina and other parts of North America, of Pennsylvania, New York, ,Vc. but
only in particular places ; on rocks, hanging over rivulets, and on the sides of barren hills on the most sterile
soil. The noxious qualities of this elegant shrub lessen that esteem which its beauty claims ; for though deer
feed on its green leaves with impunity, yet when cattle and sheep, by severe winters deprived of better feed,
eat the leaves, many die annually. It blossoms in May, and continues in flower a great part of the summer.
{Catesby.) The flesh of the American partridge is said to be poisonous in the winter from its fi-tiliiin
upon the buds of this plant But Wilson denies this statement The Indians use a decoction of the leaves
for purposes of self-destruction. A few drops of the tincture poured upon the body of a large and vi-
gorous rattle-snake, killed the reptile in a short time. An ointment made of the powdered leaves has
been used with much success in taenia capitis, and some other cutaneous aflcctions. (See Bigetow's Medical
Botany. )
The wood, lieing very hard, is very useful in smaller works. The Indians are said to make small dishes,
spoons, and other domestic utensil* out of the roots: these are large, of a soft texture, and easily wrought
when green ; but when dry become hard and smooth. (Curia.)
K. angustifolia is also reputed poisonous to sheep and cattle.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1012. Ledum. A»,So» was the name applied by the ancients to the plant producing the substance called
Ladanum, and now known by the name of Cistus Ledum. In foliage the Ledum of modern botanists agrees
with the plant of the ancients. Pretty American plants, very commcnly cultivated for the beauty of their
flowers.
1013. Rhodora. A name of the same meaning as Rhododendron. It is well known in shrubberies as remark-
able for its purple flowers appearing on the naked shoots before the leaves come out
1014. Rhododendron. From pobov, a rose, and htvhqov, a tree, because the flowers resemble in color bunches
of roses. Some of the species form beautiful and even splendid ornaments to the shrubbery or American
ground ; and all of them are interesting and deserving of culture.
R. ferrugineum and hirsutum abound on the high mountains of Switzerland, Austria, Savoy, Piedmont,
Dauphine, and terminate ligneous vegetation as we ascend, and furnish the shepherds with their only fueL
The grouse are said to eat them ; and the white hares sometimes gnaw the bark in hard weather ; but animais
do not seem to feed on them, except from want of other food; and they are suspected of being in a small
degree poisonous. The galls of some small insect are frequent on them.
R. dauricum is almost peculiar to the subalpine tracts of eastern Asia ; it appears first at the mouth of the
river Jenisea, and beyond that, especially from the river Uda, in the pine woods, it begins to be common ; but
about Baikal it is most abundant, and extends through the deserts of the Mongols to China and Tibet : at the
Lena it becomes more rare, and beyond that it is much lower, with a more slender flower and narrower leaves.
{Pallas.)
R. Camtschaticum is an elegant evergreen under shrub ; it grows abundantly in the peninsula of Kamt-
chatka and Behring's island in muddy places on the mountains.
R. caucasicum is a native of the higher rocks of Caucasus, near the perpetual ice, in the highest range of
shrubby vegetation, with Myrtillus and Vitis ;da?a.
R. chrysanthum is a beautiful evergreen, resembling R. dauricum, and like it is a native of the alpine
regions of Siberia, where it i« a noted remedy for rheumatism. It is cultivated in this country with the

greatest difficulty. The leaves have an austere, astringent, bitterish taste, and are stimulant, narcotic, and
diaphoretic. When taken, they first increase the arterial action and the heat of the body, producing
diaphoresis ; and these effects, according to Dr. Home's observations, are followed by a proportional diminution
of excitement, the pulse in one case having been reduced thirty-eight beats. It has not been much used in
thy- country. [Thomson's London Dispensatory, 477.)
K. maximum grows on rocks and in barren soils, where it continues flowering great part of the year, and is
very ornamental.
K. pontii urn grows in wet places in beech and alder coppices, on rocky mountains, but not on high alps.
Rhododendrons are commonly propagated by layers, but some sorts produce seeds, and seeds of others are
obtained from America The seeds " should be sown early in spring, in flat pans or pots of peat soil, and very
thinly covered : they may then be set in a close frame, or at the front of a hothouse, till they come up, water-
ing them slightly when dry ; as soon as they are high enough to be laid hold of, they must be pricked out in
other pots. Which should be placed in a shady situation ; they may stand in a frame a few days till they have
taken fresh root, but they must not remain long, or it will spoil them. The small kinds may he propagated
freely by cuttings, taken off" in the young wood, and planted in sand, under a bell-glass." (Jiot. Cutt. 815.)

roots all the length of its branches. A very pretty little American plant with delicate u hite flower*
lulf). Amiromeda Named in allusion to the virgin Andromeda, who, like this plant, was confined in a
marsh, and surrounded by monsters of the waters. For an ingenious explanation of this application, see
Linna?us's Flora I.ap|>onica. The species are neat little plants, and some of them considerable shrubs and
trees. They all require peat earth, and a moist situation ; for those of them which do not grow naturally in
bogs are mostly inhabitants of alpine regions, where the air is always more moist than on plains

adorns them with its beautiful red Bowers. The Andromeda is generally increased by layers, but may be also

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
when about an inch high they should be planted out thinly in other pots, where they will grow strong, and
when large enough, may be planted in the open ground. Spring is the best time to plant them out, as the
Irost and worms are apt to throw them out of the ground in winter, if planted out in autumn. (Bot.
1017. Enkianthus. From iyxvos, a pregnant woman, a name given to the plant by Loureiro, because the
great colored buds appear as if pregnant with the flowers which afterwards appear. This beautiful genus as
Sweet observes, has generally been considered difficult to propagate : the difficulty is now removed, as ripened
cuttings root readily planted in pots of sand, and placed under a hand-glass, without bottom heat. The best
soil for it is an equal mixture of sandy loam and peat, and care must be taken not to overwater it when not In a
growing state: when it gets pretty large it is one of the most ornamental plants for the greenhouse or con-
servatory. (Bot. Cult. 186.) There are several species confounded under the common name Enkianthus
quinqueflora.
1018. Gaultheria. Named after one Gaulthier, a French physician at Quebec. A small evergreen plant,
cultivated in the American border for the sake of its ornamental bright scarlet berries. The species may be
increased by dividing at the root, by suckers, layers, or from seeds.
1019. Arbutus. An ancient name of this plant, said to he traceable to the Celtic ar boise, austere bush, in
allusion to the roughness of the fruit. In like manner Unedo is said by Pliny to have been so called from
unum edo, I eat one, because, being found disagreeable, no one could eat a second. L'Arbousier, Fr., Landbeere,

Oct., and Arbuto, Hal. This genus includes one of the most elegant of hardy shrubs, the A. uncdo. This
evergreen is peculiarly beautiful in Octolier and November, covered at once with blossoms and ripe fruits. It
U a native of the south of Europe, and is found also near Killamey in Ireland, where it has probably been
brought from Spain or Italy at an early period by the priests. It grows thereon limestone rocks, In greater
luxuriance than it is often to be met with in the woods of Italy : in both countries the fruit is eaten ; and in
Spain both a sugar and spirit is extracted from it.
A. uva ursi, La Busserole, Fr., Barrenbeere, Ger., and Una d'orzo, Ital., is abundant in many parts of the
continent, especially the alpine regions. It dyes an ash color ; tans leather ; the berries are food for grouse and
other game, and the leaves are used in medicine. The fresh leaves are inodorous, and have a slightly bitter
astringent taste, leaving a sweet sensation in the mouth. When pro|>erly dried and powdered, tney acquire
an odour similar to that of hyson tea ; but the taste remains the same, the degree of bitterness only licing
increased. (Thomson's Ixmdon Dispensatory, 163.)
It is used sometimes in calculous complaints and ulcerations of the urinary organs.
The dwarf species of this genus and those of Rhododendron and Andromeda, arc very fit plants for nek
work. A. alpina thrives best in peat kept moist and shaded. All the species may lie increased by seeds, or by
budding and inarching on each other: trie dwarf kinds root readily by layers.
The Uva ursi has been brought into notice in modern times as an efficient remedy in nephritic and even in
calculous cases European practitioners have doubted its powers, but it has found many sup|>orters of respec-

tability in North America. The late professor Barton found the plant of much service in his own case or
nephritic paroxysms alternating with gout in the feet. It has also been recommended as a remedy in pulmonary
complaints. (See Bigelow's Med. Botany.)
1020. Clcthra. Kx^B-ga was the name given by the Greeks to the Alder, to which, in its leaves, this bears
some resemblance. Pretty upright North American plants, with white flowers. One species is a native of
Madeira.
1021. Mylocaryum. From /mvXti, a mill, and x«.ma, a kernel or stone ; the four wings of the nut may be
easily likened to the four sails of a small milL A North American plant, with the habit of Andromeda, or
rather of Clethra.
1022. Pyrola. A diminution of Pyrus, to which, in the leaves, this is thought to be similar. A genus of
elegant little plants, mostly evergreens. They grow naturally in the shade, and in rocky or very poor soils ; in
the garden on sand or gravel shaded ; and they are increased by seeds or young cuttings, planted under a hand-
glass. All the species are powerfully astringent and tonic, anid one or more of the American sorts is said to
constitute the chief ingredient in the scorbutic draughts of Whitlaw.
P. uniflora, Sir J. E. Smith says is one of the most curious and elegant of British flowers.
1023. Chimaphila. From ;<;7,u.a, winter, and tfiktu, to love; a sort of translation of the English name
winter-green. The species maybe treated as Pyrola, which they much resemble.
1024. Inocarjtus. From 1; in>;, fibre, and xa^o;, fruit. The envelope of the nut is composed of tough
interwoven fibres. It is a lofty tree, with alternate subcordate leaves, and flowers in racemes succeeded by
by nuts called Ratta in Otaheite. The kernel of these, which is kidney-shaped, and about an inch in
diameter, is eaten roasted by the inhabitants of the Society and Friendly Isles, the New Hebrides, New
Guinea, the Molucca isles, Sec. It is sweetish, but less pleasant than the chesnut, harder and less farinaceous.
The bark is astringent, and is used in the dysentery. In New Guinea they smear the heads of their arrows
with the expressed resinous juice. {Forst. Escul.)
1025. Styraz. A name altered by the Latins from the Arabic assthirak. Pliny says, that the Arabs in his
time used the resin to flavor the perfumes of which they are so fond S. officinale is a low tree with slender
branches, ovate leaves, flowers in racemes from the sides of the branches, succeeded by ovate globular juice-
less drupes, containing one or two angular nuts. From this tree storax is obtained in Asiatic Turkey. It
issues from incisions made in the bark ; and as it was formerly the custom to collect and export it in reeds, it
was named Styrax cabmita. It has a fragrant odour, and a pleasant subacidulous, slightly pungent, and

catarrh, phthisis, and menstrual obstructions ; but it is now scarcely ever employed, except as an adjunct on
account of its fragrance.
Benzoin is obtained from the S. Benzoin, by wounding the bark near the origin of the lower branches. The
tree is never wounded under six years of age ; and cannot sustain these annual incisions above twelve years
[Thomson's Loniton Dispensatory, 525.)
As shrubs this gen js affords some plants that may bo considered pretty and desirable, on account of their
small size and free flowering. They grow best in sandy loam, are commonly propagated by layers, and may
also be increased by seeds, which they occasionally ripen.
1026. Jussnea. An obscure and mo8t uninteresting genus of plants, selected, not very happily, to com-
memorate the family of the Jussieus, which has for more than a century and a half been at the head of
botanical science. Antoine de Jussieu, born in 1686, and died in 17.">8, was professor of botany at the Jardin
du Roi, and member of the academy of si nines. He published various papers upon exotic plants, and a
discourse upon the progress of botany. He also edited the works of Barrelier. Bernard de Jussieu, his
brother, born in 1696, died in 1777, was professor at the same garden, and member of the same academy. He
also was author of various papers upon plants, a second edition of Tournefort's History of the Plants growing
near Pari-, and an arrangement of the plants growing in the garden of Trianon, which waa published by his
nephew. Joseph de Jussieu, a third brother, born in 1704, and died 177!'. He was sent to South America by
Lotus XV., and remained there for six and thirty years. He made many discoveries, and brought home man]
Dew plants. Lastly, Antoine I^aurcnt de Jussieu, their nephew, born in 1748, and still living, as demonstrator
of botany at the Jardin du Roi, member of the Institute and of every learned body in Europe, He brought,

which had been traced by the hand of Toumefort, and partially filled up by his uncle Bernard. That lysteW
has now superseded, among men of science, all others, and if aa yet inapplicable to merely popular purpr«es,
can never be dispensed with in all philosophical investigations.
1027. Gctonia. A Malabar plant, the meaning of whose name has not been explained. Cuttings root
freely in sand, under a hand-glass, and plunged in heat.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1028. Quisqualis. A Latin word, expressive of uncertainty. It was given by Rumphius to a tree of
Amboyna, because it was subject to variation. It is a fine climbing genus of easy culture. The best soil
for the species is a mixture of loam and peat ; and cuttings root freely in sand, under a hand-glass. (Bot.
Cult. 100.)
1029. Melastoma. From /jiaXks, black, and r»/".«. mouth. Many of the species produce black berries
similar to gooseberries, and which stain the mouth black. This is a very numerous genus of shrubs and low
trees ; the species display great unity of character, and may be considered ornamental. They require but
little water in winter, and are easily increased in sand, plunged in a moist heat.
1030. Petaloma. From xirakm, a petal, and Xci/mx., an edge. Flowers of which the petals arc inserted on the
edge of the calyx. A small plant with the leaves, but not flowers, of Melastoma.
1031. Acisanthera. From axis, a point, the anthers being pointed. Plants with the habit of Melastoma.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1036. Trianthema. From reus, three, and ccvSos, flower; the flowers growing by threes in the axilla? of the
leaves. The species are weeds in their native countries, and of little interest here
1037. Scleranthus. From (rzkrgos, hard, and avd-os, a flower; when in seed the envelopes of the flower
appear very much indurated. S. annuus is common throughout Europe and Siberia on a sandy soil. It
flowers about the middle of summer, and sows its seeds very abundantly in autumn, which produce a crop of
young plants that generally survive the winter, or, if destroyed, are replaced by another crop arising from
those seeds that happen not to vegetate till spring. (Eng. Bot.) The Swedes and Germans receive the vapour
arising from a decoction of it into their mouths, to cure the tooth-ache. (Withering.)
S. perennis in several parts of Europe has its roots attacked by the insect Coccus Polonicus, Lin. which
yields a fine crimson dye, and is said likewise to live on S. annuus and some PotentilUe. Sir J. Smith has " never
been able to find this insect on these plants in England." (Flora Brit. ii. 283.)
These two species are occasionally found in abundance upon barren heathy wastes.
1038. Cunonia. In memory of John Christian Cuno, of Amsterdam, who described his own garden in Dutch
verse in 1750. This is a handsome tree, with fine shining green foliage, contrasted by numerous dense
elongated branches of small milk-white flowers, and twigs of a red color : having the habit of a tropical
rather than of a Cape plant. Its colonial name is Rood Elze (red alder), although the tree has not in any
point of view the least resemblance to the alder of Europe.
1039. Hydrangea. From J3ai», water, and ctyyum, a vessel. The common garden species, H. hortensis, is
qmte a marsh plant, and to be managed well should have a very copious supply of water in summer. A large
plant will consume ten or twelve gallons daily, in warm weather.
H. quercifolia is an elegant plant when in leaf ; but as it is barely within the limits of ligneous plants, it dies
down to the ground on the approach of frost. H. hortensis is much valued on account of the great profusion of
its very elegant flowers, which are monstrous in the same manner as the Viburnum opulus. It has never

been found in a wild state, but is extensively cultivated in the gardens of China and Japan, from whence it
was introduced to Kew by Sir Joseph Banks. The flowers are almost always barren ; they are naturally of a
rose color, but under certain circumstances of culture they become blue. The yellow loam of Hampstead
Heath and some other places, and some sorts of peat earth are found to produce this effect ; but the cause is
not yet ascertained. Dr. Daalen, of Antwerp, finds that turf-ashes, and, still more effectually, those of the
Norway spruce, the wood generally used as fuel by him, applied to the roots of Hydrangea, produced the blue
color ofthe iietals. ^Xeii's Hort. Juurn. 12£) According to Busch, of Petersburgh, " the hydrangea will be
turned blue by watering the young plant, the summer before, with alum water. Our grey colored earth,
under the black moor-earth, has the same effect, being combined with aluminous salt" (Hort, Trans, vol. iv.
568. Sweet recommends a bed of peat, and says, the longer it remains there the bluer will be the
Howers.
The hydrangea, to flower freely, must not be allowed more than three or four strong shoots from the
wneroot; it rau»t have abundance of pot room, and plenty of water when in flower. It is a good plan to
shift the plants twice or oftener during the early part of the season. If plunged and turned out of the pot
into an open border in the end of May, they will flower vigorously, and will even stand the winter around and
south of London, and flower yearly, and if well protected in winter very freely and strongly. The flowers arc
produced from the extremities of the shoots of the current year.
1040. Chrysosylenium. Prom xjwr*, gold, and twkqr, the spleen ; a figurative name applied to this plant,
with reference to it* medic. nal qualities. It is said to be a powerful cathartic. In the Vosges the plants arc
used copiously as a salad, under the name of Crcsson tic Roche.

qualities which arc now forgotten.

but sutler From mud and humid weather during the winter months. Most of the species are perennial with
either fibrous or granular roots, and a few are annual. Of the latter one species, S. tridactvlites is common
upon very old walls in England, flowering in the beginning of the spring. The parts of fructification are
extremely variable in this genus, and have given rise to the construction of many supposed genera tin
constituents of which have the recommendation of agreeing with one another pretty well in habit The
limits, however, of these genera are too obscure, and the gradations by which they are united so obvious that
l hey have not yet been adopted by men of science generally. Without interfering with that question, the
old mode of considering Saxifrage has been here adhered to, as being the most popular and the best under-

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
Some of the species are fine border plants, but the greater part are of little beauty, and only grown in botanic
gardens.
1045. Saponaria. In allusion to its mucilaginous sap, which is said to be fit for supplying the place of soap,
sapo. S. officinalis plena is considered a border flower, but is inconvenient unless kept in pots, from its spread-
ing very much by the roots, which are underground creepers, like those of couch. The leaves form a lather
with soap, and take out spot* of grease in the same manner. The whole plant is bitter, and was formerly used
to cure the itch and the venereal disease.
1046. Diantfius. Aio; avB-oi, the flower of God, or divine flower ; so named on account of its pre- eminent
beauty. Most of the species of this genus are highlv valued, not only for the beauty of their flowers, but also
as being evergreens ; their foliage during winter being as abundant and vivid as in summer. The fragrance
of some of the species is peculiarly grateful, and no plant in this respect surpasses the carnation. D. barbatus
is an old inhabitant of the flower garden, and was much esteemed in Gerarde's time " for its beauty to d«>ck
up the bosoms of the beautiful, and garlands and crowns for pleasure." The varieties are numerous bu*. 03 fie
Plant has never been treated by florists as a leading flower, they have not been named or improved. A hybrid
variety called the Mule, or Fail-child's Sweet-William, is supposed to have been produced from seeds of the
Order IT.

carnation impregnated by a Sweet-William. D caryophyllus is considered the source whence have sprung
the numerous varieties of the carnation, and some think those also of the pink. The p.nk, liowivi r, is
more probably derived from some of the smaller growing species, as plumarius, deltoides, armeria, earthu-
sianorum, &c.
The carnation is rarely found wild in England, but it maybe gathered on the south side of the Swiss
Al(*. It seems to have been unknown to the ancients, at least in it. cultivated slate, i>"t being mentioned by
Pliny, or sung by any of the Roman pouts, it has, however, ben cultivated from tune immemorial in Europe,
and is in the highest favor for its beauty and rich spicy odour. It is the principal florist's flower of Germany
and Italy, from which countries the British florists procure their best carnation seed, and also some esteemed
varieties.
The varieties of carnation amounted to nearly 40(1 named sorts in the beginning of the eighteenth century,
and the number has not since diminished. They are arranged in three classes ; Hakes, bizarres, and picotees.
Flakes have two colors only, and their stripes large, going quite through the leaves; Inuirres, Fr (odd, irre-
gular1 are variegated in irregular spots and stripes, and w itb no less than three colours ; /«< otse*. Fr. piqucttcc,
pricked or spotted have a white ground, s|x>ttcd or pounced with scarlet, red, purple, or other colors. Of

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
each class there are numerous varieties, arranged under the farther subdivisions of scarlet flake, pink flake,
purple flake, yellow flake, &c. ; scarlet bizarre, crimson bizarre, &c. ; and purple picotee, yellow picotee, &c.
Picotees are rather smaller flowers than carnations, and are distinguished by the serrated margins of their
petals ; the colors are principally yellow and white spotted, and the plants are considered hardier than the
other sorts. Whatever colors the flower may be possessed of, they should be perfectly distinct, and disposed in
long regular stripes, broadest at the edge of the lamina, and gradually becoming narrower as they approach
the unguis, or base of the petal, there terminating in a fine point. Each petal should have a due proportion
of white, i. e. one half, or nearly so, which should be perfectly clear and free from spots. BizarTes, or such as
contain two colors upon a white ground, are esteemed rather preferable to flakes, which have but. one,
especially when their colors are remarkably rich, and very regularly distributed. Scarlet, purple, and pink
are the three colors most predominant in the carnation ; the two first are seldom to be met with in the same
flower, but the two last are very frequently.
New varieties are procured from seeds, and thousands of seedlings are annually blown by florists and
amateurs, sometimes without one being found worth keeping. Established or approved varieties are con-
tinued by layering and cuttings, or, as they are commonly called, pipings. The soil in which the carnation
thrives best is a rich loam rather sandy than otherwise; the climate should be free from extremes of every kind,
for which reason they are commonly grown in pots, and protected by a frame during winter, and covered by
an awning while in bloom. Carnations grow exceedingly well in beds of properly prepared soil, over which
frames are placed in winter, and an awning of canvass or bunting when the plants are in blossom. Those who
are curious in blowing their carnations ha\ e a great many nice and curious operations to perform when they
come into flower. Such petals as are plain, or run from the proper colors of the variety, are extracted by a
particular instrument ; the remaining petals are next arranged so as to form a convex' imbricated surface ;
the calyx being slit down or tied up as may be necessary to aid this end. Then the flowerstalks are neatly
tied to sticks, and the flower supported in a pendant attitude by means of properly formed brass wires.

and Miscellaneous Particulars.
Behind the petals a circle of card paper is sometimes fixed to keep them in position, and the |>ot in which the
plant grows is placed on a particular description of saucer, by which it is surrounded by water, in order to
prevent the approach of ground insects, and especially of the earwig. These arid a number of other ooera-
tJona will be found described at length in Maddock's Florist's Directory, and in the F.ncyclopa?dia ot
Gardening. (Sec. 6406.)
The pink, as a florist's flower, is of much less antiquity than the carnation : it is scarcely mentioned by
i ierarde. and Parkinson has given very few varieties. It was chiefly grown as a border flower till within the
last fifty years, since which it has been greatly improved and many fine varieties originated. Being one ot
the hardiest and least expensive of fine flowers, it is much cultivated by operative mechanics and manufac-
turers round large towns, and no where to such an extent as about Paisley, by the muslin weavers tin n
The varieties of pink most cultivated are chieflv those called pheasant's eyes, which seem to have sprung
from D. plumarius. Cob pinks are a large sort seemingly intermediate between pinks and picotee carnations ,

cobs and I) armerius or deltoids*. The Paisley growers reckon above three hundred varieties of the pheasant s

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1051. Cherleria. John Henry Cherlcr was an assistant of John Bauhin in preparing his Historia Plantarum.
A little obscure weed.
1052. Brunnichia. A catalogue of the books upon natural history was published by one Mr. F. Brunnich,
a Danish naturalist, in 1793.
1053. Garifella. So named by Tournefort, in honor of Pierre Garidel, M. D., phvsician at Aix in wrovence,
author ot Histoire des Plantes qui naissent en Provence, 1719, with many figures. " A plant of little curiosity
or beauty. Small inconspicuous plants of the easiest management.
105-1. Malpighia. So named by Plumier in honor of Marcello Malpighi, professor of medicine at Bologna,
author of Anatome Plantarum, 1765 and 1769; a celebrated work, the best of its time on the structure of
vegetables. The species are handsome evergreen trees and shrubs, some of them fruit-bearing and others
climbers. M. glabra is grown for its fruit in the West Indies, and the fruit of M. urens is also eaten under
the name of Barbadoes cherry, but that of both species is much inferior to European cherries. All the
species have the undersides of their leaves covered with pricklv bristles which when handled run into the
fingers. Ripened cuttings root freely in sand under cover.
1055_ Banisteria. So named by Dr. Houstoun, in memory of the Rev. John Banister, a curious botan-
ist, who lost his life in search after plants in Virginia. The >pecies are chieflv evergreen climbers and
twiners; some of them, as B. fulgens and chrysophylla, ha\e fine shewy inhage as wcl! a^ beautiful flowers.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
They seem destined by nature to clothe rocks and dry arid places, after a certain portion of vegetable soil ha*
been generated by lichens and mosses.
Orpine is the French name of two or three species. S. album is said to have the same virtues as used to be
attributed to the houseleck, Sempervivum tectorum : it is pickled by some in the manner of samphire.
S. acre is considered antiscorbutic ; its juice applied to the skin blisters it, taken inwardly it vomits, and applied
externally to gangrenes promotes suppuration.
1062. Penthorum. From -r;vTx, five, in allusion to the five-marked angles of the capsules. Succulent North
American plants of no beauty whatever.
1063. Grielum. A small uninteresting Cape plant, with yellow flowers and hoary leaves like southernwood.
Derived from ytfios, old, in allusion to its hoary aspect.
1064. Biophytum. Bib tporov, plant of life, in allusion to the lively irritable nature of the foliage. This
genus, the Oxabi sensitiva of Jacquin, has been lately divided by M. De Candolle from Oxalis, chiefly on

abundance as tc fill the whole pot to the very bottom, as in purpurea, cernua, reptatrix. Sometimes the bulb
strikes very deep, as in tomentosa ; the original bulb near the surface striking a radical fibre downright from
its base, which puts out from its side a new bulb, producing the next year's plant, whiist the former perishe.
Sometimes fusiform, thick and long fibres spring in a monstrous form from the bulbs, as in glandulosa ami
some others. Some of the species have a proper stem (CauJis), when it bears all the leaves and peduncles
alternately, and not in a terminating umbel : this is either branched or quite simple, and that for the nvj.-i
part inconstantly. Others have a stipe ; the leaves and flowers being aggregate together at the end of the
stalk ; this bears none or very few leaves along it, seldom many. In some species the stipe is always subter-
raneous, as in breviscapa, purpurea, &c ; in others it is always above ground, as in gracilis, versicolor, tenuifolia.
Stipes are commonly quite simple ; some, however, are branched, the branchos terminating in umbels, as in
incarnata and polyphylla. Hence the division of the species into caulescent and stipitate. The leaves are not
perhaps, truly sessile in any of the species ; they arc subsessile in a few, but in most arc petioled. Thev are
mnple in three species, binate in four, digitate ID six. in the rciit tern.-.tc : almost all of them have an' acid

Many of the species ripen seeds, from which, or from oll'sets, they are readily propagated, and grown in light
sandy soil : care being taken to give the pots little or no water when the plants are in a dormant state. An
excellent work has bean written on the genus by Jacquin, in which ninety. six t| eiie- are rlea ril • I All that
were known in Europe at that time, were cultivated in the Imperial gardens of ScbOnbEunn with great success,
under the Immediate Inspection of Jacquin, by whom the following directions ace given for their manage-
ment. They are best kept in pot* which w ill hold a good m any. roots. The earth should be so light and sandy as
never to become hard, but always to be soft enough not to n sist the point of the Bnger when pressed upon it ,
when the dowering time is passed, the pots should be placed aside, where t bey require neither care nor water; but
are well protected from mice. In. the beginning of August they should beplai euin the < pen air and moderately
watered. About the end of thai month, or a little later, the leaves should appear About the middle of

O. Acetosella, la petite oseille or surclle, Fr., is used as a salad plant, and is more delicate than the Rumex
salads : its acid approaches nearly to that of the juice of lemons, or the acid of tartar, with which it also corresponds
in its medical effects, being esteemed refrigerant, antiscorbutic, and diuretic. An infusion of the leaves, or a whey
made by boiling the plant in milk, given in ardent fevers, is said to allay inordinate heat, and to quench thirst.
The expressed juice depurated, properly evaporated, and set in a cool place, affords a crystalline acid salt in
considerable quantity, which may be used whenever vegetable acids are wanted. .It is employed to take iron
moulds and ink stains out of linen, and is sold under the name of essential salt of lemons. (Withering.) This
salt when genuine, which it seldom is, consists of the vegetable alkali and a peculiar acid, which, according
to Bergman, seems more allied to the acid of sugar than that of tartar. What is sold for it in this country,
appears sometimes to consist of C. Tart., with the addition of a small quantity of vitriolic acid. For taking
out spots in linen, the stained part is dipped In water, sprinkled with a little of the salt powdered, then rubbed
on a pewter plate, after which the spot is washed out with warm water. (Curtis, from Ncwtn. Chem. by Lewis."1
Twenty pounds of leaves fresh yield six pounds of juice, from which two ounces, two drachms, and one
scruple of salt have been obtained. (Lewis.)
1066. Agrostemma. Ayeu rip/Mx., crown of the field. The beauty of the flowers of the common cockle
weed well entitles it to sucli a distinction. The foreign species are very pretty annuals. A. Githago (git or
gith was the name of certain black and aromatic grains, supposed to have been of Nigella saliva, which were
employed by the Ilomans in cookery. The seeds of the plant Githago are externally similar) is an orna-
mental weed, and along with corn poppy and blue bottle makes a line appearance in the fields of the slovenly
husbandman, where the soil is dry and gravelly.

1 ' " ~ lychnis, from Xvx'K, a lamp, in allusion to the cottony leaves of some species, which have been
used as wicks to lamps. L chalcedomca, CroU de Multhe, l-'r. and Portug., Croce de Caoaliert, Hal., and
('. ilr JmisiiU-m, Span., is an old and much esteemed border Mower, the double varieties of which require some
rare in cultivation, to prevent their returning to the single state, and to propagate them by cuttings. L.
fulgens and eoronata are also very handsome species. " They do best in a light rich loamy soil, but they must
be often taken up and divided, or they dwindle away ; the best time of doing this is early in spring. L eoro-
nata thrives and Mowers abundantly if planted out in the open ground in spring ; but it requires to be taken
up in autumn and potted, or the severe frosts in winter will kill it, or injure it very much. All may be raised
by cuttings planted under hand-glasses, or by seeds, which often ripen in abundance. (But. Cult. 389.)
I riscaria and floscuculi are more hardy, and grow in common garden soil, and increase abundantly by
division: they are both old inhabitants of the Mower garden. L. diurna and vespertina are also border
Mowers in their double varieties.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1070. Spergnla. From spargere, to scatter, because it scatters its seeds abroad, to the great profit of the
farmer in Holland, who obtains from it meadows affording the most delicious butter. S. arvensis is a common
weed in sandy soils, in Scotland called yarr, and in Norfolk pickpurse. In the Netherlands and in Germany it
is sown on corn stubbles, to supply a bite for sheep during winter. It may be sown and reaped in eight weeks,
either in autumn or spring. It is said to enrich the milk of cows, so as to make it afford excellent butter; and
the mutton fed on it is preferable to that fed on turnips. Hens eat spurry greedily, and it is supposed to make
them lay a great number of eggs, whether in hay, or cut green, or pnsture. Von Thaer observes, it is the
most nourishing, in proportion of its bulk, of all forage, and gives the best flavored milk and butter. It has
been recommended to be cultivated in England ; but it is not likely that such a plant can ever pay the expense
of seed and labour in this country, even on the poorest soil ; or at all events, as Professor Martyn observes, we
have many better plants for such ooils.
1071. Phytolacca. From Qvtm, a plant, and lacca, lac ; that is to say, a plant whose fruit gives out a fine
red color like lac. The English-American name Poke, applied to one species, is a corruption of Pocan, the
name by which it was formerly known in Virginia.
P. decandra has large ramose roots, shoots half an inch in diameter, and five or six feet high ; the leaves
five inches long and two and a half inches broad, smooth and of a deep green. It grows vigorously in a good
deep soil, and furnishes ample supplies of young shoots, which in America and the West Indies are boiied
and eaten as spiiiage. (Correa de Herra, in Hort. Trans iv. 446.)

This is a small incongruous class, containing no extensive genus of importance except Euphorbia. Some
botanists have been of opinion that it ought to be cancelled, but it is probable that Linnaeus understood the
application of his own principles as well as some of his more pretending followers, and it is certain that if the
Linnean plan can be made to act successfully, its artificial arrangement must be rigorously observed.
Euphorbia and Ueseda, which are usually referred hither, should more properly be referred, the former
to Moncecia, and the latter to Polygamia.

lished by Morrison at Oxford, 1764, quarto, and other works. B. frutescens is very ornamental in its foliage.
The Indian kings, Hernandez tells us, planted it in their gardens, which must have been for its beauty, as it is
neither culinary nor medicinal, though the juice is acrid, and used in the West Indies to take off warts.
1074. fiassia. So named by Kocnig, in honor of Ferdinando Bassi, curator of the botanic garden at
Bologna. Tall trees, natives of the hottest parts of the East Indies, with tufted alternate leaves growing only
at the end of the shoots. Ripened cuttings root freely in sand.
1075. Blakea. So named by Dr. Patrick Browne, after Mr. Martin Blake of Antigua, a ereat promoter of
useful knowledge, and a patron of the doctor's Natural History of Jamaica This is one of the most beautiful
plants of the West Indies. It supports itself for a time by the help of some neighboring shrub or tree, but it
grows gradually more robust, and at length acquires a pretty moderate stem, which divides into a thousand
weakly declining branches, well supplied with beautiful rosy blossoms on all sides. It cannot display itself to
so great advantage in our stoves ; but it flowers freely, and thrives well in loam and peat, well supplied with
water. Ripe cuttings root in sand in moist heat and covered.
1076. Bejcria. So named by Mutis, in honor of Bejar, a Spanish botanist. The original species are natives
of New Grenada. That in gardens, which is a native of the southern states of North America, is a beautiful
shrub from three to four feet high, with pink flowers of an agreeable scent. It is found upon the banks of
swamps and ponds, and requires the protection of a frame or greenhouse.
1077. Agathophyllum. From */*»«;, good, and tpvXXov, a leaf. The leaf has a pleasant smell like cloves.
In Madagascar, where it is called Ravendsara, it forms a large tree with a rufous aromatic bark, and a heavy
insipid wood. The leaves are alternate and coriaceous. The dried fruit is very aromatic.
1078. Rhixophora. From p/v*, a root, and tpiqu, to bear, in allusion to the numerous roots which are emitted
by the seeds, which vegetate among the branches of the tree while yet adhering to their footstalk. This is the
common Mangrove, which covers immense tracts of coast within the tropics, rooting and vegetating even as
far as low water mark.
1079. Garcinia. So named in honor of Laurent Garcin, M. D., F. R. S., who travelled into the East Indies.
Mangostnns is the Malayan name. This tree bears a fruit, which in the East Indies ranks with that of the
pine-apple. It rises with a taper stem, sending out many branches, not unlike a fir-tree, with oval leaves,
seven or eight inches long. The flower is like that of a single rose ; the fruit round, the size of a middling
orange; the shell is like that of the pomegranate, the inside of a rose color, divided by thin partitions, as in
oranges, in which the seeds are lodged, surrounded by a soft juicy pulp, of a delicious flavor, partaking of the
strawberry and the grape, and is esteemed one of the richest fruits in the world. It is a native of the Molucca
islands, whence it has been transplanted to Java and Malacca. The head of the tree is in the form of a
parabola, so fine and regular, and the leaves so beautiful, that it is looked upon in Batavia as the tree most
proper for adorning a garden, and affording an agreeable shade. It was introduced to England in 1789.
According to Dr. Garcin, {Phil. Trans.) " it is esteemed the most delicious of the East Indian fruits, and a

great deal of it may be eaten without any inconvenience; it is the only fruit which sick people are allowed to
eat without scruple. It is given with safety in almost every disorder ; and we are told that Dr. Solander, in
the last stage of a putrid fever in Batavia, found himself insensibly recovering by sucking this delicious and
refreshing fruit. The pulp has a most happy mixture of the tart and sweet, and is no less salutary than

1080. Orangeria. Named after X. Granger, a traveller in Egypt, Persia, &c. who died at Bassora in 1733.
(to voyage into F.gypt was published in 17+5. This is a tree the size of an oak, with alternate ovate entire
leaves. The flowers are small, in small terminal and axillary racemes.
1081. HaJesia. So named by Ellis, in honor of the learned and venerable Stephen Hales, D. D , F. K. S.,
author of Vegetable Staticks, 1727. The species are very ornamental shrubs, valuable for blossoming early in
the season. The flowers hang in small bunches all along the branches, each bud producing from four to eight
or nine ; they appear before the leaves, are of a pure snowy whiteness, and last for two or three weeks ; they
are succeeded bv pretty large winged juiceless drupes, hanging likewise in bunches. The leaves of H. dlptera
are six times the size of those of H. tetraptera, and the fruit has two large wings and two minute ones.
They are propagated by cuttings of the roots
Dccum,iria. Derived from decern, ten, all the parts of fructification answering to the number 10.
It is commonly propagated by layers, but will grow by cuttings in sand under a hand-glass.
108.3. Eurya. A name of Thunlx-rg's, supposed to have been formed from tu'ut, broad ; its application no
one has been able to discover. The Eurya cninensis is a little evergreen bush, bearing many whitish flowers
on the under side of the branches and hidden by the leaves. It is easily propagated by cuttings.
1084. Aristotelia. After the celebrated ancient philosopher and naturalist Aristotle. Macqui is the name
of this shrub in Chili. It grows freely in a sheltered situation ; but its flowers are of little beauty. They are
succeeded by small berries of a purple or black color, slightly acid and eatable : the inhabitants of Chili make
a wine from them, which they give in fevers, and for curing the plague. It is increased ly layer- n ripened
cuttings.
1085. Canclla. A name given by Murray, on account of the resemblance between its wood and the aromatic
flavor of Canella, Cinnamon. This tree rises very straight, from ten to fifty feet in height. The branches
are erect, not spreading, and only at the top of the tree; furnished with petiolated leaves of a dark green
color, thick, and shining like those of the laurel, and emitting a similar odor. The flowers, which exhale a
powerful aromatic perfume, arc small, seldom open, and in bunches. The inner bark of the branches is freed
from the cuticle, and dried in the shade. This bark is stimulant, and slightly tonic. It is a useful adjunct to
bitters in some cases of dyspepsia and atonic gout ; but it is employed chiefly on account of its flavor, and to
correct the griping ijualitv of the resinous cathartics. It is «aid to prove useful in scurvy {London

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1086. Cratceva. In honor of Crata?vus, a Greek botanist and contemporary of Hippocrates. C. Tapia, an
American name, produces a fruit about the size of an orange, with a mealy pulp and a strong smell of garlic,
which is communicated to the animals that feed on it. All the species prefer a rich loamy soil, and may be
increased by cuttings in sand under a hand-glass
1087. Triumfetta. So named by Plumier, in memory of Giov. Battista Triumfetti, prefect of the botanic
garden at Rome, author of Hortus Roraanus, 1681, and other works. T. semitriloba has a tough strong bark
which serves for ropes and other conveniences of that kind in the inland parts of the West Indies. The
whole plant is mucilaginous and emollient. Cuttings root in sand under a hand-glass. AU the species are
uninteresting weed-like shrubs of tropical countries.
1088. Peganum. Hviyat/ov was the Greek name of the rue, which the modern plant resembles. Harmala
is the Arabic name ( hharmel) of the species so called. The species are of easy culture and propagation in any
"l089. Hudsonia. So named bv Linnseus, in honor of William Hudson, apothecary of London, F. R. S.,
and author of Flora Anglica, 1762 and 1778, octavo. It is a heath-like plant which grows in peat soil, and
young cuttings are rooted in sand under a bell-glass. It is extremely rare in gardens.
1090. Nitraria. So named by Schreber, who first found it in Siberia near the nitre works, with other saline
vegetables. This is a curious thorny shrub, peculiar to the salt deserts of Siberia. Pallas informs us, that the
berries, though saltish and insipid, are eaten in the Caspian desert, but in that arid soil they are almost the
only luxury. Camels feed on the twigs. Linnteus had the shrub twenty years before it flowered in Sweden ;

and during ten years having in vain tried to make it flower in the garden at Ups.il, he at length succeeded by
watering the plant with salt water; it flowered, however, at Gottingen without this assistance. Murray
c\ presses a surprise that it has not been used in its native soil for making soda : but |>crhaps it does not grow
in sulticieut quantity, or there may be an ample harvest in that salt region of plants that answer the same

In this country it thrives in sandy loam with a little salt put round it, and is increased by layers, or cuttings

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1094. Lythrum. From kv3-$w, black blood, in allusion to the color of the flowers. L. Salicaria (willow-
like, from Salix) although a common British plant, is considered a handsome border flower, and several
varieties, differing chiefly in size, are in cultivation. The whole plant is astringent, and has been used in
medicine and tanning.
1095. Nestea. Plants formerly referred to Lythrum, from which they seem to be satisfactorily dis-
tinguished.
1096. Heimia. Named by Link, in honor of Dr. Heim, a celebrated Berlin physician A beautiful stove
shrub with fine spikes of yellow flowers.
1097. Cuphea. From xvtpo;, curved, in reference to the form of its capsule. Pretty herbaceous or shrubby
plants, resembling Lythrum in aspect. C. MelviUa is a very handsome stove shrub resembling Bouvardia
coccinea.
1098. Kleinhofiti. So named by Linnaeus, after KleinhofF, formerly director of the botanic garden in Java.
The leaves when bruised smell like violets ; the flowers appear the greater part of the year, and the tree is
seldom without fruit in all its different stages. Cuttings root in sand under a hand-glass.
109P Callicoma. From xakes, beautiful, and xo/jw„ hair, in allusion to the tufted yellow heads of flowers,
for which the plant is remarkable. Ripened cuttings root in sand under a hand-glass.
1100. Heliocarpus. From ykio;, the sun, and xx.$vos, fruit. The valves of its round and elegantly ciliated
capsule resemble a little sun surrounded by its rays. Cuttings root in sand under a hand-glass ; and Miller
found the seeds to vegetate after being kept ten years.
1101. Agrimonia. A corruption of the word Argemone, by which name the ancients distinguished a plant
reputed useful in cataract of the eye, which in Greek was termed argema. A. Eupatoria was formerly
regarded as a remedy of much importance as a tonic and deobstruent ; but though still retained in the London
Materia Mcdica, is seldom or never prescribed. The root in spring is sweet sccntcdt and the flowers fresh

up and employed both fresh and dried. Mr. Swayne observes, that it is one of the first plant! which grow on
the rubbish thrown out of coal pits. It flowers in June and July. The root and bottom leaves are brined
from the fallen seeds before winter ; and thm it happens in this, as in many other cases, that the w Id |

of I.mnaus's, that the nodding spike of flowers follows the course of the sun, even when the sky is covered ;
pointing towards the east in a morning, to the south at noon, westward in the afternoon, and to the north
at night.
R. odorata is a well known and universal favorite. The flowers are highly odoriferous, and there are very

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
be thinned in November, leaving not more than eight or ten plants in each pot ; and at the same time, the
pots being sunk about three or four inches in some old tan or coal ashes, should be covered with a frame, which it
is best to place fronting the west : for then the lights may be left open in the evening, to catch the sun whenever
it sets clear. The third, or spring crop, should be sown in pots, not later than the twenty-fifth of February ;
these must be placed in a frame, on a gentle heat, and as the heat declines the pots must be let down three or
four inches into the dung-bed, which will keep the roots moist, and prevent their leaves turning brown, from
the heat of the sun, in April and May. The plants thus obtained, will be in perfection by the end of May
and be ready to succeed those raised by the autumnal sowing. (R/shon in Hort. Trans, ii. 372.)
R. odorata frutescens, if left to itself, hardly appears a distinct variety, but trained against a wall or to a stick
it, and also the common mignonette, may be made to assume a frutescent character. According to Sabine, the
tree mignonette is to be propagated from seeds sown in spring ; it may also be increased by cuttings, which
will readily strike. The young plants should be put singly into small pots, and brought forward by heat, that
of a gentle hot-bed being preferable, but they will grow well without artificial heat. As they advance, they
must be tied to a stick ; taking care to prevent the growth of the smaller side shoots, by pinching them off,
but allowing the leaves of the main stem to remain on for a time to support and strengthen it When they
have attained the height of about ten inches or more, according to the fancy of the cultivator, the shoots
must be suffered to extend themselves from the top, but must be occasionally stopped at the ends, to force
them to form a bushy head, which by the autumn will be eight or nine inches in diameter, and covered with
bloom. Whilst the plants are attaining their proper size, they should be shifted progressively into larger pots,
and may ultimately be left in those of about six inches in diameter at top. {Hort. Trans, iii. 181.)
Mr. Limlley's theory of the nature of the inflorescence of this genus being remarkable, and only explained
in his Collectanea Botanica, which is in few hands, it is here transcribed entire. " The usual idea of the flower
of Reseda has been, that it is furnished with a calyx of a variable number of divisions, with as many petals,
producing from their surface certain anomalous appendages, and with an ovary and stamens inserted on a
great fleshy body, called nectary by Linna?an botanists, squama by others, and raised to the rank of a distinct
organ by M. Mirbel, under the name of Gynophore. To us, however, it has always appeared, that this could
by no means be the real structure of the plant, and that by a slight alteration of terms it not only might be
much more satisfactorily explained, but its real affinity ascertained with some degree of probability. For
even allowing for a moment an analogy between the nectary of this plant and the discus of others, particu-
larly of some Tiliacea?, there is still a great difficulty remaining to be overcome in the anomalous structure of
the supposed petals, of which we can imagine no probable explanation. We are therefore of opinion, that
a much more natural mode of understanding Reseda is to consider it as having compound flowers; taking the
calyx of authors for an involucrum, their petals for neutral florets, and their nectary for the calyx of a le-.tJlc

floret in the middle In support of this opinion, we may observe, firstly, that there is a difference in the
time of expansion of the neutral florets, and of the stamens of the fertile one; the former being quite open,
in very many capituli, before one anther of the latter has bunt in a single flower. Secondly, that there is an
evident analogy between the appendages of the neutral florets, and the stamens of the perfect florets ;
inasmuch as in Heseda odorata those of the upper sterile florets arc of nearly the same number as the real
stamens ; because in Reseda alba, and some others, in which a union of filaments takes place in the perfect floret,
there is a corresponding but more complete union of the sterile appendages; and because occasionally, in
Weill odorata, stamens are changed into bodies altogether similar to the sterile appendages, and in Reseda
Phyteuma the same appearance is always assumed by the perfect Stamens after the anthers have performed
their functions. Thirdly, that there is an equal analogy between the calyx of the neutral florets, and that of
the perfect floret ; because both have a peculiar glandular margin ; the same form ; both produce their
stamens from their surface; and because the upper edge of the calyx in sterile florets has the same relation to
the axis of each particular head, as that of the perfect floret has to the axis of the whole inflorescence. In
Kc-cda Phyteuma, which has the margin of its neutral florets rolled back, the same thing occurs in the
perfect floret. Fourthly, that there is no instance of the same analogy existing between the discus and petals
of other plants. We may also observe, that in Reseda Phyteuma, there is a campanulate tube to the calyx,
into the upper edge of which the stamens arc inserted.
" To determine the affinity of Reseda to other orders, will not be to easy as to explain its structure. One
cannot avoid remarking the resemblance between its calyx and the squama of Amentacea? and Ulmacca-.
FIooMeajj Qrossulaceai and Cacti, on account of placentation and structure of seed, may be supposed to
have a certain relation to it : as may Chenopodea: with regard to inflorescence, absence of petals, and habit.
But we are disposed to believe its real place in the system is in the neighbourhood of Kuphorbiacea?, where
we have placed it in flora Seotica. They agree with it in having the same sort of aggregation of flowers,
similar habit, no corolla, and ternary division of ovarium The insertion of their ovula is the same, as is also
the direction of the radicle. They diflcr, however, firstly, in the presence of albumen ; which yet is not
entirely absorbed in Reseda till the seed is perfectly ripe, and which exists even after that time in the seed of
R. alba, where it is fleshy as in Kuphorbiacea.'. Secondly, in their solitary seeds; in which respect Rescd.icc.x-
may tie supposed to liear the same relation to Euphorbiacea? as Campanulaccae do to Composita.' ; or as some
sections of Hubiacea? to the others. In II. suflrutii ulosa the ovules appeared to bo reduced to a single raw,
and the same is said to obtain ha Ochradenu*. Thirdly, in elastic dehiscence of capsule; but as this is not
universal in Euphorbiacc.-r, it is not, strictly speaking, an objection of Importance" yl.nnllii/'s Coll. I'- I

considerable, that the plants are cut once only in four years ; the supply then obtained being sufficient for that
space of time for all Europe. The recent juice is so corrosive as to erode the skin wherever it touches ; and
the people who gather the gum are obliged to tie a cloth over their mouth and nostrils, to protect them from
the acrid dust of the withered branches, which induces the most violent sneezing. It is inodorous ; and, when
first chewed, has little taste, but it soon gives a very acrid burning impression to the tongue, palate, and throat,
which is very permanent, and almost insupportable. Euphorbium possesses powerful cathartic, emetic,
errhine, and rabefacient properties. It has been given as a hydragogue in dropsies ; but, owing to the violence
hi its effects, its internal use is now exploded : neither as an errhine can it be used alone, for it occasions so

History, Use, P> upngation. Culture,
Many of the stove species of this genus are succulents, and will thrive the better if a little lime rubbish be
added to their sandy loam. They are somewhat difficult to strike. Sweet says, " The way I have succeeded
best, is to stick them in the tan amongst the pots in a good heat, and not cover them with any glass."
{Bot. Cult. 55.)
The inflorescence of this genus is not now considered to consist of twelve stamens surrounding an ovary;
but almost as in Reseda, of a number of monandrous naked male florets surrounding a naked female floret.
This manner of understanding Euphorbia was first indicated by Jussieu, and afterwards correctly explained
by Mr. Brown.
1104. Pedilanthus. From -riiiXov, a slipper, and avS-ot, a flower, in allusion to the form of the involucre.

1)05. I'isnea. This seems to be a blunder of the younger Linnaeus for Vismea, which now is the name of a
distinct genus, which see. Ripened cuttings root freely in sand.

Class XII. — ICOSANDRIA. Stamens many, perigynous, or inserted into the Calyx.
To gardeners this is one of the most interesting of the I.innean classes, containing a greater proportion than
any other of objects which come within their observation and management. It also consists of genera for the
most part naturally allied ; and comprises not only the most remarkable portion of Ficoidea?, all Cacti, and the
chief of the Myrtacea?, but almost every genus of the beautiful and hardy tribes of Rosacea?. Its characters
are well defined, and depend upon the insertion of a number of distinct stamens, exceeding twenty, into the
inner surface of the calyx ; modifications of which organ are here found to be of more than ordinary import-
ance in characterising the genera.
The genera are extremely natural, and have been all studied with unusual attention. Some difference of
opinion exists among botanists as to the limits which ought to be assigned to them, and great diversity of no-
menclature has thence arisen. " But," as has been observed by a modern author, " in a class so strictly
natural as this is, greater difficulty is always to be expected in finding characters for genera, than in those of
which our knowledge is more imperfect, and whose series of individuals may therefore be considered less com-
plete." In the apple and pear tribe, Pomacese, where the greatest difficulty is thought to exist, we adopt
Mr. Lindley's arrangement, as published in the Transactions of the Linnean Society, which we find admitted
by all botanists of authority.
But if it is difficult to ascertain thedefinite limits of thegenera of Icosandria, it is yet more perplexing to arrive
at a satisfactory conclusion respecting the species of which the genera are constituted. Having all been, as long
as gardens have existed, the objects of cultivation, it has happened that many individuals have, under the
action of domestication, wandered so far from their original types, as to have acquired new characters for them-
selves, of so peculiar a kind as to have rendered it impossible at the present day to refer them with certainty to
the source from which they originally sprung. To remedy this confusion, which has been thus increasing for
ages, some persons have tbought it necessary to distinguish the species by such artificial characters as they are
now found to possess, without reference to any changes the genera may have undergone; but it has been found
that no facilities of discrimination have been gained by multiplying distinctions in consideration of differences
which are neither permanent or remarkable, nor connected with natural habit, but purely artificial. Toothers
it has appeared proper to endeavour to reduce the aberrant forms which now exist to those from which, upon
mature consideration, they may be presumed to have been derived, and to simplify the arrangement and dis-
crimination of the species by confining them within their primitive limits. As we think the latter to be the
most simple principles of arrangement, and as they are certainly the most philosophical, we shall here follow
those authors who have adopted them.
It is usual in this class to distinguish the orders with two and three styles from that with five : but the dif-
ferent species vary so much in the same genus in this respect, that we have only separated the genera into those
with one style, Monogynia ; with two, three, or five styles, Di-Pentagynia ; and with many styles, Polygynia.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1111. Cactus. A name under which Theophrastus describes a spiny plant, an article of food, which grew in
Sicily. This genus consists of succulent plants, permanent in duration, singular and various in structure ;
generally without leaves, and having the stem or branches jointed ; for the most part armed with spines in
bundles, with which, in many species, bristles are intermixed. These bundles of spines are placed on the top
of the tubercles in the smaller melon thistle, which is tubercled all over, and produces its flowers between the
tubercles. In the great melon thistle the spines are ranged in a single row on the ridge of the ribs. These
are of an ovate or globular form. The torch thistle, on the contrary, are slender, rise up high, are jointed and
branched ; many of them are almost cylindrical, with from five to ten shallow ribs ; some, however, are square
or three cornered. The structure of the creeping Cereuses is the same with these, except that the steins are
weak and cannot support themselves ; they therefore seek support from trees, and throw out roots from the
stem, like ivy. In the Indian figs the branches are jointed, and flatted like the sole of a shoe ; the bundles of
spines or bristles are scattered over the surface, and the flowers are produced from the edge of the extreme
branches. In the Phyllanthus the branches are thinner, they are indented along the edge, and the flowers
come out singly from the indentures. This seldom has any spines. Pereskia has a round stalk with leafy
branches ; the leaves alternate, flat, and thick ; the prickles are large and stiff, and come out in bundles on
the stalk and branches, chiefly at the axils ; the flowers are produced several together from the axils also.
In this and the Indian figs the flowers are pitcher-shaped ; in the other species they are subcylindrical and
longer ; in Phyllanthus very long. The fruit in some of the sorts is small, like currants ; but in most it is
larger, and shaped like a fig, whence their name of Indian fig.
C. melocactus, the great melon thistle or Turk's cap, appears like a large fleshy green melon, with deep ribs,
set all over with strong sharp thorns. When it is cut through the middle, the inside is found to be a soft,
green, fleshy substance, very full of moisture. The flowers and fruit are produced in circles round the upper
part of the cap. Some of those which have been brought to England, have been more than a yard in circum-
ference, and two feet and half high including the cap. But in the West Indies there are plants near twice as
large. Linnaeus observes, that this plant resembles a hedge-hog in its form and spines ; and on the top has a
ducoid, convex, villous body, from which the flowers proceed.

and Miscellaneous Particulars.
C. melocactus, mammillaris, and proliferus, by many thought to be but one species, grow upon the steep
sides of rocks in the hottest parts of America, where they seem to be thrust out of the apertures, having
little or no earth to support them : their roots shooting down into the fissures of the rocks to a considerable
depth, so that it is troublesome to get the plants up. As they delight in such rocky places, they seldom live
long when transplanted into a better soil. In times of great drought the cattle repair to the barren rocks
where these plants grow, rip them up with their horns, tear off' the outside skin, and greedily devour all the
fleshy moist part The fruit is frequently eaten by the inhabitants of the West Indies. It is about three
quarters of an inch in length, of a taper form, drawing to a point at the bottom, but blunt at the top : the
taste is an agreeable acid.
C. repandus has a fruit about the size and shape of a Bergamot pear, having many soft spines on the skin ;
the outside is a pale yellow, the inside very white, full of pulp, having a great number of small black seeds
lodged in it It frequently flowers in July, and in warm seasons will perfect its fruit, which has very little
flavor in this country, but is frequently served up at table in the West India islands.
The fruit of lanuginosus and peruvianus are also occasionally eaten where they are natives.
C. grandiflorus and flagelliformis have flowers remarkable for their beauty and sweetness. C. grandiflorus,
when arrived to a sufficient strength, will produce many exceeding large, beautiful, sweet scented flowers,
like most of this kind, of very short duration, scarcely continuing six hours full blown : nor do the flowers ever
o]>en again when once closed. They begin to open between seven and eight of the clock in the evening, are
fully blown by eleven, and by three or four in the morning they fade, and hang down quite decayed ; but during
their short continuance, there is scarcely any flower of greater beauty, or that makes a more magnificent
apjiearance ; for the calyx of the flower, when open, is near a foot diameter ; the inside of which, being of a
splendid yellow color, appears like the rays of a bright star ; the outside is of a dark brown ; the petals being of
a pure white add to the lustre ; the vast number of recurved stamens surrounding the style in the centre of
the flower make a fine appearance : add to all this the fine scent of the flower, which perfumes the air to a
considerable distance. There is scarce any plant which deserves a place in the hothouse so much as this,
especially as it may be trained against the wall, where it will not take up any room. The usual season ol its

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
flowering is in July, and when the plants are large, many flowers will open the same night, and there will be a
succession of them for several nights together. Sometimes six, eight, or ten flowers open at the same time on
one plant, making a most magnificent appearance by candle-light : but none of them are succeeded here by
any appearance of fruit,
C. flagelliformis produces a greater number of flowers than the foregoing sort : they come out in May, and
sometimes earlier, when the season is warm. The petals are of a fine pink color both within and without ; they
are not so numerous, and the tube of the flower is longer than that of the other. These flowers keep open
three or four days, provided the weather, or the place where the plants stand, be not too warm ; and during
their continuance they make a fine appearance. This sort has very slender trailing branches, which require
a support : they are not jointed, nor do they extend so far as those of the other sort. Fruit sometimes
succeeds the flowers, but seldom ripens.
C. triangularis, the strawberry pear, Poirer de Chardon, Fr., bears the best flavored fruit of any of the
sorts; it is slightly acid, and at the same time sweet, pleasant, and cooling; in Martinique and other West
India islands it is much esteemed.
C. opuntia, native of the country of the Opuntiani, whose chief town was Opus, in the vicinity of Phocis,
though like the others a native of America, is now found growing wild on the sides of the roads between
Rome and Naples and other parts of Italy, and even in the Valais. Gerarde savs, it was brought from
Virginia into England, and Collinson had it from Newfoundland. It was fruited iii Scotland in a stove by

Justice, in 1750, and recently by Braddick, near London, in the open air. This active horticultur:st, having
eaten with pleasure of the prickly pear in Virginia, was desirous of cultivating it here. He recollected that
the plant in its wild state delighted in a dry soil, amongst rocks, near the skirts of the sunny sides of the
forests; and having heard that it would stand the open air in this country, he planted it in the compost
described below, placed in a sheltered situation open to the sun. "The first plant that I turned out has lived in
the open ground of this country for six or seven years, during which period it has endured one exceeding hard
winter, and several trying springs ; and in all, except the two first years, it has never failed to ripen its fruit
and seeds, so that it may be now considered decidedly acclimated. The compost used by me for growing the
Cactus Opuntia, i6 the following : one half is carbonate of lime, for which lime-rubbish from old buildings
will answer ; the remaining half consists of equal portions of London clay and peat-earth, having the acid
neutralised by barilla : these are intimately blended and sifted. One square yard of this compost I conceive
to be sufficient for one plant, which must be placed in the middle of a small artificial hillock, raised eighteen
inches above the surface of the ground, which ground should be rendered perfectly dry, if not naturally so,
by under-draining. Neither the leaves, flowers, nor fruit should ever be suffered to touch the ground, but they
should as constantly as they are produced be kept from the earth by placing stones, pebbles, flints, or bricks
under them, in imitation of artificial rock-work." (Hort. Trans, ii. 238.) ■ . . .
C. Ficus indica is very common in Jamaica, and on it feed the wild sort of cochineal insect. J he iruit a
large and of a deep purple color, and when eaten dyes the urine of a bloody color.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
C. tuna [tyn the Arabic name for fig) is used as a hedge plant in Spain, South America, and the West
Indies. When the island of St. Christopher was to be divided between the English and the French, three rows
of the tuna were planted by common consent between the boundaries. (Sloane.) Sir J. E. Smith informs us, that
the stamens of the flower are very irritable ; and that if a feather be drawn through them, in two or three seconds
t.hey begin to lie down gently on one side, and in a short time become recumbent at the bottom of the flower. .
C. cochinillifer is the species on which the cochineal insect chiefly feeds. The insect feeds on other succu-
lent plants besides those of the Cactus genus, but this species is cultivated because least annoying by its
prickles. It produces an edible fruit larger than that of C. opuntia. On the top of the fruit there grows a red
flower : this when the fruit is ripe, falls down on the top of it, and covers it so that no rain or dew can wet
the inside. A day or two after, the flower being scorched up by the heat of the sun, the fruit opens wide, and
the inside appears full of small red insects. The Indians, when they perceive the fruit open, spread a large
linen cloth, and then with sticks shake the plant, to disturb the insect, so that they take wing to be gone, but
keep hovering over the plant, till by the heat they fall down dead on the cloth, where the Indians let them
remain two or three days till they are dry. The cochineal plants are called by the Spaniards Toona. They
are planted in the country about Guatimala, Chiape, and Guaxaca, in the kingdom of Mexico.
The difference, in point of goodness, observable in the cochineal, is entirely owing to the plant it feeds
upon. The prickly pear (C. tuna) so abundant in Jamaica, is covered with the insects, but not having their
proper food, they are in general diminutive, and have very little red tincture in their bodies. The delicate red
colored juice of the fruit is the natural food of the insect. The exuvia; and animal salts of the insect are,
from the minuteness of its parts, inseparable from the essential principles of the dye, and must diminish the
brilliancy of the color : and this has put some persons upon inspissating the juice of the fruit itself. The
ripe fruit is said to check fluxes by its mild restringency ; it is also a powerful diuretic, and sometimes imparts
a tinge to the urine.
C. pereskia, so called from the generic name of Plumier, who made this species a distinct genus, in memory
of N. F. Peiresk of Aix, whose name, as Tournefort says, is his only monument, has fruit about the size
of a walnut, having tufts of small leaves on it, and within a whitish mucilaginous pulp.
In our stoves, according to Sweet, " sandy loam, or loam mixed with a little brick rubbish, is the best soil
for all the Cacti : the pots should be as small as the plants will allow, and well drained with potsherd*. They

and Miscellaneous Particulars.
require very little water. The best way to flower them is to expo.vc them to the air all the summer, which
makes them get plump and throws them into flower-bud. Most of the species are tine flowers. Cuttings, .liter
they are taken orf, should !>e left, to dry a few weeks till they are shrivelled, then potted, and they will rout
immediately. (Bot. Cult. 81.)
1112. Rhipsalis. From «^, a willow branch, in allusion to the flexible decumbent branches of the genus.
Curious, branched, jointed, leafless, prostrate plants. Culture as in Cactus.
1113. Bartonia. Named by Pursh, in honor of Dr. B. S. Barton of Philadelphia, an American botanist.
Beautiful plants, with alternate pinnatitid rough glaucous leaves, and large white flowers, which open during
the night, and spread a most agreeable odor. Very rare, if they yet exist, in collections.
1114. Pliitadelphus. A name used by Athenams for a tree which is now unknown. Bauhin applied it to this
genus. The species are free flowerers, well adapted for the shrubbery. The native country of P. coronarius
is not known ; it is generally referred to the south of Europe, but it has only been found twice in Italy, and
then in situations where it might have been planted. The flowers have the appearance and odor of those
of the orange, but the odor in near contact is much more powerful. Seeds are seldom produce;! in this
country. The leaves taste like fresh cucumbers. P. grandiflorus is a very shewy plant. All the species grow
freely in common soil, and are increased by layers.
1115. Leptospermum. From terms, slender, and vmyvr., seed, in allusion the extreme tenuity of the seeds.
Pretty New Holland plants. L. scoparium grows commonly in dry places near the shores in New Zealand,
and the underwood in Adventure Bay, Van Dieman's Land, chiefly consists of this shrub. The leaves were
used by Captain Cook's ships' crews as tea, whence they named it the tea plant. The leaves have a very
agreeable bitter flavor, with a pleasant smell, when fresh ; but lose something of both, when dry. If tho
infusion was made strong, it proved emetic to some, in the same manner as green tea. It was also used with
spruce leaves, in equal quantity, to correct their astringency in brewing beer from them ; and they rendered
the beer exceedingly palatable.
Young cuttings of all the species will root readily in sand, under a bell-glass : the species may also be raised
from seeds; but plants from cuttings are best, as they flower young, and the seedlings do not flower till they
attain a considerable size. (Bot. Cult. 214.)
1116. Fabricia. Dedicated by Gaertner to John Christian Fabricius, the famous Entomologist. The species

History, Use, Propagation, culture,
requiring to grow to a good size before they produce flowers are well adapted for a conservatory : the culture
and propagation as in Leptospermum.
1117. Metrosideros. From a6-/)t§«, the heart of a tree, and <riir,(ov, iron, in allusion to the hardness of the
wood. One species (M. vera) is called Iron wood. The Chinese make their rudders and anchors of it ; and
among the Japanese it is so scarce and valuable that it is only allowed to be manufactured in the service of
their king. The bark is used as a remedy for fluor albus and diarrhoea, being mixed with Pinang, and a
small quantity of cloves and nutmegs. This is a genus distinguished at sight by the peculiar character of the
shrubs of Australasia, with both sides of the leaf alike. M. hispida, lanceolata, and speciosa, are beautiful
plants, but not free flowerers. They are rather difficult to strike. Sweet recommends " ripened wood planted
under a bell-glass in sand."
1118. Pskllum. One of the Greek names of the Pomegranate. In English it is called Gunva, a corruption
of the American name Giiayaba. Most of the species are cultivated in the tropics for their fruit, which also
ripens freely in this country, though it is of little merit. P. pyriferum bears fruit the size of a hen's egg,
yellowish, with a peculiar smell. The rind is brittle and fleshy; pulp rather firm, full of bony seeds, flesh
colored, sweet, aromatic, and pleasant. In the West Indies it is eaten with avidity, not only by the natives,
but by Europeans : with those who are not accustomed to it, the Guava is apt to occasion a slight flux j but
Jacqiiin affirms, that when he has been thirsty on a journey he has eaten of it to satiety without suffering any
harm. It is eaten raw in the dessert, but the seeds are scarcely separable. It is also preserved with sugar.
P. pomiferum has fruit like a pomegranate, which is seldom eaten, though eatable, and being astringent is counted
strengthening for the stomach. P. Cattleianum is reckoned one of the best of the Guavas ; the fruit is of a fine
deep claret color, and the pulp in consistence and flavor bears a considerable resemblance to the strawberry.
All the species are of easy culture in light and rather rich loam, and are increased readily by seeds, layers, or
cuttings in sand under a hand-glass.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
what Gerarde and Eyelyn say, before the invention of greenhouses, and probably in that case preserved by
covering or housing in rooms. It was a great favorite among the ancients, for its elegance, and its evergreen
sweet leaves. It was sacred to Venus, either on this account, or perhaps because it flourishes most in the
neighbourhood of tho sea. Myrtle-wreaths adorned the brows of bloodless victors, and were the symbol of
authority for magistrates at Athens. Both branches and berries were put into wine, and the latter were used
in the cookery of the ancients. The myrtle was also one of their medicinal plants. All parts of it are
astringent, but it is discarded from modern practice.
M. coriacea, sometimes called wild cinnamon, is a most elegant tree, with a handsome ash-colored straight
trunk, and pyramidal head. It grows slowly, and flowers late twice a year In old trees, the bark becomes
white, and hangs down in shreds which have an aromatic quality. The timber is red, very hard, and used in
mill-work Tho berries, which are the size of peas, and of an agreeable aromatic smell and taste, are used
in culinary purposes.
1122. Calyptranthes. From xaXwrrjov, a lid, and wvS-as-, a flower, in allusion to the peculiar manner in
which the segments of the calyx, being grown together, fall off
Zuzygium, is so called from aulvyos, coupled, in allusion to the manner in which the branches and leaves

1123. Pimenta. A genus readily distinguishable from Mvrtus by the structure of its ovarium. It is a
handsome tree, common in the hilly parts of the north side of Jamaica. The flowers are without shew, and
are succeeded by spherical purple berries crowned with a persistent calyx : they are called Jamaica pepper or
all-spice, from their taste being thought to resemble a composition of all other spices. The beiries are
gathered before being ripe, and are carefully dried on mats or terraced floors in the shade. In ten or twelve
zuzygium, is so caneu irom ev^vyas, coupiea, in allusion to tne manner in which the branches and leaves

lis genus, Sweet observes, " do not strike freely ; ripened ones strike best in sand under a bell-glass : but the
lants root best from layers," (Bot. Cult. 34.)

days they become wrinkled, dry, and of a dark brown color, and are then packed in bags or casks for sale
Some kiln-dry them by which the same object is sooner effected. The berries have an agreeable aromatic
subastringent taste, resembling that of a mixture of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmegs, with the warm pungent
taste of the cloves ; qualities which reside chiefly in the cortical part of the dried berry, and are better
extracted by a watery infusion, than by spirit or distillation. They are much used in the kitchen, and also by
the druggists to cover the disagreeable taste of other remedies, or to give them warmth. An oil is obtained
by distillation which is said to be nearly equal to that of oil of cloves, and sometimes substituted for it.
1124. Olynthia. So named from okw&os, a little fig or berry. A genus separated from Myrtu* on account
of the singular manner in which all the parts of the seed are consolidated. A small stove plant common in
collections.
1125. Stravadium. The Malabar name of this plant is Tsjera samslravadi, from which Stravadium has
been contrived. A fine tree with racemose flowers, and large, four-cornered, oblong fruit. A delicate stove
plant rarely seen.
1126. Eucalyptus. From w, well, and y.a.\v*™, to cover as with a lid ; a name, therefore, with the same
meaning as Calyptranthes, No. 1122. This genus consists of the loftiest timber trees of New Holland.
Botanists knowing them principally from dried specimens, their respective heights cannot be stated correctly.
They are all of the tallost habit, and soon grow beyond the limits of our stoves. In Van Dieman's Island a
manufactory has been established for the preparation of extract of tannin from the bark of various species of
Eucalyptus. A considerable quantity of the substance has been imported into England recently, and it M
said to have been found by the tanners to be twice as powerful in its operation as oak-bark.
E resinifera produces a gum resin something like the Kino of druggists (obtained from a species of
Pterocarpus), and for all medical purposes full as efficacious.
All the species, Sweet observes, " are fine plants for a large conservatory, as they grow very fast, and are

generally well clothed with beautiful foliage ; they will also flower freely, when of a moderate size. The best
soil for them is a mixture of loam and peat ; and cuttings of them may be struck in sand under a bell-glass ;
but they are not so free to root, as most of this natural order are. (Bot. Cult. 189.)
j 127. Punica. This fruit was caUed by the ancients Malum Punicum, Carthaginian apple ; because, as Pliny
tells us, the tree was first known to grow in the vicinity of Carthage. Hence has the term Punica been con-
structed. P. nana has very small fruit and flowers, and is used in the West Indies as a hedge-plant, as P. Granatum
(from granum, grain, on account of the numerous grains of its fruit) is in the south of France and in Italy. The
latter, in its wild state, is a thorny bush not unlike our hawthorn : the flowers have a fine appearance, and the
fruit is very ornamental. It will produce fruit, trained against a south wall, in many parts of England ; and
under a glass-case, or against a flued wall, it is probable, the fruit might be as highly flavored as that imported
from Genoa and Leghorn. The flowers come out at the ends of the branches, singly, or three and four together ;
and, therefore, in pruning, care must be had to bring into action only the strongest buds. For this purpose, all
the weak shoots should be cut out, and the stronger ones shortened, so as to produce bearing-shoots over the
whole tree. The best soil is a rich strong loam.
The double-flowering varieties are to be treated in the same manner, and are highly ornamental.
1128. Anwgdalus, The Greek name of the almond. The species are fruit-trees, or ornamental trees and
shrubs, both much esteemed for the gay color and early appearance of their flowers. A. Persica, the peach
and nectarine, bears the most exquisitely delicious of European fruits ; it is more gratifying to the palate by its
mass of juicy pulp than the grape, and more delicate than the melon. Some, however, prefer the grape and melon
to the peach and nectarine ; but the most delicate of taste consider the latter as surpassed only by the pine-app.> .
The varieties of peach and nectarine are numerous, and by raising from seed might easily be rendered innumer-
able. The best varieties have been raised in France, at Montreuil, a village of peach growers for the Paris market.
Some good varieties have been raised in England by Mr. Knight, and other members of the Horticultural So-
ciety. The peach, to attain its proper flavor, must be protected by glass during the spring and earlier summer
months, and exposed to the direct influence of the weather during the ripening process. Ripened under
glass, unless very liberal supplies of air are given, the flavor will be very inferior. Mr. Knight considers that
the direct rays of the sun (without the intervention of glass) are of great advantage to the proper ripening, and
essential to the coloring of the peach.
Linnaeus divides the A. Persica into two varieties ; that with downy fruit, or the peach, and that with smooth
fruit, or the nectarine. There are various instances on record (Hort. Trans, vol. i. p. 103.) of both fruits growing
op the same tree, even on the same branch ; and one case has occurred of a single fruit partaking of the nature
of both. The French consider them as one fruit, arranging them in four divisions ; the peches, or free-stone
peaches, the flesh of whose fruit separates readily from the skin and the stone ; the peches lisses, or free-stone
nectarines, or free-stone smooth peaches ; the pavics, ox ding-stone peaches, whose flesh is firm, and adheres

both to the skin and stone ; and the brugnons, or nectarines, or cling-stone smooth peaches. Knight. [Hart.
Trans, iii. 1.)
The double-blossomed peach is one of the most ornamental of spring-flowering trees ; its blossoms appear
about three weeks later than those of the common peach.
A. communis and amara, and especially the former, are employed as ornamental trees in front of shrubberies,
and in suburban gardens. In the south of France, Italy, Spain, and diffeient parts of the Levant, they are culti-
vated for their fruit In France they have above a dozen species or varieties, besides a hybrid called the almond-
peach. (See Duhamel.) The common and bitter almond are only to be distinguished by the taste of the kernels
of their fruit The Jordan almonds, which come from Malaga, are the best sweet almonds brought to England ;
the bitter come chiefly from Magadore. The bitter cuticle of almonds is taken oft' by immersion in boiling
water. The almond eaten as food is not very digestible, and requires to be well masticated.
Robertson (Hort. Trans, iii. 382.) and various botanists consider the peach and almond as one species.
Four distinguished and ingenious attempts have been made to class the varieties of peaches and nectarines
by the leaf and flower as well as the fruit : the first is by Poiteau, in the Bon Jardinier ; the next by Count
Lelieur, in his Pomone Francaise; the third by Robertson, nurseryman, of Kilkenny, whose arrangement is
founded on the glands of the leaves ; and the fourth, and most important, by Mr. George Lindley, in the fifth
volume of the Horticultural Society's Transactions. The latter writer has, in a peculiarly distinct manner,
arranged no fewer than 155 sorts of peaches and nectarines in well defined divisions or sections.
The bitter almond contains less fixed oil, than the sweet almond, and a portion of prussic acid or
hydrocyanic acid, upon which its narcotic power is supposed to depend. This variety is said to operate
as a poison on dogs and some other animals, but not generally on the human species. The distilled water
exerts an action not less deleterious than that of laurel water on the human frame. It produces vertigo,
head-ache, tinnitis aurium, dizziness of sight, and vomiting, when taken to the extent of thirty drops only ;
and a drachm of it has killed a stout dog. When a large doze is taken, death almost instantly follows. In
order to counteract its poisonous effects recourse is had to diffusibles, as brandy and ammonia ; or three or
four spoonfuls of oil of turpentine may be given at intervals of half an hour. The fixed oil, which both varieties
of the almond yield by expression in large quantity, is insipid and inodorous when heat has not been
employed.
Sweet almonds are used more as food than as medicine, but they afford little nourishment Heartburn is
•aid to be relieved by eating six or eight of them decorticated. When triturated with water, milky mixtures
or emulsions are formed ; and they are also used in pharmacy for assisting, by trituration, the combination of
substances, such as camphor and the resins with water. Bitter almonds are scarcely ever used medicinally.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1129 Primus The origin of this name is wholly unknown. The Greeks called it mm, and the Latins
vrunu's From this genus have been obtained the principal characters of that section of the natural order Ro-
sacea?, which is called Amygdalea; or Prunacea:, and which is curiously and chemically known by the presence
of Frussic acid all in the species, and in all their parts.
P Padus (a name of Theophrastus), the bird-cherry, is an ornamental tree, by its purple bark, leafy bunches
of w'hite flowers, and berries successively green, red, and black. It is common in the native woods ot Scotland
and Sweden and in both countries the berries are infused in spirits in order to give them an agreeable flavor.
The fruit is i auseous to the taste, though greedily eaten by birds. The bark is used by the Finlanders to cure
venereal complaints, and also with success by regular practitioners in Stockholm for the same purpose. {Stock-
holm Acts ) The tree is very leafy, and dislikes a wet soil; but bears lopping as copsewood. The wood is
beautifully veined, and used for cabinet work in France, as is that ot P. virginiana in America.
P. rubra greatly resembles P. Padus. P. caroliniana is an imperfect evergreen
P Laurofcerasus is one of our most popular evergreens. It was first brought from Constantinople to Hol-
land in 1576 ; the first we read of in England was one at Highgate, in the garden of Mr. James Cole, a merchant
of London who, as Parkinson informs us, used to cover it in winter with a blanket. In less than half a cen-
turv afterwards (1688V Bay informs us, the laurel was common in English gardens. It is now as universal in
shrubberies as the rose. The kernel-like flavor of the fresh leaves has led to their use in flavoring custards and
other cuinary preparations ; but as these leaves are poisonous, they ought to be used with caution. To brute
animals the effect of the distilled water of laurel leaves is almost instant death ; and two women in Dublin,
anrt Sir T Boughton in England, have been poisoned by it.
P lusitanica is a most beautiful evergreen shrub, nearly as universal as the lauro-cerasus It was brought
to England from Portugal, but does not appear to be a native of that country ; probably ot Madeira or some
other islands possessed by the Portuguese in the sixteenth or seventeenth centuries.
P Mahaleb (Mahhateb the Arabic name) flowers profusely, and disperses an odor resembling that of
Clematis for a considerable distance around. Its fruit is round, shining black and so hard that it has been
bored for bead' h° the catholics. The wood is perfumed and used by the French in cabinet-work, especially
bi the village of St Lucie, near Comme.vy, whence, among the French, the plant has obtained the name of

and Miscellaneous Particulars.
or before 1415, that the hawkers in London were wont to expose cherries for sale in the same manner as is
now done early in the season. The tree is now very generally cultivated both as a wall and standard fruit,
and has been forced for upwards of two centuries.
The Romans had eight varieties of cherry : in the British gardens are upwards of forty sorts. The French
divide their cherries into griottes, or tender-fleshed ; bigarreaux, or hard-fleshed ; and guignes, or small fruits.
The fruit of many varieties is somewhat heart-shaped, hence the very general cognomen ; why some sorts are
called dukes is not as obvious. The Morello cherry is very distinct from the other varieties, bearing almost
exclusively on the preceding year's wood, and the pulp of the fruit having the consistence and flavor of the
Morel, whence the name. Cherries are grafted or budded on seedlings from cherry-stones, or better from
seedlings of the wild cherry. For dwarfing, they are worked on the bird cherry or perfumed cherry : the
latter is preferred in Holland.
Cherry trees are very ornamental in shrubberies and woods, and valuable as encouraging the different
species of thrush. The gum of cherry trees is eatable, and equal to that of gum arabic ; the wood is hard
and tough, and used by the turner and cabinet maker.
Prunus Pseudo-Cerasus, the Chinese cherry, is of recent introduction, and most valuable on account of its
bearing an excellent fruit, and producing it abundantly in a forcing-house.
P. avium, the gean, guigne, Fr., attains a large size, and its timber is of considerable value : the black
corone cherry is supposed to be an improved variety of it, as are the different geans.
P. domestica is generally considered the original of the plum tree, Prune, Fr., Pflaumen, Ger., and
Prugno, Ital. Many, however, conjecture that P. insititia, spinosa, and domestica, are the same species. There
are several sorts of plums found wild in Britain, independently of the sloe, such as the bullace, damsou,
muscle, and winesour. The plum is said to love a lofty exposure, and to be favorable to the growth of grass
under it The bark dyes yellow, the wood is used in turnery, and the dried fruit or prune is formed into
electuaries and gentle purgatives. Prunes were originally brought from Damascus, whence their name of
damask, but are now chiefly imported from France.
There are a great many varieties of the plum in France, and in British gardens nearly a hundred sorts. By
far the best dessert plum is the greengage, Heine Claude, Fr., Regina Claudio, Ital. It is well known
throughout Europe, and perfectly distinct from every other variety. The damson is the best baking pluin,
and the winesour the best for sweetmeats. Plums are generally grafted or budded on muscle or damson
stocks.
Prunus Armeniaca, Abricot, Fr., Abr icosc nbaum, Ger., Alhicocco, Ital, Albarcoquc, Portug. is a Bruit
tree next in esteem to the peach. From its trivial name, it is generally supposed to have originated in
Armenia, but Kegnier and Sickler assign it a parallel between the Niger and the Atlas ; and Pallas states it
to be a native of the whole of the Caucasus; the mountains there, to the top, being covered with it,
Tliunberg describes it as a verv large, spreading, branch; tree in Japan, drossier says, that it covers the
r rrcn mountains to the west ol Pekin, that the Chinese have a great many varieties of the tree double-

blossomed, which they plant on little mounts for ornament, and dwarfs in pots for their apartments. It
appears from Turner's Herbal, that the apricot was cultivated here in 1562 ; and in Hackluyt's Remembrancer,
1.082, it is affirmed, that the apricot was procured out of Italy by Wolfe, a French priest, gardener to
Henry VIII. The fruit seems to have been known in Italy in the time of Dioscorides, under the name of
Prtscocia, probably, as Regnier supposes, from the Arabic, Berkoch ; whence the Tuscan, Bocoehe or
Albicocco, and the English Apricock j or, as Professor Martyn observes, a tree when first introduced, might
have been called a prtecox, or early fruit ; and gardeners, taking the article a for the first syllable of the word,
might easily have corrupted it to apricocks. The orthography seems to have been finally changed to apricot
about the end of the last century.
There are fifteen or twenty excellent varieties of apricot, besides the peach apricot, a large fruit supposed
to be a hybrid between a peach and an apricot. The trees are generally budded on plum stocks, and always
trained against walls. Apricots do not force freely.
1130. Chrysobalanus. From xevtro;, gold, and SocXavos, an acorn ; in allusion to the size, color, and form of
its fruit. C. Icaco (the West Indian name) bears flowers and fruit not unlike the plum, which is sold in
the markets of the West Indies, and eaten both raw and preserved. Both species grow well in a sandy loam.
Large cuttings root best, taken off at a joint, and planted thinly in a pot of sand, without having their leaves
injured, and a hand-glass placed over them. (Bot. Cult. 39.)
1131. Mespilus. In Greek jjuittiXvi, from /mo-os, half, and »Ass, bullet ; the fruit resembling half a bullet or
round ball. In French it is called nrfle, from the Celtic naff, which also signifies truncate. M. Germanica,
bears a turbinated berry, which is eaten raw in a state of incipient decay. It is little cultivated, but one or
two trees are generally introduced in shrubberies or in complete orchards. There are one or two varieties
besides the wild sort ; what is called (he Dutch medlar is reckoned the best. It is grafted on seedlings of the

wild medlar, or on any other species of the same genus : often on the common thorn. The other species bears
fruit similar to M. germanica, but more dry.
1132. Crateegus. From x^aro;, force, on account of the extreme hardness of the wood of the original
Crataegus, which appears to be what is now called Pyrus aria, the beam-tree. This is a very ornamental
genus of small hardy trees, valuable for the neatness of their foliage, the earliness of their flowers in spring,
and the rich colors of their berries in autumn.
C. oxyacantha, oI-js, ccxat^a, sharp-spine, is the best hedge plant in Europe, and also furnishes some highly
ornamental varieties, especially the double-blossomed and scarlet-blossomed.
The fruit of C. odoratissima is very agreeable. That of the Azarole (al z'aroir Arabic, according to
Castel and John de Souza) is much esteemed in the South of Europe In this country it rarely arrives at
perfection.
1133. Pyrus. From the Celtic peren, the Anglo-Saxons made pete, the English, pear, the French, poire, and
the Latins, pyrus, or for the fruit, pyrum. From the Celtic word api, which also signified a fruit resembling
an apple, the Greeks obtained mmee, the English, apple, the Germans, apfel. To this day the French dis-
tinguish a tribe of small fruited apples by the name api.
P. malus, Pomme, Fr , Apfel, Ger., and Porno, Ital., is the most popular of British fruits. None can be
brought to so high a degree of perfection with so little trouble ; and of no other are there so many excellent
varieties in general cultivation, calculated for almost every soil, situation, and climate, which our islands
afford. Very good apples are grown in the Highlands and Orkneys, and even in the Shetland isles, [Caltd,
Hort. Mem. vol. ii.) as well as in Devonshire and Cornwall ; some sorts are ripe in the beginning of July, and
others, which ripen later, will keep till June. Unlike other fruits, those which ripen latest are the best
The tree attains a great age, is in general very prolific, and the timber is valuable for the turner, millwright

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
and cabinet maker. The Romans had twenty-two varieties, and there are now several hundreds in Britain
and France, and some excellent sorts from America. They are usually divided into dessert, baking, and cyder
fruiU ; the first high flavored, the second such as fall or become mellow in baking or boiling, and the third
austere, and generally fruits of small size. Besides this division, apples are classed as pippins or seedlings,
pearmains or somewhat pear-shaped fruits, rennets or queens, specked fruits, calvilles or white-skinned
fruits, russets or brown fruits, codlings or falling fruits, and burknots, which grow readily by cuttings. Most
sorts of apple form ugly trees as standards, but are otherwise very ornamental in shrubberries from their
blossoms. The crabs, and especially the varieties obtained from the Siberian crab, form much the handsomest
heads, and have also more brilliant blossoms. The apple may be propagated by layers, and many sorts by
cuttings; but the usual mode is by grafting on crab-stocks, and for dwarfing on stocks of the paradise
apple.
P. communis, Poirier, Fr., Birnbaum, Ger., and Pero, Ital., is a fruit-tree next in popularity and value to
the apple tree. It is a greatly superior dessert fruit, but not so valuable for culinary purposes and the press.
There are fewer good sorts of pears, in proportion to the number of current varieties, than of apples ; but a
few, as the Jargonelles, Bergamots, Beurrees, Chaumontelles, &c. are most exquisite dessert fruits, and are
much easier of digestion than the apple. It arrives in greater perfection in France and the north of Italy
than in England. The Chaumontelles of Guernsey are in high repute, as are the St. Germain's and other sort's
of Picardy, and the Beurrees of Milan. The Romans had thirty-six varieties, and there are many hundreds
in the French and British nurseries, most of them good for little. Professor Van Mods, of Brussels, and
M. Duquessie, of Mons, fruited about 8000 seedling pears, from which they obtained nearly 800 sorts worth
cultivating. (Ncil/'s Hort. Tour.) The varieties are divided intodessert and baking fruits ; and also into melting
or butter pears, beurrees, Fr., breaking pears, crevers, Fr., and perry, poiree, Fr., fruits. The tree is grafted
on seedlings of the same species, and for dwarfing and precocity on the quince. It is a much handsomer
upright growing tree than the apple, more durable, and its wood hard and valuable for the turner and
millwright ; but its blossoms being white, are less sheuy than those of the apple.
P. domestica, and the other species of service are very ornamental trees; their leaves are mostly white

varieties the pear and apple-shaped, cultivated in some parts of France and near Genoa for their rruits.
Those like the medlar and quince are not eaten till in a state of incipient decay. There are but lew of the
true service in English gardens, but the P. hybrida and pinnatirida are common, and their truit, winch
resembles that of the mountain ash, is sometimes made use of. .
P. aucuparia and Americana are handsome trees for shrubberies, the former very popular in suburban
Sa\mS'Cudonia. So called from being native of the ancient town Cydon in the Island of Crete; or -perhaps
it mav be a corruption of malus-coronca, by which the Latins designate the fruit. C. vulgaris is a deformed
low tree sometimes cultivated for its fruit, which is a pome with a persisting calyx like the medlar. It is used
as a marmalade for flavoring apple-tarts. It prefers moist loam, and is raised by layers. It is most in use,
however as a stock for thenar. C. japonica is a beautiful low bush, remarkable for the brilliancy of its
blossoms, which vary from the richest scarlet to the most delicate blush color. It is hardy, and well adapted
for single plants, upon grass, or for forming ornamental hedges in flower gardens •„„.,„

1138 Amelanchier. According to Clusius, Amelancier is the old Savoy name of the plant It has been
adopted by Mr. Lindley as the title of a small group of plants nearly related to Pyrus, but curiously distin-
guished by the 10-ceUs of the ovary.
1139. Cotoneaster. Named in allusion to the cottony nature of the fruit and young branches of the most
common species. Small inconspicuous bushes, with solitary pink flowers almost hidden among the leaves.
1140 Waldsteinw Named bv Willdenow, in honor of Franz de Waldstein, a distinguished German
botanist. Plants with the aspect of Potentilla or rather Geum. . -
1141 Spircea lauta., signifies a cord. Spireon is Pliny's name for a plant the blossoms of which are used
in garlands That plant is thought to have been the Viburnum Lantana. This genus aflbrds some ornn-

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1145. Tetragonia. From n-r^as, quaternary, and yuuee, an angle, in allusion to the four angles of the bony
pericarpium. The species are succulent trailers of no beautv, but possibly all fit to be used, like Chenopodium',
as a spinage. T. expansa has been so used by Captain Cook when visiting New Zealand, and lately intro-
duced for the same purpose in British gardens ; as a summer spinage, it is as valuable as the orache, or perhaps
more so. Every gardener knows the plague that attends the frequent sowing of common spinage through the
the warm season of the year ; without that trouble it is impossible to have it good, and with the utmost care
it cannot always be obtained exactly as it ought to be, (particularly when the weather is hot and dry,) from
the rapidity with which the young plants run to seed. The New Zealand spinage, if watered, grows freelv,
and produces leaves of the greatest succulency in the hottest weather. Anderson, one of its earliest
cultivators, had only nine plants, from which, he says, " 1 have been enabled to send in a gathering for the
kitchen every other day since the middle of June, so that I consider a bed with about twenty plants quite
sufficient to give a daily supply, if required, for a large table."

and Miscellaneous Particulars.
The seed should be sown in the latter end of March in a pot, which must be placed in a melon-frame ; the
seedling plants, while small, should be set out singly in small pots, and kept under the shelter of a cold frame,
until about the twentieth of May, when the mildness of the season will probably allow of their being planted
out, without risk of being killed by frost The plants must be put out three feet apart in very rich soil. In
five or six weeks from the planting, their branches will have grown sufficiently to allow the gathering of the
leaves for use. In dry seasons, the plants will probably require a good supply of water. They put forth their
branches vigorously as soon as they have taken to the ground, and extend before the end of the season three
feet on each side.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
but when growing freely, and at the flowering season, they require a moderate supply of water. The stronger
and more woody kinds may be planted in a richer soil ; but the poorer the soil is, the dwarfer thev will grow,
and the more abundantly they will flower; they also require more water than the dwarf kinds, particularly
at the flowering season, but need very little in winter. A good dry frame is sufficient to preserve therri
through the winter, with the covering of mats in frosty weather. Cuttings of any of them strike root readily,
planted in pots of earth, and kept dry till they begin to wither ; when they may have a little water, and they
will root very soon. (Bot. Cult. 224.)

allusion to the cohesion of the styles into a membranous tube. An artificial division of Mesembry-
anthemum.
1148. Rosa. From rhos, signifying red in Armorican, whence paSow, Greek, and rosa, Latin. The rose has
been a favorite flower from time immemorial among the civilized nations of Europe and Asia. The shrub
varies in size in different species, from one foot to six or eight, and the colors are red, white, yellow, purple,
striped ; simple, or in almost numberless shades and mixtures ; the flowers are single, semi-double, and double.
The odour is universally grateful. It is cultivated in every garden, from that of the most humble cottager
upwards ; some species, as R. centifolia, damascena, &c. arc also cultivated bv commercial gardeners on a large
scale tor distilling rose water, and for making attar, or essential oil of roses. Six pounds of rose- leaves will
impregnate by distillation a gallon of water strongly with their odor ; but a hundred pounds affords scarcely
hall an ounce of attar. The rose is also used in medicine. Botanists arc no! agreed as to the number of

original species of this genus : some regard all the European species as originated from one source; others,
and especially the moderns, divide them into species, subspecies, and varieties. The most scientific work
which has appeared in England on roses is the Rosarum Monographia of Mr. Lindley, 1819, in which above a
hundred species or subspecies are described, and some of them figured ; Miss Lawrence has published
ninety plates of A Collection of Koses from Nature, 1810. In France, Guillemeau has published Ilistoire
Naturelle de la Rose, 1800 ; and Redoute and Thory are engaged in a splendid work, in folio, entitled
Les Roses, containing plates of all the known species and varieties of this flower. Thory has published a
separate tract on their culture, entitled Prodrome de la Monographic du Genre Rosier, \c 1820; Pronville,
a Nomenclature Raisonnee, in 1818; and Vibert, Observations, &c, in 1820. A copious and intelligent
account of the Scotch roses has been given by Mr. Sabine \Hort. Trans, iv. 231.), and some hundreds of
new varieties have flowered from seedling plants in the Hammersmith nursery, and will soon he found in the
sale catalogues.
Species and varieties. The lists of the London and Paris nurserymen contain upwards of 5i)0 names : that
of Calvert and Co , Englishmen, who have established a nursery atBonne Nouvelle near Rouen, enumerates
mar 900 sorts. The greater part of these have been raised, within the last thirty years, from seed on the con-
tinent, where it ripens better than in this country. A number of varieties have also been raised in Britain,
especially of the R. spinosissima, or Scotch rose, of which above 300 varieties arc procurable in the Glasgow
nursery. New varieties are raised in Prance and Italy annually; Vill.iresi, royal gardener at Monza, has
raised upwards of fifty varieties of Rosa mdica; not one of which has, as far as we know, rcucht.il this

country. Some of them are quite black, others shaped like a ranunculus, and many of them highly
odoriferous. The most remarkable only are here arranged under the species to which they are referable.
A modern invention, of Dutch origin, in the culture of roses, is that of forming standards, by bud-
ding on stocks of any of the hardy woody growing sorts, as the dog rose, R. canina, or the tree rose,
R villosa. They are budded at different distances from the ground, according to taste and the purposes in
view, and form, after a few years, handsome round heads, which flower freely, and preserve the variety a
longer time than in plants raised from cuttings or layers. They are particularly valuable for shrubberies and
lawns, where the culture at the root required by dwarf roses could not be given, and if omitted would
occasion the degeneracy of the variety.
New varieties of the rose are obtained from seed ; but the usual mode of propagation is by layers. All will
grow by cuttings, and some, as the sempervirens, freely ; but that mode is seldom resorted to. For preserving
delicate varieties, the best mode seems decidedly that of budding on hardier sorts.
No species of rose, wild or cultivated, thrives well in or very near large towns, on account of the smoke and
confined air. The yellow and Austrian roses (R lutea and R. bicolor) are difficult to flower in any situation,
but seldom or never blow in the suburbs of London : even the monthly rose does not thrive so well there as
at some miles distance in the country. Roses are generally planted in the front of shrubberies, and in borders ;
they are also planted by themselves in rose gardens or rosaries, in groups on lawn, either with common
edgings, or with edgings of wire, in imitation of basket-work. These last are called baskets of roses ; the
ground enclosed in the basket-margin is made convex, so as to present a greater surface to the eye, and
increase the illusion ; the shoots of the stronger sorts are lavcred or kept down by pegs till they strike roots

into the ground, so that the points of the shoots furnished with buds appear only above the soil, which is
sometimes covered with moss or small shells. Under this treatment, the whole surface of the basket becomes,
in two or three years, covered with rose-buds and leaves of one or of various sorts. Where one of the larger
free-growing sorts is employed, as the moss, or any of the Provence varieties, one plant may be trained so
as to cover a surface of many square yards Where different sorts are introduced in the same basket, they
should be as much as possible assimilated in size of leaves and flowers and habits of growth, and as ihl-
ferent as possible in the colors of their flowers. By mixing small-flowered with large showy sorts, the beauty
of the former is lost without adding to the effect of the latter. .
In rosaries, commonly, but one plant of a sort is introduced, and the varieties which most resemble each
other are placed together, by which their distinctions are better seen. Particular compartments are often
devoted to one species, as the Scotch, Chinese, yellow, burnet-lcaved, &c. which has an excellent effect ; some-
times a piece of rock-work in the centre is covered with the creeping roses, and on other occasions those are
trained to trellis-work, which forms a fence or hedge of roses round the whole. In this hedge, standard rovs
are sometimes introduced at regular distances; a grove of standards is also frequently formed in ti.e centre 01
the rosary, and sometimes they are introduced here and there in the beds.
Standard roses, however, have certainly the best effect in flower borders, or when completely dctaciicn on a
lawn : their sameness of form, and that form being compact and lumpish, prevents them from grouping ml,
either among themselves or with other objects. Their beauty consists in their singularity as rose plants, , a IM
in their flowers ; and, therefore, to display these beauties to the best advantage, they require to Ik- see. nng ly,
or in succession. This is the case where they occur as single objects or. a lawn, or in the centre, and lure and

there among groups of flowers ; or in lines or avenues, along flower walks. In the gardens of the Grand
Trianon, they are planted profusely in large masses, like plantations of trees and shrubs, and there much of
their individual beauty is lost, and no good general effect produced.
Most species of the rose, in their wild state, grow in sandy and rather poor soil, except such as are natives of
woods, where the soil is richer, and comparatively moist. But all the cultivated roses, and especially the
double-flowering kinds, require a rich loamy soil, inclining to clay rather than sand ; and they require also,
like most double flowers, plenty of moisture when in a growing state.
To produce strong flowers, roses require some attention to pruning; old wood should be yearly cut out, and
the young shoots thinned and shortened according to their strengtn, and whether number or magnitude of
flowers be wanted. Those sorts which throw up numerous suckers should be taken up everv three or four
years, reduced, and replanted ; and most sorts, excepting the standards, will be improved by the practice,
provided attention be paid to remove a part of the old soil, and replace it by new. The points of the shoots

of tne more delicate sorts of roses, are very apt to die when pruning is performed in winter or spring; to
avoid the consequences of this evil, many give a second pruning in June, or do not prune the tender sorts
at all till the beginning of that month. A very good time for performing the operation, is immediately alter
the bloom :sover; cutting out old exhausted wood, shortening shoots which have flowered to a good bud
accompanied with a healthy leaf, but leaving such shoots as are still in a growing state untouched till
October. Where very large roses are wanted, all the buds but that on the extreme point of each shoot
6hould be pinched oft" as soon as they make their appearance, and the plant liberally supplied with water. To
lessen evaporation, and keep up a constant moisture at the roots of their roses, the Pans gardeners generally
mulch them with half-rotten stable-dung, or partially rotten leaves.
The earliest flowering rose is the monthly, which, in mild seasons, and planted against a wall, will some-
times flower in the beginning of April ; the roses next in succession are the cinnamon, which flowers in Ma) ;
the damask in the end of Mayor beginning of June; the blush, York and Lancaster, Provins, and Dutch

they flower in September, and in shaded situations will sometimes continue in bloom till the middle of
October ; but the earliest rose (the monthly) is also the latest, and generally continues flowering t'.ll
interrupted by frost. The earliest sorts may be materially forwarded by being planted against a south wall ;
and if portable sashes are placed before them, and the wall is either flued and heated by fires, or a lining of
dung placed behind, the plants may be brought to flower in February or March. The monthly rose being

common mode of obtaining late roses, and one of the greatest antiquity, is by cutting all the flower snoots ofl
when the buds begin to appear, or by rubbing off all the rudiments of shoots, of every kind, early in spring;
a second crop is in consequence produced, which will not be in a state to bloom before the autumn.
The best roses for forcing are the common ami moss Provence; the Indian sorts force well, or rather, in

a state of rest, by excluding the sun and rain, but not a free circulation of air.
All the species of roses are very liable to the attacks of insects, especially of the aphides ; some, and
especially the briar and Scotch rose, are attacked by the Cynips rosa?, which, by puncturing the bark,
occasions the production of rose-galls, and of those mossy tufts often seen on wild roses, which were known
formerly under the name of Bedeguar, and used in medicine. Under cover tobacco smoke will prove an
effectual remedy for the aphides ; but the larva; of many others, and especially of tipulaand the tenthredinida?,
which occasion the wrapping up and shrivelling of the leaves, can only be removed by washing with lime-
water or hand picking.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
large fruit is the object, no suckers should be left at all : on the contrary, when the strongest suckers are
wanted, the fruit-bearing shoots should be cut down.
R. occidental is a showy plant for large shrubberies. The fruit of P.. caesius is blue, edible, and it con-
tinues till frost. R. corylifolius and fruticosus are both common in our hedges j the shoots of the latter
are much tougher than those of the former, and are preferred bv thatehers for binding their roofs, and by
Btraw.hive and mat makers. The berries, eaten at the moment they are ripe, are cooling and grateful ; a little
before, they are coarse and astringent ; and a little after, disagreeably flavored or putrid. They are sometimes
made into pies ; but great care is requisite in gathering the fruit, for one berry of the last sort will spoil a whole
pie. The double-flowering variety is considered verv ornamental.
The fruit of R. arcticus and chamamiorus is eaten in the north of Scotland and Sweden. In the latter
country, Dr. Clarke informs us, it is much prized in soups, sauces, and for making vinegar ; and Dr Clarke was
cured of a bilious fever by eating great quantities. The plant is rather difficult to preserve in gardens, but by
raising successive generations from the seed it might perhaps be subjected to the same culture as the cranberry.
The fruit of R. pauciflorus, the Nepal raspberry, is very agreeable.

the neighbourhood of Paris. Small plants, resembling the little species of Rubus.

ItaL This is a genus of fruit-bearing herbaceous plants, of which there are lew in the vegetable kingdom,
and none to equal the strawberry in w holesomeness and excellence. This fruit is universally grateful, alone, or
with sugar, cream or wine; and has the property, so valuable for acid stomachs, of not undergoing the acetous
fermentation. Resides the species or subspecies enumerated, there are upwards of sixty mongrel varieties 01
dillerent names, some of which, recently produced from seed, are of great excellence. The strawberry is not
only a valuable and easily cultivated out-door fruit, but forces well, and with a little trouble in choosing a suc-
cession of sorts, they may be had at the dessert every month in the year, though during the three H inter months
they are without flavor.
In cultivating the strawberrv an open situation and rich loamy soil, rather strong, it required lot
varieties; and from their large' mass of foliage ami dowers, they must, till the fru t is >ct, have copious sup-
plies of water. The row culture U) meat convenient, and frequent renewal insures vigorous plants and
fruit.

sist of nothing beyond a slight vulnerary quality. P. fruticosa and floribunda are shewy shrubs. P anserina
is remarkable for the silvery whiteness of its foliage, which is eaten by geese, as the roots were once by the
country people in some places. All the species are pretty, and deserving cultivation.
1154. Tormentilla. From tormina, the dysentery, which this plant was formerly employed for curing T
erecta was once a plant of some importance in oeconomy and medicine. The roots are still used in most of the
Western Isles of Scotland and in the Orkneys for tanning leather, for which they are superior even to oak-bark
They are first boiled in water, and the leather is then steeped in the cold liquor In the islands of Tirey and
Col, the inhabitants have destroyed so much ground by digging them up, that they have been prohibited the
use of them. They are also used for dying of a red color. And Mr. Young informs us, that many swine are
reared with them on the mountains of Killamey.
In the London Materia Medica it is employed in intermittents, and as a local application in the form of
gargle and lotion, in ulcerations of the tongue and mouth, against spongy gums, and as an application to fetid
ill conditioned sores ; but it is seldom used. (London Dispensatory, 5:i8.)
1155. Geum. From ytuu, to taste well. The roots of G. urbanum have a mildlv astringent aromatic taste,
somewhat like that of cloves, whence this plant has the name of Caryophyllata. They should be gathered in
dry warm situations, for in shady moist places they have little virtue. Gathered in the spring, and put fresh
into ale, they give it a pleasant flavor, and prevent its turning sour. Infused in wine, it is esteemed a good

stomachic ; but in water, Haller affirms it to have been attended with bad effects, when given in malignant
levers, producing delirium. Chewed in the mouth, the roots take oft' from a disagreeable breath,
1156. Kerria. So named after Mr. William Ker, a botanical collector, who was sent some years since to China,
whence he sent many curious plants. The plant named after him is the common Corchorus japonica of the
gardens.
1157. Calycanthus. From **Xt/{, and it.V, a flower ; the calyx being colored and similar to petals, which
are not present in the genus. Small North American shrubs, w'ith chocolate-colored blossoms. The flowers
of C. floridus have an agreeable scent like those of allspice, and is so called in Carolina.
1158. Chimonanthus. From ru/bun, winter, and «>.>o?, a flower, in allusion to the period of the year when
its blossoms are produced. C. fragrans is highly odoriferous, and though hardy, deserves a place in. the front
border of a conservatory, on account of the odor it disperses early in spring.
1159. Dryas. A name poetically applied to this little plant, from the resemblance of its leaves to those of the
oak, which was sacred to the Dryads. This is a delicate evergreen plant, and with Its snow-white blossoms is
a great ornament to alpine heights. The stalk and branches arc woody and |>crcni)ial, lying flat upon the
ground, and spreading wide about the root in tufts.
It requires some care to preserve it in gardens, and grows liettcr in a shaded bed of |M-at than in pots,

Class XIII. — POLYANDRIA.
Stamens many, hypogynous, or inserted under tlie
Ovary.
This class agrees with the last in having hermaphrodite flowers, with an indefinite number of stamens,
which neither cohere in any part of their length, nor are distributed in distinct parcels ; but it is distinguished
by the stamens being inserted distinctly from the floral envelopes, immediately under the ovary, into what lias
been called the receptacle by I.inna?us and his followers ; torus, by Mr. Salisbury ; and thalamus, by some other
botanists. The class consists of the greater part of several extensive natural orders, such as Ranunculacea-,
Magnohacea?, Cistinea?, &c. ; and, like the last, is replete with subjects of interest to gardeners and floris s
The various kinds of Clematis form the most valuable portion of the hardy climbing plants of the veranda!)
The brilliant varieties of the ranunculus and anemone constitute the most attractive part of the flower garde. i.
Pa?onia, well known for the richness of its coloring, and the robusiness of its constitution, is the ornament of
every cottage ; and the noble varieties of Magnolia, the pride of the North American forest, are the finest
exotics of the shrubbery. Nymphsea and Nelumbium are beautiful genera of aquatic plants. Annona, or the
custard apple, is one of the most important of the fruit trees of tropical countries ; and the celebrated water
vine of Sierra Leone is a species of Tetracera. Nor must Sarracenia, with its curious pitcher-like leaves ;
Papaver, from which opium is extvacted; Cimicifuga, whence is obtained the antidote to the dangerous bite of
the rattle-snake ; Bixa, or the amotta tree, from the fruit of which the coloring matter for the red cheese of
England is procured ; nor Hepatica, with its modest beauties, be omitted.
The commencement of M. Decandolle's laborious Systema Vegetabilium has included nearly every thing
contained in the class, and is followed in the discrimination of the species, as being the best authority which
can be taken.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1162. Capparis. From its Arabic name Kabar, from which the Greeks made zan-rapt. Caprier, Fr.,
Capriolo, ItaL and Kapernstrauch, Ger. This is a genus of low shrubs, some of which produce berries and
others pods. C. spinosa has the habit of the common bramble ; it grows in similar situations in the south of
Europe, and especially on rocks and ruins. The chief supply of caper buds is from Sicily; but the plant is
cultivated in the neighbourhood of Toulon in orchards, in the intervals between fig and olive trees, and in
the neighbourhood of Paris, where it is trained on low walls, and the shoots during winter laid down and
covered with soil to protect them from the frost. In this country it is generally treated as a stove plant ;
though it has stood the winter in the open air in some situations, and by raising from the seed for several
generations might probably be naturalized. A plant stood near a century against the wall of the garden of
Camden House, Kensington ; it produced many flowers annually, though the young shoots were frequently
killed to the stump during winter.
As a pickle, the flower buds of the caper are in great esteem throughout Europe. In Italy, the unripe
fruit is prepared in the same way as the flower buds ; both are highly acrid and burning to the taste. In
the isles of the Mediterranean, and near Toulon, the flower buds of the caper are gathered just before they
begin to expand, which forms a daily occupation during six months, when the plants are in a flowering state.
As the buds are gathered they are thrown into a cask among as much salt and vinegar as is sufficient to cover

sub-parasitical creeping shrub: at first it is rail leant like some ferns, but as it advances, the Mem becomes
shrubby, adhering still hy its fibres to the trunk of some tree, to the top of which it frequently runs, at length
dividing into several subdivided loose pendulous branches, commonly terminated by flowering umliels. It is
frequent in the cool wooded mountains of Jamaica, and, according to Browne, appears in such various form-,
that it has been mistaken for different plants in the different stages of iU growth. It grows freely in British
stoves, ami cuttings root in sand under a glass. The genus is remarkable for the transformation of |>art of the
bractcae into listular bodies, resembling the pitchers of some other plants.

1164 Aetata. Axtvi was the Greek name of the elder, which this plant resembles in foliage and fruit.
Weed-like plants seldom seen in gardens. The berries of A. spicata are poisonous, and with alum yield a
black dye. The tubers of A. racemosa are called snake root, and much used in North America by self-
practitioners, and as an antidote against poison and the bite of 'he rattle snake.
1165. Sanguinaria. From sanguis, blood. AU parts of the plant on being wounded discharge a blood-
colored fluid. This is a singular and very delicate looking plant. It has a tuberous fleshy root with red
fibres and a reddish juice : from each bud of the root there springs only a single fig-like glaucous leaf, with a
one-flowered scape ; the flower has no smell, and is very fugacious. It abounds in the woods of Canada, and
in the back settlements, where the Indians stain themselves with its red juice.
1166. Podjip/iyllum. From tkj o-oSo;, a foot, and <pu\\ov, a leaf; in allusion to the long firm stalk on which the
leaves are placed. Low neat herbaceous plants, with white flowers hidden by the overshadowing broad leaves.
1167. Chelidonium. From xsX<Sw, the swallow, because it was thought to flower with the arrival of that
bird, and to perish with its departure. The English word celandine appears to be a corruption of
chelidonium. The juice of C. majus is of an orange color and very acrimonious. It cures tetters and
ringworms. Diluted with milk it consumes white opake spots on the eyes. It destroys warts, and cures the
itch. There is no doubt but a medicine of such activity will one day be converted to more important pur-
poses. {Withering.) The root, according to Loureiro, is extremely bitter, and greatly esteemed among the
natives of Cochin-China, for a variety of uses in medicine.
1168. Romeria. Named after J. J. Romer, professor of botany at Landshut, and the collaborator of
Schultz in an edition of the Species Plantarum of Willdenow. He died in 1820. A genus intermediate
between Chelidonium, Glaucium, and Papaver.
1169. Glaucium. All the parts of the species appear covered with a glaucous bloom. Handsome sea-coast
plants. G. luteum has large and numerous flowers, which, although of short duration, succeed one another
in great abundance during most part of the summer, make a fine contrast with the sea-green dew-bespangled
leaves, and are a great ornament to our sandy shores. The whole plant abounds in a yellow juice, is foetid, and
of a poisonous quality, and said to occasion madness. •
1170. Papaver. Said by De Theis to have been so called from the Celtic papa, which signifies pop, or the
soft food given to children, in which the seeds were formerly boiled to make the infants sleep. Opium is
derived from vsros, juice ; it is supposed to have been the Nepenthes of Homer. Rhceas, the name of one of
the species, is from pea/, to flow or fall, in allusion to the quickly perishable nature of the flowers. The poppy
produces a great quantity of seeds, for which reason Cybele, the mother of the gods, is represented crowned
with poppy-heads as a symbol of fecundity.
The species of this genus are all shewy, with large, brilliant, but fugacious flowers. They are all easy of
culture in almost any soil ; and one species affords that singular medicine opium. P. Rhceas is one of the
commonest weeds among corn on gravelly soils ; but in its double and semidouble variegated varieties, it is
also one of the handsomest of garden annuals. The capsules, as in P. somniferum, contain a milky juice of a
narcotic quality: an extract from them has been successfully employed as a sedative; and some foreign
practitioners are said to prefer this extract to opium.
P. somniferum, although it is found growing wild in the southern parts of Europe, and even in England, yet
there is every reason for thinking that its seed must have been carried to these parts from Asia. It was very
early cultivated in Greece, perhaps at first solely for the sake of its seed, which was used as food. It is
extensively cultivated in most of the states of Europe in the present age, not only on account of the opium.

for which it is reared in Turkey, Persia, and India, but also on account of the capsules, and of tne bland oil
obtained from the seeds. All the parts of the poppy contain a white, opaque, narcotic juice ; but it abounds
mure iii the capsules: hence these are the only othcinal parts of the plant, and for them chiefly is the plant
cultivated in this country. They are gathered as they ripen ; and as this happens at diltcrent times, there arc
annually three or four gatherings. They are brought to market in bags, each containing about 3(KMi capsules,
and sold to the druggists. The I^ondon market is chiefly supplied from Mitchara in Surrey.
The milky juice of the poppy, in its more perfect state, which is the case' in warm climates only, is extracted
bv incisions made in the capsules, and inspissated; and m this state forms the opium of commerce The
mode of obtain ng it appears to have been nearly the same in the time of Dioscoridcs as is at this day
I The plants, during their growth, are Carefully watered and manured, the watering being more
pr.itn.~e as the period of flowering approaches, and until the capsules are half grown, when it is discontinued,
and the collection of the opium commences At sunset, longitudinal incisions are made upon each half-ripe
capsule, passing from below upwards and not penetrating to the internal cavity. The night dews favor the
exudation of the juice, which is collected in the morning by women and children, who scrape it from oil' the
wounds with a small iron scoop, and deposit the whole in an earthen pot, where it is worked by wooden
s|«itoles in the sunshine, until it attains a considerable degree of thickness;. It is then formed by the hand
into i .ikes, winch are laid in earthen basins to be further exsiccated, when it is covered over with poppy or
0 leaves Such is the mode followed in India, and according to Kainpfer's account, nearly the same is
practised in Persia ; and when the juice is drawn in a similar manner in this country and inspissated, it has .ill
the characteis Of pure opium.
Opium is brought to this country in chests from Turkey and India. The Turkey opium is in flat pieces,
covered with leaves East Indian opium is in round musses, covered with the petals of the |>oppy in successive
layers, to the thickness nearly of one-fourth of an inch. Mr. Kerr relates, that at 15.ih.ir, it" is frequently
adulterated with cow-dung, the extract of the poppy procured by boiling, and various Other substance-. In
Malava it is mixed with oil of Stssmum, v. Inch is often one half of the mast ; ashes and the dried leaves of
the plant are also used It is also adulterated with the aqueous extract of the ( apsides, the extracts of
Chclidonium glaucum, Lactuca virosa, and Glycyrrh sa glabra, and sometimes with gum arabic, tragacanth,
aloes, and many other artu
Poppy heads or capsules possess r.nodync properties , they are chiefly employed, boiled in water, H fomenta-
tions to inflamed and ulcerated surfaces ; and a syrup, prepared with the inspissated decoction, Is used as an
anodyne for children, and to allay the tickling rough in chronic catarrh and phthisis.
Opium operates as a powerful and very diffusible stimulus, but its primary operation is followed by narcotic

of ardent spirits, supervene. In very large doses the primary excitement is scarcely apparent, but the pulse
seems to be at once diminished, drowsiness and stupor immediately come on, and are followed by delirium,
sighing, deep and stertorous breathing, cold sweats, convulsions, apoplexy, and death. The appearances on
dissection are those which indicate the previous existence of violent inflammation of the stomach and bowels ;
but notwithstanding the symptoms of apoplexy which an overdose, when it proves fatal, occasions, no particular
appearance of an inflammatory state or fulness of the vessels of the brain are perceived.
The Turks call opium afloni ; and in the teriakihana, or opium shops of Constantinople, they take it in
graduated doses from ten grains to one hundred grains in a day. It is mixed with rich syrup and the
inspissated juices of fruit, to render it more palatable and less intoxicating ; and is taken with a spoon, or
made up into small lozenges stamped with the words, Mash Allah, literally, " The work of God." The
Tartar couriers, who travel great distances, and with astonishing rapidity, take nothing else to support them
during their journeys. (Dallaway's Constantinople, quarto, 78.) There is, however, some reason for suppos-
ing that the Mash Allah, or Maslach of the Turks, contains other narcotics, as those of hemp and of lolium,
as well as opium.
The use of opium for the purpose of exhilarating the spirits has long been known in Turkey, Syria, and
China; and of late years it has been unfortunately adopted by many, particularly females, in this country.
Russell says, that in Syria, u hen combined with spices and aromatics, he has known it taken to the amount of
three drachms in twenty-four hours. Its habitual use cannot be too much reprobated. It impairs the
digestive organs, consequently the vigour of the whole body, and destroys also gradually the mental energies.
The effects of opium on those addicted to its use, savs Russell, are at first obstinate costiveness, succeeded by
diarrhoea and flatulence, with the loss of appetite and a sottish appearance The memories of those who take
it soon fail, they become prematurely old, and then sink into the grave, objects of scorn and pity. Mustapha
Shatoor, an opium cater in Smyrna, took daily three drachms of crude opium. The visible effects at the
time, were the sparkling of his eyes, and great exhilaration of spirits. He found the desire of increasing his
dose growing upon him. He seemed twenty years older than he reallv was ; his complexion was verv sallow,
his legs small, his gums eaten away, and the teeth laid bare to the sockets. He could not rise without first
swallowing half a drachm of opium. (Phil. Trans, xix. 289.)
When opium has been taken in an overdose, the first thine, to be done for counteracting its bad effect, is the
exhibition of a powerful emetic ; and for this purpose sulphate of zinc, or sulphate of copper dissolved in
water, should be immediately swallowed, and the vomiting kept up for a considerable time, and urged bv
irritation of the fauces. Large draughts of vinegar and water, or other acidulated fluids, should afterwards
be frequently taken ; and the powers of the habit supported by brandy, coffee, and cordials. The sufferer
should be kept awake, and, if possible, in continued gentle motion. Currie recommends the affusion of
warm water at 106 degrees or 108 degrees for removing the drowsiness. (London Dispensatory, 426.)
Medical men have of late sought to discover the sedative principle of opium, and have found it in the
extractive, from which a crystallized salt called morphia is obtained. Some foreign physicians, and Mr.

Thomson, the author of The London Dispensatory, have found that a quarter of a grain of the acetate of
morphia produces the most beneficial effects that can be expected from an anodyne, allaying pain, and pro-
curing sleep without in any degree affecting the central functions. {London Dispensatory, 420.)
A variety of P. somniferum, known as the black poppy, from the color of its seeds, is cultivated for these to
some extent ; they are called maw seed, and generally stained of a light blue color.
P. Rhceas {aHltette, Fr.) and also somniferum are cultivated in Flanders and Germany for their seeds, which
are bruised for an oil used in cookery as a substitute for that of olives. In Poland and some parts of Russia,
the seeds are used as a seasoning to soups, gruels, and porridge.
Professor Martyn, in his edition of Miller's Dictionary, has collected a body of facts, which clearly prove
that opium may be produced to any extent in Britain, and of equal quality to that procured from abroad ;
the value o( labor in this country, however, docs not admit of such a thing. We have seen samples of opium
made in the south of England quite equal to that of foreign growth, but we understood that the labor of
collecting it was greater than could be afforded for its market price.
P. cambricum is admired for its yellow petals, and orientate and bractcatum are very splendid plants.
1171 MecamoptU. From u^.i, a poppy, and <r\i{, resemblance. A genus of herbaceous shade-loving
plants, just intermediate between Papaver and Argemone. The flowers are yellow.
117-'. Argemone, Prom argema, the name by which the cataract of the eye was known, and which Was
thought to be cured by this plant A. mexicana is a troublesome weed in the West Indies, with a lig-like
fruit, armed with prickles, and thence, by the Spaniards, called Figo del inferno. The whole plant abounds
with a milky glutinous juice, winch turns in the air to a fine bright yellow, and w lien reduced to consistence is
not distinguishable from gamboge. In very small doses it s probably of equal efficacy, given in dropsies,
Jaundice, and cutaneous eruptions. It is esteemed very detersive, and generally used in diseases of the eyes :
hut the infusion is looked upon as a sudorific and resolutive, which may be used with success on many
occasii ns. Tin seeds are said to be a much stronger narcotic than opium.
117J. Sariacciiia. So named by Tourncl'ort in honor of Dr. Sarrazin, a French physician of rank residing
in Quebec, who sent this genus to him from Canada : it Is called side-saddle flower from the resemblance of
the stigma to a woman's pillion. These plants are remarkable for the singular form Of the loaves, which are
tubular and hold water, anil some species have lids or covers, which it is alleged shrink and close over the
mouth of the tribe in dry weather, so as to prevent the exhalation of the water. In (.Teat drought birds and

four in the afternoon. The roots have an astringent bitter taste ; they are used in Ireland, in the Highlands
of Scotland, in the island of Jura, &c. to dye a dark brown or che^nut color. Swine are said to eat it, goats
mit to be fond of it, kine and horses to refuse it. The flowers, the herb, and the root were formerly used in
medicine, but are all now obsolete.
N. lotus resembles our common white species very much in the form of the flower and leaves, but the latter
arc toothed about the edge. It is native of the hot parts of the East Indies, Africa, and America. It is very
common in ponds, lakes, and rivers in Jamaica ; and grows in vast quantities in the plains of Lower Egypt
near Cairo, during the time they are under water. It flowers there about the middle of September, and ripens
towards the end of October. The Arabians call it Nuphar. The ancient Egyptians made a bread of the seed
of the Lotus dried and ground.
All the species grow well in large pots of water with a few inches of rich soil at the bottom : they are pro-
pagated by dividing the root, and some sorts which produce bulbs are increased by offsets from these. Mr.
Kent, of Clapton, who cultivated exotic aquatics to great perfection, found that the bulbous rooted Nymphseas,
if checked in their growth for want of water, from cold, or excessive heat, were apt to form bulbs at the roots
and cease growing for the season. Hence the necessity of a regular and powerful moist heat to make them
flower freely.
1175. Limn chari.i. From Xiiass, a marsh, and xa?'?> dear, so calle.l because the species are marsh plants.
They have beautiful umbels of yellow flowers, and are very easily cultivated in a stove. They are increased
by seerls.
1176. Nuphar. The Arabic name is naitfar, according to Forskahl. The species are shewy plants closely
resembling Nympha?a. N. lutea is a native of most parts of Europe, and also of America. Linmeus states,
that swine are fond both of the leaves and root ; that goats are not fond of it ; and that kine, sheep, and horses
refuse it : also that crickets are driven out of houses by the smoke in burning it, and that both they and
cock-roaches are destroyed by the roots rubbed or bruised with milk. Ray observes, that the flowers smell
like brandy.
1177. Euryale. From vj^jo.\o;, broad, in allusion to the enormous broad floating leaves of the plant. A
noble aquatic, easily cultivated in a good stove.
1178 Biza. The American name of the tree. The drug called Terra Orellana, or Orleana, Roucon or
Arnotto, is prepared from the red pulp which covers the seeds of this plant. Bv maceration in hot water,
the seeds are separated from the pulp, the latter is then made into balls or cakes, which when dry are fit fur
use Arnotto of a good quality is of the color of fire, bright within, soft to the touch, and dissolves entirely in
water. It is reputed to be cooling and cordial, and is much used by the Spaniards in their chocolate and
souui, both to heighten the flavor and to give them an agreeable color. It is esteemed good in bloo.lv duxes

and disorders of the kidnies. Mixed with lemon-juice and a gum, it makes the crimson paint with which
the Indians adorn their persons. It was formerly used by dyers to form the color called aurora; but at
present it is not held in much estimation as a dye, though it still maintains its ground with painters. Arnotto
is well known to be the drug which is used for dying cheese in Gloucestershire, under the name of cheese-
coloring. It is used in Holland for coloring their butter. The bark makes good ropes for the common
plantation uses in the West Indies; and pieces of the wood are used by the Indians to procure fire by
friction.
1179. Prockia. A name of unknown meaning. American or Isle of France plants with alternate entire or
toothed leaves, and yellow flowers, which are occasionally unisexual.
1180. Sloanea. Named by Plumier, in memory of the famous Sir Hans Sloane, Bart, physician to the king,
and president to the Royal Society ; author of the Natural History of Jamaica, and founder of Chelsea
garden and hospital. The leaves are like those of the chesnut; the flowers very large, and the fruit as big as
a tennis ball, armed all over with strong spines, and divided regularly into lour cells, each containing one small
chesnut. It grows freely in our stoves, and ripened cuttings root in sand under a hand.glass.
1181. Apeiba. The vernacular name of the plant in Guiana. Tibourbou and Petoumo are vernaculai
names among the Caribs. The species grow freely in light loamy soil. Cuttings must be well ripened, and
the glass they are put under should have a little air given it occasionally, or they will damp oil! The best way
of flowering it, is to cut a ring round the bark of a large branch, which stagnates it and throws it into flower.
[Mat. Cult, so.)
H8S. SjMirmannia. In memory of Anders or Andrew Sparrman, a Swede, fellow of the Academy of
Sciences at Stockholm, who travelled into China, the Ca[>e of Good Hope, and the islands of the South Sea.
His travels were published in London, 1785, quarto, and there are many descriptions by him in the Philoso-
phical and other transactions. It is a beautiful shrub with snowy white petals, and singular nectaries. It
grows (reel* in loam and peat, and cuttings root in sand under a hand-glass.
1183. h'.ntilra. From or*/.?;, perfect. So named by Mr. Brown, because all its filaments are fertile; by
which character, among others, it is distinguished from Sparmannia. A line New Zealand plant, discovered
originally by the botanists with Sir Joseph Banks in Cook's second voyage.

in liis.'. Calabura is an American name. The flowers resemble those of the bramble, and the fruit cherries
It grows in Jamaica on calcareous subalpine hills, flowering in spring ; and in St. Domingo in the wet parts of
woods, Dowering in August and September. In our stoves it grows freely in light loam, and cuttings root in
sand under a hand-glass.

1185. Grewia. So named by Linnaeus, in honor of Nehemiah Grew, M. D , F. R. S., famous for his work on
the Anatomy of Vegetables. The species are shrubs with elm-looking leaves, generally deciduous, and ol
no great beauty. Cuttings root in sand under a hand-glass in heat. Some of the kinds produce a sort 01
berry which is esteemed by the natives of the country where they grow.
1186. Tilia. A name the meaning of which is unexplained. Tilleul, Fr., Linden, Ger., and Tiglio, Ital
The species are graceful trees with highly odoriferous flowers, all the soft parts abounding in mucilage.
T. intermedia is wild in Sweden, and will in some degree bear the smoke of London. It is a favorite
avenue tree in Holland and Germany, and at Evelyn's suggestions (Sylva) was a good deal employed in
this way in England. He describes some enormous lime trees in Switzerland, Germany, and Hungary, and
speaks of its esteem in these countries, and by the Romans. " It is a shameful negligence," he says," that
we are no better provided of nurseries, for a tree so choice and universally acceptable:" for in his time they
sent into Holland and Flanders, to our excessive cost, whilst our own woods spontaneously produce
them, and though of somewhat a smaller leaf, yet altogether as good, apt to be civilized, and made more
florid.
Lime-tree wood is turned into light bowls and dishes, and into boxes for the apothecaries. With the twigs
they make baskets and cradles. Formerly the bark was used for writing tablets. Shoemakers make dressers
of the plank to cut leather on. The truncheons make a far better coal for gunpowder than that of alder
itself, and also scriblets for painters' first draughts. The wood is soft, light, and smooth, close grained, and
not subject to the worm. The most elegant use to which it is applied is for carving. Many of Gibbon's
beautiful works in lime-tree are dispersed about the kingdom in our churches and palaces ; as in the choir of
St. Paul's, the Duke of Devonshire's at Chatsworth. Trinity College Library at Cambridge, &c. Evelyn first
recommended him to King Charles II. The sap inspissated affords a quantity of sugar. Boutcher remarks,
that the timber is stronger and lighter than any sort of willow ; and makes a proper lining for rooms, and when
painted will last long.
In Lincolnshire, in the forest of Dean, and in various parts of the borders of South Wales they make
ropes of the bark. This, by maceration, separates into thin rough layers, and is used for making the mats
used by gardeners, and tailed in the north of Europe bast. They form a considerable part of the exnorts
from Russia. This quality in the bark, and a great degrte of viscidity in the whole tree, evince its acknow-
ledged affinity to the mallow tribe.

The honey made from the flowers of the lime tree is reckoned the finest in the world. Near Kowno in
Lithuania, there are large forests chiefly of this tree, and probably a distinct variety or species. The honey
produced in these forests sells at more than double the price of any other, and is used exclusively in medicine
and for mixing with liqueurs. (Eneyc. of Agric. ; Poland and Hungary.)
1187. Corchorus. Ko^o'o,-, the Greek name of a culinary vegetable, supposed to be the same as that now
known as C. olitorius. C. "olitorius is sown in great plenty about Aleppo as a ix>t herb, the Jews boiling the
leaves to eat with their meat, whence in French it is called Mauve-de-Juif. The other species are weeds.
1188. Griat. From v»*». to eat. The fruit is eaten in the West Indies under the name of the Anchovy
pear. The uprightness of the growth and the largeness of the leaves give this tree a very elegant appearance.
The fruit is about the sire of an alligator's egg, and much like it in shape, only a little more acute at one end,
and of a brown russet color. Il is frequent in many parts of Jamaica, and grows generally in low moist
bottoms or shallow water, where the fruit is pickled and eaten in the same manner with the East Indian
mango, which it exactly resembles in taste. It grows in a loamy soil, and large cuttings, Sweet observe.-,
succeed best in the same soil under a band-glass in neat.

leaves, ('. Inophyllum (if »«r, fibre, because the middle nerve of the leaf seems to ramify into a multitude of
is a very large tree, with leaves like a water lilly, snow-white fragrant flowers, and fruit like a walnut.
The trunk when wounded exudes a viscid yellowish juice, frequently hardening to a gum. It is common in
Malabar, in sandy soils, and bears fruit twice a year, in March and September, frequently to the age ol three
hundred years. An oil is expressed from the nuts to burn in lamps, to assuage pains, and to make ointments.
The bark and gum is also used for medical purposes. In Java, &c. they plant this tree about their house-,
for the elegance of the shade and the sweetness of the flowers.
C (a I aba (the name among the Caribs) branches from the ground upwards, and is therefore well adapted
for tree hedges. It has a greer. fruit not unlike our cornelian cherry, which is eaten by the native-, and an
oil is expressed from it for lamps. Both species grow freely in a light loamy soil, and ripe cuttings arc readily

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
of Magnolia grandiflora, and odoriferous white flowers on peduncles. The fruit is roundish, with a leathery
rind, inclosing one thinner, containing a firm bright yellow pulp, having a pleasant singular taste, and a sweet
aromatic smell ; but the skin and seeds are very bitter and resinous. It is eaten raw alone, or cut in slices
with wine or sugar, or preserved in sugar. In Martinico they distil the flowers with spirit, and make a liquor
which they call Eau Creole.
Some horticulturists are now attempting its culture in our stoves as a fruit tree. It grows freely in sandy
loam, and ripened cuttings, with the leaves not shortened, root in sand under a hand-glass in heat. (Sweet.)
1191. Ochna. The Greek name of the wild pear tree, to which the genus so distinguished by Linnaeus
has no kind of resemblance. The species are pretty free-flowering plants, with shining serrated leaves, and
long racemes of beautiful yellow flowers. They grow freely in loam and peat, and cuttings root readily in
sand under a hand-glass.
1192. El&ocarpus. From iXaia, the olive, and xu°iffos, fruit, in allusion to the shape of its fruit. The
stones cleaned from the pulp, and set in gold, are formed into necklaces. The species thrive in loam and peat,
and cuttings root in sand under a hand-glass.
1193. Alaneium. So denominated by Lamarck, from a slight alteration of one of its Malabar names, Alangi.
It grows in light sandy soil, and cuttings root in sand under a hand-glass in moist heat. (Sweet.)
1194. Mentzelia. Named after Christian Mentzel, a Prussian, physician to the Elector of Brandenburg ; he
died in 1701. Curious plants related to Loasa.
1195. Lagersticemia. So named by Linnauis from Magnus Lagerstroem, of Gottenburgh, director of the
Swedish East India Company, who procured many curiosities from China, and gave them to the public. L.
regina; is a very handsome shrub : the flowers are in panicles, a span long, pale rose-colored in the morning,
growing deeper through the day, and becoming purple in the evening. According to Sweet, this species
is rather difficult to preserve through the winter; it requires a good heat, and but little water in winter;
if it happens to have too much wet, it is a great chance if it survives : in summer it grows very fast, and
requires plenty of room and water. Cuttings of both kinds root readily in sand, under a hand-glass. (Hut.
Cult. 73.)
1196. JEgle. AiyA.ii was one of the Hesperides. Correa de Serra named the genus TEgle from the fruit
having some resemblance to the orange. Sweet observes, that this plant likes a rich loamy soil. The wood

requires to be ripened before the cuttings are taken off; then to be planted in a pot of sand without shorten,

11!>7. Cistus. KierTti, in Greek ; derived from xirv, a box, or capsule. The capsules of the genus are
remarkable. All these words have been formed from the Anglo Saxon, cyst, which signifies a hollow veaw I
The species are for the most part shewy and free-flowering plants ; the colors brilliant, and the petals very
fugacious. In gardens they are rather difficult to keep in a neat shape, getting naked lielow, and often dying
v holly or in part during severe winters. They succeed best in glass cases, which can be entirely removed in
summer, or in a dry soil under a warm wall.
C. villosus has a strong woody stem, the flowers are produced at the ends of the branches, four or five
together, almost in form of an umbel, but it rarely happens that more than one is open at the same time. The
l>etals are large, purple, and spread open like a rose ; they are but of short duration, generally falling off the
same day they expand ; but there is a succession of fresh flowers every day for a considerable time in May
and June; generally again in September and October, if the autumn be favorable, and even in the winter if
the plants be protected from frosts.
C ledon and ladaniferus produce the gum ladanum, but not in such quantities as C. creticus. The resin,
which is secreted from the leaves and other parts of the shrub, is scraped off by means of ■ kind Ol
rake, |o which numerous leathern thongs are appended instead of teeth. This instrument lieing drawn
backwards and forwards over the plant from time to time, collects the resin. The chief life of this gum in
modern practice is in fumigations, its fragrant smell having made it a constant ingredient in such prepar-
ations. ('. 1 uianiferus is the most popular species for warm situations in ornamental scenery.
" Most of the species," Sweet observes, " will survive through the winter in the open air, if the weather
Ik- not too severe ; but it is safest to keep some of all the kinds in pots, that they may be sheltered from
frosts; and they can be turned out in the borders in spring, When they will thrive and flower well Tiny
will succeed in any common soil, or a mixture of loam and peat will suit them very well They may bo
increased by layers , or young cuttings, as soon as ripened, taken off at a joint, and planted under I hand
gla.s, will root readilv ; they may be also raised from seeds, which are produced in abundance." It

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1198 Helianthemum. From yXies, the sun, and avSos, flower, in allusion to the bright golden radiance of
the blossoms. This is a shewy free-flowering genus of little trailing plants, mostly ligneous, and well adapted
for rock-work. A number of them answer best kept in pots, and sheltered by frames during winter ; but
some are quite hardy, and none are more ornamental than the H. vulgare, and its varieties with orange,
yellow straw-colored, red, and double flowers. It is one of the handsomest plants in cultivation for rock-
vvork ' All the species are of easy culture in light soil, and cuttings root freely under a hand-glass.
1199 Bauera. Named after Francis and Ferdinand Bauer, German botanical draughtsmen ot the highest

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1201. Curatella. From curatus, worked ; a name given by Aublet to the genus, because the leaves, which
have a rough surface, are used in Guyana for polishing bows, sabres, and other weapons. A small tree with
rough leaves, which grows well in sandy loam ; cuttings root in sand under a glass.
1202. Pteonia. The physician Pa?on was the first to use this in medicine The Greek legend adds, that he
used it to cure Pluto of a wound inflicted by Hercules. The species are magnificent flowering plants,
especially P. officinalis and moutan, with their numerous varieties. P. moutan and its different varieties are
hardy enough to bear our winters in the open air ; but they do not flower in such perfection as when planted
out in a conservatory, or in a pit where they may be protected from the severe frost under glass : they will
thrive well in any rich light soil ; and ripened cuttings, slipped off, and planted in the ground, in a shady
place, without cover, will root freely. {Bot. Cult. 234.)
P. edulis has a more slender stem than the common Paeony. The Daurians and Mongols boil the root in

Linnaeus says, that it is fatal to kine and goats, especially when they come fresh to it, and are not acquainted
with the plant ; but that it does no injury to horses, who eat it only when dry. He also relates ( rom the
Stockholm Acts) that an ignorant surgeon prescribed the leaves, and on the patent refusing to take them, tie
took them himself and died. The ancients, who were acquainted with chemical poisons, regarded the
Aconite as the most violent of all poisons Sonic persons, only by taking in the effluvia oj the •hero in lull

But the root is unquestionably the most powerful part of the plant. Matthiolus relates, that a criminal was
put to death by taking one dram of it Dodonams gives us an instance, recent in his time, of five persons . t
Antwerp, who ate the root by mistake, and all died. Dr. Turner also mentions, that some Frenchmen at t he-
same place, eating the shoots of this plant for those of masterwort, all died in the course of two days, ex> cpt
two players, who quickly evacuated all that they had taken by vomit We have an account, in the
Philosophical Transactions, of a man who was poisoned, in the year 1732, by eating some of this plant in a
salad, instead of celery. Or. Willis also, in his work De Anima Brutorum, gives an instance of a man « ho
died in a few hours, by eating the tender leaves of this plant also in a salad. He was seised with all the
symptoms of mania. The Aconite, thus invested with terrors, has, however, been so far subdued, as to become
a powerful remedy in some of the most troublesome disorders incident to the human frame. Baron Stoerck
led the way by administering it in violent pains of the side and joints, in glandulous scirrhi, tumours, ulcerous
tubercles of the breast, &c. to the quantity of from ten to thirty grains in a dose, of an extract, the method of
making which he describes.
Willdenow and the Dublin College consider that the plant used by Stoerck was the A. neomontanum, in
which opinion Mr. Thomson agrees in his London Dispensatory.
All the species are poisonous in a high degree. The limits of the species are extremely obscure, and in a
very unsettled state; Decandolle in his Systema, increased the number at that time known, but in his
Prodromus many of the species of the Systema are considered mere varieties. Dr. Keichenbach has, however,
multiplied the species prodigiously, but with little reason.
12<>r>. Trachytella. From rfaxvrni, roughness. These are climbing shrubs with racemose white flowers,
and hard rough leaves, which arc used in China lor polishing metals and hard wood.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1207. Cimicifuga. From cimex, a bug, and fugo, to drive away, indicating certain virtues a species i»
lupposed to posses*. The C. serpentaria is used with success by the native practitioners in North America,
for curing the dangerous bite of the rattlesnake. Tall, leafy herbaceous plants, with the appearance of
Actaca.
1208. Aquilegia. From aquila, an eagle ; the inverted spurs of the flower have been likened to the talons of a
bird of prey. The species are smooth-leaved, handsome-flowered plants. A. vulgaris is an old inhabitant of
the flower border: the whole plant has been recommended to be used medicinally, but it belongs to a suspi-
cious natural order, and Linnaeus affirms, that children have lost their lives by it. A. alpina is the hand-
somest species.
1209. Nigetla. From niger, black, because of the color of the seeds, which are the part of the plant known in
cookery. The species are curious or neat little plants, with fine cut leaves like fennel. N. damascena and
s.ttiva are sown as hardy annual flowers ; and on the continent, the leaves and seeds of the latter species and
N. arvensis, are used in cookery instead of more expensive aromatics. They are also said to be extensively
used in the adulteration of pepper.
1210. Reaumuria. So named by Hasselquist, in honor of Rene A. F. de Reaumur, author of several
entomological works; Histoire des Insectes, &c. He died in 1757. A small cssious plant, bearing an
ibundance of bright lilac flowers.
1211. Colbertia. Named by Mr. Salisbury after the famous Colbert, a patron of the Paris garden, who
destroyed with his own hands the vines which had been planted therein in lieu of more curious objects. A fine
plant, with leaves like those of Dillenia speciosa.
1212. Tetracera. From rer^a, four, and xieas, a horn, because of its four capsules recurved like as many
horns. Shrubs or small trees, which are often climbers with alternate stalked naked leaves, often rough above.
The flowers are panicled or racemose. The leaves are remarkable as an exemplification of that mode of
nervation which M. Decandolle calls feather-nerving.
I'llo. Nelumbium. This is called in Ceylon Nelumbo. Sir James Smith proposed to call the genus by the
more classical name of Cyamus, but it has been remarked, that it remains to be proved that the holy xuxpio;,
was this plant. N. speciosum is a native both of the East and West Indies, China, Cochin-China, and Japan,

Persia, and some parts of the Russian empire. Thunl>erg informs us, that it is considered as a sacred plant in
Jap in, and pleasing to their deities, and that the images of their idols were often drawn sitting on its large
leaves. The long stalks arc there eaten among other ]>otherbs. Loureiro relates, that it abounds in muddy
marshes in India and China, and it cultivated in I. irge handsome pots in the gardens and houses of the
mandarins; that there is a variety with the flower of a pure white, and another with a very beautiful
luxuriant flower, having about one hundred large petals, white or rose-colored. Both root and seeds are
esculent, sapid and wholesome. In China it is called Lien-wha, and the seeds and slices of the bury mot,
with the kernels of apricots and walnuts, and alternate layers of ice, were frequently presented to the British
ambassador and his suite at breakfasts given by some of the principal mandarins. The Chinese have alwa \ i
held this plant in such high value, that at length they regarded it as sacred. That character, however, has
not limited it to merely ornamental purposes ; for the roots are not only served up in summer w ith ice, but
they are also laid up in salt and vinegar for the » inter. The seeds are somewhat of the size and form of an
acorn, and of a taste more delicate than that of almonds. The ponds are generally covered with it, and
exhibit a very beautiful appearance, when it is in flower ; and the flowers are no less fragrant than hand-
some.
Sir George Staunton remarks, that the leaf, besides its common uses, has, from its structure, grow'.,g
entirely round the st.dk, the advantage of defending the flower and fruit arising from its centre from
contact with the water, which might injure them. He also remarks, that the stem never fails to ascend In the
water from whatever depth, unlett in cat* of a sudden inundation, until it attaint the surface, when its leaf
expands, rests, and swim* upon it, and sometimes rises above it. This plant bean thl rigorous cold Of the
Pekui winter, though it I* reared with difficulty In European stoves, it often grows ipontaneoutl* In China,
and is propagated in the open air with ease both by the seed and root. The Chinese distinguish many
varieties of it.
Prom the root of the Nelumbo, Sir George Staunton says, the Egyptian! are supposed to have prepared
their Colocasia, but the plant is now no longer found in that country ; from which circumstance some
naturalists infer, that it never was indigenous there, but cultivated bv' the inhabitants with extreme care.
The ancient Roman* made repeated cllbrts to raise it among them, from" seeds brought out of Egypt ; and the

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
modern attempts to cultivate it in Europe, though with the assistance of artificial heat, seldom have
succeeded.
Dr. Patrick Browne is of opinion that the ancients confounded two plants under the name of Lotus or
Egyptian bean, and that under these titles they described the upper parts of the Nymphaea Nelumbo, and the
roots of the iesser Colocasia, now commonly called coccos in Jamaica, Arum Colocasia. {Jam. 243. 332.)
In our stoves the Nelumbium should' be grown in a tub or large pot, in a rich loamy soil, and requires a
strong heat to flower in perfection. The pot or tub should be kept full of water all the time the plants are
growing, but may be allowed to get dry when the flowering season is over. The plants may be increased by
dividing at the root, but it is obtained more readily from seeds, which vegetate freely. {Bot. Cult. 83.)
Kent of Clapton says, that the seeds will keep forty years, vegetate freely, and flower the first year.
{HoH. Trans, iii. 36.)
1214. Dillenia. So named by Linnaeus, in honor of John James Dillenius, the famous professor of botany at
Oxford, author of Historia Muscorum, Hortus Elthamensis, Sec. The species are beautiful trees, with large
leathery leaves, and axillary or terminating flowers often also large. They thrive best in a light loamy soil.
Ripened cuttings, not deprived of their leaves, strike root freely, in a pot of sand plunged under a hand-glass in
heat. Good seeds sometimes arrive from India, when the sooner they are sown the better; placed in a
moderate hot-bed frame, they will succeed well. {Bot. Cult. 50.)
1215. Illicium. From illicio, to attract, on account of its agreeable perfune. I. floridanum has very fragrant
leaves, and capsules having a strong smell of anise when rubbed. This species, and more especially anisatum
is powerfully carminative and stomachic. In China it is in frequent use for seasoning dishes, especially such
as are sweet. In Japan they place bundles and garlands of the aniseed-tree in their temples before their idols,
and on the tombs of their friend6. They also use the powdered bark as incense to their idols. A branch put
into the decoction of Tetraodon hispidum is supposed to increase the virulence of that poison. The bark, finely
powdered, is used by the public watchmen to make a enronometer or instrument for measuring the hours,
by slowly sparkling at certain intervals in a box, in order to direct when the public bells are to sound.
Ripened cuttings will root in sand, but the plant is most readily increased by laj'ers.
1216. Liriodendron. From Xueicv, a lily, and S=vS§ow, a tree. The flowers, which may be likened to a lily or
tulip, grow upon one of the loftiest trees of the forest. A smooth tree, not less admired for its fiddle-shaped
leaves, than its tulip-like flowers, which are produced at the end of the branches ; they are composed of six
petals, three without and three within, which form a sort of bell-shaped flower, whence the inhabitants of
North America gave it the title of tulip. These petals are marked with green, yellow, and red spots, making
a fine appearance when the trees are well charged with flower*. When the flowers drop the germ swells, and
forms a kind of cone, but it does not ripen in England.
The timber is used in America for canoes, but is unfit for boards or planks, as it contracts and expands more
than the wood of any other tree.
The tulip tree is now very common in Europe ; in the south of France and Italy, it is frequent in public
avenues, and flowers when twenty or thirty feet high, and of six or seven years growth. In Britain it requires a

greater age, theugn ringing might probably be successfully applied to throwing this and other ornamental
tn-es into a flowering state. There are many tine old trees round London, in the parishes of Fulham,
Walham-grcen, Kew, &c, and a very fine one even so far north as l'itcaithly wells in Fifeshire.
1217. Magnolia. In honor of I'ierre Magnol, professor of medicine, and prefect of the botanic garden at
Montpelier ; author of Botanicum Monspeliense, 1676, and other works. The species are chiefly large trees
with large leaves, and axillary flowers, also very large and highly odorous.
M. grandiflora is the noblest species ; the leaves, which are persistent, are nine or ten inches long, and
not unlike those of a common laurel. The flowers arc produced at the ends of the branches : they are very
large, and composed of eight or ten petals, narrow at their base, but broad, rounded, and a little waved at their
extremities ; they spread open very wide, are of a pure white color, and have an agreeable scent.
The variety g. elliptica or Exmouth (having been raised from the seed of an old tree in Sir John
Islington's garden of ftiat place) flowers earliest and most freely : it is also the hardiest
M. glauca is deciduous. In America it is known by the names of white laurel, swamp sassafras, and
beai<er tree. It has the last name, because the root is eaten as a great dainty by beavers ; and this annual is
caught by means of it. Kahn says, these trees may be discovered by the scent of the blossoms at the distance
of three quarters of a mile, if the wind be favorable. It is beyond description pleasant to travel in the woods
at the flowering season, especially in the evening. They retain their flowers for three weeks, and even longer.
The berries also look very handsome when they are ripe, being of a rich red color, and hanging in bunches on
slender threads. They cure coughs and other pectoral diseases by putting these berries into brandy, and
giving a draught of the liquor every morning. The wood is made use of for joiners' planes. Diilcnius
remarks, that the flowers never open in a morning, that the calyx falls ofT at the second opening of the flower,
but that the petals dry on, and that the scent resembles that of the lily of the valley, with a mixture of
aromatic.
M. conspicua is much valued as a free flowercr, and on account of the early appearance of its white
odoriferous blossoms. Yulan is the vernacular name in Japan.
M. acuminata bears a fruit about three inches long, like a small cucumber, and is thence called cucumber
tree in America.
M. tripetala has leaves twelve or fifteen inches long and five or six inches wide, narrowing to I point at
e.u h extremity, and placed at the ends of the branches in a circular manner like an umbrella, whence its

spongy, and the leaves drop off earlier than in the other deciduous sorts.
The different species, Street observe*, ire generally increased by layers or seeds: when the layers are fi^t
taken off they should be potted in a mixture of loam and peat, and placed in a close frame till they h.ne
taken fresh root None of the leaves should be taken off' or shortened, nor any shoots be cut off", or their tops
shortened, a- they will not succeed so well ; for the more branches and leaves arc on them, the sooner
lh»*y will strike fresh root. Most cultivators cut off' many of the leaves and shoot* of layers, when
they are first taken off", thinking the roots will not have so much to nourish, which is the very reason

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
they often lose great part of their crop; layers of any kind of shrub whatever, when first taken off, should
not have a single leaf taken off till they have made fresh root : supposing their tops flag ever so much, as
long as there is life it will draw up the sap, and help the plant to root afresh. The Chinese kinds are often
inarched or budded on M. obovata, which takes readily. (Bot. Cult. 306.)
1218. Michelia. Named by Linnaeus, in honor of Pietro Antonio Micheli, of Florence, author of Nova
Plantarum Genera, Flor. 1729, fol. A lofty tree, with fragrant flowers, and fruit edible, but not agreeeable.
In our stoves it grows well in light loam, and cuttings root in sand under a glass and plunged in heat.
1219. Uvaria. The fruit grows in bunches like a small bunch of grapes, whence it has been called Uvaria
from Uva. The berries are considered a specific for gonorrhoea, and are used under the name of cubebs.
These are trees or shrubs with erect or trailing stems, and 1-4-flowered axillary peduncles.
1220. Anona. This is called by the Malays, manoa, and at Banda, menona, which it is presumed that the
Europeans have corrupted into Anona. As the word signifies in Latin food, it has been adopted by Linnaeus
in this sense, because of the habitual use made of the fruit by the Americans. The species are for the most
part fruit trees, with soft pulpy subacid berries, sometimes as large as an orange, but generally more like a plum.
A. muricata is common in every savannah of Jamaica, flowering in the spring. The large succulent fruit
is agreeable to new-comers and over-heated habits ; but it is so common, and so much in use among the
negroes, that it is now hardly ever used among the better sort of people. The smell and taste of the fruit,
flowers, and whole plant, resemble very much those of black currants.
A. tripetala is a large tree with large bright green leaves. The fruit is oblong, scaly on the outside, and of
a dark purple color when ripe; the flesh is soft and sweet, and has many >"rown seeds intermixed with it
which are very smooth and shining. It is esteemed by the Peruvians as one of their most delicate sorts.
A. palustris grows wild in soft marshy places in Jamaica, and bears a fine sweet-scented fruit, of no dis-
agreeable flavour ; but it is said to be a strong narcotic, and is not eaten on that account It is called
alligator apple. The wood of this tree is so very soft, even after it is dried, that it is frequently used by the
country people instead of corks, to stop up their jugs and calabashes ; whence it has now universally obtained
the name of cork-wood in Jamaica. {Browne.)
To bear fruit in our stoves, these trees require a rich loamy soil, rather moist, and to be trained on a wall
or trellis close under the glass. Ringing would also be useful. They arc propagated by ripened cuttings, of a
good size, with their leaves on, planted in sand, and plunged in heat.

1221. Artabotrys. This name was suggested by the curious grapple or tendril belonging to the peduncle, by
which the growing fruit is conveniently suspended on the nearest support. A beautiful Chinese plant, cul-
tivated as an ornamental covering to walls, as well as on account of the fragrance of the blossom, which
diffuses an odor like that proceeding from the finer kinds of ripe fruit. The genus is intermediate, between
Kadsura and Guatteria.
1888, Gmattefkl. Named by the authors of the Flora Peruviana, after John Baptist Guatteri, an Italian
professor of botany at Parma. G. virgata is one of the best timber trees in Jamaica for strength and
elasticity j it is imported under the name of lance-wood, and much used by coachmakers for shaft* to light
carriages.
1883 Aiimina. A name coined by Adanson, without any meaning. Shrubs with deciduous, oblong,
often cuneate leaves, and axillary flowers, which often appear before the leaves. The species are natives of
shady woods in the more southern provinces of North America.
UM Xyt ipia. Named by syncope from £i>>.e» vixen, bitter wood, in allusion to the properties of the wood.
Fruit-bearing trees, but not in much esteem as such. X. glabra is the most useful species. The wood, bark,
and berTies have an agreeable bitter taste, not unlike that of the orange seed. The wild pigeons feed much
upon the latter, and owe that delicate bitterish flavor, so peculiar to them in the season, wholly to this part of
their food. Fresh gathered from the tree, they are agreeable to the palate and grateful to the stomach. The
bark is also richly impregnated with this juice as well as the wood, and both yield a very agreeable
bitter in the mouth while fresh ; but that delicacy diminishes greatly after they are dried. The wood is easily
wrought, and esteemed a good timber where it is not much exposed to the weather. The bitter quality of
this tree is communicated with great facility. A handful of the shavings immersed in water and ii»tantly
taken out again, will render it of a very bitter taste. Sugar sent over in hogsheads made of this wood was so
bitter that no person would purchase it Bedsteads and presses made of it, are proof against cockroaches
ami other insects. Carpenters who work the wood, perceive a bitter taste in their mouths and throats. A
decoction of it is said to be of service in cholics, and to create appetite.
l'.Ki3. Hepahca. From irctTixot, of or relating to the liver. The three lobes of the leaves have been
compared to the three label of the liver. A great favorite of the flower border, both as being evergreen in its
foliage, and for its abundant blcssoms and great variety of colors and shades.

1226. Anemone. From khlu>;, wind, because the greater part of the species grow in elevated places nueh
exposed to the wind. The species are shewy flowering plants, and A. coronaria and hortensis are well known
florists' flowers, valued for their hardy nature, and also because they will flower at almost any season, accord-
ing to the time the roots are kept out of the ground, and the season when they are replanted. The prevailing
colors are red, white, and blue, and semidouble flowers are in nearly as much repute as double ones. Many
new varieties have been raised from seed ; but they are not named by the florists, as in the case of tulips and
and pinks. The roots of anemones are solid flattened masses like those of ginger, and like them are multiplied
by division. A root which has remained in the soil two or three years, if it has room to extend, attains a
great breadth, but is still only one root ; and hence the mode of sale is by weight, and the roots are divided
when planted.
The soil preferred by the anemone is a fresh loam, rather heavy or light. The usual time of planting is the
end of October, covering the roots three inches ; but to have an early bloom they may be planted in the
beginning of September, and to have a bloom every month in the year, plant every month. The finer sorts

will require to be shaded a little if the weather be warm, till they have taken fresh root. (Bot. Cull. 281.)
1228. Naravelia. An alteration of naiawa:l, the name by which the plant is known in Ceylon. A plant
with the habit of Clematis, but bearing leaves of only one opposite many-nerved pair, like Lathyrus.
1229. Thalictrum. This name is said to be derived from S*k).u, to grow green ; from the bright color of
the young shoots. The species are vigorous growing plants, with ramose roots and smooth finely divided
leaves ; they grow in ary soil and situation, and T. tuberosum, cornuti, and aquilegifolium, are reckoned
handsome ornaments in a border or shrubbery.
1230. Adonis. The plant which sprang from the blood of Adonis when wounded by the boar. Handsome
border flowers, especially A. vernalis and autumnalis, and of the easiest culture in any common soil.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1233. Ranunculus. Said to be so called from rana, a frog, because the species inhabit humid places
frequented by that reptde. Renoneule, Fr., Ramtnkcl, Ger., and Rammcole, Ital. Some of the species art-
weeds, one or two border flowers, and K. asiaticus is one of our most esteemed florists* flowers Som* of the
species are tuberous and others bulbous rooted, but the most part are tuberous. R. sceleratus is one of the
most virulent ol our native plants. Bruised and applied to the skin it soon raises a blister, and makes a sore
by no means easy to heal. Strolling beggars have been said to use it for that purpose, in order to excite
compassion. When chewed, it inflames the tongue; and when taken into the stomach, it produces violent
eltects. It is suspected to have proved poisonous to sheep.
R. aconitifolius is a handsome plant, with branching stems, deep green leaves, and pure white flowers : the
double variety is an old and much admired border flower.
• °t{ ?' as!aticus,tne varieties raised from seed are endless. Maddock, in the end of the last century, had nearly
eight hundred, all with proper names, and ranged as purple, gray, crimson, red, rosy, orange, yellow, white
olive coffee, str.ped, spotted, ftc. No plant is more prolific in new varieties from seeds ; no two plants, as
Maddock observes, producing flowers alike, or the same as the original. Established sorts are propagated by
offsets, which generally flower the lirst year : rare sorts may be multiplied by dividing the crown of the tuber
with a sharp penknife into as many parts as there are buds : these will not flower till the second year, but will
diminish the risk ot losing a very rare variety.
The ranunculus prefers a fresh loamy soil, rather than otherwise inclined to clay : it should be well manured •
and it is customary in 1 forming the beds, to place a stratum of well rotted cow-dung six or nine inches below
the surface, which both retains moisture and supplies nourishment. The roots mav either be planted in
November or earlier in which | case, to prevent their being destroyed by the frost, they should be mulched,
or they need not be planted till March. The former mode gives much the strongest bloom, as the roots, when
kept in air all the winter, are apt to be over dried, and kept in sand they sometimes get mouldy : and in
this and similar cases, the progress of vegetation from the planting to the blossoming period, is more rapid
tnan is natural to the species. Ranunculus roots will retain their vegetative properties two and sometimes
three years ; a thing not common among bulbs and tubers, unless preserved dormant in an ice cold room.
K. bulbosus has a solid white bulb about the size of that of the common Orocus. The flowers are some-

and Miscellaneous particulars.
times double, but not so frequently as R. acris. It is distinguished from R. repons, with which it has beet
confounded by some authors, by its roots, by its never throwing out runners, and by its reflexed calyx ; this
last character arises from its |«rticular structure, the lower half being thin and almost transparent, and there-
fore not having a sufficient degree of solidity to support itself upright. It is the second flower which, next to
the Dandelion, covers the meadows with dazzling yellow. Like most of the Crow.foots, it possesses the property
of inflaming and blistering the skin ; particularly the root, which is said to raise blisters with less pain and
more safety than Spanish flies; hence these roots have been applied for that purpose, particularly to the joints
in cases of the gout According to Hoffman, beggars make use of them to blister their skins, with a view of
exciting compassion. The juice of the herb is said to be more acrid than that of R. sccleratus, and if applied
to the nostrils, it provokes sneering. The roots, on being kept, lose their stimulating quality, and are even
eatable when boiled. Hogs are fond of them, and frequently dig them up. The herb is too acrid to be eaten
unmixed by cattle ; accordingly the flowering-stalks are left to perfect the seed in pastures : some of it, how-
ever, is consumed, and it is not improbable that this and other pungent plants, mixed with the grasses, may
act as a powerful stimulus to some animals, as salt does to others. It abounds in dry pastures, and (lowers m
May. Besides the name of round-rooted or bullions Crowfoot, it is called by thecommon |>eople butter- flower,
butter-oii|>«, king. cups, gold-cups ; and it is the cuckoo-buds of yellow hue, of Shaks|>oare. R. repciis,
hirsiitus, and aeris, however, are all confounded with this under one name by the vulgar.
K re|>ens is an obnoxious plant in every description of gardening and agriculture. From the great variety
of soil and situation in which it is found, it assumes many varieties ; by a river's side, or in marshes, it will
grow three or four feet high, with a stem nearly as large as the human thumb; In barren gravelly fields it is
entirely procumbent, with a stem not larger than a small wheat-straw ; but in all states it retain., th" character
of the creeping stem, and it does not lose it in cultivation Its principal time of flowering is in June, but it
may be found in blossom during most of the ensuing summer months in meadows and pastures, under hedges,
in shady waste places, church-yards, and gardens. The qualities of this and bulbOSUS are similar : l»'tb blister
the skin, and are very acrid in taste. Like R acris and bulbosus, it is sometimes found double, but more
rarely.
R acris is supposed to possess the blistering property in a considerable degree, whence Linnaeus gave it the

History, Use, Propagation, Culture
name of acris. Curtis says, that even pulling up the plant, and carrying it to some little distance, has produced a
considerable inflammation in the palm of the hand : that cattle, in general, will not eat it ; yet that sometimes,
when they are turned hungry into a new field of grass, or have but a small spot to range in, they will feed on
it, and hence their mouths have become sore and blistered. According to Linnaous, sheep and goats eat it ;
but kine, horses, and swine refuse it. When made into hay it loses its acrid quality, but then it seems to be
too stalky and hard to aft'ord much nourishment : if it be of any use it must be to correct, by its warmth, the
insipidity of the grasses. In many pastures the flowering stems are left standing in vast abundance to dis-
seminate their seeds : before they do that, they might easily be cut down with the scythe, or pulled up by wo-
men and children alter a shower, which would more effectually destroy the plants ; they should be gathered
into heaps and burnt. It flowers in June and July, and is confounded vulgarly with the repens and bulbosus,
under the name of butter-flower or butter-cups, under a notion that the yellow color of butter is owing to these
plants. It is the richness and exuberance of the pasture that communicates this color, and not these flowers,
*hich the cattle seldom or ever touch. It is frequent in gardens with a double flower, among other herbaceous
perennials, under the name of yellow bachelor's buttons.
R. aquatilis produces flowers which are sometimes very large, and make a handsome show in ponds pr 1
ditches : the curious variety in the floating and immersed leaves, occasioned by the depth and velocity of tliu
stream, adds to the beauty of this common aquatic plant. Dr. Pulteney (Linn. Trans. voL 5. p. 19.) con-
tradicts the assertions of its deleterious qualities, and proves that it is not merely innoxious, but nutritive
to cattle, and capable of being converted to useful purposes in agricultural economy. In the neighbourhood
of Ringwood, on the bordors of the Avon, some of the cottagers support their cows, and even horses, almost
wholly by this plant. A man collects a quantity every morning, and brings it in a boat to the edge of the
water, from which the cows eat it with great avidity, insomuch that they stint them, and allow only about
twenty-five or thirty pounds to each cow daily. One man kept five cows and one horse so much on this plant
with the little which the heath afforded, that they had not consumed more than half a ton of hay throughout
the whole year, none being used except when the river is frozen over. Hogs also are fed with this plant, and
improve so well on it, that it is not necessary to give them any other sustenance till they are put up to fatten.
This property of water-crowfoot is the more remarkable, as all the species have been deemed acrimonious,
and some of them are, without doubt, highly so. It is probable this species is rendered inert as a poison b>-
growing in the water ; although it must be confessed, that in other instances moisture heightens the deleterious
property of vegetables, especially in the umbelliferous tribe.

This remark of Dr. Pulteney's is the more important, as in the Swedish experiments the R. aquatilis is re-
corded as the only one rejected by all the species of domestic cattle ; of the common sorts, there is no doubt
out that If. Klammula, bullxisus, arris, sceler.itus, and arvensis are acrimonious. Before the Introduction of
(antharides they were used as vesicatories, and are said to act with less pain than flies, without any effect oi.
the urinary passages; but their action is related to be uncertain, and they arc accused of frequently leaving
ill-conditioned Hirers
The acrimony, even of the most virulent, is wholly dissipated in drying ; so that in form of hay they appear
to lie harmless. It is also expelled in decoction ; accordingly, the shepherds of Morlachia boil the K. sceler.i-
tus and eat it ; and both H. auricomus and rcpciis are said to be wholly inoffensive, and are ranked hj some
authors among oleraceous plants.
The Ranunculi give out their acrimony wholly in distillation. The distilled water of R. sreleratus is intensely
acrimonious; and when cold deposits crystals, which are scarcely soluble in any menstruum, and are ot an
inflammable nature.

1239. Caltha. A syncope of xaXtzSo;, a goblet, in allusion to the form of the corolla, which may be likened
to a golden cup. The flower-buds of C. palustris, gathered before they expand, are said to be a good substitute
for capers. The juice of the petals boiled with alum dyes paper yellow. The whole plant is acrid, and not
eaten by cows, unless in case of extreme hunger.
Class XIV. — DIDYN AMI A. 4 Stamens, of which two are shorter than the others.
, This class, which, as its name applies, depends upon the presence of four stamens in the corolla, two of them
being longer than the others, is, with the exception of Syngenesia and Gynandria, the most natural and best
defined of all Linnajus's great groups, or, as he named them, classes. It is divided into two orders, called Gym-
nospermia and Angiospermia.
Gymnospermia contains all the genera with what are popularly but erroneously called by the Linnsan school
of botany, naked seeds. It answers to the natural order of Labiataeof Jussieu's method, with the exception of
some genera which are excluded on account of having only two stamens, an i are found in Diandria. Nearly
all the class consists of herbaceous plants, those which are called shrubs being for the most part herbaceous
plants, whose stems, from the mildness of the climate in which they grow, become perennial. The most re-
markable plants are the rosemary, hyssop, balm, thyme, mint, and nurjoram, for the kitchen or laboratory ;
and the various species of Teucriunj, Lavandula, Phlomis, and Dracocephaluin, for the flower garden.
In Angiospermia are included the genera with numerous, or rarely a few, seeds, enclosed in a simple pericar-
pium. These would be combined in a manner not altogether unnatural, if some of the genera were excluded.
For instance, the beautiful Linna?a, the emblem of the most highly gifted naturalist the world has ever pro-
duced, belongs to Caprifoliacea?, and stands alone in point of natural affinity ; the same may be said of Melian-
thus. The greater part of Scrophularineae, ail Melampyraceae and Orobancheae, and nearly the whole of Ver-
benaceae and Gesnerieas are found here. A considerable portion of Acanthacea? also occupy a station in this
order. Among these are many genera of much beauty, but few of interest as useful plants. Among the or-
namental families every one will recognize the Bignonia, with its elegant orange or yellow trumpet flowers, and
frequently twining stem ; the Jacaranda, with its fern-like umbrageous foliage and magnificent diadem of
blue ; the Acanthus, consecrated to sculpture ; the noble Clerodendrum, the pride of the Japanese ; and the
modest Eyebrights (Euphrasia) of our English meadows. In one part of the class we have the Vervain, sur-
rounded by its mystic moonlight charms ; in another, the Antirrhinum tribe, remarkable for the grotesque
resemblance of its blossoms to the snouts of animals ; and close behind it, imperial Pedicularis, proudly
rearing her heraldic honours among the snows and deserts of the frozen north. These are succeeded by a
long line of forms, principally European, and of various degrees of beauty. Among the useful plants, Digitalis,
used in medicine, and Sesamum as oil seed, are all which can be particularized.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1242. Ajuga. Said to be an alteration of abigo, to expel or drive away. The Latins attributed emme
nagogue qualities to a plant called ajuga, which is believed to be our Teucrium chama?pitys. Handsome
flowering plants. A. reptans is vulgarly reputed vulnerary, cooling, and gently astringent. It is commonly
called bugle, which appears to be a corruption of bugula, a contracted diminutive of buglossum, which the
plant resembles in medical qualities.
1243. Anisomeles. So named by Mr. Brown, from a., privative, lertu, equal, and /Mkos, a member.
Tropical downy herbaceous plants. Their leaves are crenated, flowers grow in whorls supported by minute
bract ow ; the calyxes are glandular, and the corolla of all the species purple.
1244. Teucrium. Teucer, the Trojan prince, is said by Pliny to have been the first to employ this plant

branches of T. marum Mar, Arabic, signifying bitter), when recent, on being rubbed between the fingers,
emit a volatile aromatic smell, which readily excites sneezing, but to the taste they are bitterish, accompanied
with a sensation of heat and acrimony. Cats are very fond of these plants, and where there are few will
destroy them.

hops, and the beer is said Moni r to become clear than when hops are made use of. Withering found on trial
that it gave too much color to the liquor.
T. scordium, also from rxo^nt, garlic, was once in high esteem for destroying worms and for fomentations

cat it, their milk gets a garlic flavor. "
T. chamanlrys, is said to have cured Charles V. of the gout, by a vinous decoction taken for sixty successive
days. It is commonly called Germander, which seems to be a corruption of the word Chama?drys, for the
French call it germandrec, an evident alteration of gamandre, under which name it first appeared in the very
rare Herbier do Mayence, printed in 1485.
1245. YVestringia. Named by Sir J. E. Smith, in honor of Dr. John Peter Wcstring, physician to the king
of Sweden, and author of several learned papers on the Lichen tribe. A genus of New Holland plants
chiefly from the colder parts of that country, mid having the appearance of our Kosemary.

Hittory, Use, Propagation, Culture,
Vide John de Souza, p. 106. The plant to which this name was given is involved in uncertainty. It appears
to have been one of the smallest plants, whence some have inferred that " the Hyssop which groweth out of
the wall" is a kind of moss. H. officinalis, a neat little evergeen tuft, and most ornamental and fragrant when
in flower, was once in considerable repute as a popular medicine, but is now almost out of use
1249. Nepeta. Said by Linnaeus to be derived from Nepet, a town of Tuscany, mentioned by Pliny. N.
cataria is called catmint, because cats are very fond of it, especially when it is withered, when they will roll
themselves on it, tear it to pieces, and chew it with great pleasure. Ray observes, that plants which he
transplanted from the fields into his garden were always destroyed by the cats, unless he protected them with
thorns till they had taken good root and came into flower ; but that they never meddled with plants raised
from seed. Miller has confirmed this by his own experience; having frequently set a plant from ano-
ther part of the garden within two feet of others which came up from seeds, when the former was torn
in pieces and destroyed by the cats, whilst the latter remained unhurt. The true reason of this di-
fference is assigned by Ray ; that the cat is fond of It in a languid withering state, or wnen the peculiar
scent of the plant is excited by being handled or bruised in gathering or transplanting. Hence the English
vulgar saying,

1250 Klsholhua. Named by Willdenow, in memory of a Prussian botanist, John Sigismund FJsholtz, who
lived in the middle of the seventeenth century. Inconspicuous hardv herbaceous plants Of little nurd.
1251 Lavandula. From Invare, to wash. The use of the distilled water of this plant It well known.
The Mowers of L spica have an agreeable fragrant odour, and warm bitterish taste. Alcohol extracts their
rirtues completely, and elevates in distillation all their odorous parts : water acts less completely. 1 'he oil,
however, on which their virtues depend, is obtained separate in distillation with water, in the proportion,
according to Lewis, of one ounce of oil from sixty ounces of the flowers. Lavender is stimulant and tome.
The oil extracted by alcohol enters into several compositions. The dried leaves in powder were used formerly
as a sternutatory . but they are now neglected. The flowers are cut in dry weather, when they begin to blow.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
wounds by sword. The plants of the moderns do not possess any such properties. Their flowers, however,
have frequently a ferruginous color.
1253. Bystropogon. A name elegantly contrived by L'Hcritier, from (Sum, to close, and ■anym, a beard, in
allusion to the throat of the corolla being closed by hairs.
1254. Mentha. M/>&« or /«»»»>, in old Greek. The poets feign that Mintha was a daughter of Cocytus,
transformed into the plant which bears her name ; an allegorical description of the terrible eftects ascribed
to their plant by the ancients. M. viridis not being so hot to the taste as peppermint, and having a more
agreeable flavor than most of the others, is generally preferred for culinary and some medicinal purposes. The
leaves or tops are used in spring salads, and eaten dried as sauce with lamb and in soups.
The medical preparations of spearmint are more pleasant than those of peppermint, but perhaps less
efficacious. This herb, as do the other sorts, contains much essential oil, but of an odor less agreeable than
that of lavender or marjoram : it is therefore less employed as a cephalic ; but it acts very powerfully on parts
to which it is immediately applied, and therefore considerably on the stomach. It acts especially as an anti-
spasmodic, and therefore relieves pains and cholic arising from spasm. It will also stop vomiting dependent
on the same cause ; but if it arise from an inflammatory irritation in the stomach itself, or in other parts of
the body, it aggravates the disease. The infusion of mint in warm water agrees better with the stomach than
the distilled water. The officinal preparations are an essential oil, a conserve, a simple water, and a spirit.
The conserve is very grateful, and the distilled waters both simple and spirituous, arc generally thought
pleasant

and Miscellaneous Particulars.
Lewis observes, that mint is said to prevent the coagulation of milk ; and hence it has been recommended
to be used with milk diets, and even in cataplasms and fomentations for resolving coagulated milk in the
breasts : upon experiment, the curd of milk, digested in a strong infusion of mint, could not be perceived to
I* any otherwise affected than by common water; but milk, in which mint leaves were set to macerate, did
not coagulate near so soon as an equal quantity of the same milk kept by itself. Dry mint digested in rectified
spirits of wine, gives out a tincture which appears by day-light of a fine dark green, but by candle-light of a
bright red color. The fact is, that a small quantity of this tincture is green, either by day-light or candle-
light, but a large quantity seems impervious to common day-light ; however, when held between the eye and
a candle, or between the eye and the sun, it appears red ; so that if put into a flat bottle it appears green,
but when viewed edgewise red.
For medicinal use spearmint is generally rut just as the flowers appear; but for obtaining the essential
oil, the flowering plant is preferred It should be cut in very dry weather. (London DitpentatOT
■L piperita has a more penetrating smell than any of the other species, and a much stronger taste, pui
and glowing like pepper, sinking as it where into the tongue, and followed by a sensation of coldness. Its
stomachic, anti-spasmodic and carminative qualities render it useful in flatulent colics, hysterical affections,
retchings, and other dyspeptic symptoms, acting as a cordial, and often producing immediate rebel. The
officinal preparations are an essential oil, a simple water, and a spirit. The essence of peppermint is an
medicine, and seems to be the rectified oil dissolved in spirits of wine.
" Tut cultivator- of" the plant observe, that to keep up its quality, the roots must be transplanted every three

years, otherwise ii degenerates into the flavor of spearmint" (Lmnean Transactions, v. 176.) If the plant be
cut in wet weather it changes to black, and is little worth. {London Dispensatoiy, 385.)
M. pulegium (from pulex, a louse, which animal it was thought to drive away) smells like spearmint, but
less fragrant; the taste aromatic and pungent, with a slight flavor of camphor. These qualities reside in a
very volatile essential oil, which rises in distillation with water. It was formerly regarded as emmenagogue,
expectorant, and diaphoretic, and was in repute for promoting the uterine evacuation, and relieving hysteria,
hooping-cough, asthma; but it is now justly considered of no value, and seldom used in regular practice.
{London Dispensatory, 386.)
1255 Perilla. A name the meaning of which has not been explained. An annual plant with a strong
balmy fragrance.
1256. Hyptis. From vTnof, reversed, because the corolla seems inverted, both as to its form and as to the
insertion of stamens. Plants with densely whorled flowers, all natives of the western parts of the world,
within, or nearly so, the limits of the tropics.
1257. Horminum. Prom os/umco, to excite, in allusion to its stimulant qualities. The Horminum of the
ancients was reputed aphrodisiac.
1258. Glechoma. Y\%xa'> was a sort °f Thyme among the Greeks. Small trailing herbs. The leaves of
G. hederacea are often deformed with red hairy tumours, which are the galls of the Cynips Glechoma. Before

ISfiA Lamiutn. Lamia was a celebrated marine monster; the flowers of this genus have a considerable
n-einblance to the grotesque figure of some beast. I* orvala is the only species admitted into the garden
The others are mostly ugly weeds. L album, Ortie blanche, Fr., Taube Netttt, (ier, and Orlica nutria or
biatica, ltal , has a disagreeable smell when bruised, and though no cattle whatever will touch it, yet Lmnaus
■ays, the leaves are eaten in Sweden as a pot herb in spring.
1 SOL Cialeopsis. From y*>.r„ a weasel, and «\j//;, appearance. The flower has a grotesque figure, and may-
be likened to the form of a weasel, or, indeed, of any thing else.
: OaleobdoloH. A word with the same meaning as Galeopsis, which see.
Betonica. In Celtic botany is called Benlonic ; wherefore it appears, that Pliny gave too much way
to conjecture, when he wrote that Betonica or Vetonica was so called from the Vctones, a M Dpi* who dwelt
at the foot of the Pyrenees B.offlcinalii was formerly much used in medicine, but it is discarded bom
modern practice When fresh it Intoxicate*. The leaves when dry excite miming. Sheep eat lubiitgoata
r. in e it. The toots ire bitter and very n.ij*cous ; in a small dose they vonut and purge violently. This plant
dyes wool of a very line dark yellow color.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
nate coughs. It loosens the belly when taken in large doses, and was consequently recommended in jaundice,
cachexies, menstrual obstructions, and hysteria ; but its powers are not found by modern practitioners equal to
the account ancients gave of them, and therefore it is very seldom prescribed. (London Dispensatory, 379.)
1267. Leonurus. From Asav, a lion, and u(k, tail. The spikes of flowers have been compared to the tuft which
grows on the end of the lion's tail. L. Cardiaca was formerly used in medicine, but is now neglected. Tall
herbaceous plants with cut leaves and whorls of flowers, of which the corolla is woolly.
1268. Phlomis. &\t>f&es was the Greek name of the Mullein, and so called from <pXo%, fire, because the
thick cottony leaves were used as wicks for lamps. At this day, P. Lychnitis is so called, because the dried
leaves, which are cottony and russet colored, are used in Spain for wicks. Fine shewy small shrubs or her-
baceous plants, with corolla covered with down, and usually of a brownish yellow color.
1269. Leucas. A name used by Burmann, neglected by Linnaeus and others, and restored by Mr. Brown ;
derived from Xivxos, white, in reference to the usual color of the flowers, which are covered all over with a
thick covering of wool.
1-7U Lconutis From htm, a lion, and amj, an car. A fanciful name applied to the fine scarlet-flowering

color. For this purpose the linen is first macerated in alum water and dried ■ it is then soaked for two davs in
a decoction of the bark of the crab-tree ; it is then wrung out of this, boiled in a ley of ashes, and 'then
suffered to boil in the decoction. According to the Swedish experiments, goats and sheep eat it, horses are
not fond of it, and kine refuse it.
O. onites and marjorana are culinary aromatics ; the latter being principally in use under the name of
knotted marjoram, from the flower coming in whorls at the joints. O. vulgare and marjorana are both retained
in the Materia Medica as tonics and stomachics, though scarcely ever used. In quack medicine, the leaves

T. serpyllum, from i%ru, to creep, is fragrant, and yields an essential oil that is very heating. It has the
same sensible qualities as garden thyme, but the flavor is milder, and rather more grateful. Its essential oil
is both smaller in quantity and less acrid, and its spirituous extract comes greatly short of the penetrating
warmth and pungency of the other. It is a common notion that the flesh of sheep that feed upon aromatic
plants, particularly wild thyme, is superior in flavor to other mutton. The truth is, that sheep do not crop

these aromatic plants, unless now and then by accident, or when they arc first turned on hungry to downs,
heaths, or commons; but the soil and situations favorable to aromatic plants produce a short sweet pasturage
best adapted to feeding sheep, whom nature designed for mountains, and not for turnip grounds and rich
meadows. The attachment of bees to this and other aromatic plants is well known.
Few plants are subject to more varieties than wild thyme. In its most natural state, on dry exposed downs,
it is small and procumbent ; but when it grows among furze or other plants, it runs up with a slender stalk to
a foot or more in height. It differs also very much in the smoothness or hairiness of its leaves. The flowers
are sometimes larger than ordinary, and of a paler purple color, or even white.
T. vulgaris has the aromatic qualities common to lavender, sage, rosemary, and other Vcrticillata\ It yields
a species of camphor in distillation with water. In Spain they infuse it in the pickle with which they preserve
their olives. Before the oriental spices were common, it was much used in cookery.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture
lemons, which is lost in drying, and an austere, slightly aromatic taste. In distillation with water, it yields a
small portion of a yellow essential oil, on which its" odor depends. It is stomachic and diuretic, and was
formerly prized as a corroborant in hypochondriacal and nervous affections ; but it is now used only in the
form of tea, as a grateful diluent in fevers. For medicinal use the herb should be cut before it flowers, as it
is then more odorous. {London Dispensatory, 383.)
1279. Dracocephalum. From b^a.xuy, a dragon, and xvfaXri, a head. A name applied in the same sense as
Lamium, Galeopsis, &c. See those genera. Most of the species are plants of ornament, and cultivated as
such in the gardens of the curious. D. canariense smells of citron, especially when rubbed between the
fingers. Sown on a hot-bed early in spring, it may be planted out in the borders like other tender aim jals.
D. austriacum is a handsome plant for a flower border.

History, Use, Propagation, culture,
1785, quarto. Handsome low herbaceous plants, with fine shewy flowers. The Gloxinia speciosa is a favorite
in every hothouse, on account of the beauty of its rich purple blossoms.
1292. Linncea. So named by Gronovius, in honor of the celebrated Carl von Linne, the reformer of natural
history, and the father of the modern physical sciences. His works are not less numerous than important ; it
is to be wished that such another man, with equal talent, industry, and judgment, could be found at the present
day, to rescue the science of natural history from the confusion to which it is fast approaching.
1293. Melianthus. From mXi, honey, and av.9^ flower. A shrub, native of the Cape of Good Hope, the blossoms
of which are a great attraction to bees Both the known species are common in collections, but seldom flower.
1294. Biynonia. In memory of Abbe Bignon, librarian to I^ouis XIV., born 1662, died in 1743. He was the
friend and patron of most of the learned men of his time, and especially of Tournefort, bv whom this truly
noble genus was named. The species are trees or shrubs, inhabitants of hot climates : the leaves are opposite,
pinnate, ternate, or conjugate : the flowers in panicles, large, and handsome, of various colors, red, blue,
yellow, or white, and eminently beautiful. The stove sorts grow freely in loam and peat, and young cuttings
root in sand under a hand-glass. The hardy species grow in any soil, but will not flower well unless the
situation be warm. They are increased by cuttings of the roots, by layers, or by young cuttings on gentle heat
under a hand-glass or frame. B. radicans is a well known and much admired species, capable of living in the
open air in this country against a wall.
1295. Jacaranda. The name of the tree in Brazil. Two kinds remarkable for the goodness of their wood,
aie described by Piso. Those in the gardens are lofty stove plants with fern-like, elegant leaves, <iinc
panicles of beautiful blue flower*. They grow with facility, but flower seldom

1296. Sesamum. From the Arabic word temsem. Forskahl, p. 68. These plants were introduced into
Jamaica by the Jews, and are now cultivated in most parts of the island. They are called van^lo or oil-plant
The seeds are frequently used in broths by many of the Europeans,but the .lews make them chiefly into cake-
Man; of the oriental nations look upon the seed as B hearty wholesome food, and express an oil from then..
not unlike, or inferior to, the oil of almonds. It has been also manufactured for salad oil in this country, but
without much success.
S. orientale is frequently cultivated in the Levant, and also in Africa, as a pulse: the seeds have been
Introduced in Carolina by the Alncan negroes. An oil is extracted from the seeds which will keep many
fears, and not acquire ariy rancid smell or taste, but in two years become quite mild, so that when the warm
f the seed, which is in the oil when first drawn, is worn off, it is used as salad oil, and for all the pur-
poses of sweet oil.
The seeds are also used by the negroes for food : they parch them over the fire, then mix them with water,
and stew other ingredients with them. A pudding is made with them, in the same manner as with millet or
rice.
In Japan. China and Cochin-China, where they have no butter, they use the oil for frying fish, and in
dressing other dishes; as a varnish ; and medicinally as a resolvent and emollient. Nine pounds of the seed
yield upwards of two pounds of neat oil.
121*7. Pcntstcmon. From ntrt, five, and crimen, a stamen, because of the four perfect and one unperttM
stamen of the genus. Beautiful herbaceous plants, deserving a place in every garden.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1298. Ckelone. XtXmri signifies a tortoise, to the back of which the helmet of the present genus has been
fancifully compared. The species are handsome border flowers, of easy culture in loamy soil, or loam and a
little peat.
1299. Tourrettia. Named in honor of Marc Antoine Louis Claud la Tourrette, to whom some of Rousseau's
Letters on Botany are addressed. A singular climbing annual plant, producing its flowers sparingly from the
tips of the branches. Seldom preserved long in a garden, as it produces seed very sparingly.
1300. Martynia. In honor of John Martyn, F. R. S., professor of botany at Cambridge, author of Historia
Plantarum Rariorum, and many other works : died in January, 176S. His son is the editor of the last edition
of Miller's Dictionary. Handsome tropical annuals, remarkable for the size of their flowers compared with
their leaves.
1301. Acanthus. From axavSa, a spine : many of the kinds are very spiny. The species are generally
large, with a single herbaceous stalk, and great pinnatifid leaves. The flowers are produced in terminating
spikes. Some of the species are shrubby and thorny, with undivided leaves, toothed, and having a thorn at
the end of the teeth.
A. mollis was formerly used in medicine under the name of Branca ursina : the root abounds in mucilage
and may be substituted for those of the marsh mallow. Virgil has two very different plants under the nam°
of Acanthus : one a tree, supposed to be the Mimosa nilotica, which produces the gum Arabic : the other ari

History, Use, Propugation, Culture,
A deciduous under shrub with a most agreeable odor of citrons, and of tin
Jersey and Guernsey, it stands the winter in warm situations.
1314. Lijipia. Named in honor of Augustine Lippi, a French physician, born in Paris of an Italian family.
He accompanied the ill-fated embassy of Lenoir Duroule to the king of Abyssinia, in the beginning of the
eighteenth century, and was assassinated along with the ambassador at Sennaar. His merits entitled him to a
more interesting genus than this, which consists of obscure weedy shrubs of South America.
1315. Melampyrum. From /juiXa.;, black, and m;t>s, wheat. Its grain resembles a grain of wheat, and gives
a singularly black color to bread in which it is mixed. Smooth narrow-leaved weeds, not uncommon in corn
fields and copses. M. pratense is considered nutritive, and was formerly cultivated by the Dutch and Flemish
in the manner of Spurrey.
1316. Selago. This has nothing beyond its name in common with the Selago of the ancients; nor is it
possible to imagine what induced Linnaeus to apply it to the present plants, which are pretty half-shrubby
Cape plants, with beautiful corymbs or spikes of flowers. Hardy greenhouse plants, propagated with facility
by cuttings.
1317. Vitex. An ancient name applied to seme plant of the osier tribe. V. Agnus Castus is an autumn shrub,
with whorled spikes of blue and white flowers from seven to fifteen inches long. The dried leaves have a
powerfully aromatic odor. The seeds, from the time of Dioscorides and Pliny, have been highly celebrated
for securing chastity ; hence the absurd officinal name of the shrub, Agnus castus ; ayvos, in Greek, being the
same with castus in Latin : ami hence the Athenian matrons, in the acred rites of Ceres, used to strew their

The seeds of the chaste-tree are, however, 60 far from being thought antiaphrodisiac, that writers of later

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1331. Pedalium. Xlviia.>j<iv, a Greek word signifying a nail or point. This plant produces a hard and
nut-like fruit with four sharp points or horns.
1332. Myoporum. From f/,ua, to shut up, and to«o;, a pore ; the spots which cover the leaves being, as it
were, pores closed with some semi-transparent substance.
1333. Stenochitus. From rivos, narrow, and ££<ao? , a lip ; the narrow lip distinguishing this genus from
some of its kindred. Very pretty New Holland small shrubs, with fine red flowers.
1334. Bontia. James Bont or Bontius was a Dutch physician, born at Batavia, published in 1658, a natural
history of the East Indies, in the manner of Piso. A South American plant, with the appearance of a
Daphne. The leaves are alternate, fleshy, and crenated, and the flowers axillary.
1335. Orobanche. So called from oeo'vts, a vetch, or other leguminous plant, and ayrs/v, to strangle, in
allusion to the well known effect of these parasites in destroying the plants upon which they grow. The
bpecies are fleshy herbs of a russet color, fastening themselves to the roots of other plants, and chiefly to
Leguminosje. The root is tuberous, imbricate with scales, and sends out fibres into the soil ; the stem is
without leaves, scaly, and generally simple : the flowers are in terminating spikes. The whole plant is acrid
and astringent, and rejected by all animals, excepting the minuter tribes of Cimices and Thripses.
O. major adheres to the root of broom, furze, and clover, and is particularly destructive to the latter,
especially in Flanders, where in some places it deters the fanner altogether from the culture of clover. It has
a large, thick, fleshy, oval, scaly root, sometimes bulbous, and sending out fibres which are very brittle. The
bulb adheres to the woody roots of furze or broom, and the fleshv root of clover, and the fibres clasp round
them.
O. elatior is commonly found adhering to the roots of Ccnlaurca scabiosa and Trifolium pratensc. It docs

O. minor also adheres to common red clover and to Hypochseris radicata. O. ramosa is found on Galeopsu
tetrahit. Any of the specie* may be removed to the garden and planted by the whin or broom.
1336. Cresct'ntia. In niemorv of 1'ietro Cre-eenti, of Bologna, author Of various agricultural works in the
thirteenth century. The fruits after the inside has been scooped out, are dried by the natives of the countries
where they grow, and serve for containing water or other Munis.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1.J42. Euphrasia. An abridgment of Euphrosine, the name of a woman, expressing joy or pleasure. Thi*
has been so called from the joyful effects of E. officinalis in disorders of the eyes, but it is now thought to be
injurious rather than otherwise. Lightfoot states, that the Scotch Highlanders make an infusion of it in milk,
and anoint ihe patient's eyes with a feather dipped in it.
1343. Antirrhinum. From ecvri, similar, and %iv, a nose, because the flowers of most of the species bear a
perfect resemblance to the snout of some animal. A. majus and its varieties are popular border flowers of the
easiest culture in any dry soil ; the other species are also pretty little plants.
1344. I.inaria. The plant out of flower is very similar to Linum, Flax. The species are for the most part
pretty annual plants ; and some of them, as L. Cymbalaria, well adapted for growing in pots or for rock-work.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1047. Maurandya. Named in honor of the lady of Dr. Maurandy, the botanical professor at Carthagena.
An elegant greenhouse plant, native of Mexico, and flowering for months together in the summer.
1348. Gerardia. In honor of John Gerarde, our old English botanist, author of the Herbal, 1597, folio, and a
great cultivator of exotic plants, of which he published a catalogue in 1596. These are handsome North
American herbaceous plants, of such very difficult culture, that few persons have seen them in gardens.
They deserve any pains which may be necessary to their successful cultivation.
1349. Pedicularis ; of which the English word lousewort is a translation and explanation. The term
lousewort is applied from a supposition that sheep which feed much on the plant become lousy; probably
because the plants grow in very bad pastures, which may occasion the sheep to be in bad condition and to
breed vermin. The species have their leaves very much cut, and that in a very regular manner. Their
flowers are red, white, or yellow, and the mixture or shades of these three colors sometimes give the corolla
the colour of fire. They grow in general at a considerable elevation ; namely, more than a thousand toises
above the level of the sea,
P. sceptrum Carolinum was so named by Rudbeck, in honor of Charles XII. It abounds in the north of
Sweden ami Lapland, where it was greatly admired by the traveller Dr. Clarke, who sent seeds of it to the
Cambridge botanic garden, but they never came to any thing. The flowers grow in long whorled spikes, and

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1355. Digitalis. Named by Fuchs, from digitabulum, a thimble, in allusion to the form of the flowers. The
species are tor the most part shewy border flowers of easy culture. D. purpurea, found both with purple an.
white flowers, is erne ol the most ornamental of native plants in rocky copses, neglected hedges, and by roau
sides Its large tall spike attracts not only the botanist and florist, but is even conspicuous enough to be
introduced m the painter s landscape of such scenery. It is a violent poison ; but also a valuable plant in
medicine. ihe leaves are the parts of the plant used. They should be gathered when the plant is iu flower,
am. those only which are fresh selected. The leafstalks and midrib should be rejected, ajnl the remaining part
be dried either in the sunshine, or on a tin-pan or pewter dish before the tire, or the plant be hung up. each
leaf separate, in a warm kitchen. Practitioners ought annually to obtain a supply of the recent leaves in
the month of July, and dry them themselves ; as in the herb-shops they are often so ill dried as to appear
black, in which state they are useless. The powder should be kept in closely stopped opaque phials.
Digitalis is directly sedative and diuretic. It weakens the force of all the vital functions; and by a proper
exhibition oi it, the frequency ol the pulse may be diminished anv number of pulsations, and regulated at the
pleasure of the practitioner ; whilst at the same time it admits, "to a certain extent, of the employment ol
such medicines as increase the firmness of the arterial action, and give tone to the habit. When given to the

History, Use, Propagation, Culture, .
1358. Sibthorpia. In honor of Humphry Sibthorp, M. D., professor of botany at Oxford, who travelled
into Greece, for the purpose of collecting materials for a classical Flora Graeca, in which he succeeded even
beyond his own hopes. After his death the publication of his materials was confided to Sir James Edward
Smith, under whose care the work has reached to five hundred figures in folio, of the most magnificent kind ;
five hundred more have yet to be published. A little trailing plant.
1359. Limosella. Prom limus, mud. The plant grows by the edge of puddles and in muddv places.
1360. Browallia. Named by Linnaeus, in honor of John Browallius, bishop of Aboa, who defended the sexual
system against Sicgesbeck, in a book entitled Examen epicriseos, &c, Aboa, 1739, octavo. Handsome plants
with blue flowers, often cultivated as tender annuals.
1361. Stemodia. From ri."*"1! a stamen, and hs, double. Each of the stamens supports two anthers.
1362. Trevirana. Named after Dr. Treviranus, a German botanist. This beautiful plant, which is com-
monly called Cyrilla pulchella, is one of the prettiest of the old inhabitants of the stove.
l.;t>3. Co/umnea. In honor of Fabius Columna, or Fabio Colonna, of the noble family of Colonna in Italy,
bom in 1567. He published his Phytobazanos in 1592, and his Ecphrasis in 1606, both works of high
reputation in their day. One species, C. scandens, is common in hothouses, where it is cultivated for the
neatness of its foliage and the beauty of its scarlet blossoms.

536 TETRADYNAMIA. Class XV.
Class XV. — TETRADYNAMIA. Stamens 6, of which four are longer than the rest.
This class consists, with the exception of Cleomc, entirely of the natural order Cruciferse, and has lately been
the subject of the most acute and successful investigation of many botanists of celebrity. Our countryman,
Mr. Brown, led the way to the improvements which have been made in the genera, in the second edition of the
Hortus Kcwensis, in which, discarding the uncertain and unnatural characters derived from variations in the
floral envelopes, he took a new course, and by indicating with great precision the curious modifications of the
seeds and seed-vessels, led the way to an entirelv new arrangement of the class. The principles thus developed
have been adopted by M. Decandolle, whose learned treatise upon Crucifera? is here followed without
variation.
The di (Terence between the genera with a long pod (Siliquostc), and those with a short one (Si/iculoscz), has
given rise to two orders in the Linnean system. But these are not only ambiguous, but interfere so much
with a distribution of the genera according to their natural affinities, that they have been rejected here, and
the divis'10113 of M. Decandolle, depending upon variation in the relative position of the various parts of the
seed, have been substituted.
The plants of this class have always been celebrated for their antiscorbutic qualities. These seem to reside
in an acrid, oily, volatile principle, not yet determined by chemists, and varying in the degree of abundance in
which it is found in different species. It is particularly abundant in the seeds of mustard and garden rocket,
in the roots of the horse radish, and in the foliage of the I.epidium latif'olium, which, administered inwardly,
act powerfully upon the gastric organs, or, applied externally, inflame the skin and operate nearly as severely
as blisters. A slighter degree of acrimony is found in the foliage of the scurvy grass, the roots of the garden
radish, &c. ; and these, therefore, operate more gently, and perhaps more safely, when eaten, scarcely at all
when applied outwardly. Whatever the degree of acrimony may be in these plants, they all appear, when
eaten, to produce some specific action upon the digestive organs, and thence upon scorbutic humours ; for
which reason, the horse radish, water-cress, radishes, and even cabbages are eminently antiscorbutic. They
are also admitted by physicians as diuretic, sialagogue, and diaphoretic. It is only when the acrid principle is
diffused over a considerable quantity of fleshy and watery substance, that cruciferous plants become eatable, as
in the leaves and stems of cabbages and sea-kail, and in the roots of radishes and turnips. Even in these
plants, the proportion of acrid principle is much diminished by exclusion from light. Plants of this class are
also remarkable for containing a larger quantity of azote than most vegetables ; for which reason ammonia is
generally evolved in their fermentation or putrefaction : to which circumstance it is possible that the two
remarkable phcenomena are to be attributed, viz. ; that cruciferous plants contain a greater portion of nutritive
matter than most herbaceous plants ; and that they require either a very rich soil manured with animal sub-
stances, or at least a situation near the habitations of men. The embryos of all these plants are tilled with
oil, and the seeds of Camelina sativa, Brassica campestris, some species of Rocket, &c. are cultivated in many
parts of Europe for the sake of their expressed oil, which is used either for culinary purposes or for lamps.
Cruciferous plants are chiefly natives of temperate climates, those which are found within the tropics being
in all cases mountain plants, and are nearly all cultivable in the open air; they are mostly found in open
sandy plains ; some on the tops of the highest mountains at the utmost limits of vegetation. Nine hundred
species are now described, of which not more than twenty-two are to be found in the works of Hippocrates,
Theophrastus, Dioscorides, or Pliny.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
not find their way into the plantation. Near Kickmansworth, in Hertfordshire, there is a fine stream ol
water on a chalky bottom, in which one cultivator grows five acres, and sends a supply to London every
day in the year, Sundays excepted. There are also large plantations at Uxbridge, Gravcsend, and other
places.
Some market-gardeners, who can command a small stream of water, grow the water-cress in beds sunk
about a foot in a retentive soil, with a very gentle slope from one end to the other. Along the bottom of this
bed, which may be of any convenient length and breadth, chalk or gravel is deposited, and the plants are
inserted about six inches distance every way. Then, according to the slope and length of the bed, dams are
made six inches high across it, at intervals ; so that when these dams are full, the water may rise not less
than three inches on all the plants included in each. The water, being turned on, will circulate from dam to
dam ; and the plants, if not allowed to run to flower, will afibrd abundance of young tops in all but the winter
months. A stream of water no larger than what will fill a pipe of an inch bore, will, if not absorbed by the
soil, suffice to irrigate in this way an eighth of an acre. As some of the plants are apt to rot off in winter,
the plantation should be laid dry two or three times a year, and all weeds and decayed parts removed, and
vacancies filled up. Cress grown in this way, however, is" far inferior to that grown in a living stream flowing
over gravel or chalk.
The water-cress has lately been cultivated in the neighbourhood of Paris, and also near Edinburgh.
1384 Lepiocarpeea. From Xtrros, slender, and xec^-ron, fruit. A genus distinguished from Sisymbrium by
its decumbent cotyledons.

ami Miscellaneous Particular*.
1385. Sotocrras. Prom ►*«,-, the back, and *s?a»-, a horn. The structure of the pod of this genus is inter-
mediate between Erysimum and tapsella. The species arc small annuals, with very minute flowers, which are
sometimes apetalous.
1386. Barbarea. A name used by I )odoens, because the plant had been called the herb of St Barbara bv
some preceding botanists. B. vulgaris i- somebmei cultivated as a spring salad, but is much less delicate than
the common cress, and has nothing in flavor to recommend it. IS. precox, the American or Bellcisie cress of
gardeners, is preferred to the other, and cultivated in a number of gardens.
1387. Braya. A curious little plant, with the habit of Aral.is ucrulca. Leaves are linear, racemes terminal,
(lowers purple 1 he genus is not completely known ; but it appears to l>c intermediate between Siliquosa and
Sihculoss; related to Draba on one hand, and Arabis on the other. It is a native of the Carinthian alps
where it was lound by Dr. Hoppe, who named it after Count Bray, a German nobleman
1388. l'arrya. Named by Mr. R. Brown, after Captain Edward Parry, the commander of the British expe-
ditions to discover the north-west passage round America. It was found upon Melville island, and once Wat
raised from seeds brought home by some of the officers, but it never flowered, and is now lost.
1389. Turritis. From lurris, a tower j the leaves and seeds giving the stem a pyramidal form. This genus
is principally distinguished from Arabis uy its seeds being in two rows, and by its habit
1390. Arabis. Native of Arabia, according to DeTheis ; but this is a forced explanation, and scarcely the
true root of the word. Distinguished from all the neighbouring genera by its linear compressed tiliquet, and
flat valve.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1391. Macropodium So named because the pod is elevated above the receptacle upon a stalk ; uayco;, long
and tw, a foot or stalk. A genus differing from Arabis chiefly in its stalked pod, and its calvx being a little
thickened at the base. A little, smooth, erect, simple herb, with ovate, lanceolate, acuminate leaves, and white
flowers.
1392. Cardamine. From xccehc, the heart, and l«.u.au, to strengthen, in allusion to its supposed stomachic
qualities. The leaves of C . pratensis were formerly used in salads. C. impatiens is so named from the sudcien
bursting of the seed pods, being ripe and pressed between the fingers. C. pratensis frequently has double
.we,rS' Jr rir*uta and. .it is said, other species, produce young plants from the leaves. All that is necessary
is to lay the leaf on a moist grassy surface, or on moss kept moist The plant propagates itself extensively in
this way in moist soils. '
139S. Pteroneuron From TT?f->v, a wing, and riven, a nerve, in allusion to the winged nerves of the pofls, by
which it is distinguished Irom Dentana and Cardamine.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture^
1398. Berteroa. Named after Charles Joseph Bertero, a pupil of Balbis, and a friend of M. Decandolle, who
speaks in high terms of his merits. A genus distinguished from its allies by its bifid petals and peculiar habit.
1399. Aubrietia. Named by Adanson, after Aubriet, the famous French botanical draughtsman. A genus
very distinct in habit, and sufficiently different from Berteroa in its' entire petals, and from Alyssum in its
bisaccate calyx and oblong fruit
1400. Vesicaria. From vesica, a blister or bladder. The silicles of this genus are inflated like small bladders.
This is a genus which combines species with bisaccate and an equal calyx, with entire and toothed stamens,
with edged or not edged seeds, and with a deciduous or persistent calyx. It will, therefore, require division
hereafter.
1401. Alyssum. From a, privative, and \vmra., rage ; the Alyssum passed among the ancients for a plant
which possessed the properties of allaying anger. The aki><r<rov of l)io:>corides is referred by Spronfrei to
A. alpestre. The species are shewy plants, of easy culture. A. saxatile is very ornamental early in the season.

History, Use, Propagation, Otutvre,
Hi ft. Cochlearia. From cochlear, a spoon. The leaves are hollowed and concave like the bowl of a
spoon. The annual species were formerly used as spring salads and antiucorbutics, but are now generally
neglected.
C. armoracia, the horse radish, is cultivated as a condiment to roast bu.f. It is called upon the con-
tinent Cran, Cran de Bretagne, Raifort, Reeredyck, &c. &c. Two excellent modes of cultivating it have lately
been described in the Horticultural Transactions, by Knight, a nurseryman, and Judd, a gardener. Both
agree in trenching the soil to a considerable depth, and putting the manure at the bottom of the trench ; but
Knight plants the sets on the surface, and calculates on the root that strikes down to the dung for produce.
Judd, on the other hand, makes holes quite to the bottom of his trenched soil, and in each drops a set, filling
up the hole with wood ashes, rotten tan, or sand, calculating for produce on the shoot made from the set at
the bottom of the hole, up through the sand or ashes to the surface. Judd's mode is the most ingenious, and
appears the best, but either will do extremely well. A moist soil increases the bitter and alkaline flavor of
this and all the Crucifera*.
Common scurvy-grass has powerful medical properties, as antiscorbutic and sialagogue, and stimulating
the digestive organs. For ample details respecting its qualities, consult IVier Coc/il. Descr. lib. 1.. BaRik'ii'.

1408. Thlaspi. From !)>*<v, to compress. The Thlaspi, says Pliny, bears seeds like the lentil, and com-
prised, whence its name. T. arvense, when rubbed, has the smell of garlic.
1409. Cnpstl/a. A diminutive of ca/tsula. This, which is the common shepherd's-purse, has been separated
from Thlaspi on account of its valves not being winged at back.
1410. Ilulihinsia. Named after Miss Hutchins, to whom Sir James Smith was indebted for many commu-
nications of submarine alga? during the progress of his English Kotany.
1411. Teetdalia. Named after Mr. Robert Teeadale, authorofa Catalogue of the Plants growing about
Castle Howard, in the North Riding of Yorkshire, published in the Transactions of the I.innean Society.
Small annual smooth herbs, with revolute leaves, and simple scapes of small white flowers

They are generally pretty plants, and some of them are commonly cultivated In gardens as hardv annuals,
under the name of Candy-tuft ; a name which was originally applied to the I unibellata only, which was tut
discovered In C.india, and called Thlaspi CandMB try Lobej and DodonaMta.
1413. Biscutilla. From Ml sculellti, I double shield, In allusion to the form of its seed-vessel when bursting
Small annual or perennial hispid plants, with small bright yellow flowers. The species are nearly related H
each other, and difficult to distinguish,

1416. Anastattca. Derived from avao-iw,;, resurrection. This plant has been so called because it has the
curious property of recovering its original form, however dry it may be, upon immersion in water. The com-
mon people believe that If you put this in water at the time when a woman first experiences the pains of
childbirth, it will expand at the precise moment when the infant is brought into the world. Commonly called
Rose of Jericho. It grows in the arid wastes of Arabia and Palestine, where it is called kaf mart/am, that is
to say, Mary's hand. J J '
Ull. Cakile. An Arabic word employed by Serapio. Smooth fleshy annual plants, with pinnatifid leaves,

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1422. Sisymbrium. Iitrv^^iov was the name given by the Greeks to some aquatic plant not now recognized.
It appears to have had an agreeable smell. Ovid advises that Venus should be propitiated with garlands
of myrtle, of roses, and of Sisymbrium. S. officinale is a celebrated medicinal plant, and esteemed diuretic,
detersive, and expectorant, and prescribed in asthma and hoarseness, whence the French call it Herbe aux
chautres.
1423. Alliaria. From allium, garlic, in allusion to the smell of the leaves of this plant, for the sake of
which it was formerly used in salads.
1424. Erysimum, Prom igvu, to cure, on account of the salutary effects of this plant in medicine. It is even
now reckoned a powerful cure for the sore throat. The plant of the ancients appears to have been our garden
cress j f< r Pliny says the Gauls called his Erysimum velar, and the garden cress is to this day called vilhar in

1428. Lcpitlium. From ktsns, a scale. The form of the silicles is that of little scales. L. piscidium is used
by the natives of the Society Islands for the purpose of catching fish by inebriating them. It was used by the
English voyagers as a salad, but it was very pungent. L oleraceum is a powerful antiscorbutic, and is found
of great service to the crews of ships visiting New Zealand ; it resembles lettuce in taste, and acts as a moderate
aperient. L. sativum, the common garden cress, is a salad-plant known to every one, and which even the
cook can cultivate on moistened cloth or wool in a moist heat. Watering with water, impregnated with mu-
riatic add gas, or electrifying, will facilitate the germination and developement of the seeds.
142a .F.thionema. So named by Mr. R. Brown, apparently in allusion to some tawny or sunburnt tinge in
the stamens. Froin eti&u, to scorch, and mums, a stamen. Smith.
1430. Isatis. From ura'Ca. to render equal. The plant was believed to destroy, bv its simple application, all
roughness and inequalities of the skin. It was formerly called glastum, from" the Celtic etas, blue, whence
Glastonbury derived its name. The ancient Britons colored themselves with the blue preparation obtained
from this plant, whence they received their appellation, Brit/io being the Celtic word for to paint The I'icts
were so named by the Romans for the same reason. On account of the brightness of its manufactured colors
the Celts called it givetl pucsde, French, at this day), whence the Anglo-Saxons obtained their name of tvaaii
or wad, and the English the word ivoad. I. tinctoria is in occasional cultivation for its leaves, from which a
dye, as a substitute for indigo, is obtained. The seeds are sown on well prepared land in good heart ; fresh broken
old pasture land is preferred ; and the great object is to have large leaves j for which purpose, as Miller observes
the culture given by the best gardeners to spinage should be imitated, that of sowing on a very rich well pul-
verised soil, thinning the plants so as they may not touch each other, keeping them perfectly clear of weeds,
and frequently stirring the soil between the plants. The culture applied to the turnip in Northumberland
would succeed well with woad. The seeds are sown in Julv, and the plants, when they come up, weeded and
thinned ; next July, or earlier, the first crop of leaves may be gathered, and two or three others will be ob-

manure be well fermented, so much the better for the garden turnip ; in the fielns, where it is buried in rows
or drills, more littery dung will succeed.
The field culture of the turnip is become an important part of the agriculture of light soils ; thi
by drills, as in Berwickshire and Northumberland, where are produced crops of treble the weight (
in the broad-cast manner in Norfolk. In the latter county a crop weighs from five to fifteen
the best mode is

in Northumberland from twenty-hve to thirty tons; and in Ayrshire as many as sixty tons have been raised
on the statute acre. (Encyc. of Agric.)
The cabbage has been tried as a field plant ; but, though it has been said by Sinclair (Hortus Gram. Wob.) to
Produce more nutritive matter than cither turnips or field beet, professional farmers have not found it to answer
Of all the Brassica tribe it may be observed, that they attain to much the greatest perfection in temperate
climates, such as those of Britain and Holland. Without constant and liberal supplies of water, they arc small
in size, and rigid or stringy in texture. In France and in Italy, and warm climates, it is only the cauliflower
and broccoli that attain a large size ; and that, in Italy at least, is during the coldest months of the year, and
aided by liberal waterings. But in Tarragona the cauliflower is said to reach the enormous weight of 40 lbs.
1433. Sinapis. In Greek trivavi, said to be derived from nap, the Celtic designation of all plants resembling
the turnip or cabbage. Our English word mustard, and the French moutarde, are modernizations of mustuni
ardens, hot must ; the sweet must of new wine being one of the ingredients of the French mustard for the
table. The seeds of all the species are hot, acrid, and will afford an oil by expression, and a powder or meal
by drying and grinding, which might serve as the condiment mustard. S. nigra is more particularly adapted
for the latter purpose, though it is often mixed with the seeds of S. alba and arvensis, and often with those of the

Braasica and Raphanus genera. Both S. alba and nigra are grown as small salads to be eaten with cress ; they

and forced, or in beds in the Open air, and cut as soon as the seed leaf is fully expanded, lor flower of mus-
tard, or for the seed lor oil or medical purpose*, both while and black sorts are sown in the fields in rich, well
pulverized soil, in March or April, and kept free of weeds. The crop ri|>eiis in July and August, and is cither
threshed immediately or stacked like other grain. It is like other olciferous seeds, exhausting for the soil,
and such seeds as drop and are buried, will retain their vegetative qualities for an unknown length of time;
so that where mustarti has once been grown, it will come up occasionally for a century or more afterwards.
If the seeds. Dr. ( iillen observes, be taken fresh from the plant and ground, the powder has little pungency,
but is very bitter ; by steeping in vinegar, however, the essential oil IS cooled, and the powder becomes ex-
tremely pungent, lii moistening mustard-powder for the table, it may be remarked, that it makes the beat
appearance when rich milk is used , but the mixture in this case docs not keep good for more than two days.
The seeds of both the black and white mustard are often used in an entire state medicinally. Half or a
quarter of a wmc glass of mustard seeds, swallowed fasting, about five in the morning, is the most powerful
tonic and strcngthcncr of the digestive organs which is known.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
143i;. Eruca. The meaning of this word is involved in obscurity. According to Isidore, of Seville, a learned
Spaniard, who died in 63ii, and left a book of etymologies, eruca is an alteration of urica, derived from uro,
to burn. From eruca, the Italians formed ruchelta, the French roqttetta, and the English rochet. E. sativa i»
very pungent in the foliage, and is used as a salad in the South of Europe for its aphrodisiacal powers :
" Excitat ad venerem tardos Eruca marilos."
1437. fella. Latinized from valer, the Gallic name of the cress. A pretty low shrub, with beautiful yellow
llowers appearing in the early spring. It is hardy enough to live through the winter in a dry warm south
border.
1438. Carricldera. An unexplained name, first used by Adanson. A small annual plant, with pinnated
leaves, and long erect racemes opposite to the leaves. Flowers small, pale yellow.
1439. Succowia. In honor of Professor Suckow, a learned botanist of Heidelberg. An annual, with the
habit of the last, from which it differs in its subulate style and solitary seeds.
1440. Zilla. The Egyptian name of the plant, which is a large glabrous herb, with round white branches
and oblong toothed leaves, which are boiled and eaten by the Arabs like those of cabbage.
1441. Calepina. A name used by Adanson, the meaning of which is unknown. This plant has been trans-
ferred by one author or another to almost every genus of Siliculosse, but appears to be really akin to Crambe
only, from which it differs in its sessile and purely unilocular silicic, in its stamens having no teeth, and in
the" outer petals being larger than the others.
1442. Crambe. One of the names applied by the (irccks to the cabbage, and especially to the marine
i abbage. C. maritima grows un sandy shores in the west of England, and there the common people have from
lime immemorial been in the practice of watching when the shoots and leafstalks begin to pusn up the sand

This class is distinctly characterized by the tilaments being united together throughout the whole or a part
ol' their length ; .mil tot the most part consists of plants belonging to the natural orders of Malvaceae and
Geraniacea;. Of Ir.e tormer, the major part arc of little moment, consisting, in a great measure, of weeds or
worthless shn.bs of various parts of the world. Among them, however, are some plants both of interest and
ornament, especially the beautiful Astrapxa, and the various species of Bombax and Hibiscus. The Goes*.
pium, so important as producing the material of cotton, and the Adansonia or Baobab tree of Africa, remark
able for its immense size and use as an article of food, are found in this class. The Geranium, Camellia ami
Passion flower are also genera of much beauty ; the latter yielding the well known West Indian fruit called
the Granadilla. The common Tamarind, with which this class commences, would more properly be placed in
the next, and the succeeding genera of Patersonia, Tigridia, Ferraria, and Galaxia, are in every respect, ex-
cept the union of their tilaments, referable to the third class.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1449. Tamarindus. Latinized from the Arabic name Tamer-hindy, or Indian date. This tree is a native ^1
the East and West Indies, of Arabia, and Egypt. It is a large beautiful spreading tree. The leaves are
abruptly pinnate, composed of sixteen or eighteen pairs of sessile leaflets, half an inch only in length, and one
6ixth of an inch broad, of a bright green color, downy, oblong, entire, and obtuse: the Bowers are in loose
bunches of five or six, which come out from the sides of the branches : the calyx is of a straw yellow color,
and deciduous : the petals also yellowish, and beautifully variegated with red veins ; ovate, concave, acute,
indented, and plaited at the edge ; and the filaments purplish, bearing incumbent brownish anthers : the pods
are thick, compressed, and of a dull brown color when ripe: those from the West Indies from two to five
inches long, with two, three, or four seeds : those from the East Indies are twice as long, and contain five, six,
or seven seeds : the seeds in both are flat, angular, shining, and lodged in a dark pulpy matter.
In the West Indies, the pods are gathered in June, July, and August, when fully ripe ; and the fruit being
freed from the shelly fragments, is placed in layers in a cask, and boiling syrup poured over it, till the cask is
filled ; the syrup pervades every part quite down to the bottom ; and when cool the cask is headed for sale.
(.Long's Jamaica, iii. 729.) The East India tamarinds are darker colored and drier, and are said to be pre-
served without sugar. Tamarinds are inodorous, and have an agreeable acid sweetish taste. The acid taste
chiefly depends on the citric acid, the quantity of that being greater than of the other. The pulp is refrigerant,
and gently laxative. The simple infusion of the pulp in warm water, or a whey made by boiling it in milk,
forms a very grateful refrigerant beverage, which is advantageously used in febrile diseases. The dose of the
simple fruit required to act upon the bowels is so large, that it is seldom given alone as a purgative, but is
generally combined with cassia or manna, the action of which it augments, or with such of the neutral
purgative salts as are not decomposed by it ; which is the case with those that have potass for their base, and
are therefore incompatible in mixtures with this fruit. (Thompson's London Dispensatory, 534.)
The plants thrive in loam and peat, and root under a glass in sand. They form handsome objects, but in our
stoves arc seldom allowed sufficient room to flower. Miller says, he had several plants twenty years old, and
upwards, of f.fteen feet high, which never had shewed blossoms.

1450. Patersonia. Named after Colonel William Paterson, a gentleman whose remarks on the Cape of Good
Hope, New Holland, and Norfolk Island, have been of much service to botany. Handsome plants, which grow
readily in loam and peat, and are increased like other herbaceous vegetables'
1451. Fcrraria Named after Jean IJaptiste Ferrari, an Italian botanist, author of a work on the culture
of flowers, published in \tx">, &c. According to Sweet, " a mixture of sandy loam and peat is the best soil for
the species, and they should be kept without water, after they have donegTowing, till thev begin to grow-
again, when they may be planted in fresh pots and regularlv watered : thev are increased by offsets from the
bulbs, or by seeds." [Hot. Cult. 192.)
1452. Tigridia. In allu-ion to the spotted flowers, which are marked something like the skin of a tiger
Splendid plants, and tolerably hardy. They do best when planted in the soil and protected by a frame or
hand-glass ; but will also thrive in sheltered borders, provided they are protected from the winter's IVmt
They ripen seeds, from which, or trmn offsets, thev mav be readilv llll H MUI
l+o.;. Galiiria. Thunberg, the author of the name, has not explained its meaning. Like other plants of
the bulbous kind, these should be kept dry after flowering and seeding. At the return of the growing
season, they should be frcMi potted, and kept in a cool part of the greenhouse till tbov arc well rooted, when
they may be put into a warmer situation anil regularly watered Thev seed freely
144 iValthrria In memory of Augnatm r rider. Walther, professor of medicine at I^ipsic ; author of
Hortus Propriut, 17 15. The species grow in any light rich soil, and are readily propagated. They are of no
importance.
1455. llermannia. In memory of Paul Hermann, who practised physic in Cevlon, and at the Cape of
Good Hope, and was afterwards professor of botany at Leydcn. He was born in 1610, at Halle, in Saxony,
and died in lti!i5. The species are low shrubs, for the most part, with wrinkled leaves and yellow flowers,
which they produce in abundance. They grow freely in any light rich soil, and are readily increased in the

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1456. Melochia According to Forskahl, it is an alteration of the Arabic name melochieh, or melokhieh.
Light rich soil suits all the species, and they strike readily in moist heat.
1457. Melhania. A plant which grows upon Mount Me/ham, in Arabia. Pretty plants, which grow in sandy
loam, and root in sand under cover. Sweet observes, that " thev are verv apt to become covered with insects "
1458. Ochroma. From <*xe»s, yellow, the flowers being of that color, according to Schreber. O. Lagopus is
a very large tree, with divaricating branches, and leaves more than a foot long. The wood is white, tender,
and so light, that it is used instead of corks to nets. The capsules contain a very soft fine rufous down, in
which the seeds are involved, and which down is said to be used in the manufacture of English beavers
(Desportes Plantes de S. Vomingue, iii. 16.)
1459. Passiflora. This genus has been so named, on account of its being supposed to represent, in the
appendages of its flower, the passion of Jesus Christ. A beautiful genus of climbers, partly herbaceous, but
chiefly sutirutescent or woody; and all of them exotics and verv ornamental. Some species are odoriferous ;
others bear edible fruits, fleshy juicy berries of considerable size, though not rich in flavor. Of late, a number
of hybrid sorts have been raised, some of w hich, as P. ca?ruleo-racemosa, are considered more beautiful than
almost any of the natural species.
P. maliformis, the sweet calabash of the West Indies, produces large flowers, red, white, and blue, but of
short duration. They are succeeded by fruit, roundish, the size of a large apple, yellow when ripe, having a
thicker rind than any of the other sorts; inclosing a sweetish pulp, in which are lodged many oblong black
»eeds, of a brownish color, a little rough to the touch. It grows naturally in the West Indies, where the
inhabitants call it Granadilla. The fruit is served up there in desserts. It has borne fruit in the garden of the
Bishop of Durham in Oxfordshire, and at Vere's, Kensington Gore. (Hort. Trans, iii. 101.)

mixed immediately with wine or spirits ; and the composition is generally thought a very effectual and easy
narcotic
P. incarnata, the May apple, has a perennial root, herbaceous shoots, and sweet-scented flowers, variegated
with purple. The fruit is about the size of an apple, orange-colored, with a sweetish yellow pulp, but it
requires the heat of the stove to bring it forward.
P. cserulea is the tallest and most ligneous of the species. The stem will grow almost as large as a man's
arm, and the shoots will often grow the length of fifteen feet in one summer. The leaves are the most elegant
of the genus. The flowers are blue outside, and purple and white within : they have a faint scent, and con-
tinue but for one day. The fruit is egg-shaped, of the size and color of the Mogul plum, the yellow skin of
which encloses a sweetish disagreeable pulp and black seeds.
Besides the species thus enumerated, some varieties have been procured by cross impregnation, which are
very remarkable for their beauty, and for having acquired the hardihood of their parent The most valuable
of these artificial productions, is the P. ciruleo-racemosa, raised by Mr. Milne, of Fulham, from seed
of P. racemosa impregnated by P. ca;rulea, and figured in the Transactions of the Horticultural Society,
vol.3, tab. 3., and the P. alato-ca?rulea, obtained by Mr. J. H. Masters of Canterbury, between P. alata of the
West Indies, and P. ca?rulea.
AU the species grow and flower freely in a mixture of loam, and light rich earth or peat, with plenty of
room. Most of them fruit in the stove, but the P. caerulea seldom fruits in the greenhouse. They are all
easily increased either by seeds or very young cuttings, in a close moist heat
As fruit-bearing plants the Passifloras are thus treated :— " Having procured plants with good roots, plant
such as are intended to fruit in a border in the stove, and train them to a trellis near the glass ; they will in
general produce fruit the second year. The seedlings of the P. incarnata, will produce fruit the first year. All
the species will fruit even in large pots ; but Sabine says, the " best method is to plant them in an angle of the
bark-bed, which has been parted off", either by boards or brick-work, as low as the pit goes. At the bottom of

the cavity formed by this division, should be laid some brick-rubbish, over which may be thrown a little dead
tan, and the whole be then tilled with equal parts of very old tan, and a compost of leaf-mould and rotten
dung. Herein the roots will strike freely, and will even spread through the partition into the pit, growing into
the fresh tan. Such roots may be trimmed and reduced whenever the tan is changed ; but should the plant
have lieen some time in its station, it will be as well to leave part of the old Un in the bottom of the pit, in
which the protruded roots may remain undisturbed. They do not require the full heat of the pine stove, for
they flourish best in a temperature of from sixty-five to seventy degrees ; but they do not bring their fruit to
perfection If kept m a common greenhouse or conservatory, though they will grow and flower in it. The
shoots, as they advance, must be trained near to and under the inclined glass of the stove: the flowers
will appear in May, and the blooming will continue until September, the fruit setting the whole time ; but if
it does not set well, it will lie advisable to impregnate the stigmas by applying the pollen with a feather. As
they grow, the very strong shoots should be cut out from their origin, for these do not bear fruit so abundantly
as those which are less vigorous ; but the fruiting branches must not be shortened on any account The tem-
perature must be kept up equally during the time of flowering and fruiting. The crop will begin to come in
in August, and will continue until January ; but the earlier produce is the best When the crop is all oil',
which will be early in January, the heat must be reduced to about fifty degrees, so as to check or stop the
growth ; this being effected, the shoots must be well cut in. As little old wood as possible, besides the main
stem, which rises from the pit to the glass, and a few pieces (about two or three feet of each) of the old
branches should be retained ; far all that is to be trained under the glass to bear in each year, ought to be the
growth of the same season. It is found that the shoots break better, and in greater quantity, from the older
mod than from that of two years' standing. In this dormant and reduced state it is to be kept during
January and February, after which the necessary heat may be applied to cause it to resume its functions for
the ensuing season." {Hort. Traiu. iii. and iv.)

History, Un; Propagation, Culture,
1460. Erodium. From izailjto;, a heron, because the fruit resembles the head and breast of that bird. The
species are hardy plants, of common treatment, and no great beauty.
1461. Pelargonium. So called from *i\«.°yos, a stork, in allusion to the beak of the fruit, which resembles
the bill of that bird ; as well as to preserve an analogy with the Geranium or Crane's-bill. It was detached
by the late learned botanist Mons. L'Heritier, along with Erodium, from the Linnean genus Geranium ; and
distinguished by its seven fertile stamens, irregular flower, tubular nectary, and spiral-leaved awns, or beaks
to the capsule.
" This vast and favorite genus, for which we are almost entirely indebted to the Cape of Good Hope, con-

The bulbous or fleshy stemmed species are generally very rare in collections, and are far more interesting
than the common or vulgar kinds. They arc distinguished by so peculiar a habit and constitution, that there
can be little doubt of the propriety of separating tliem into one or more distinct genera, as has been done
already by the authors quoted above ; especially as the i banctetl upon which they are founded, are generally
more certain than those by which Krodium and Geranium are defined. Here, however, they are placed as

tt.le among the Romans, but what species is uncertain A tree ol the mallow kind is said, by Prosper
Alpiiitis, to afford food to the Egyptians; and the Chinese use some sort of mallow as food.
All the species art ol the ca iest culture and propagation.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1473. Kttaibeha. Named after Dr. Paul Kitaibel, professor of botany at Pest, in Hungary, and author, in
conjunction with Count Waldstein, of a noble work upon the plants of that country. A tall mallow-like plant
with vine-like leaves, and white flowers.
1474. Attluea. From a.x3-a,, to cure. The salutary effects of the mucilaginous root, are well known in
medicine. Guimauve, Fr. A. officinalis has long been in repute as a demulcent. Its roots are sometimes
used as an emollient suppurative cataplasm ; and a decoction of the leaves forms a useful fomentation in
external abrasions, and in cutaneous eruptions, accompanied with a sharp ichorous discharge.
A. rosea is the parent of nearly twenty splendid varieties of border flowers, which seed readily, and the off-
spring generally resembles the parent variety. All the species are of the easiest culture in common garden soil.
1475. Lavatera. In memory of two Lavaters, physicians of Zurich, neither the physiognomist, but two
friends of Tournefort. The species resemble those of Malva, in general appearance and culture : much the
handsomest is L. arborea, which is a magnificent plant in shrubberies, or in the back of wide borders.

and Miscellaneous Particulars,
1476. Malachra. A name under which Pliny speaks of a tree from the north of Persia, producing a certain
gum. It had no reference to the plant called Malachra by the moderns. Sow in light rich soil, and trans-
plant as with other stove annuals. . . . ,
1477. L'rena, the vernacular name in Malabar. The species are of easy culture, seed freely, or may be pro-
pagated bv cuttings in sand under a hfnd-glass.
147s Pavonia In honor of Don Jose Pavon, the companion of Dombcv, in his voyage to Peru, and one of
theauthorsof Flora Peruviana. The species are free-growers, and seed readily: they arc also increased by
°" lil<f "stchania. From »X"»t*i closi;<1 i "O called because the corolla does not open out as in most Malvaceous
plants, but remains always rolled together. . - . —

bark of the ligneous sorts may be manufactured into mats or cordage. Of H. tiliaceus, in the island of
Otaheite, they make matting of the bark, as fine as our coarse cloth ; also ropes and lines, from the size of
an inch to that of a small packthread; and fishing nets. (Hawks. Voy. ii. 217.) Forster informs us, they also
suck this bark for food, when the bread-fruit fails them : and in New Caledonia, the inhabitants frequently
subsist on it, though it is an insipid food, aflbrding very little nourishment.
H. Rosa-sinensis is extremely common in the gardens of China, and the East Indies ; lint its native country
is unknown. Loureiro, however, affirms, that it is spontaneous as well as cultivated both in China and
Cochin-China ; and that it is so common in the latter, that they have entire hedges of it to their gardens. It
has been long known from its appearance on Chinese screens and paper hangings. The variety with double
flowers is most frequently cultivated, both in the East and in European hothouses : the plant is, indeed, rarely
seen with single floivcrs. {Smith, spicil.)
H. syriacus is one of our most beautiful hardy shrubs, the more valuable as it is a frcc-flowerer, will grow
in common garden soil, and propagates freely by seeds, layers, and even by cuttings.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1481. Gossypium. Pliny says, that in Upper Egypt, on the borders of Arabia, grew a shrub called gossypion
or xylon. Its fruit enclosed a sort of soft white wool, of which the garments of the Egyptian priests were
manufactured. Golius remarks, that goz, which expresses in Arabia, a silky substance, may be the root of
the word. An important genus, as furnishing the down used in the cotton manufacture. This down is
found lining the capsules which contain the seeds. There are several species cultivated for this purpose in
different parts of the world. G. herbaceum is the only species cultivated in Europe, especially in the Levant,
and in Malta, Sicily, and Naples : it is also grown in many parts of Asia.
G. hirsutum is occasionally grown in the West Indies ; but G. barbadense is the prevailing species there.
In the East Indies and China, G. herbaceum and arboreum are cultivated, and some other species, especially
that which produces the nankeen-colored down, not yet introduced to Europe. An oil is obtained from the
seeds of all the species, while those of the G. herbaceum are eaten in the Levant, and esteemed wholesome and
nutritive.
In the Levant, the herbaceous cotton is sown in well prepared land in March, in lines at three feet distance,
and the patches of seeds two feet apart in the lines. The pi- nts are thinned out to two or three in a place,
and the earth is stirred by a one-horse plough, or by manual labor with hoes, and irrigated once or twice a
week by directing the water along the furrows between the rows. The flowering season is generally over about
the middle of September, and then the ends of the shoots are pinched off' to determine the sap to the capsules.
The capsules are collected by hand as they ripen, a tedious process, which lasts till the end of Nevember. The
cotton and the seeds are then separated by manual labor, and the former packed in bales or bags for sale. The
seeds are bruised for oil or eaten, and a portion kept for sowing.
The Barbadoes cotton plant is sown in the West Indies in rows, about five feet asunder, at the end of
September, or the beginning of October ; at first but slightly covered, but after it is grown up, the root is well
moulded. The soil should not be stiff' nor shallow, as this plant has a tap-root. The ground is hoed fre-
quently, and kept very clean about the young plants, until they rise to a moderate height. It grows from four
to six feet high, and produces two crops annually ; the first in eight months from the time of sowing the seed ;
•he second, within four months after the first ; and the produce of each plant is reckoned about one pound
weight. The branches are pruned or trimmed alter the first gathering ; and if the growth is over luxuriant,

this should be done sooner. When great part of the pods are expanded, the wool is picked, and afterwards
cleared from the seeds by a machine called a gin, composed of two or three smooth wooden rollers of about
one inch diameter, ranged horizontally, close and parallel to each other, in a frame; at each extremm they
arc toothed or channelled longitudinally, corresi>ondii>g one with the other; and the central roller' being
moved with a treaddle or foot-lath, resembling that of a knife-grinder, makes the other two revolve in con-
trary directions. The cotton is laid in small quantities at a time upon these rollers, whilst they are in motion
and readily passing between them, drops into a sack placed underneath to receive it, leaving the seeds, which
are too large to pass with it, behind. The cotton thus separated from the seeds, is afterwards hand-picked
and cleansed thoroughly from any little particles of the pods or other substances which may be adhering to it
It is then stowed in large bags, where it is well trod down, that it mav tie close and compact; and the better
to answer this purpose, some water is every now and then sprinkled upon the outside of the bag; the
marketable weight of which is usually three hundred pounds. An acre mav be expected to produce from
two hundred and forty pounds to that quantity ; or two hundred and seventv pounds on an average (Lo/ie's

History, L'se, Propagation, Culture,
1488. Lagunea. Named after Andreas Laguna, a Spanish naturalist, who published, in 1543, a work upon
plants. It may be treated like other tender annuals.
1489. Ruixia. In honor of Don Hippohto Ruiz, author of Quinologia, Madrid, 1792. and other works, and,
in conjunction with Pavon, of the famous flora Peruviana. A plant of easy culture, but of little merit.
1490. Carolinea. Named by the younger Linnaeus, in honor of the Princess Sophia Caroline, of Baden ; a
name which, he says, will always be cherished by botanists. A splendid family, which thrive in loam ; and
large cuttings, well clothed with leaves, root in sand under a hand-glass.
1491. Adansonia. In honor of Michel Adanson, a famous French botanist, born in 1727, and author of
various works, of which his voyage into Senegal, and Families des Plantes, are the most remarkable. He was an
eccentric man, but certainly far more learned for his time than many of his modern detractors. Monkits'-
bread, or Boabab, is considered the largest or rather broadest tree in the world. Several measured by Adanson
were from sixty-rive to seventy-eight feet in circumference, but not extraordinary high. The trunks were
from twelve to fifteen feet high, before they divided into many horizontal branches, which touched the ground
at their extremities ; these were from forty-live to rifty-rive feet long, and were so large, that each branch crag
equal to a monstrous tree ; and where the water of a neighbouring river had washed away the earth, so as to.
leave the roots of one of these trees bare and open to the sight, they measured one hundred and ten feet long,
without including those parts of the roots which remained covered. It yields a fruit which resembles a gourd,
and which serves for vessels of various uses ; the bark furnishes a coarse thread, which they form into ropes,
and into a cloth, with which the natives cover their middle from the girdle to the knees ; the small leaves
supply them with food in a time of scarcity, while the large ones are used for covering their houses, or, by
burning, for the manufacture of good soap. At Sierra Leone this tree does not grow larger than an orchard
apple-tree.
The ligneous part of this tree appears to be of little or no use as timber. In our stoves it grows in rich soil
in heat, and cuttings root in sand, covered and plunged.
1492. Bombaz. Prom jgo/i*/3i/|, one of the Greek names of the cotton ; the seeds of the plants now so called
are enveloped in a cottony substance. B. pentandrum bears oval fruit larger than a swan's egg, having a
thick woody cover, which, when ripe, opens in rive parts, and is lull of a short dark cotton, inclosing many
roundish seeds as large as small peas.
B. Ceiba has a spiny trunk, and is one of the tallest trees of both Indies ; but the wood is very light, and not
much valued, except for canoes. Their trunks are so large as, when hollowed, to make very large ones. In
the West Indies they frequently carry from fifteen to twenty hogsheads of sugar, and from six to twelve-
hundred weight each. When sawn into boards, and then well saturated with lime-water, the wood bears
ex '.wire to the weather many years ; it is also formed into laths for roofs, curing-pots, and hogshead-heading.
W'nen the tree decays, it becomes a nest for the Macaca beetle, the caterpillar of which, gutted and »ri«d, 5s
esteemed by many persons one of the greatest delicacies. The doun which is enclosed in the seed-vessels is
seldom used, except by the poorer inhabitants to stuff' pillows or chairs ; and it is generally thought unwhole-
some to lie upon.

14:>4. Gordimia. In memory of James Gordon, an eminent nurseryman at Mile-End, near London, a
correspondent of Linnaus and other eminent botanists, and the introducer and successful cultivator of many
new plants G. Lasiant bus (woolly flower, from >.a.<rio; and <rvS-«l, the loblolly-bay, is said to grow naturally
in w.iter or very moist situations. Miller, on that account, was unsuccessful in keeping the plant Gordon
and Lee, who, as Ellis relates, {Corres. with Limuvus) were better cultivators than Miller, were pro-
bably more successful. Sweet says, the s|>ecies are hardy enough to bear our winters in the open air ; but the
young shoots often get injured, and the summer is not long enough to flower them in perfection ; it is there-
fore better to treat them as greenhouse plants. Peat soil suits them licst, and a little loam mixed with it :
they are readily propagated by layers, or ripened cuttings may be struck in sand under a hand-glass. {Bat

names by -which tea is known, the Chinese know nothing ; and the compounds and names are supposed to be
made and given by the merchants at Canton, who, from the great number of varieties brought to them, have
an ample opportunity of doing so. Formerly it was thought that green tea was gathered exclusively from
C. viridis ; but that is now doubtful : though it is certain there is what is called the green tea district, and the
black tea district ; and the varieties grown in the one district differ from those grown in the other. Dr.
Abel was told by competent persons, that either of the two plants will afford the black or green tea of the
shops, but that the broad thin-leaved plant (C. viridis) is preferred for making the green tea.
The tea leaves being gathered, are cured in houses which contain from five to ten or twenty small furnaces,
about three feet high, each having at the top a large flat iron pan. There is also a long low table covered with
mats, on which the leaves are laid, and rolled by workmen, who sit round it : the iron pan being heated to a
certain degree by a little fire made in the furnace underneath, a few pounds of the fresh-gathered leaves are
put upon the pan ; the fresh and juicy leaves crack when they touch the pan, and it is the business of the
operator to shift them as quick as possible with his bare hands, till they become too hot to be easily endured.
At this instant he takes off the leaves with a kind of shovel resembling a fan, and pours them on the mats
before the rollers, who, taking small quantities at a time, roll them in the palm of their hands in one
direction, while others are fanning them, that they may cool the more speedily, and retain their curl the
longer. This process is repeated two or three times, or oftener, before the tea is put into the stores, in order
that all !;he moisture of the leaves may be thoroughly dissipated, and their curl more completely preserved.
On every repetition the pan is less heated, and the operation performed more closely and cautiously. The tea
is then separated into the different kinds, and deposited in the store for domestic use or exportation.
The different sorts of black and green arise not merely from soil, situation, or the age of the leaf; but after
winnowing the tea, the leaves are taken up in succession as they fall ; those nearest the machine being the
heaviest, are the gunpowder tea ; the light dust the worst, being chiefly used by the lower classes. That which
is brought down to Canton then undergoes a second roasting, winnowing, packing, &c, and many hundred
women are employed for these purposes.
As more select sorts of tea, the blossoms of the C. sasanqua appear to be collected ; the buds also appear to
be gathered in some cases. By far the strongest tea which Dr. Abel tasted in China, was that called yutien,
used on occasions of ceremony. It scarcely colored the water, and on examination was found to consist of
buds and half expanded leaves of the plant.
As substitutes for tea used by the Chinese, may be mentioned a species of moss common to the mountains
of Shan-tung, an infusion of ferns of different sorts, and Dr. Abel thinks the leaves of the common camellia
and oil camellia may be added. Du Halde observes, that all the plants called tea by the Chinese, are not to
be considered as the true tea plant ; and Karnpfer asserts, that in Japan a species of Camellia, as well as the
Olea fragrans, is used to give it a high flavor.
The oil-bearing Camellia, C. oleifera, is cultivated for its seeds, from which an oil is expressed, in very
general use in the domestic economy of China. It grows best in a red sandy soil, attaining the height of six
or eight feet, and producing a profusion of white blossoms and seeds. These seeds, as well as those of any of
the other species, are reduced to 3 coarse powder, which is stewed or boiled in bags, and then pressed, when
the oil is yielded. (Dr. Abel's Nar. 176.)
The culture of the tea Camellias in our greenhouses is very simple. The plants are very hardy, and may be
preserved in a pit without fire-heat ; they grow in loamy soil, or loam and peat well drained, and increase
freely by layers, or cuttings of the young wood taken off when it begins to ripen, planted in sand, and
covered with a hand-glass in a cool frame or pit.
C. japonica, in the groves and gardens of Japan, is a lofty tree, much admired for its fine form, rich clothing
of shining deep green foliage, and elegant red or white flowers, single or double. It is equally admired in

China at in Japan, and much cultivated in both countries. It is of frequent occurrence in Chinese Daintinirs
with Hibiscus and Chrysanthemum, two of their great favorites. There are several varieties of C japonica*
in ( hina, most of which have been untried here, and their number considerably increased and daily in
creasing, from seedlings raised in this country. The double n hite, double striped, and double Waratah from
the central petals resembling those of the Waratah plant of New Holland, Telopea speciosissima . are con-
sidered the grandest and most marked varieties, and are also free-growers and flowerers ; the pa-on'y flowered
and fringed white, are also standard beauties ; but all are much admired.
The single red Camellia is propagated by cuttings, layers, and seeds, for stocks ; and on these the other sorts
are generally inarched, and sometimes budded or grafted. The cuttings are formed of ripened or ripening
shoots, taken off in August, cut smoothly across at a joint or bud, two or three of the lower leaves only taken
off, and the cuttings then planted and made firm with a small dibber, in pans of sand or loam or by some
cultivators, sand and peat, or sand alone. The pans are kept in a pit or cold frame, without being' covered with
glass, but shaded during powerful sunshine ; and in the following spring such as are struck will begin to push
when they are to be placed in a gentle heat. In September or October following, the rooted plants will be fit
to pot off; and in the second or third spring they may be used as stocks Such is the practice in the Loiu'on
nurseries. Henderson, of Woodhall, near Edinburgh, puts in Camellia cuttings at anytime of the year
excepting when they are making young wood. He puts fifty cuttings in a pot of sand eight inches in diameter'
sets them in a cool place in the back of a vinery or |>each-house for a month or six weeks, and then plunges
them to the brim in a hot-bed where is a little bottom heat. A speedy mode of obtaining stocks is by 0131111111;
stools in a pit devoted to that purpose, and laying them in autumn ; the following autumn most of the 1 lyert
will have produced rooU, when they may lie taken oh" and potted, and used as Stock* in the succeeding spring
Inarching or grafting is performed early in spring, when the plants begin to grow ; the chief care requisite is
so to place and fix the pot containing the stock, as that it may not be disturbed during the connection of the
scion with the parent plant. The graft being clayed over, is then covered with moss to prevent its cracking
When independent grafting is reaorted to, the mode caned side grafting is often used; but the operation ,,f
Umgueing is generally omitted, as weakening the st-..k and unnecessary, with a view to prevent the scion
from being blown off A tew seeds are sometimes obtained from the single red and semi-double Camellias
and from the single Waratah ; these require two years to come up, but make the best stocks of any
Before they are grafted they are often allowed to come into flower, in case some new variety should lie pro
duced; but the best cultivators, as Messrs. Ixiddiges, Sweet, and Mackav, regularly cross.impre-nate the
blossoms in Knight's manner, by cutting out the stamens before the anthers are mature, and when the stigma
is in a proper state, dusting it with the pollen of the species or variety intended as the male parent
C Sasanqua seeds most readily, and is mostly employe! as the female parent for raising new varieties The
plants, if well treated, flower in four or five years, and if nothing new is produced they still make excellent

History, Use, Propagation, Culture
a house should be rather lofty, as the plants never look so well as when six or eight feet high, trained in a
conic form, and clothed with branches from the root upwards. The plants should be raised near to the glass
by means of a stage, which should be so contrived, that, as they advance in height, it may be lowered in pro-
portion : only the very best crown or patent glass should be used ; because it is found from experience, that the
least inequality of surface or thickness of material, so operates on the sun's rays, as to concentrate them, and
burn or produce blotches on the leaves of the plants. Every cultivator must have observed that leathery
shining leaves, like those of the orange, myrtle, &c. are more or less subject to this solar injury ; but the
leaves of the Camellia are particularly so. Some nurserymen recommend a roof which will not admit much
light ; others the use of green glass ; of an opaque roof, with glass in front only ; or of a house facing the
north. Our opinion is, that a light house facing the south, or, better still, glass on all sides, is essential to the
perfect growth of the plants ; and that all solar accidents may be avoided, or at least rendered of no con-
sequence, by using the best glass, and placing the plants as near it as possible.
To grow the Camellia to a high degree of perfection, considerable care is requisite. The roots are very apt
to get matted in the pot, and, by the space they occupy, so to compress the ball of mould, as after a time to
render it impervious to water. Hence frequent attention should be had, to see that the water poured on the
pots moistens all the earth, and does not escape by the sides of the pot, moistening only the web of fibres.
When the plants are in flower and in a growing state, they require to be liberally watered, and also a degree
of heat somewhat greater than is usually given to greenhouse plants. If this heat is not given in November and
December, the plants will not expand their blossoms freely ; and if both water and heat are not regularly
applied after the blossoming season, vigorous shoots and flower-buds will not be produced. To form handsome
plants, they should be trained with single stems to rods, and pruned so as to make them throw out side
branches from every part of the stem : to encourage these, the plants should not be set close together on the
stage. In summer they may either be set out of doors on a stratum of scoria?, or on a pavement, in a sheltered
but open situation ; or the glass roof may be taken ofl- The hardier sorts, as the double red, blush, pa?ony-
flowered, &c. answer very well when planted in the bed or border of a conservatory, provided the roof or
entire superstructure can be removed in summer to admit the full influence of the weather. When this
cannot be done, the Camellia and most other plants are better in portable utensils, which admit both of
examining their roots, and placing them in the open air, or in a greater degree of heat at pleasure. The single
and double red Camellia will endure the open air when trained against a south wall, and protected by mats in
winter; and there can be no doubt that in time these and other species will be more perfectly inured to our
climate.
Henderson of Woodhall gives the following account of his mode of treating the Camellia. " The best time
for a regular shifting of the Camellias is the month of February or beginning of March. After shifting all
those that require it, put them into the peach-house or vinery, when there is a little heat; if there be no
peach-house, vinery, nor pinery, set them in the warmest part of the greenhouse. They will soon begin to
make young wood. From the time they begin to make their young shoots, till they have finished their
growth, give them plenty of water They may be kept in the vinery or peach-house till they have formed
their flower-buds at the extremity and sides of the young growths, when a tew of them may be removed tc ;

Qq3
598 DIADELPHIA. Class XVII.
Class XVII. — DIADELPHIA. Stamens united in two separate parcels.
This class essentially requires, as its name implies, that the stamens should be united in two separate parcels.
These may either be equal, each bearing more anthers than one, as in Smithia, jEschynomene, Fumaria, and
others ; or unequal, one parcel being reduced to a single stamen, and the other bearing several anthers, as in
the greater number of genera included in the class. But besides the plants whose stamens are thus disposed,
it has been the practice to admit other genera having papilionaceous flo.ters, but with their stamens united in
one parcel only, such as Platylobium, Bossia?a, Arachis, and others. The propriety of this measure is extremely
questionable. It has been before remarked in this .fork, that the value of an artificial arrangement of objects
depends wholly upon the precision with which they are referred to those heads or divisions with the characters
of which they agree. If this does not obtain, an artificial system ceases to be useful, and its only merit, that
of facilitating the discovery of the name of a given object, cannot be said to exist. This principle is particularly
applicable to the genera just mentioned. Their artificial character refers them to Monadelphia, but they
are retained in Diadelphia, to which their artificial character does not refer them, because, as is alleged, of the
natural relation which they bear to other genera in Diadelphia. If this reasoning, which is only applicable to
an arrangement of plants according to the.r natural alh'nities, and which has no allowable reference to an arti.
ficial system, were to be admitted, it would follow that Tamarindus, actually included in Monadelphia by the
most eminent Linnean botanists, and all the papilionaceous genera stationed in Decandria, should be referred
hither also. With such objections attaching to the contrivance of this class, it is not easy to understand in
what way it " does honor to the comprehensive powers of Linnseus's mind," as has been somewhere remarked
by one of his most distinguished panegyrists.
The structure of the corolla of plants of this class is, for the most part, with the exception of Fumaria and
its allies, what has been popularly termed papilionaceous; that is to say, it consists of five petals of different
forms and direction, of which the upper, called the vexillum or standard, is larger than the rest, upon which it
is incumbent ; the two lateral, called the alee or wings, are oblong, distinct, and parallel with the ovarium ; and
the two lower, called the carina or keel, are enclosed within the ahe, are also parallel with the ovarium, and
cohere by their lower edges, so as together to form, as it were, one boat-shaped petal. To this common form
of corolla there are, however, some exceptions, as in Amorpha, where the alae and carina are absent, and in
Erythrina, where the alaa are in some cases almost obliterated. InTrifolium the petals all cohere by their claws
into an undivided tube.
With regard to the importance of Diadelphous plants as applicable to the purposes of mankind, they may be
said to hold the very highest rank. All the numerous varieties of pulse, whether eaten by men or cattle, peas,
beans, haricots, caravances, lentils, and others, are all produced by Diadelphous plants. The best of our arti-
ficial grasses, such as clover, nonesuch, cow-grass, lucerne, saintfoin, serradilla, &c. &c, belong to various Dia-
delphous genera. A large proportion of the class also consists of useful and ornamental trees and herbs, which
will be noticed in their respective places.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1506. Sarcocapnos. From raexo;, flesh, and xa-me;, fumitory. So named by Decandolle on account of the
fleshy substance of the leaves of the plants contrasted with those of other allied genera.
1507. Fumaria. From fumus, smoke ; in allusion to the disagreeable smell of the plant The French, with
the same meaning, call it Fumeterre, whence our English word Fumitory. The species are handsome weeds.
F. officinalis was formerly considered a valuable antiscorbutic, and much used in obstructions of the viscera.
1508. Polygala. From troXu, much, and yaXa, milk. Dioscorides says, that the plant was believed to excite
the lacteal secretions in women. The species are handsome free-flowering plants. The greenhouse kinds are
highly ornamental, and some of them continue in bloom all the winter : P. stipulacea all the year. They grow-
freely in sandy loam, or loam and peat ; and are readily increased by cuttings of the young wood, in sand,
under a bell-glass.
P. vulgaris was thought to possess something of the properties of P. Senega. Sir J. E Smith found that an
infusion of the herb taken in a morning, fasting, about a quarter of a pint daily, promoted expectoration, aud
was good in a catarrhous cough. He tried it at Montpeher by the advice of Professor Gouan with success, and
has since known it useful. Foreign writers celebrate it as a grateful and nutritious food for cattle. According
to the Swedish experiments, kine, sheep, and goats eat it, but swine refuse it
P. Senega has a woody, branched, contorted root, about half an inch thick, and covered with ash-colored

bark. It is inodorous ; the taste is at first sweetish and nauseous, but after being chewed for less than a
minute, l>ecomcs pungent and hot, producing a very peculiar tingling sensation in the fauces. Medically, it is
considered stimulating, expectorant, and diuretic, and in large doses emetic and cathartic : it increases absorii-
tion, and consequently augment* the natural excretions, particularly that of urine, and frequently occasions a
copious ptyaltam. It was introduced to the notice of physicians by br. Tennant, who, having discovered that
it was tin- antidote employed !>> the Senegare Indiana against the bite of the rattle-snake, and reasoning from
the effects ol the ikjisoii, an. I <it the remedy in removing these, was induced to try it in pneumonic affections
and found it useful. On account of its stimulant properties, however, it can be employed in these complainta
only after the resolution ol the inflammation by bleeding and evacuations. It proves more directly useful in
humoral asthma, chronic catarrh, and some kinds of dropsy. (Thomson's London Dispensatory, p. 450)
Lt<>9. MuratUa. Nairn. I alter John Von Muralt, a Swiss botanist, who lived in the commencement of the
eighteenth century. Handsome bushes, of easy cultivation in a greenhouse, or even in a good pit.

explanation of the word is given by its author. Pretty little Cape bushes, easily cultivated in a good pit
1.11. Securidaca. from sccuris, a hatchet, in allusion to the form of the end of the pod. It grows freely in
light loam, or loam and peat ; and cuttings root in sand covered with a glass.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1512. Nissolia. In honor of William Nissole, an industrious French botanist. He was a member of the
academy of Montpellier, and author of some papers in its Transactions. He was born in 1647, and died in 1735.
Cuttings root in sand, but not very readily.
1513. Dalbergia. Nicholas Dalberg was surgeon in ordinary to the king of Sweden, and published in 1755
a work upon the Metamorphoses of Plants. Another Dalberg, a pupil of Linnaeus, travelled in Dutch Guiana,
whence he communicated specimens to his preceptor. Ripened cuttings root in sand.
1514. Pongamia. An alteration of the vernacular name of the plant in India.
1515. Pterocarpus. From trrt^m, a wing, and xx%r/>;, fruit. Its pods have membranous wings. P. santalinus
is a lofty tree, with alternate branches, and a bark resembling that of the common alder ; it yields the true
officinal red saunders wood, first detected by Kcenig in India. It is brought home in billets, which are very
heavy, and sink in water. Red saunders wood has an aromatic odor, and is nearly insipid. It is extremely
hard, of a fine grain, takes a high polish, and a bright garnet red color, which deepens on exposure to the air.
It yields its coloring matter, which appears to be of a resinous nature, to ether and alcohol, but not to water.
{Thomson's London Dispensatory, 458.)
The sap yields one sort of Sanguis draconis. Many of the red Indian woods trasude a blood red juice
through the clefts of the bark, which hardens into a red resin, not differing from Sanguis draconis, which,
therefore, is collected from several trees, and from this among others. {Linn. Suppl.) This drug, however, is
chiefly obtained from the P. Draco, and the fruit of Calamus Rotang.
In our stoves these plants thrive in light loamy soil ; and cuttings, with their leaves untouched, will root in
sand under a common hand-glass.
1516. Ecastaphyllum. From txx.ro;, everyone, and ttvWov, a leaf; that is to say, a leaf which is always
simple, and not compounded of several others, as those of neighbouring genera.
1517. Geojffroya. In honor of Eticnne Francois Geoffroi, Memb. Acad. Par., Professor of botany at the Jardin
du Roi, and a foreign member of the Royal Society of London. He was the author of several medical botanical
works, especially of a Materia Medica. He was born in 1672, and died in 1731. A tree, branch v at top, with a
smooth grey bark and pinnate leaves ; and, what is remarkable in papilionaceous plants, a drupe for a fruit.

This drupe is large, subovate, and incloses a woody nut. The bark, which has a mucilaginous sweetish taste
and a disagreeable smell, was first noticed as a vermifuge by l'eter Duguid ; but Dr. Wright, who redded a
longtime at Jamaica, has communicated the fullest information concerning this tree. According to him,
the bark is powerfully medicinal ; and its anthelmintic efl'ects have been established at Jamaica by long
experience.
1518. Diplrrix. From ?if , double, and ttj;i<{, a wing, in allusion to the two appendages of the calyx. A tree
much branched at top, with large alternate pinnate leaves, and racemes of flowers succeeded by almond. like
fruits. The kernels of these are very fragrant, and are nut by the Creoles into chests of clothes, in order to
drive away insects, and communicate a grateful odor. They are in their own country called Ton^a, and are

would be, if the plants stay out till they are in bloom. Cuttings taken oft" at a joint, and planted in sand,
without being deprived of any of their leaves, strike root readily under a hand-glass in moist heat." (But.
Cult. 54.)
1522. Butea. Named in honor of the late Earl of Bute, a munificent patron of botanical science. This
splendid genus, though of free growth and easy propagation, is yet rare in British collections. From B. fron-
dosa is obtained the Gum lac of commerce. Infusions of the flowers dye cotton cloth, previously impregnated
with a solution of alum, or of alum and tartar, of a beautiful yellow color. The plant grows in loam and peat,
and " cuttings should be taken off at a joint, and planted in a pot of sand, without being deprived of any of their
leaves : one pot is enough under a hand-glass, as the leaves take up much room, and, if too confined, are apt
to damp off They should be plunged in a moist heat." (Bot. Cult. : 0.)
1523. Vihorgia ; usually written tViborgia, received its name after M. Eric Viborg, a learned and acute
Danish botanist, author of several botanical treatises in his own language in the end of the eighteenth century.
The species, like those of the four preceding genera, may be treated as Scottia.
1524. Piscidia. From piscis, a fish ; the inhabitants of America use the bark as a fish poison. This tree has
spreading branches and pinnate leaves, and is very common in Jamaica, where it is reckoned one of the best
timber-trees in the island. The wood is very hard and resinous, and lasts almost equally in or out of water.
It is of a light-brown color, coarse, cross-grained, and heavy. (Browne.) It makes excellent piles for wharfs.
The stakes soon form a good live fence. The bark of the trunk is very astringent ; a decoction of it stops
the immoderate discharge of ulcers, especially when it is combined with the mangrove bark ; it cures the
mange in dogs, and would probably answer well for tanning leather. (Long, 824.) The bark of the root is used
for the same purposes and with the same effects as the leaves and branches of Surinam poison ; it is pounded
and mixed with the water in some deep and convenient part of a river or creek, when ce it may spread itself ;

In a few minutes the fish that lie hid under the rocks or banks rise to the surface, where they float as if they
were dead ; most of the large ones recover after a time, but the smaller fry are destroyed. The eel is not in.
toxicati-il with common hums, though it is affected very sensibly ; for the moment the particles spread where
it lies, it morel "ft with great agility. Jacquin observes that this quality of intoxicating fish is (bund in man)

It is a very free grower in our stoves, but is seldom allowed to grow large enough to flower. Cuttings root

the pre.ei t .lay. 1 he pods of this genus are inflated, and rattle, when shaken, in a similar manner. The si»e-
c.es are all pi easy culture, most ly (ree-riowerers ; but they art shabby plants under cultivation, and possess no
good quality which can render them objects of interest or beauty
1531. Bossitea Named by Ventenat, after M. Boissieu-Lan.artiniere, who accompanied the unfortunate
La Perouse in his voyage round the world. This beautiful genus, according to .Sweet, " thrives best in an
equal mixture of sandy loam and peat ; it not very sandy, some timt lurm be added to it to have the plants in
health. The pots must be well drained with broken potsherds, a- nothing injures them more than too much

History, Use, Piopngation, Culture,
1534. Goodia. In memory of Peter Good, an industrious gardener employed by the Kew garden in collect-
ing seeds in New Holland, where he died.
1535. Loddigesia. Named in compliment to Mr. Conrad Loddiges, a successful cultivator of plants, an
assiduous collector, and a most worthy man, whose virtues arc inherited by his sons.
1536. Houea. In honor of Mr. Antony Pantaleon Hove, a Polish botanist, who travelled in the Crimea and
Persia, whence many plants were sent to Kew garden. He is still alive, and naturalized in England. Pretty
plants, easily cultivated in sandy loam and peat, and rooted ic Band under a hand-glass.
1337. Spartium. Prom ma°Tov, cordage ; the earliest ropes were made of this and similar tough plants.
The species are shrubs thicK-set with verdant flexible rush-like twigs, which are very ornamental in
winter, and generally profusely covered with showy white or yellow odoriferous and mellifluous blossoms in
summer. S. junceum is grown as a green food for sheep in the south of France, and there and ill Spain it
affords a thread from its libres, which is sometimes wove into cloth, but more generally twisted into cordage.
Bees are very fond of the flowers, as they are of those of most of the species.
S. monospermum, is a very handsome shrub, remarkable for its numerous snow-white flowers.
Osbeck remarks, that it grows like willow-bushes along the shore of Spain, as far as the flying sands reach,
where scarcely any other plant exists except the Ononis repens, or creeping Kcstharrow. The use of this
shrub is very great in stopping the sand. The leaves ami young branches are delicious food for goats. It
converts the most barren spot into a line odoriferous garden by its flowers, which continue a long time. It
serves to shelter hogs and goats against the scorching heat of the sun. The twigs are used for tying bundles ;
and all kinds of herbs that arc brought to market are fastened together with them. Forskahl found it in
Arabia; and Desfontaines in Barbary, on the sandy coast. The Spaniards call it Retamas, from the Arabic
name Rtetam.

and Miscellaneous Particulars.
opanum, though id some places a troublesome weed in old pastures, is a very ornamental shrub in garden
scenery: it is also useful in agriculture, domestic economy, and medicine. It is sometimes Used as winter
food for sheep, frequently for thatching cottages and ricks, and as litter. Bees are fond of the flowers: the
flower-buds, just before they become yellow, are pickled in the manner of capers : the brain lies are said to I e
capable of tanning leather, and of being manufactured into coarse cloth ; when tender, the) are mixed n ith
hoi* in brewing : the old wood furnishes the cabinet-maker with a beautiful material for' veneering. The
t«,.;N when bruised, smell disagreeably, which perhaps maybe one reason why our broom is generally
rejected by cattle Curtis ; but they have also a nauseous bitter taste. The plant when burnt atfbrds a
tolerably pure alkaline salt. Broom tops are diuretic and cathartic; the seeds are said lobe emetic. The
effects of this plant have been very long known to the common people; and both Mead and (ullen found
them useful in dropsy. The usual mode of exhibiting them is in the form of decoction, made by boil-
ing the green tops in water. Shaking Of this decoction, of which two table spoonfuls were given every
hour till it operated by stool, (ullen says," it seldom fails to operate both by stool and urine, and bj re-
peated exhibition every day, or every second day, some dropsies have Ken cured. [JTtompaon't London Du-
pentaiory, 514.)
Genista. Cm, signifies, in Celtic, a small hush, whence also Genet, French. The species are shrubs
or undersfarubs, some of them evergreen, and many with numerous flexible rush-like green twigs like the
brooms. They are of easy culture and free flow erers. O. tinctoria is common in most parts ol Europe, in
Unimproved pastures on dry gravelly soils. When cows tad on it, their milk, and the butter or chee-e maile
from it, are said to be very bitter A bright yellow color may he prep red li I Dd for

Jonc-martn, Fr., is a beautiful evergreen shrub, which flowers freely, both when wild and cultivated, the
greater part of the year. It abounds in some places, and there it is despised by the common people ; but the
greatest botanists have admired its deep green shoots and leaves, brilliant yellow flowers, and tufted
picturesque shape. About Petersburg, it forms one of their most valuable greenhouse plants, flowering in
winter. Linnams lamented that he could hardly preserve it alive in a greenhouse. Many parts of Germany
are wholly destitute of the furze bush, insomuch that Dillcnius was in a perfect extasy when he first saw our
commons covered with its golden flowers. And Gerard relates, that about Dantzic, Brunswick, and in
Poland, there was not a branch of it growing, except some few plants and seeds that he sent, which were most
curiously kept in their fairest gardens. As an agricultural plant the furze has been sown in several parts of
the island as hedges; but excepting where it occupies a breadth often or twelve feet on a raised mound, it

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
plant by some agricultural writers, as A.Young; and is by others confounded with Birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus
corniculata, and major), and with the Liquorice- vetch [ Astragalus glycyphvllos), to which, to a cursory observer
it bears considerable resemblance. Linnams observes, that in Oeland, where the soil is a red calcareous clay
the flowers of Anthyllis vulneraria are red ; but that in Gothland, where the soil is white, the flowers also are
white : ours are yellow.
A. Barba Jovis is a silvery looking bush, with white and hairy leaves, pale yellow flowers, and woolly
pods. Like most of the Leguminosa?, this genus seeds freely ; but in default of seeds, increase may be
effected by " young cuttings planted under a bell-glass in sand, which are not difficult to root : the glasses
must be kept wiped, or the dew is apt to make them mouldy, which destroys them." (Bvt. Cult. 135 )
1543. Arachis. Aracos, or Aracidna, is a name applied by Pliny to a plant which had neither stem nor
leaves, but was all root. The moderns have applied it to a plant, the fruit of which is borne underground.
The specific name hypogcta {v*o y,„ below ground), is in allusion to the curious circumstance of the pods,
as they increase in size, forcing themselves into the earth, where they ripen their seeds, thence called earth-
nuts. The plant is generally cultivated in the warmer parts of North and South America, but is supposed to
be originally from Atnca. In South Carolina the seeds are used as chocolate; in the eastern countries as
almonds, and in Cochin-China they furnish an oil used for lamps, and as a substitute for oil of olives, \bout
Paris it is raised on hotbeds and transplanted into the open garden, where it ripens its seeds, which are used as
other legumes. It has also been brought to maturity in a stove in England, and proved very prolific. (See
Hurt. Trans, vol. v. p. 372.)

velvet-like leaves ami tine large flowers. They are vigorous growing plants, and most of them would aflbrd
the agriculturist a considerable bulk of herbage.
L albus is supposed to be the species that was cultivated for this purpose by the Romans : though L. luteus
is what is at present grown in the fields in the south of Italy as human food. In the south of Frame, it is
grown in poor dry extensive plains, as a meliorating crop to be ploughed in where no manure is to l>e had,

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
is produced by the twining species. Neither sorts can be safely planted in the open air before the end of
April, or first week of May, and the leaves are blackened by the first frosts of autumn. But in a stove or pit
green pods of the dwarf kinds may be gathered all the winter, and with this advantage over forced produc-
tions ot the fruit kind required to be ripened, that the pods are as good from plants in the stove in midwinter
as from those in the open garden in midsummer. The garden culture of both species is so easy and univer-
sally- known, that we shall not occupy ourselves with details. Though in this country the green pods onlv are
used, on the continent the ripened seeds are as much the object of culture. In Holland, the twiner is grown
in every cottage garden tor both purposes ; and in Prance and Switzerland, it is grown chiefly for the ripened
seeds : in the latter countries it grows on very poor dry soil. On the first blackening of the leaves with frost,
the plants are pulled up, dried like tobacco leaves under the dripping eaves of the houses ; and in winter
threshed out for the seeds, to be boiled and eaten with cream or butter, stewed in haricots, or put in soups.
According to the analysis ot Einhotf, 3S4:i parts of kidney bean afforded 1805 parts of matter analogous to
starch, 857 of vegeto-animal matter, and 799 parts of mucillagc : from which is to be inferred, that it is the
most nourishing ot all the legumes.
The perennial stove species thrive best in a light rich soil, and mav be propagated readilv from cuttings or
from seed. P. caraealla, or Snail-flower, is a very curious species, and will grow and flower freely, if kept
clear from the red spiders. This species was so named by the Portuguese, who first brought it from South
America, in consequence of its hooded flower. Caraealla (from the Celtic words car, a head, and cal, a
covering) was the name of a hooded dress much worn by the Gauls, and gave his nickname to the Emperor
Marcus Aureliu* Antoninus, who was accustomed to wear the dress.

/listory, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1552. Glycine. From yXvxvs, sweet. G. monoica perfects its seeds under ground likft Arachis hvpo>*a?a
Tnfolium subterraneum, and Lathyrus subterraneus. They are all of easy culture, like their preceding and*
following allies. G. frutescens, and especially G. sinensis, are most beautiful hardy climbing shrubs, with
long pendulous branches of blue flowers, like the Laburnum.
1553. Kennedia. Named after Mr. Kennedy, a nurseryman of celebrity in the vicinity of London. Hand-
some conservatory climbers of the easiest culture.
1554. Cylista. From xuXi%, a calyx, that of the species so called being very large.
1555. Galactia. From yaXa., milk ; the plant is milky in all its parts. A pretty flowering climber of easy
culture in the soil indicated, and increased by cuttings in sand under a bell-glass.
1556. Clitoria. A name derived from an anatomical term, a resemblance to the subject of which has been
fancied to exist in the flower. C. Ternatea was first brought to Europe from Temate, one of the Molucca
islands, which induced Tourncfort to adopt Ternatea as a generic appellation, and it was continued by
Linnarus as a specific one.

History, Vat', Propagation, Culture,
the second year some will be fit to gather, and by taking only the largest, the bed will continue productive for
several years, adding some fresh compost every year.
1558. Lathyrus. A name employed by Theoplirastus to designate a leguminous plant. It is said by his com-
mentator Boda?us a Stapel, to have been derived from Xa, an augmentative particle, and 8t>u%o;, any thing which
is exciting ; and to have been applied to this plant in consequence of certain aphrodisiacal qualities ascribed to
it. L sativus, Gesse, Kr., is frequently sown in Switzerland for soiling horses. In several parts of the
continent, a white light pleasant bread is made from the flour of this pulse, but it produced such dreadful
effects in the last century, that the use of it was forbid by an edict of George, Duke of Wurtemburg, in
In/ 1 ; and this not being observed, was enforced by two other edicts under his successor Leopold, in 1705,
and 1714
Mixed with wheat flour in half the quantity, it makes a very good bread, that appears to be harmless.
But bread made with this flour only has brought on a most surprising rigidity of the limbs in those who have
used it for a continuance; insomuch that the exterior muscles could not by any means be reduced, or have
their natural action restored. These symptoms usually appeared on a sudden, without any previous pain ;
but sometimes they were preceded by a weakness and disagreeable sensation about the knees. Baths, both hot
and cold, fomentations and ointments of various kinds have been tried without effect ; insomuch that it is
regarded as incurable, and being neither very painful nor.'atal, those who are seized with it usually submit to
it with patience.
Swine fattened with this meal lost the use of their limbs, but grew very fat lying on the ground. A hor.^c
fed some months on the dried herb, was said to have his legs perfectly rigid. Kinc are reported to grow lean
on it, but sheep not to be affected. Pigeons, especially young ones, lose the power of walking by feeding on
the seed. Poultry will not readily touch it, but geese eat it without any apparent damage. In some parts
of Switzerland, cattle feed on the herb without any harm. It would be worth enquiring, therefore, whether
the soil may not contribute something to the ill qualities of the plant : and it is remarked that the seed from
a strung, fat, moist soil, is much more deleterious than from a light dry one. (Duvemoy.)
Fabbroni, from Florence, in 1786, says, that the government there has cautioned the peasants against the

one-fourth, without any harm.
The poisonous Lathyrus from Barbary, is L scminc punctato of Casp. Rauhin, and seems to be only a
variety; for in the crops of L. sativus in Italy, they find black seeds stri|>ed with white, as in the African
seed, l-'.ibbrom suspects it to be a mule between L. sativus and Cicera, for the flower and seed p irtake of the
characters of both ; having a black seed marked with white ; and a white banner with a red keel to the
corolla. {Fabbroni's Letters in MSS. Banks.)
L odoratus is one of our most esteemed border annuals, and is extensively grown in pots for decorating
chambers and windows. L tingitanus, articulate*, and annum are also sown as border annuals

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
crops is thus obtained from the end of May to the beginning of November. By raising in hotbeds and trans-
planting, the first crop may be gathered in the beginning of May ; and by raising and maturing in pits, pease'
may be gathered in April. The pea, however, does not force well, and "requires extraordinary attention to
giving air, otherwise the blossoms will not set. The culture of the pea is known to every countryman.
The grey pea, cultivated in agriculture, is by some considered as a species, though it is obviously a mere
variety, not further removed from the frame pea than is the blue Prussian, or the crown pea. A dry soil
and season is essential for a good crop, unless the plants can be supported by sticks like the garden crops.
The seed is chiefly used for feeding pigs, and splitting for soup. In boiling split pease, some samples, without
reference to variety, fall or moulder down freely into pulp, while others continue to maintain their form.
The former are called boilers. This property of boiling depends on the soil ; stiff land, or sundy land that
has l>een limed or marled, uniformly produces pease that will not melt in boiling, no matter what the variety
may be. Pease straw cut green and dried, is reckoned as nourishing as hay, and is considered as excellent for
sheep. The produce of pease in flour is as three to two of the bulk in grain, and husked and split for soups
as tour to two. A thousand parts of pea flour afforded Sir H. Davy 574 parts of nutritive or soluble matter ;
viz. 501 of mucilage, or vegetable animal matter, 22 of sugar, 35 of gluten, and 16 of extract, or matter
rendered insoluble during the operation.
P. maritimum has seeds of a bitterish disagreeable taste, but arc reported nevertheless to have been
eaten in times of scarcity. {Turner's Hetbal.)
1561. Vicia. From gwlg, Celtic ; whence /Sixior, Greek, vicia, Latin, vesce, French, vetch, English, &c.
V. sylvatica and cracca, where they occur in meadows, are considered valuable herbage plants. They yield
great bulk of fodder, which is allowed to be very nutritive. Some have proposed to cultivate them alone, but
Curtis observes, they would probably in that case choke themselves for want of support.
V. sativa, the winter and summer tare, fetch or vetch, is a valuable agricultural plant. Some consider the
winter variety as a distinct species ; but Professor Martyn proved, by cultivating both, that they were not

even very distinct varieties. The winter variety is sown in September and October, and the summer at
different periods, from February to June, for succesaional cuttings. The soil requires to be in a good heart,
otherwise they will produce but a poor crop of herbage: on a good soil they will yield ten or twelve tons,
which is found excellent for milch cows and working stock. The crop is seldom left to ripen its seeds, but
when seeds are wanted ; the only use made of them being for sowing or feeding pigeons.
V. narbonensis and serratifolia are cultivated in Germany in the same manner as our tare. Vicia sepium
has been recommended to be sown among clover for mowing.
V. Faba is a well known legume both of the garden and the field. The garden varieties are numerous ;
the earliest is a small seeded variety, the Mazagan, and the largest the Windsor. Heans are planted at
the various times in which pease are sown ; but the late sowings of this plant do not answer so well as those of
the pea. When the ground i- properly pulverised .ml In good heart, they succeed well when transplanted ;
and where a first crop is Injured by insect*, if the stems are cut down to the ground during their flower-
ing season, they will send up a succession at shoots, which will bear a crop In this way, according to some,
the bean may be rendered perennial, as it is certain the scarlet kidney beau may by merely protecting the
roots from the frost.
The field Ik.mii, of which there is a larger and smaller sort, the latter called tick*, 's sown in drills by a
machine, so as to admit of horse hoeing, and otherwise ploughing or stirring between the rows. U> tins
means a larger crop is produced, and the land deaned and brought into * better state for a succeeding corn
crop. Beans are excellent lood tor hard working horses, ami for bitting bog* lor bacon. The flower of bean*
and pease is more nutritive than that of oats, but less easy of digestion. A bushel of beans is supposed to
viehl fourteen pounds more of flour than a bushel of oats, and a bushel of pease eighteen pound* more, or.
according to some, twenty pounds. A thousand parts of liean flour were found, by Sir II Davey, to >i<ld
570 parts of nutritive matter, of which MB were OSUCilagC or Starch, 103 gluten, and 41 extract, ot matter

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
15(52. Ervum. From erui, tilled land, in Celtic; to which this plant is a pest. E. lens (from lentil, Celtic),
Lcntille, Fr., Lentze, Ger., and Is.nttccia, Ital, is a legume of the greatest antiquity, being in esteem in
Esau's time, and much prized in eastern countries ever since. In Egypt and Syria they are parched in a
frying-pan and sold in the shops, and considered by the natives as the best food for those who undertake long
journies. There are three varieties of lentils cultivated in France and Germany : the small brown, which is
the lightest flavored, and the best for haricots and soups ; the yellowish, which is a little larger, and the next
best ; and the lentil of Provence, which is almost as large as a pea, with luxuriant straw, and more tit to be
cultivated as a tare, than tor the grain as human food. A dry warm sandy soil is requisite for the lentil , it
is sown rather later than the pea, at the rate of a bushel, or one and a half bushel, to the acre ; in other re-
spects its culture and harvesting are the same, and it ripens sooner. The produce of the lentil in grain is
about a fourth less than that of the tare; and in straw it is not a third as much, the plants seldom growing
above one and a halt foot high. The straw is, however, very delicate and nourishing, and preferred for lambs
and calves ; and the grain, on the continent, sells at nearly double the price of pease. Einhoff obtained from
3840 parts of lentils, 1260 parts of starch, and 143.3 of a matter analogous to animal matter.
1563. Ervilia. A word with the same meaning as Ervum See that word.
1564. Cicer. All authors agree in deriving the name from xixve, force; on account of the eminent qualities
the ancients attributed to it It grows naturally in the South of Europe, and is cultivated there for the same
purposes as the lentil, but it is too delicate tor Held culture in this country. It is called Arietinum, because the
young seed bears a very curious resemblance to a ram's head.
1565. Liparia. From P.,t«;-<j,-, brilliant, in allusion to the surface of the leaves. " The species," Sweet ob-
serves, " thrive very well in a mixture of loam and peat, and do not require so much water as some other
genera ol the order L villosa, vestita, sericea, and some others, if they get too much water over their leavei

I5K Ci/Iisms Pliny says it was so called because found in Cylhnus, one of the Cyrlades. The Cytisus of the
ancients is believed to have been our Medicago arlx>rea. A genus of ornamental trees and shrubs, of which the
Laburnums, tyrsV det alpes, Fr , Buhncntmum, (>er , arc well known and universally admired examples. There
are two s|>ecics of Laiiurnum, which are so much alike, that in most nurseries they are confounded together, or
only one in cultivation. C. alpinus is the tree Laburnum, whose timber (the false ebony of the French) is
much prised by cabinet-makers and turners, for its hardness, beauty of grain, and durability. The tree is
frequently sown in plantations infested with hares and rabbits, who will touch no other tree as long as a twig
of laburnum remains. " Though eaten to the ground in winter," as Boutcher observes, " it will spring again
next season, and thus afford a constant supply for these animals, so as to save the other trees till of a size to
resist their attacks. The timber has lieen sold for upwards of half a sovereign |*r foot" It become* meat
valuable in light loams and sandy soils.
C. wolgaricus and purpureus are very handsome shrubs ; and make a fine appearance when grafted on stocks
of laburnum live or six feet in height.
G. rajaii [an alteration of the Malay name, Catjangt, Poind' Angola, Fr., is frequently planted in the West India
Islands, chiefly in rows as B fence to the sugar plantation-, and Will thrive on barren land. The seed is much
eaten by poor people and negroes, and Is esteemed ■ wholesome poise In the Island of Martlnico even the better
sort Of people hold it in estimation, and prefer ;t to the Fairopc.in |>ea. The chief use of it in Jamaica is l'>r feed-
ing pigeons, whence its name. The branches, with the ripe seed and leaves, are given to feed hogs, horn.,
and other cattle, which grow very fat on them. [Sloane and Jaa/. 06s.)

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1567. Mullera. In honor of Otho Frederick Miiller, a Dane, one of the editors of the Flora Danica. There
have also lived four other Mlillers, Germans, and botanists The fruit is remarkable for its form, which is
that of a necklace; a number of little balls being united by stalks, and not opening as in other leguminosae, but
always remaining closed. The flowers are pink, and the size of a bunch of Laburnum.
1568. Robinia. In memory of Jean Robin, herbarist to Henry IV. of France, author of Histoire des Plantes,
&c, Paris, 1620. His son, Vespasian, was subdeinonstrator at the Jardin de Roi, and was the first person
who cultivated the R. pseudacacia in Europe.
R. pseudacacia is a thorny fast-growing tree, of middling stature, of no great beauty as a tree, but orna-
mental when young, and very well adapted for copse-wood and rough timber. The leaves come out late in
spring, and fall off early in autumn, like those of the ash. The timber is much valued in North America, and
said to be superior to that of the laburnum ; "being close-grained, hard, and finely veined ; and in America
more valued by the cabinet-maker than any other native timber whatever. Pursh, in his Flora, asserts, that
being nearly incorruptible, it is equally useful for posts and gates. We are informed by a friend, that gate-
posts of this timber, on a property near Baltimore, have remained fresh for nearly a century. The finest pin-
nated leaves, and pendulous white odorous flowers, add greatly to its beauty. Its value is scarcely known in
this country." (Caleti. Mem. ii. 414.) It prefers a deep sandy soil, and rather sheltered situation ; being very
apt to throw up suckers from the running roots, and as it stoles freely, it seems peculiarly calculated for cop-
pice-woods. Beatson (Com. to Board of Agr.) has cultivated it in this way to great advantage.
In North America the use of the locust-tree has hitherto been confined to trenails on account of its scarcity,
but were it as plentiful as oak, it would be applied for more purposes by the shipwright, such as knees, floor-
timbers, and foot-hooks, being much superior to oak for its strength and duration, and, from the tree spreading
into branches, affords full as large a proportion of crooks or compass timber as oak.
A cubic foot of acacia, in a dry state, weighs from 48 to 53 pounds avoirdupois. If we compare its tough-
ness in an unseasoned condition with that of oak, it will not be more than 8 — 100 less. Its stiffness is equal
to 99- -100 of oak ; and its strength nearly 96 — 100 ; but were it properly seasoned, it might, possibly, be found
much superior to oak in strength, toughness, and stiffness A piece of unseasoned acacia, two feet six inches
long, and an inch square in the vertical section, brc.&c when loaded with a weight of 247 pounds avoirdupois.
Its medium cohesive force is about 11,500 pounds. (Did. of Archi.)

and Miscellaneous Particulars.
R. hispida is a very handsome shrub, but it requires a sheltered situation, otherwise the branches are \ery
liable to be shattered or blo.m off'by high winds. In young trees grafted above ground, the fracture com-
monly takes place at the graft, so that a good preventative is to graft on the root a little below the surface.
Grafts in this manner are also much more certain of success.
R. viscosa resembles, in its leaves and flowers, the common acacia ; but Is, altogether, a much handsomer tree.
1569 Caragana. This genus his been confounded by Linnanis and his followers with liobinia. The name
is derived from the appellation of the most common species in Tartary, where it is called among the Moguls,
Carachana. Altagana, the name of another species, is in like manner a slight alteration of the Tartar name
Aldachana.
C. spinosa, on account of the length and toughness of the branches, and its large stout thorns, is admirably
adapted to form impenetrable hedge*, and is sufficiently hardy to bear our climate. About Pekin, they
stick the bushes in clav on the tops of their walls, to prevent persons from getting or looking over them
(Pallas.)
C. Halodcndron is a handsome shrub, and grows in Silwria on dry naked salt-fields, and it is probably from
the want of this principle in our garden soils, that it so seldom flowers here.
C. pygma;a is a weak low shrub, with a shining yellow bark, with wood of a deep bay, almost as hard as horn
C. frutescens is used by the Tartars for the same purposes as osiers, for. winch its tough shoots render it
proper.
C. jubata is remrakable plant, its shoots always remaining covered by the persistent brown (tipufae of the
fallen leave-. It is extremely difficult to propagate, and is rarely even seen in tins country. I lie mot mc
cessful cultivators of it are Messrs Loddlge* and Son.
1570. Swaintonia. Named after the late Mr. Isaac Swainson, who had a l»tanic garden at Twickenham.
1571. Suthrrlandia. In honor of Mr James Sutherland, who published, in 168.S, an 8vn. catalogue of the
Physic Garden at Kdinburgh. This and the former genus seed freely, and may also be readily increased by
cuttings.
1572. Ijesscriia. Named by Dccandolle in honor of M. Stephen Delessert, to whose mother Rousseau's
Letters on Botany were addressed.

so called. Shrubs with membranaceous inflated pods, free-growers and flowerers, well adapted to introduce irl
extensive shrubberies.
C. arborescens grows on Mount Vesuvius, even in the ascent to the crater, where there are scarcely any
other plants. The leaves are recommended as answering all the purposes of senna, and Allioni has given
particular directions for the preparation of them. A larger dose seems to be required to produce the same
effect. The seeds, in a quantity of a drachm or two, excite vomiting. It is said by Hallcr and Kay toaflbrd
food grateful to cattle.
1574. Ulycyrrliiza. From yluxv;, sweet, and oitct, a root ; the sweet taste of the liquorice root is well
known. But the species from which the name is derived now constitutes a different genus. See Liquiritia.
1575. Liquoritia. A Latinized appearance of our common English word Liquorice, which in its turn is said
to be an alteration or corruption of the French word Regtisse, itself a corruption of Glycyrrluzi. So, at least,
says De Theis. To others, however, it is appears more probable that the name alludes to'the quantity of liquor
or liquid which the roots contain, and which constitutes their great value.
L. officinalis is a deep-rooting perennial, which has long been much cultivated in Spain ; and since Elizabeth's
time has been grown in different parts of England. The soil should be a deep sandy loam, trenched by the
spade or plough, or with the aid of both, to two and a half or three feet in depth, and manured, if necessary. The
plants are procured from old plantations, and consist of the side-roots, which have eyes or buds. These mav
oe taken oft; either in autumn, when a crop of liquorice is taken up for use, and laid in earth till spring; or
taken from a growing plantation, as wanted for planting. The planting season may be either October, or
February and March. In general the latter is preferred. The plants are dibbled in, in rows three feet apart,
and from eighteen inches to two feet in the row. according to the richness of the soil. The after-culture con-
sists in horse-hoeing and deep stirring, in weeding, and in cutting over and carrying away the haulm every
autumn, after it is completely withered. As the plants do not rise above a foot the first season, a crop of
onions or beans is sometimes taken in the intervals. The plants must have three summers' growth, at the

end of which the roots may be taken up by trenching over the ground. The roots are either immediately sold
to the brewers' druggists, or to common druggists, or preserved, like carrots or potatoes, in land, till wanted
for use. They are used in medicine and porter-brewing.
CmwtfBa. Fran corona, a crown. Its pretty flowers are disused in little tufts like coronets. Hand-
some free-flowering shrubs, of easy culture. C. valentina, glauca, and viminalis are valuable as flowering in
winter, and often all the summer. C. argentea bears a profusion of flowers, which have a strung sweet scent
The silvery color of this plant is occasioned by its growing on a poor dry' soil ; and if it is removed into better
ground, it will take a glaucous color ; and the contrary. C. emerus is a popular shrub of much be uily.
C, varia is a strung coarte-growing plant, and has been grown as an adjunct to clover, lucern, &C. Curtis
says, it is bitter j but others have found horses and cows to eat it greedily.
1577. Wmocrefit. From i'tto*-, an horse, and xftrit, a shoe; in allusion to the form .of its pod. Pretty
little aniiii.il plants, with bright yellow flowers.
1578. Ornithopus. From »f>i(, a bird, and t«, a foot. The pods are twisted ami curved in such a manner
as to resemble the claws of a small bird. Curious on account of their Jointed pods, but not worth culture .is
plants of ornament. O. sativus is a most valuable agricultural plant. It was introduced for purposes of Held
culture about the year 1818, from Portugal, under the name of Serradilla. Sown upon the barren, light,
sandy downs of Thetford, in Norfolk, it produced an abundant crop of most excellent fodder, where nothing
else would grow. It is exceedingly like O. scorpioides, except that it arrives at the height of two (bet instead
of as many inches.
1579. Seorpiunu. From «<{««, a scorpion, and »{«, a tail ; on account of the twisted pod, which is very
like the tail of some reptile.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1581. Sesbania. The Arabic name Sesban, a little Latinized. Most of these plants are ornamental, a
grandiflora is a beautiful plant ; it grows in peat and loam, and cuttings root in sand under a hand-glass.
1582. Mschynomene. A name given by Pliny to a plant which withdrew its leaves from the contact of the
hand. It is derived from euvxino/juu, to be modest One of the species of iEschvnomene is sensitive, but it
is not the plant of Pliny.
1583. Stylosanihes. prom svXas, a style, and *v%oi, a flower : a flower with a very long style. Worthless
tropical weeds.
1584. Hallia. Named after Birger Martin Hale, a pupil of Linnoeus, and the student under whose name the
thesis called Ncctaria florum stands in the Amoenitates Academics.
1585. Lesjiedcxa. Named by Michaux, in honor of Lespedez, a governor of Florida, who protected that
botanist in his botanical researches. Herbaceous, chiefly North American plants with little merit.
1586. Flemingia. Named after Dr. John Fleming, president of the East India Company's Medical Board at
Bengal.
1587. Zornia. Supposed to have been named after Mr. John Zorn, an apothecary at Kempten, in Bavaria,
author of a work called Icones Plantarum Medicinalinm, in five volumes, octavo, between the years
T779 and 1784. There was also a Dr. Bartholomew Zorn, of Berlin, author of Botanologia Mcdica, 1714,
&c. &c.
1588. Hedysarum. From iihus, sweet, and ajai.ttot, smell ; some the species have fragrant flowers. A

II. Alhagi is a thorny shrub, with lanceolate leaves, and coriaceous, sulx-vlindrir, and scarcely jointed
pods. It is on tins plant that Manna Trungebcen is found in Mesopotamia (Huss. AU-iip.) and other eastern
countries. It is chiefly gathered about Taur'.s, where the shrub grows plentifully. Sir George Wheeler

H. gyrans is a native of Bengal near the Ganges ; and is called there Bur.im Chndali, or Hurram Chandnli.
This is a wonderful plant, Linnams observes, on account of its voluntary motion, which is not occasioned by
any touch, irritation, or movement in the air, as in Mimosa, Cxalis, and Dion.-ra ; nor is it so evanescent as in
Amnrpha. No sooner had the plants raised from seal acquired their ternate leaves, than thev began to 1* in
motion this way and that ; this movement did not cease daring the whole course of their vegetation, nor were
they observant of any time, order or direction ; one leaflet frequently revolved, whilst the other on the same
pettole I ; sometimes a few leaflets only were in motion, then almost all of them would be in
movement at once : the whole plant was very seldom agitated, and that only during the first war. It con-
tinued to move in the stove during the second year of its growth, and was not at rest even in winter. [9*pp.

general, only make a faint and feeble attempt towards the middle of the day at exerting their extraordinary
faculty. (Sltaw.) *
This motion does not depend upon any external cause that we can trace, and we are not able to excite it by
any art that we possess. It is not the action of the sun"s rays, for this plant is fond of shade, and the leaves
revolve well on rainy days, and during the night : exposed to too much wind or sun, it is quiet. Perhaps,
says Linnaeus, there may be some part in vegetables, as in animals, where the cause of motion resides.
H. coronarium, Sulla, or Sainfoin a bouquets, Fr., is an esteemed border biennial, and some speculative
agriculturists recommend it for cultivation as a held plant. In Calabria it grows wild in great luxuriance,
near four feet high, affording excellent nourishment to horses and mules, both green and made into hay :
but it does not well bear the spring in the north of Italy : we may presume, therefore, that it will scarcely bear
our climate well enough to answer the purposes of husbandry. Osbeck mentions, that he saw it brought into
Cadiz in great bundles, as food for cattle
H. Onobrychis, L'esparcet, Fr., Esparzette, Ger., and Cedrangoio, Ital., is a deep rooting perennial, with
branching spreading stems, compound leaves, and shewy red flowers. It is a native of many parts of Europe,
but never found but on dry warm chalky soils, where it is of great duration. It has been long cultivated in
France, and in other parts of the continent, and as an agricultural plant, a good deal in England, in the chalky
districts ; and its peculiar value is, that it may be grown on soils unfit for being constantly under tillage, and
which would yield little umlergrass. This is owing to the long and descending roots of the saint-foin, which
will penetrate and thrive in the fissures of rocky and chalky understrata. Its herbage is said to be equally
suited for pasturage or for hay, and eaten green it is not so apt to swell or hove cattle as the clovers or
lucern. Arthur Young says, that upon soils proper for this grass no farmer can sow too much of it, and in

The Code of Agriculture, it is said to be " one of the most valuable herbage plants we owe to the bounty of
providence."
The deeper the soil is stirred previously to sowing the better ; the seed is generally put in broad cast, at the
rate of three or four bushels the acre, and sometimes a little red clover is sown afterwards to produce a crop
the second season, when the saint, fnin plants are but small. When saint-tbin is annually mown, it should be
top-dressed with manure ; but if only IX casinnally mown, the benefits derived from the grazing of sheep or
cattle will, to a considerable extent, answer for surface dressings in a plant that derives a part of its nutriment
from the subsoil. Saint-loin is highly nutritive, either cut green or made into hay. The produce, on a medium
of soils and cultivation, may probabl) lie estimated at from about one ami a half to two tons the acre. And
on the |x>orer and thinner Maple sorts of land, it will perhaps seldom aflbrd leal than from a ton to a ton and
a half on the acre. One thousand parts of saint-fom atllir.led Sir H. Dovj thirty-nine of nutritive matter,
w huh is the same as that aflbrded by the red and srhite clover.
The usual duration of saint-fmn, in a profitable state, is from eight to ten years. It usually attains its
perfect growth in about three rears, and begins to decline towards the eighth or tenth on calcareous soils, and
about the seventh and eighth on gravels. There are instances, however, of fields of sainUfbin, which
had been neglected and left to run into pasture, in which plants have been (bund upwards Of hlty years from
the time of sowing. It has been cultivated Upwards of a century on the (otswold hills, and there roots of it
have l>een traced do. mi into stone quarries from ten to twenty feet in length, ami in Germany, Von Thaes
lound them attain the length of sixteen feet. In general, the great enemy to the endurance of saint-loin, is
the grass which accumulates, and forms a close turf on the surface, and thus chokes up the plant.

Histo-/y, Use, Propagation, Culture,
y, a plant bearing indigo. The species are elegant little shrubs, free-
flowerers, and of easy culture. Most of them will yield the dye, but those chiefly cultivated for this purpose
fire Je. ,AJ'"1 iAl^l'' Arf»b-)' in tne West l"^et, and the I. tinctoria, argentea, and some other species in
the hast Indies. 1 he indigo is one of the most profitable articles of culture in Hindustan : because an
immense extent of land is required to produce but a moderate bulk of the dye : because labor and land here
are cheaper than any wheie else ; and because the raising of the plant and its manufacture may be carried on
without even the aid of a house. The first step in the culture of the plant is to render the ground, which
should be triable and rich, perfectly free from weeds, and dry if naturally moist. The seeds are then sown in
shallow drills about a foot apart. The rainv season must be chosen for sowing, otherwise if the seed is
deposited in dry soil, it beats, corrupts, and is lost. The crop being kept clear of weeds, is fit for cutting in
two or three months, and this maybe repeated in rainy seasons every six weeks. The plants must not be
allowed to come into flower, as the leaves in that case become drv and hard, and the indigo produced is of less
value ; nor must they be cut in dry weather as tl.ey would not spring again. A crop generally lasts two vears.
Being cut the herb is first steeped in a vat till it has become macerated and parted with its coloring matter ■
then the liquor is let of into another, in which it undergoes the peculiar process of beating, to cause the fecula
to separate Irom the water. This fecula is let off into a third vat, where it remains some time, and is then
strained through cloth bags, and evaporated in shallow wooden boxes placed in the shade. Before it is per-
fectly dry, it is cut in small pieces of an inch square; it is then packed in barrels, or sowed up in sacks for
sale Indigo was not extensively cultivated in India before the British settlements were formed there ■ its
profits were at first so considerable, that, as in similar cases, its culture was carried too far, and the market
glutted with the commodity The indigo is one of the most precarious of oriental crops; being liable to be
destroyed by hail storms, which do comparatively little injury to the sugar-cane and other plants
The indigo cultivated in the West Indies, thrives best in a free rich soil, and a warm situation, frequently
refreshed with moisture. Having hrst chosen a proper piece of ground, and cleared it, hoe it into little

asunder. In the bottom of these, at any season of the year, strew the seeds pretty thick, and immediately
cover them. As the plants shoot, they should be frequently weeded, and kept constantly clean, until they
spread sufficient!* to cover the ground. Those who cultivate great quantities, only strew the seed* pretty
thick in little shallow pits, hood up irregularly, but generally within four, five, or six inches of one another,
and covered as before Plants raised in this manner, are observed to answer as well, or rather better, than the
others ; but they require more care in the weeding. They grow to full perfection in two or three months, and
are observed to answer l<est when cut in full blossom. The plants are cut with reaping hooks, a few inches
above the root, tied in loads, carried to the works, and laid by strata in the steeper. Seventeen negroes arc
sufficient "o manage twenty acres of indigo ; and one acre of rich land, well planted, will, with good seasons

sends out stcloncs', and gives four or five crops a year ; but must be replanted afterwards.
Indigo has long been cultivated in Spain, but is on the decline in that country, owing to the more favorable

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
of Persia, flowering in July and August. It rises two or three feet only in height, on a stem about an inch
in thickness; with many branches closely crowded together, and covered with imbricated scales and spines,
formed from the petioles of the former year. The leaves, which scarcely exceed half an inch in length, are
composed of six, seven, or eight pairs of opposite, villous, stiff", pointed leaflets ; and the mid-rib is terminated
With a sharp yellowish point. The flowers are small, yellow, and proceed from the axilla; of the leaves with
cottony bractes. The calyx is five-toothed, and shorter than the corolla, which is papilionaceous. Tilie gum
exudes in summer, more or less copiously according to the heat of the weather, in tortuous filaments,
which are allowed to dry on the plant before being collected. A large portion of the Tragacanth collected in
Persia, is sent to India, Bagdad, Bassorah, and Russia. But what we receive is sent to Aleppo, whence it is
exported, [lacked in cases.
Good gum Tragacanth is inodorous ; impressing a very slightly bitter taste as it dissolves in the mouth. Its
mucilage differs from that of acacia gum, in being precipitated by the superacetate of lead, and oxymuriate of
tin ; and not by silicated potass (BostocL Xic/i. Joitrn. lviii. 30.}, o'r the oxysulphate of iron. Medicaliy it is de.

1598. MelUotus. From Mel, honey, and Lotus. These plants are similar to the Lotus, and are the
favorite resort of bees. M. officinalis is the chief ingredient in flavoring the Gruvere cheese. This cheese
no doubt owes its chief excellence to the mixture of herbs in the mountain pasturage which surrounds the
valley of Gruydre, but partly also to the flowers and seeds of this plant, which are bruised and mixed with the
curd before it is pressed.
1599. Lupinaster. That is to say, Lupine-like. A pretty little herbaceous plant, with bright flowers.
1600. Trifoliutn A plant with three leaves; the t^-jXXov, of the Greeks, trifle, of the French, and
trefoil, of the English. Ihis gc-nus includes the two most valuable herbage plants adopted in European
agriculture, the white and red clover. Notwithstanding all that has been said of the superiority of lucern to
clover, and of the excellence of saint-foin, and various Leguminosa; of the pea kind, yet the red clover for
mowing, and the white species tor pasturage, are, and probably ever will be, found to excel all other plants in
these respects. The yellow clover, T. procumbens, and the cow or meadow clover, T. medium, are also in
cultivation, but are far interior to the others. The meadow clover is a useful addition to the white sort in
laying down permament pastures ; the yellow grows on poor soils, but the herbage is not much liked by cattle
J'he pod best adapted for clover is a deep sandy loam, which is favorable to its long tap-roots • but it w'ill grow
in any sod, provided it be dry. So congerel is calvirecus matter to clovers, that the mere strewing of lime on

some soils will call into action clover-seeds, which it would appear have lain dormant for ages. At least this
appears the most obvious way of accounting for the well-known appearance of white clover in such cases.
The climate most suitable for the clovers, as of most plants natives of Europe, is one neither very hot nor
very dry and cold. Most leguminous plants delight both in a dry soil and climate, and warm temperature ; and
the clover will be found to produce most seed under such circumstances ; but as the production of seed is only
in some situations an object of the farmer's attention, a season rather moist, provided it be warm, is always
attended by the most bulky crops of clover herbage.
The time of sowing seeds is generally the spring, during the corn-seed time, or from February to May ; but
they may also be sown from August to October ; and when they are sown by themselves, that is, unaccom-
panied by any corn crop, this will be found the best season, as the young plants are less liable to be dried UP
and impeded in their progress by the sun, than when sown alone in spring, and remaining tender and unshaded
during the hot and dry weather of July.
The manner of sowing is almost always broad-east. When sown with spring com, clover and gr-
are usually put in immediately after the land has been pulverized by harrowing in the corn-seed, and are
themselves covered by one course more of the harrows ; or, if the com is drilled, the small -cols are sown
immediately before or after hand-hoeing ; and the land is then finished by a course of the harrows.
In the operation of sowing, some consider it best to sow the clover and rye-grass separately, alleging that
that the weight of the one seed and lightness of the other, are unfavorable to an equal distribution of Uulh.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
The quantity of seed varies from eight to fourteen pounds per acre, according to the intention of the crop,
the quantity of grass-seeds sown, &c. The after culture of clover and rye-grass consists chiefly of picking off
any stones or rather hard bodies which may appear on the surface in the spring succeeding that in which it
was sow n, and cutting out by the roots any thistles, docks, or other large grown weeds. After this, the surface
should be rolled once to smooth it for the scythe. This operation is best performed in the first dry weather of
March. Some give a top-dressing of soot, gypsum, common lime, peat, or wood-ashes, at this time or earlier ;
gypsum has been particularly recommended as a top-dressing for clovers and the other herbage legumes,
because as their ashes afford that substance in considerable quantities, it appears to be a necessary ingredient
of their food.
The taking of the clover, or clover and rye-grass crop, is either by cutting green for soiling, by making into
hay, or by pasturing. It is observed in The Code of Agriculture, that it is a most important point to ascertain,
in what cases cutting or feeding is most beneficial. If fed, the land has the advantage of the dung and
urine of the pasturing stock ; but the dung being dropt in irregular quantities, and in the heat of summer,
when it is devoured by insects, loses much of its utility. If the dung arising from the herbage, whether
consumed in soiling, or as hay, were applied to the land in one body and at the proper season, the operation
would be more effectual. The smother of a thick crop, continued for any time upon the ground, greatly
tends to promote its fertility ; and it has been pretty uniformly found, after repeated trials, upon soils of
almost every description, that oats taken after clover that has been cut, either for soiling or hay, is superior to
the crop taken after clover pastured by sheep.
The produce of clover-hay, without any mixture of rye-grass, on the best soils, is from two to three tons per
acre, and in this state in the London market it generally sells twenty per cent, higher than meadow-hay, or

clover and rye-grass mixed. The weight of hay from clover and rye-grass varies according to the soil and
the season, from one to three tons per English acre, as it is taken from the tramp-ricks ; but after being
■tacked, and kept till spring, the weight is found to lie diminished twenty-five or thirty |>er cent
The value of clover and rye-grass hay, in comparison with the straw of beam or pease, may be in the pro-
portion of three to two; and with the finest straw of corn crops, in the proportion of two to one. One acre
of red or broad clover will go as far in feeding horses or black cattle, as three or four of natural grass. And
when it is cut occasionally, and given to them fresh, it will probably go still much farther, as no part of it is
lost by being trod down.
The saving of clover seed is attended by considerable labor and difficulty. timer will not perfect its seeds,
if saved for that purpose early in the rear : therefore it is necessary to take off the first growth either by feed-
ing or with the scythe, and to depend lor the teed on those beads tiiat are produced in the autumn.
The produce in seed may generally lie from three to four or five bushels per acre, when perfectly clean,
weighing from two to three hundred weight But there is great uncertainty In the produce of clover-seed,
from the lateness of the season at which it becomes ripe; and the fertility or the soil is CODSiderabl) unpaired
by such a crop. Vet the high value of the seed is a great inducement to the saving of it, in favorable
situations.
T. incamatum is sometimes sown as a Ixirder flower.

supposed the Cytisus of Virgil, but, as other contend, without sufficient foundation. Lotus jacobaeus is a
valuable greenhouse plant, as flowering all the year. L. major and comiculatus are very suitable to sow with
white clover and cow-grass, in laying down lands to permanent pasture. Dr. Henderson has written a good
deal in their favor ; Miller is against them ; but Sinclair, in his work on the British Grasses, found it a valuable
ingredient in meadows, especially where the soil was rather moist. (See Ency. ofAgr.p. iii. b. 6.) Gebelia
is the Arabic name {Gebelie) of the species to which it has been applied.
1602. Tetragonolobus. From nr^ut, four, ymia., an angle, and Xogoj-, a bean, in allusion to the four wings of the
pods. Tetragonolobus edulis is now a popular border annual, on account of its curious pods ; but it was formerly
an esculent legume, these pods being used like those of the kidney bean, by the poor of Sicily and Spain.
1603. Trigonella. From t%us, three, and ymia, an angle. The standard of the flower is flat, and the keel very
small and narrow, which gives the flower a triangular appearance. T. ftenum-grajcum, a plant cultivated by
the Romans, is still occasionally employed in the agriculture of the soutli of Europe. The seeds have a strong

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1605. Medicago. A native of the country of the Medes, whence this plant was brought to Greece during
the expedition of Darius. M. arborea, the Cytisus of the ancients, flowers great part of tne year and
when sheltered is seldom destitute of flowers. In the open air it begins to flower in April, and continues
till December. Those flowers which appear early in summer, will have the seeds ripe in August or the
beginning of September ;, and the others will ripen in succession. It grows in great plenty in Abruzzo, and
many parts of the kingdom of Naples, where the goats feed upon it ; and with their milk abundance of cheese
is made there. It also abounds in several of the islands in the Archipelago, where the Turks use the wood
to make handles for their sabres ; and the caloyers, or Greek monks, form their beads of it In old shrubs
the heart is of a dark color, and hard like ebony. ""««™ui
According to MiUer this shrub bids the fairest of any to be the Cytisus of Virgil, Columella, and the othei
ancient writers on husbandry ; and being celebrated by them as an excellent foddeV, has been recommended
for cultivation here But however useful it may be in Candia, Rhodes, Sicily, Abruzzo, and other drv warm
countries, yet it will never thrive in England, (where we have also many plank of this leguminous tribe far
more succulent than this,) so as to be of any real advantage; for in severe frost it is very subject to be
destroyed, or at least so much damaged, as not to recover its former verdure before the middle or end of May
(and even after a mild winter, it will generally appear injured by our cold spring winds, even at that season ■ '
so that it cannot be of any use here for early spring fodder.) Reside, thn «h™t.r»;ii „A* k„„ .....„„„>".'

England, but not cultivated any where excepting in some poor soils in Switzerland. »»">«»

and Miscellaneous Particulars.
The soil for lucem must be dry', friable, inclining to sand, and with a subsoil not inferior to the surface;
unless the soil be good and deep, it is in vain to attempt to cultivate lucern.
. The preparation of the soil consists in deep ploughing and minute pulverisation ; and, in our opinion, the
shortest way to effect this, is to trench it over by the spade to two or three feet in depth, burying a good coat
of manure in the middle, or at least one foot from the surface. This is the practice in Guernsey, where lucern
is highly prized.
The climate for lucern, as we have already hinted, must be warm and dry ; it has been grown in Scotland
and Ireland, and might probably do well in the southern counties of the latter country, but in the former it
has not been found to answer the commendations of its admirers.
The season most proper for sowing lucern, is as early as can be done in the spring months, as in this way the
plants may be fully established before the season becomes too hot. If the plants be intended to be transplanted
out in the garden method, it will also be the best practice to sow the seed-bed as early in the spring as the
frosts will admit, in order that they may be strong, and fit to set out about the beginning ot August
The manner of sowing lucem is either broad-cast or in drills, and either with or without an accompanying
crop of corn for the first year. Broad-cast, and a very thin crop of barley or other spring corn, is generally,
and, in our opinion, very properly preferred. ... .,
The quantity of seed, when the broad-cast method is adopted, is said to be from fifteen to twenty pounds
per acre and from eight to twelve if drilled. The seed is paler, larger, and doarer than that of clover ; it is
generally imported from Holland, and great care should be had to procure it plump and perfectly new, as two
years old seed does not come up freely. The same depth of covering as for clover will answer.
The after-culture of lucern, sown broad-cast, consists in harrowing, to destroy grass and other weeds ; rolling,
after the harrow ing, to smooth the soil for the scythe, and such occasional top-dressings of manure as the
state of the plants may seem to require.
The top-dressings given to lucern may be either of the saline or mixed manures. Ashes are greatly esteemed,
and also gvpsum and liquid manure of any kind.
The taking of lucern by mowing for soiling, or hay, or by tethering, hurdling, or pasturing, may I* con-
sidered as the same as for clover. Lucern frequently attains a sufficient growth lor the scythe towards the
end of April, or beginning of the following month ; and in soils that are favorable lor its culture, will be in a
state of readiness for a second cutting in the course of a month or six weeks longer, being capable of under-
going the same operation at nearly similar distances of time during the whole of Che summer .season.
The application of lucern is also the same as of clover. The principal and most advantageous practice, in
the application of lucern, is that of soiling bone*, neat i attic and hogs j but as a dry fodder, it is also capable
of affording much assistance, and as an early food lor ewes and lambs, may be ol great value m particular
eases. All agree in extolling it as food for cows, whether in a green or dried state.
The produce of lucern, cut three times in a season, has been stated at from three to five and even eight tons
oer acre In soiling one acre is sufficient for three or four cows during the soiling season, and a quarter of an
acre, if the soil be good, for all sorts of large stock, for the same period, or half an acre on a moderate
*°The nutritive product of lucern, according to Sir H. Davy, is 2-3-tenths per cent., and is to that of the

attributed to lucem ; and is one proof, among many, how little the analysis of the chemist agrees with the ex-
perience of the farmer.
To save seed, the lucem may be treated precisely as the red clover, and it is much easier threshed, the grains
being contained in small pods, which easily separate under the flail, or a threshing machine, or clover mill.

Mexicans call the beverage obtained from it Chocolatl. (Nieremb ) T. Cacao is a tree which grows in a very
handsome form to the height of twelve or sixteen feet ; the trunk is upright, and about as high as a man
before the head spreads out ; the wood is light and of a white color ; the bark brownish. Leaves lanceolate-
oblong, bright green, quite entire ; flowers small, reddish, inodorous. Fruits smooth, yellow, red, or of both
colors, about three inches in diameter : rind fleshy, near half an inch in thickness, flesh-colored within : pulp
whitish, the consistence of butter, separating from the rind in a state of ripeness, and adhering to it only by
filaments, which penetrate it and reach to the seeds. Hence it is known when the seeds are ripe, by the
rattling of the capsule when it is shaken. The pulp has a sweet and not unpleasant taste, with a slight
acidity ; it is sucked and eaten raw by the natives. The seeds are about twenty-five in number : when fresh
they are of a flesh-color: gathered before they are ripe, they preserve them in sugar, and thus they are very
grateful to the palate : they quickly lose their power of vegetation, if taken out of the capsule ; but kept in it,
they preserve that power for a long time. The tree bears leaves, flowers, and fruit all the year through ; but
the usual seasons for gathering the fruit are June and December. In two years from the seed it is above three
feet high, and spreads its branches, not more than five of which are suffered to remain : before its third year
is complete it snows for fruit A tree yields from two to three pounds of seeds annually. These seeds are
remarkably nourishing, and agreeable to most people; which occasions them to be commonly kept in most
houses in America, as a necessary part of the provisions of the family : they are generally ground or pounded
very fine, a little arnatto added, and made into paste : they are much charged with oil, but mix well with
milk or water, and are formed into rolls of one pound each.

families in Jamaica, where the tree is largely cultivated, and aflbrds a nutritious food for children, as well as
adults. But as chocolate made abroad cannot by law be imported into this country, consequently all chocolate
consumed in Britain ought to be made here. It is composed principally of the kernel of the cocoa, as
above mentioned ; but the art is in very few hands : and we believe that a small portion of soap it added to
most British chocolate, in order to cause it to froth when it is dissolved in hot water.
Cocoa is a simple preparation made in Britain, from the cocoa-nut, or from the shells of it, or from a mixture
of both. It is considered much easier of digestion than chocolate, and very nourishing.
In our stoves Theobromas thrive in light rich soil, and cuttings root in sand under a hand-glass.

substance fit only to be eaten by cattle. Orme d'Amcrique, Kr. A wide spreading tree, not unlike the Kim,
with oblong heart-shaped leaves, which sleep hanging quite down, whilst the petioles remain entirely stiff and
straight. It grows in the lowlands of Jamaica, forming a very agreeable shade for the cattle, and supplying
them with food in dry weather, when all the herbage is burned up or exhausted. The seeds are very mucila-
ginous, but otherwise agreeable to the palate. The wood is light, and so easily wrought, that it is generally
used by coachmakers in all the side pieces. (Brmvne.) It is also frequently cut into staves for casks. A decoc-
tion of the inner bark is very glutinous, and very like that of the elm. In our stoves it thrives well in a loamy
soil, and cuttings root freely in sand under a hand-glass.

a little peat is an excellent compost for them Tin v propagate freely by seeds and cuttings." {Hut. Cult. 10.)

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1610. Melaleuca. From fuXas, black, and kivzos, white : because the original tree has black wood and white
branches. A beautiful Australasian genus, which grows and flowers freely in equal parts of sandy loam and
peat, with common greenhouse treatment " Some cultivators," Sweet observes, " grow them entirely in peat,
in which they will grow very well for a time ; but they will not be strong and healthy, nor flower so well as in a
mixture. Ripened cuttings, not too old, will root freely in sand under a bell-glass." (Bot. Cult. 223.)
The bark of Melaleuca Leucadendron is used by the Chinese as oakum, for making good the spaces between
the timbers of their vessels. They also use it in the roofing their houses. From the same tree is obtained the
Cajeputi oil, remarkable for its green color, its peppermint flavor, and turpentine smelL It is rarely to be pro-
cured in Europe in an unadulterated state. When pure it is one of the best preservatives of preparations ot
natural history, and is used externally with much success as a cure for rheumatic affections and pains in the
joints.
1611. Tristania. From rem, three, and ira.yuu, to stand ; in allusion to the ternate disposition of the flowers
and leaves. The species may be treated like Melaleuca, and are pretty little evergreen shrubs.
1612. Calotiiamnus. From xmXtx, beautiful, and baftm*;, a rod, in allusion to the splendid appearance of the
branches covered with scarlet blossoms. The species are beautiful plants, and not difficult of culture or pro-
pagation in sand, and the air keut still and moderately moist by covering with a hand-glass.

is supposed to have been introduced into Italy in the fourteenth century, above a thousand years after the
citron. In England, these trees have been cultivated since 1629. Parkinson, writing at that time, says, " the
orange hath abiden with some extraordinary looking and tending, when neither citron nor lemon trees could
be preserved any length of time." The orange trees he alludes to were those of Beddington, in Surrey, intro-
duced from Italy by a knight of the noble family of the Carews (Gibson's edit, of Camb. Brit,), and the first
that were brought into England ; they were planted in the open ground and placed under a moveable cover
during the winter months. It has been said that these trees were raised by Sir Francis Carew, from seedg
brought to England by Sir Walter Raleigh • but as such trees would not have readily borne fruit, Professor
Martyn thinks it much more likely that they were plants brought from Italy. Bradley says, they always bore
fruit in great plenty and perfection ; that they grew on the outside of a wall, not nailed against it, but at full
liberty to spread ; they were fourteen feet high, the girt of the stem twenty-nine inches, and the spreading of
the branches one way nine feet, and twelve feet another. These trees, Evelyn informs us, were neglected in
his time, during the minority of their owner, and finally entirely killed by the great frost in 1739-40 ; they were
planted before 1595.
During the latter end of the seventeenth and beginning of the eighteenth centuries, the orange tree was a
very fashionable article of growth in conservatories, when there were but few exotics of other sorts kept there.
The plants were procured from Genoa, with stems generally from four to six feet in height ; they were planted
in large boxes, and were set out during summer to decorate the walks near the house, in the manner still
practised at Versailles and the Thuilleries. About the middle of the eighteenth century, when a taste for
botany and forcing exotic fruits became general, that for superb orange trees began to decline ; many of these
large trees have decayed through neglect; and those which are now to be found in the greater number of
greenhouses, are generally dwarf plants bearing few fruit, and those of small size. In some places, however,
are still to be found large and flourishing trees. Those at Smorgony, in Glamorganshire, are the largest in
Britain ; they are planted in the floor of an immense conservatory, and bear abundantly. It is said that the
plants were procured from a wreck on the coast in that quarter, in the time of Henry VII.
At Nuneham, near Oxford, are some fine old trees, planted under a moveable case, sheltered by a north
wall. In summer the case is removed, and the ground turfed over, so that the whole resembles a native
orange grove. At Wormleybury, Hertfordshire, and Shipley Hall, in Derbyshire, are very fine large orange
and lemon trees grown in borders and in boxes. {Hort. Trans, vol. ii. 295, and iv. 306.)
At the Wilderness, Kent, are three trees in boxes, not surpassed by any trees so grown in Europe
At Woodhall, near Hamilton, trees of all the species of Citrus are trained against the back walls of forcing
houses, in the manner of peaches, and produce large crops of fruit.
In the south of Devonshire, and particularly at Saltcombe, one of the warmest spots in England, may be
seen, in a few gardens, orange trees that have withstood the winter in the open air upwards of a hundred
years. The fruit is as large and fine as any from Portugal Trees raised from seed, and inoculated on the
spot, are found to bear the cold better than trees imported.
The common character of the Citrus family is that of low evergreen trees, with ovate or oval-lanceolate, entire
or serrated leaves. On the ungraded trees are often axillary spines. The flowers appear in peduncles, axillary
or terminating, and one or many-flowered. The fruits are large berries, round or oblong, and generally of a
yellow color. The species seem best distinguished by the petiole, which in the orange and shaddock ia
winged ; in the citron, lemon, and lime, naked. The form of the fruit, although not quite constant, may also '
serve for a distinction. In the orange and shaddock it is spherical, or rather an oblate spheroid, with a red
or orange-colored rind ; in the lime, spherical, with a pale rind ; in the lemon, oblong, rough, with a nipple-
like protuberance at the end ; in the citron, oblong, with a very thick rind. The flowers of the citron and
lemon have ten stamens, and those of the orange more. It is very difficult to determine what is a variety,
and what is a species in this genus; many of the sorts in cultivation are by buds.
Dr. Sickler, who spent soveral years in Italy, and paid great attention to the kinds and culture of the orange,
published in 1815, Der Vollkommen Orangerie- Gartner (The complete Orange Gardener), in which he de-
scribes above seventy sorts of Citrus.
Gallesio (Traite ilu Genre Citrus, &c. Savonna, 1818.) lias given a synopsis of the forty principal sorts culti
vated in Italy.
The most splendid work on oranges which has yet appeared is the Histoire Naturelle des Orangers, by Risso,
of Nice, and Poiteau, of Versailles. (Paris, fol. 1818.) Here 169 sorts are described, and 105 of them figured,
and their French and Italian culture given at great length. They are arranged as sweet oranges, of which
they describe 42 sorts ; bitter and sour oranges, 32 sorts ; bergamots, 5 sorts ; limes, 8sorts ; shaddocks, 6 sorts;
lumes, 12 sorts ; lemons, 46 sorts ; citrons, 17 sorts.
All the species of Citrus endure the open air at Nice, Genoa, and Naples ; but at Florence and Milan, and
often at Rome, they require protection during the winter, and are generally placed in conservatories andsheds.
The largest conservatory in Italy is that of Prince Antonio Borghese, at Rome, which contains seventy select
sorts of agrumi. The largest trees are at Sorenta, Terracina, Gaeta, and Naples ; but the most regular and
garden-like culture of the orange, is in the orange-orchards at Nervi, Monaco, and other places in the neigh-
bournood of Genoa. At Nervi are also the orange nurseries which mav be said to supply all Europe with
trees ; they are, in general, wretchedly cultivated, and the stocks inoculated in the most unscientific manner;
but the tine climate, strong clayey soil, and abundant manurir.gs, supply in a great degree the nicer practice*

of gardening. There the names of varieties vary as much as those of gooseberries do in England ; but from
upwards of 180 names, not above 40 distinct sorts can be procured. Good plants of the Maltese and other
varieties of orange may be procured from Malta; and some sorts also from Lisbon. From the nurseries at
Pahs about thirty sorts may be obtained, much smaller plants than those from the other places named, but
more scientifically gTafted or inoculated. The catalogues of London nurserymen enumerate above thirty
varieties of oranges, twelve of lemons, and several varieties of the other species ; the plants are partly Genoese,
partly Prench, and partly propagated here.
The C. aiirantium, the common orange; orange, Fr., pomwanze, Gcr., and arancio, Ital., is a middle-sized
evergreen tree, with a greenish-brown bark ; and, in its wild state, with prickly branches. The fruit is nearly
round, from two to three inches in diameter, and of a gold color. It is now cultivated in most countries of
Europe ; in the open air in Italy and Spain ; and in conservatories or greenhouses in Britain and the north of
Europe.
The two principal varieties are the sweet or China orange, the orange douce of the French, and porto.gallo
or poma de sino of the Italians ; and the bitter or Seville, the bigarade of the French, and arancio volgaro of
the Italians. The Maltese orange, distinguished by its red pulp, is also a noted and much-esteemed sort. The
box-leaved, willow-leaved, and some others, are cultivated more as curious varieties than for their fruit.
G Mcdica, the citron, citron, Fr., citrotiicr, Ger., and cedrate, Ital., in its wild state grows to the height of
about eight feet, erect and prickly, with long reclining branches. The leaves are ovate, oblong, alternate, sub-
serrate, smooth, pale green. The fruit or berry is half a foot in length, ovate, with a protuberance at the lip.
There are two rinds, the outer thin, with innumerable miliary glands, full of a most fragrant oil ; the inner
thick, white, and fungous.
In China they have a variety of the C. Medica, of very considerable si*e, quite solid, with scarcely any pulp
or cells, and divided at the end into five or more long round lobes, on which account it is called Phut thu, or
finger-orange. The fruit is laid upon fine porcelain vessels in the sitting-rooms of the Chinese, for the sake of
its agreeable perfume
Dr. Sickler enumerates only about a dozen citrons and citronates as grown in Italy. The French nurseries
have nearly twenty names in their lists. In England six are cultivated for sale.
C. Limonum, the lemon ; Itmon, Fr., limonier, Ger, and limone, Ital., has the fruit less knobbed at the
extremities, is rather longer and more irregular, and the skin is thinner than in the citron ; the wood is more
knotty, and the bark rougher.
Dr. Sickler enumerates twenty-eight varieties as grown in Italy. The French, according to Ville Herve'
nave eleven sorts ; in the London nurseries are cultivated twelve.
C. Limetta, the lime, by some esteemed a variety of the C. Medica, lime, Fr., Ital., and Ger^ grows to the
height of about eight feet, with a crooked trunk, and many diffused branches, with prickles. The leaves are
ovate lanceolate, almost quite entire. Berry an inch and a half in diameter, almost globular, with a pro-
tuberance at the top; the surface regular, shining, greenish-yellow, with a very odorous rind, enclosing a very
acid juice.
The French have two sorts of lime; and, according to Dr. Sickler, the Italians have fout varieties; five
kinds are grown in the London nurseries.
C. decumana, the shaddock, orange pampelmou.u; Ft, arancio massimo, Ital., is above the middle size, with
spreading prickly branches. The leaves are ovate, subacute, seldom obtuse ; the petioles are cordate, winged :
the wings as broad as the leaves. The berry spheroidal, frequently rctuse at each end, of an even surface, and
greenish-yellow color; pulp red or white; juice sweet or acid; rind white, thick, fungous, and bitter.
Thunberg says, the fruit in Japan grows to the size of a child's head, and Dr. Sickler states its weight as
fourteen pounds, and its diameter as from seven to eight inches. It is a native of China and Japan, and was
brought to the West Indies by Captain Shaddock, from whom it has derived its name.
The Italians, according to Dr Sickler, have one, and the French, according to the Nouveau Cours, &c,
four sorts. Foul are grown in the English nurseries.
All the sorts may be propagated by seeds, cuttings, layers, and grafting, or inoculation.
The object of raising plants from seed is either toobtain new varieties or stocks for grafting. To attempt
raising new varieties in Britain will in general be found a tedious process, as the trees do not even in Italy
show fruit for six or eight years or more ; and there is now in the botanic garden at Toulon, a large handsome
tree, of twenty-five years' growth, which in 1819 had not blossomed. Shaddock stocks are the strongest, and
next to these the citron. Budding and grafting are performed at the usual season ; but these operations may
be performed at any time when the sap is in motion
Henderson, of Woodhall, a most superior cultivator of the Citrus tribe, considers cuttings as the quickest
mode of getting plants, and has practised it for thirty-seven years past : his directions are as follows : " Take
the strongest young shoots, and also a quantity of the tuo years old shoots ; these may be cut into lengths
from nine inches to eighteen inches. Take the leaves off the lower part of each cutting to the extent of about
five inches, allowing the leaves above that to remain untouched : then cut right across, undo an eye; and
make a small incision in an angular direction on the bottom of the cutting. When the cuttings are thus
prepared, take a pot, and fill it with sand ; size the cuttings, so that the short ones may be all together, and
those that arc taller in a different pot. Then, with a small dibble, plant them about rive inches deep in the
sand, and give them a good watering overhead, to settle the sand about them. Let them stand a day or t'vo

in a shady place, and if a frame be ready with bottom heat, plunge the pots to the brim. Shade them well
with a double mat, which may remain till they have struck root ; when rooted, take the sand and cuttings out
of the pot, and plant them into single pots, in the proper compost. Plunge the pots with the young plants
again into a frame, and shade them for four or five weeks, or till they are taken with the pots ; when they
may be gradually exposed to the light From various experiments, I found that pieces of two year old wood
struck quite well ; and in place, therefore, of putting in cuttings six or eight inches long, I have taken ofifcut-
tings from ten inches to two feet long, and struck them with equal success. Although I at first began to put
in cuttings only in the month of August, I now put them in at any time of the year, except when the plants are
making young wood. By giving them a gentle bottom heat, and covering them with a hand-glass, they will
generally strike root in seven weeks or two months. The citron is most easily struck, and is the freest grower ;
I, the-efore, frequently strike pieces eighteen inches long, and as soon as they are put into single pots, and
taken with the pots, they are grafted with other sorts, which grow freely. I am not particular as to the time
either of striking cuttings or of grafting " (Caled. Hort. Mem. iii. 308.)
At Genoa and Florence, citrus trees are grown in a strong yellow clay, which is richly manured ; and this
soil is considered by the lirst Italian gardeners as best suited to their natures.
The French gardeners, in preparing a compost for the orange-tree, endeavour to compensate for quantity by
quality ; because the pots or boxes in which the plants are placed ought always to be as small as possible, rela-
tively to the size of the tree. The following is the composition recommended : to a fresh loam, which contains
a third of clay, a third of sand, and a third of vegetable matter, and which has lain a long time in a heap, add
an equal bulk of half-rotten cow-dung. The following year turn it over twice. The succeeding yrar mix it

Class XIX.
Class XIX. — SYNGENESI A. Stamens 5. Anthers united by their edges.
This is one of the most extensive and best defined of all the Linnean classes. Its essential character depends,
as its name indicates, {<ruv, together, and yiviins, generation,) upon the adhesion of the anthers or male organs
of the Hower into a single tube. It comprehends the whole of the Corymb! fera?, Cichoracea?, and Cinaroce-
phahe of Jussieu ; and, with the exception of Acicarphea?, nothing else. The genera constituting the order
Monogamia of Linnauis are excluded by Linnean botanists of the present day.
In addition to the cohesion of the anthers, upon which this class immediately depends, it is further charac-
terized by the flowers, commonly called florets, being clustered together in heads, and inserted upon a common
receptacle, which is surrounded by an involucrum, commonly, but very improperly, termed calyx. The few
genera, such as Kuhnia, Euxenia, Acicarpha, &c, in which a union of anthers either does not exist at all, or
in a very incomplete degree, are therefore retained in Syngenesia, because of their congruity in the structure
of their inflorescence.
The real nature of the various constituent parts of syngenesious inflorescence being, from its complicated
nature, very puzzling to the unlearned, and, as it would seem, to some professors also, it may be useful to ex-
plain briefly the analogy the various parts bear to the organs of other plants, and the terms employed in de-
scribing them.
The Head or Capitu/um is a cluster of flowers of the nature of an umbel, inserted upon a common rachis,
which, by contraction or incomplete developement, assumes the form of a conical or flat body, out of which the
flowers proceed, and which is called a receptacle. This is surrounded by the involucrum. M. Cassini calls
the head Calathide.
The Involucrum is the most external part of the head. It consists of a more or less considerable number of
scales or leaves, placed in a single row, either distinctly from each other, or united at their edges, in which
case the involucrum is called one-leaved ; or placed in many rows, becoming gradually shorter as they are ex-
ternal, in which case they are called imbricated. If the external scales surround the internal at the base in a
regular manner, then the involucrum is said to be cajyculate. The involucrum was called common calyx by
Linnauis, and has been more recently denominated a perianthium. M. Cassini names it Periclinium.
The Receptacle (Clinanthium of Casshii) is a cellular fungous surf.ice surrounded by the involucrum, and
bearing the florets. It is either columnar, conical, flat, or depressed ; and naked, or covered with appendages
called hairs or bristles, according to their nature, or pales, when they are dilated and have a glumaceous ap-
pearance. If naked, and merely scarred by the insertions of the florets, it is called dotted or puncticulate ;
when the scars are more considerable and deeper, the receptacle is said to be scrobiculate ; if the insertions
are so deep as to appear to be divided by membranous partitions, it is cellular, or favose, or alveolate; if fur-
nished with hairs, it is villose ; if with palea?, it is paleaceous or chaffy.
The Palete are of the same nature as bractea?, and exist in various degrees of developement. Occasionally
they are as large as the scales of the involucrum, which they in that case closely resemble.
The flower, usually termed Floret, consists of two parts, the ovarium and the corolla, each with its appen-
dages.
The Ovarium is always one-celled, but it occasionally has two additional obsolete cells, as in Arctotis. It is
either naked, or covered with hairs in various degrees, occasionally becoming enveloped in tine wool, and it is
surmounted by an organ named the pappus.
The Pappus has generally been esteemed a superior calyx, and it is the opinion of M. Cassini that it is analo-
gous to the scales of the receptacle, and the leaves of the involucrum.
The Corolla is placed on the top of the ovarium. It is either funnel-shaped, with a limb divided into four or
five equal lobes, in which case. the florets are denominated tubular ; or it is split on one side, and spread open
into the form of a strap, when the florets are called ligulate ; or it is divided into two portions, of which one
is unequal to the other ; this form is called bilabiate or two-lipped. Bilabiate corollas may be either ligulate
cr flosculous, according to the species to which they belong. Occasionally the corolla appears to be absent.
The Stamens are attached to the orifice of the tube of the corolla, just below the limb. Their filaments are
usually, but not always, distinct ; their anthers are adherent by their edges, and furnished with a little mem-
branous appendage at the tip, and sometimes with two spur-like processes at their base.
The Style is filiform, and either split at the summit into two linear spreading stigmas, or consists of a single
piece from the base to the summit. The form and surface of the stigma, and the upper part of the style are
subject to a great diversity of appearances, which are of the utmost importance in determining the affinities of
the genera.
The Florets are either hermaphrodite, unisexual, or neuter. Upon these differences of sex the orders of Lin-
naeus are founded.
In Syngenesia atqualis the florets arc all hermaphrodites.
In Syngenesia tuperfiua, those of the disk or centre are hermaphrodite, of the circumference or ray female,
(and superfluous.)
In Syngenesia frustranca, those of the disk arc hermaphrodite, of the ray neuter, (and useless.)
In Syngenesia ncccssaria, those of the disk are male, of the ray female, (and necessary.)
Syngenesia segregata is only characterized by the heads themselves being clustered and surrounded by a com-
mon involucrum.
The genera of Syngenesia have always attracted much attention from systematic botanists, who have met
with very unequal success in characterizing them. The older botanists comprised them all under a few general
heads or names. Toumefort, with his usual happiness, pointed out a large proportion of the most natural ge-
nera. Vaillant established a considerable number. Linnaeus, profiting by the labours of his predecessors, re-
jecting some genera, and dividing others, increased their number, and adapted them to his sexual system, in
nearly the same order in which they exist at the present day. Jussieu, by applying to the genera the princi-
ples of his natural method, reduced them to an arrangement much superior in point both of facility and of
natural affinity to that of his northern rival. Bi'.t h?w.!Per meritorious the labours of these great systematists
may have been, much remained to be effected, even among their own plants, by those who followed them. The
indefatigable Gartner, who worked upon the only satisfactory or philosophical principle, that of strict analysis,
soon discovered that the combinations of Linneeus and .Tussieu were often too vague and ill defined to accord
with his notions of accurate subdivision. Hence many other genera arose. But since his days, the extent of
Syngenesia has, like all other parts of botanical science, increased exceedingly, and has arrived in our days at
a state little short of absolute confusion. Injudicious or superficial botanists, impressed with the fear of inno-
vation, and with a pious reverence even for the errors of those who went before them, have from time to time-
crowded the genera of Jussieu and Linnaeus with the most incongruous species, and so have rendered many of
those which were originally pure and simple, heterogeneous masses of species. Much has been done by out
learned countryman, Mr. Robert Brown, to reduce to order this class of individuals, and, as far as his published
observations have extended, with the happiest success. In France, an ingenious and accurate observer, Mr.
Henry Cassini, has undertaken a revision of the whole class, upon principles peculiar to himself; and it must
be ailowed, that what he has executed has given ample room for regret that he has not published more. Un-
fortunately, his observations arc scattered over the face of many books, and are in no case in such a state of
arrangement as to be extensively useful. It is hoped that a period will soon arrive when he, or at least some
Ci ns \1\. IYNGENESIA. i i
<n his countrymen, will place in one view the result of his labours, so M to enable the world to judge with mote
accuracy, both of their extent, and of their real importance In defining the hunts of the genera anil their orders.
The style and stigma, which had been previously almost overlooked, have furnished M f II Wild with what
appear to be beautiful distinguishing mirks of his orders; and it is upon these organs that mueh of the pecu-
liarity of his arrangement depends. In the mean while, till it can be ascertained what the Ultimate division
of Composite is likely to be, it has been considered more prudent in this work to indicate none of the divisions
of either M. Cassini, or of his fellow, labourers in France or elsewhere.
In .1 popular point of view, Syngenesia may be considered interesting in a high degree. It abounds in plants
of ornament, all of which are, without exception, of easy cultivation. It is not necessary to particularize the
merits of the brilliant varieties of the Dahlia, or of the Chinese Chrysanthemum, which are the chiefest orna-
ments of every autumnal garden ; nor to point out the lieauty of the various tribes of Aster, Helianthus,
Coreopsis, Xeranthemum, or Gnaphalium. These and an hundred others must be familiar to every lover of
K irdening. It is, however, worth remarking, that nearly all syngenesious plants are autumn flowers. In the
tropics, many become trees of considerable dimensions j in temperate climates, they arc mostly herbaceous or
low hushes.
With regard to the qualities of syngenesious plants, considered economically or medicinally, it may be stated,
that, whatever they may be, they consist in a bitter principle, and an oily secretion. But these vary in particular
In some the bitter is combined with a resinous principle, by which its powers are increased
in different degrees. In those plants in which the resin is found in small quantities only, and mixed with a
bitter or astringent mucilage, tonic, stomachic, and febrifugal properties seem to be acquired, as in the camo-
mile, the golden rod, the feverfew, and the Eupatorium perrbliatum ; and the stimulant powers of these plants
ap|>car to increase in proportion as the resin is abundant. Some kinds are anthelmintic, as the Wormwood and
tansy ; others are emmenagogue, as the feverfew, the yarrow, and various kinds of wormwoods. Certain spe-
cies possess sudorific qualities, as the Eupatorium, the yarrow, the wormwood, and the marigold ; others,
again, are powerful diuretics, as Liatris ; while stimulating powers exist in considerable activity in others, as
in the Sneezewort and Arnica. The Spilanthus, Anthemis, Pyrethrum, and some others, excite salivation.
The Eupatorium Ayapana of Brazil, and the Guaco of Peru, which is another species of Eupatorium, are most
powerful alexiterics. According to the analysis of M. Braconnot, the wormwood owes its bitterness loan
extremely bitter animalized matter, which forms a little less than one fifth of its weight ; the same chemist
also states that plant to contain a volatile oil, and an acid, apparently new, which is found in combination with
potash. Before the perfect developeinent of the leaves, the bitter principle is so much diluted with insipid
mucilage, that the young shoots of some of the thistle tribe, the Cardoon for example, are used for culinary
purposes ; and it is probable, that it is owing to the small proportion which the bitter bears to the whole mass',
tli it the receptacle of the artichoke, of the Onopordum, and of the cotton thistle, is found fit for food. The
corollas of the Cardoon, and of many thistles, have the power of curdling milk. The juice of the lettuce and
other cichoraceous plants is milky, bitter, astringent, and narcotic. In a wild state, the narcotic principle is so
abundant, that the inspissated juice of Lactuca virosa has been used as a substitute for opium, and with much
■ But under the effect of cultivation, the mucilage is so much more abundant than any other substance,
that the same species often form well-known articles of wholesome and agreeable food And, indeed, under
any circumstances, wild or domesticated, the young shoots, when the narcotic principle is scarcely developed, are
frequently eaten with safety; it is for the same reason, namely, the incomplete formation of the bitter principle,
and the superabundance of mucilage, on account of the absence of light, that the blanched leaves of cardoons
and i hiicory, and the white roots of the Scorzoncra and the Salsafy, are capable of being eaten without inconve-
nience The seeds of all syngenesious plants abound in oil, which is expressed from those of the Madia of
t bill, the Verbesina sativa, and the common sunflower. Owing to the difficulty of procuring this oil in a pun
i ■ virtues are not ascertained with much accuracy. They are generally believed to be slightly purgative

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1620. Geropogan. So named from yi^m, an old man, and itvym, a beard ; in allusion to the long silky
'jeard of the seeds.
1621. Tra£opo«on. From v°a.yo;, a goat, and Ttuym, a beard ; a name applied in the same way as Geropogon.
T. porrifolius, or Salsafy, has a long tapering fleshy white root, which is used like carrots or parsneps, and culti-
vated in gardens for that purpose The flavor of the root is mild and sweetish ; dressed like asparagus, there
is some resemblance in taste. It is occasionally grown in British gardens, and a good deal in those of France
and Germany. It is raised and treated in all respects similarly to the carrot. T. pratensis answers equally well
for culture as this species, and was formerly preferred to it.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
given rise to this belief, rather than any quality inherent in the plant : for it is a rule to which there arc few
exceptions, that all plants used as food by man, possess very inactive qualities. If their action was powerful,
they would be unfit for food.
Scorzonera bispanica is esteemed diuretic, stimulant, and sudorific. A drink is made from it for variola ;
and a distilled water is also prepared from it. It is also an esculent of occasional culture. The root is carmt-
shaped, about the thickness of one's finger, tapering gradually to a line point, and thus bearing some re-
semblance to the body of a viper. The outer rind being scraped off, the root is steeped in water, in order to
abstract a part of its bitter flavor. It is then boiled or stewed in the manner of carrots or parsneps. The
roots are fit for use in August, and continue good till the following spring. Its culture is the same as that of
carrot or salsafy.
1626. Picridium. A diminutive of Picris, which see. Picridium sativum, Picridium cultive, Fr., is sown in
the spring as a small salad, and, if not allowed to become too old before it is cut, is an excellent vegetable, with
a pleasant delicate flavor, wholly devoid of the bitterness of endive, and of the insipidity of very young lettuces.
P. tingitanum is a favorite border annual.
1627. Sonchus. Sw^os, in Greek, said to be altered from tropins, hollow, or soft, in allusion to the soft feeble
stem of the plants. Sonchus oleraceus, Sow-thistle, Eng., Hasenkohl, Ger., seems to have nearly the same
properties as the Dandelion and Succory, but it is little regarded as a medicine. It is a favorite food with
hares and rabbits ; and is said to be eaten by goals, sheep and swine, but not to be relished by horses. The
young tender leaves arc in some countries boiled and eaten as greens : and it is even affirmed, that the tender

History, Use, Propagation, Culture.
Facturarium, and was first brought into notice by Dr. Duncan of Edinburgh, who finds it can be adminis-
tered with effect in cases where poppy opium is inadmissible. Details of the process of collecting and preparing
the article, will be found in the Caledonian Horticultural Memoirs. (Vol i. 160-259. ii. 314, and iv. 153.)
The culture of lettuce as a salad plant is familiar to every one who has a garden. It is sown monthly, or
oRener, throughout the year, in order to have a successional supply, and thinned out or transplanted to increase
the size and succulency. The latter quality is greatly increased by watering in summer ; and blanching,
another desirable property, is promoted by tying up the leaves when the plant has attained about two-thirds of
its usual size. Snails and slugs are very fond of this plant, and should either be watched and hand-picked,
or the ground well watered with lime water, which effectually destroys them. The lettuce, unlike the cabbage
and spiiiage, is a vegetable which can be grown to as great perfection 'in a warm as in a temperate climate, pro.
vided it be grown on rich soil, and abundantly supplied with water. Hence the lettuces of Paris, Rome, and
Calcutta, are as large and tender as tliose of London and Amsterdam.
This genus is the type of the tribe Lactuce,e of M. Cassini. It differs essentially from all other tribes of
Composite, in having a divided or ligulate corolla only, and from nearly all other tribes in its style, which can
be compared to that of Vernonieae only. The radiant head of flowers is a character common both to
Lactucea? and Nassauvieae. The greater part of Lactuceae are found in Europe, a smaller number in Asia and
Africa, very few in America, and in the southern hemisphere none at all.
1629. Chondrilla. Derived from x"^^, a lump. Dioscorides says, it bears on its stems little lumps of
gummy matter. But Theophrastus speaks of the grumous or tubercled roots of his Chondrilla. The plant
now so called is an inconspicuous perennial plant, of no recorded use.
1630. Prenanthes. From *%hkk, drooping, and u>&os, a flower. The heads of flowers of all the species are

nodding. Prennnthes serpentaria grows to the height of two feet, bearing pale purple flowers. It is known
by the inhabitants of Virginia and Carolina under the name of the Lion's Foot, and is in high esteem as a
ciire for the bite of the rattlesnake. 1T» juice of the plant boiled In milk is taken inwardly, and steeped
leaves, frequently changed, are applied to toe wound. It must not he confounded with Prenanthes rubicunda,
called False Lion's Foot, which is a less powerful plant
Prenanthes virgata has a very line effect in large plantations.
1631. Leonlodon. So named from &*», a lion, and tin;, a tooth ; in reference to the deep tooth-like divisions
of the leaves. The English name Dandelion, is a corruption of the French translation of this word, Dent <le
lion; in German VJuffenrohrlein and Diitterhtuhmr. It has been recommended as a winter salad, blanched
like Endive ; but it possesses too much hitter principle to render it tit for table under any management. Deal
de lion, !•>., from its cut leaves, and Pin en Ht, in French, and most other European languages, from its
diuretic qualities. The tender leaves in spring, used in compound salads, are equal to those of Endive or
Succory. The roots, which are fusiform, and abound in a milky juice, are eaten raw as a salad by the French,
and boiled by the Germans, like Salsafy and Scorzonera. Dried and ground into powder, they aflbrd a sub-
stitute for coffee, in all respects equal to that of Chicory roots. It is a ditlicult weed to extirpate, became
every inch of root will form bud* and fibres, and thus constitute a new plant. Swine are fond of it, and go.us
will eat it , but sheep and cows dislike it, and by horses it is refused.
1638. Apaigia. At«j-,i« is the (.rick name of a plant now unknown. It has been employed by
PBlechamp and Scopoli fora specie* Of Hicraciuin. At the present day it is given to a genus of weedy plants,
with the appearance of lxMjntodon.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1639. Helminthia. An abridgment of Helminthotheca, a name employed for this genus by Vaillant. It is
derived from i\fMv:, a worm, and &*ixy, a case : in allusion to the corrugated seeds, which may be fancied to
resemble bundles of little worms. The genus was united by Linnaeus with Picris, but has been again separated
by modern botanists.
1640. Myoseris. So named from ftvs fu/o;, a mouse, and neis, lettuce ; a name invented for the purpose of
maintaining a resemblance in nomenclature with Hyoseris, Lagoseris, and other similar plants.
1641. Tolpis. A name invented by Adanson, ahd supposed to have no meaning. Handsome annual
flowers.
1642. Andryala. A name, the meaning of which has not been discovered. Rather pretty plants, natives of
the south of Europe and north of Africa.
1643. Rothia. Named by Schreber, in honor of Dr. A. G. Roth, author of a Flora Germanica, in 1788,
Catalecta Botanica, in 1797, and other works. It has been united with Andryala by Richard.
1644. Krigia. Named after Dr. Krieg, a German botanist, who accompanied Mr. Vernon to America in
fearch of plants. See Vernonia. A pretty little North American plant, with grassy leaves and bright yellow
neat flowers.

i« described by Pliny. Dalechamp, his commentator, derives the word from iivt, sweet, and thu, to breathe,'
on account of a pleasant flavor communicated to other vegetables in cookery. But the modern genus, which
consists of uninteresting weeds, has not been discovered to possess this quality.
1647. Bobrrlia. Named by the authors of the Flore Francaise, after M. Robert, a Corsican botanist A
small weedy plant resembling Dandelion.
1648. Seriota. A diminutive of rt(n, chicory. Small chicoraceous weeds of the south of Europe. S.
Alliatc is not, as its name would lead one to suspect, named from any smell of garlic which it possesses, but in
honor of Prince Joseph Alliata, a Sicilian nobleman, and patron of Bivona Bernardi.
1649. Soldevilla. So named by Lagasca, apparently in honor of some botanist A little Spanish weed with
terminal solitary flowers.
1650. Hypochteris. From t«ro, for, and *"{*, a pig ; Porcelle, Fr , for the same reason, vir, (hat pips eat
the roots with aridity. All the species are uninteresting weeds.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1C51. Laptana. From XatraZu, to purge. The Lapsana, says Pliny, gently relaxes the body. L communis
is called nipple-wort, in English, and herbe aux mamelles, Fr., having been formerly applied to the breasts of
women to allay the irritation occasioned by nursing.
1652. Zacintha. A plant growing in the island of Zactntha or Zante, It was formerly included in Lapsana,
under the name of L. Zacintha.
1653. Rhagadiolus. From ^aya.;, a slit ; each division of the calyx being hollowed out in the middle so as
to resemble a furrow, or little gutter.
1654. Moscharia. This plant gives out an agreeable smell of musk. An annual plant, with stem-clasping
pinnatifid deeply cut leaves, found in sandy waste places in Chili, where it is commonly called Almixelillo.
1655. Catananche. Vaillant explains the meaning of this word, by deriving it from the two Greek worJs,
xu.Tv., and uimyzri, necessity : that is to say, a plant which compels admiration. What is certainly known oi"
its origin is, that it was employed by Dioscorides to designate a plant used by the women of Thessaly, in
philtres and love potions. The modern genus, which contains two or three species of ornamental border
annuals, can have no reference to that of the ancients, one kind of which is believed to have been Ornithopus
compressus, and another Astragalus pugniformis. John Bauhin calls Lathyrus Nissolia by the name of
Catananche leguminosa.
1656. Triptilion. A genus instituted by the authors of the Flora Peruviana, and named from -reus, three,
and xnkcv, a feather, on account of the three divisions of the pappus. The species mentioned above is a very
pretty little annual, or rather biennial plant, flowering during all the winter months in anv place whence frost is
excluded, but it requires not to be kept too dry. There is a fine species in Chili, with bright blue flowers, but it
has not been yet introduced. The inhabitants of South America employ the flowers of the different species
as everlasting flowers, for which their dryness renders them very well adapted.
1657. Cichorium. In Greek xigaigij. De Theis's remarks are upon this subject excellent. Bodams, he
oliservee, Linnaeus, and others, have derived this name from xiu, to come, and x^'O't the field ; that is to say

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1660. Arctium. From a^xres, a bear, {arth, Celtic) ; on account of the rough bristly fruit, which may be
compared to the coarse hair of a bear. Lappa is derived from Uap, a hand, in Celtic, because it lays hold of
every thing near it. The burdock is too familiar to every schoolboy to need illustration. It is equally com.
mon in Europe and Japan, by road sides and on ditch banks. Few quadrupeds, except the ass, will eat the
plant ; but birds feed on the seeds, and snails and caterpillars on the leaves. The stems, stripped of their rind
before the flowers appear, may be eaten, either boiled or raw, with oil and vinegar. Withering says, a decoc-
tion of the roots is esteemed by some equal to that of Sarsaparilla. Burnt green, between the time of flowering
and seeding, three pounds of the ashes produced sixteen ounces of very white alkaline salt, as good as the best
potash.
1661. Serratula. A diminutive of serra, a saw ; the leaves being edged with cutting teeth. Plants with the
habit and qualities of thistles. Serratula tinctoria dyes cloth of a yellow colour.
1662. Saussurea. Named in honor of the celebrated Swiss philosopher Horace Benedict de Saussure, who,
among his other acquirements, possessed a considerable knowledge in botany. He died in 1799, in the fifty-
ninth year of his age.
1663. Carduvs. This word appears to be derived from ard, a point, in Celtic, in allusion to the numerous

points with which It is beset C. marianus, the milk-thistle, derived its name from the Virgin Mary, some of
whose milk is said to hare fallen upon the leaves of the plant, and changed them to white. An extensive genus
of rather handsome weeds. C. Personata is said to have been so called, because its ample leaves were formerly
used as a mask (persona). Some of the gigantic species make handsome ornaments for the shrubbery, but
the greatest number are nuisances to the husbandman ; some on account of their deep vivacious roots, which
cannot be eradicated without extreme difficulty ; but the greater n umber because of their bulky herbage, and
the extensive dissemination of their seeds by the wind.
The footstalks of the leaves of most or all of the species of this and the allied genera might be eaten in the
manner of Cardoons, if similarly blanched. The dried flowers of C. arabicus and nutans will curdle milk.
The seeds of all the species of Serratula, Cnlcus, Onopordum, and similar genera, are greedily eaten by small
birds, especially the finches.
The Carduinee of M. Cassini differ from Carlineae of the sameauthor, in the filament* being hairy or papil-
lose, from Centauries in the strucuire of ovarium and ot pappus, and from Kchinopseir, to which they bear a
general resemblance, by many very important characters. The species inhabit Europe, VsU,and Africa; there
rcely any in America, and none In the southern hemisphere.

1664. Silybum. A name under which Greek writers describe a plant not well known at present Sprengel
refers it to S. mananura. This plant was formerly cultivated, and the young leaves used in spring as a salad
or boiled as pot greens ; the young stalks, peeled and soaked in water, to extract a part of their bitterness were
also eaten, and were said to be excellent In the spring of the second vear, the root is prepared like sals'afy or
skirret; and the receptacle of the flower is pulpy, and eats like that of the artichoke. In Apulia the whole
plant is much used as fodder for cattle
1665. Cnicus. This is a name under which Dioscorides describes a prickly rough plant : derived from xviia
to prick. It is now referred to a tribe of plants having such characters in an eminent degree. Acama and'
Ensithales are both names by which the ancients distinguished plants, either the very same as those now so
called, or very similar to them. The tender stalks of C. palustris, as of most of the species, being peeled are
eatable either raw or boiled. C. arvensis is well known as one of the most troublesome weeds in arable
land. It is never found, however, in very sandy, gravelly, or peaty soils ; but generally in such as are loamy
and dry. An instance is given in the Farmer's Magazine, of the descending roots of this plant having been
dug out of a quarry nineteen feet long ; nor is it less remarkable for its horizontal roots. Mr. Curtis planted
about two inches of a root in his garden in April, and by November following it had thrown out under ground
atolones on every side, some of them eight feet long ; some of these stolones had thrown up leaves five feet

from the original root The whole together, when dug up and washed, weighed four pounds. In the spring
following, it again made its appearance, on or about where the small piece was originally planted T h ere were
between fifty and sixtv young plants, which must have sprung from fragments of the roots that had eluded the
gardener's search, though he was particularly careful in extracting them. From these facts it may readily be
conceived how difficult it is to eradicate this weed from arable land ; a naked fallow, with frequent and deep
ploughing, will not accomplish it, unless the season is more than usually dry. Laying land down to grass,
Keeping it in that state seven or eight years, and during the whole time pulling up every shoot as soon
as it appears, is found fully more effectual than a naked fallow. But the plant is so common by road
sides and seeds so abundantly, that it is hardly possible to effect its extermination. In common field
lands', and others indifferently cultivated, it often forms the larger half of the produce, and formerly used
to be pulled when beginning to come into flower, and given as food to horses and cows. Those who |P""
this weed require to be furnished with strong gloves, or thistle pincers. {Ency. of Agr. \ 2394.) *f>™e
English botanists seem doubtful if horses and cows will eat it ; but those who know any thing ot tne
history of agriculture in Scotland will recollect, that before the introduction of naked fallows and turnips, it
formed the suppering of housed cattle, during five or six weeks of every summer. The ashes of the plant yield
a very pure vegetable alkali. C. canus has fleshy white roots like the skirret, and may be dressed and eateu

;n the same manner. C. lanceolatus is one of the most common and noxious weeds of the genus, chiefly on
account of its great bulk, its numerous downy seeds, and the facility with which they are distributed by the
wind : its dried flowers curdle milk. C. helenioides, used to be called the melancholy thistle, and was used bv
quacks as a cure for madness. C. Casaubona? is so named after Casaubona, herbarist to the Grand Duke of '
luscany, who sent the seed to John Bauhin. C. syriacus is spotted with white, as are a number of Egyptian
plants. C. oleraceus, according to Schreber, is not eaten by cattle; but the Russians are said to boil the
leaves in the spring, and eat them as coleworts. The tender stalks of C. cernuus are so used in Siberia
1666. Onopordum. A name employed by Pliny for a plant which he describes too imperfectly to be recog-
nized now. The virtues which he ascribes to it, and whence the name has been derived («; and *t$u\ cer-
tainly have no existence in the modern genus, which consists of noble thistle-like plants, that, if allowed plenty
of room, form very magnificent specimens of annual vegetation. O. acanthium (from its leaves being like
those of the Acanthus) was formerly used like the artichoke and Cardoon. The seeds of this plant, unlike
Uiose of other thistles, are strongly defended by the calyx, and are not subject to be blown about by winds.
1 he whole plant is white, tomentose, and one of the most magnificent of the family
1667. Berardia. So named by Villars, after M. Berard, a botanist of Grenoble
1668. Cynara Said to ibe derived from «<«., a dog, on account of the stiff hard spines of the involucrum,
which resemble the teeth of a dog. The English word Artichoke is said to be derived from the Celtic art, a
spine, and chaulx, a cabbage ; but it must be confessed that the word is very like the Arabic name of the plant,
Larciojffo or Kharchtof . C. scolymus is a well known garden esculent. In some parts of France and Italy it
is eaten raw in its wild state by the common people. According to Gerarde, it was introduced into this
country from Italy, but is become, by reason of the great moisture which our country is subject unto,"
greater and better than those of Italy ; a circumstance not to be doubted, and applicable to many other plants
ot culture ; tor it is a tact, that art can in many cases surpass nature ; always, however, working upon nature's
principles. The artichoke is one of those plants the most patient of drought, and in this unusually dry and
hot season (182a) was almost the only vegetable procurable in the neighbourhood of Paris, during three or
four weeks in July and August Once in the seventeenth century, and again about 1739, most of the arti-
chokes in England were destroyed by irost, but replaced from France. There are three varieties in cultivation,
the conical, French, or oval ; the globe, which has a large dusky purplish head : and the dwarf globe, a
prolific variety, which is smaller. The parts used are the lower part of the leaves of the calyx : the
fleshy receptacle! of the flower, freed from the bristles and seed down, vulgarly called the choke ; and some-

times the tender central leafstalk in a blanched state like the Cardoon. Medicinally, the plant is reputed to be
aperient, stomachic, and somewhat heating. It is said to dye a good yellow, and the flowers curdle milk.
The plant is propagated by suckers in March and April, and requires a light rich soil, well dunged, and
pulverised to a good depth. The leaves being large, the plants are placed in rows at four feet distance, and
two feet apart in the row. They will produce some heads the first season, a full crop the next, and, if well
manured, will last for five or six years. The plants require to be covered a foot thick with litter during winter,
which is removed, and the ground dressed in March and April. The heads will appear in the beginning of June.
When the artichoke is to be cultivated as Cardoon, the plants are to be cut over by the surface about mid-
summer ; in September they will have produced leaves about two feet high ; they are then bound close with a
wreath of hay or straw, and earth drawn round them. The blanching will be perfected in a month or six weeks.
Bauhin thought the Cardoon a hybrid from the common artichoke, to which it bears a great resemblance.
The tender stalks of the inner leaves, rendered white and crisp by earthing up, are used for stewing, and for
soups and salads during winter, like celery. It requires the same soil as the artichoke, to be planted at three
or four feet apart in May, or sown where it is to remain in March. In September the leaves may be tied
together and earthed up, and in October and November they will be blanched from one to three feet in
length.
With the florets of Cynara Cardunculus, which the Portuguese call Cardo do coalho, milk was formerly
coagulated by the people of Portugal, as it is by rennet in England.
1669. Carlina. Olivier de Serres says, this plant was named after the famous Charlemagne, whose army was
cured of the plague by means of this plant Linnseus ascribes the name to the Emperor Charles V., whose
army was relieved from the plague in Barbary in the same way. C. acaulis has black woody roots an
.'nch thick, the upper part of which, with the receptacle of the flower, when tender, may be eaten, but the
root of the adult plant t>ecoracs acrimonious, and is recommended as an alexipharmic. It contains an acrid
resinous principle, by which it stimulates the solids, dissolves the humours, and promotes inspiration. C.
vulgaris is found all over Europe in dry barren soils. The flowers expand in dry, and close in moist weather,
retaining this property a long time.
Upon this and a few other genera M. Cassini has founded a tribe-, which he denominates Carlinea;, which
although possessing no very precise characters of difference, is, he believes, distinct from both his CenUurieiP
and Cirduincs, from which it may always be distinguished by the perfect sruootbucsj of the filaments. The
i CarlinesB are found in every part of the world.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1670. Atractylis. Vaillant {Mem. Acad. Sc. 1718.) derives this from cTeaxvos, a distaff, because the light
steins were very fit to make spindles.
1671. Acarna. A name under which Theophrastus describes a plant resembling a thistle. Willdenow
applied it to the present genus, which consists of thistle-like plants.
1672. Stokesia. Named in honor of Jonathan Stokes, M.D., well known as the coadjutor of Dr. Withering
in his botanical arrangement of British plants. A perennial plant, with large handsome blue flowers.
1673. Stobtea. Named after Dr. Stobaeus, of Lund, one of Linnxus's earliest patrons, and said to have been
a practical naturalist.
1674. Onobroma. From mot, an ass, and fya/Aiit mod, in allusion to the worthlessness of its herbage. Thistle-
like plants of little beauty.
1675. Carthamus. From its Arabic name qortom, a word which signifies to paint, on account of the fine
color yielded by the flowers. Tournefort, with little reason, derives it from the Greek xaraHiv, to purge
The flowers of Carthamus tinctorius are used by the Chinese to give some of the fine rose, scarlet, purple, and
violet colors to their silks. For this purpose, the flowers are thrown into an infusion of some alkali, and left to
macerate ; the colors are afterwards drawn out by the addition of lemon juice in various proportions, or of
any other vegetable acid.
It is cultivated at present in many parts of Europe, and in the Levant, whence great quantities are annually
imported into England for dyeing and painting. In Spain it is grown in gardens, as Marygolds are in England,
to color soups, olives, and other dishes. The Jews in Poland are remarkably fond of it, and mix it with their
bread, and most of their viands. According to Houghton, it was formerly cultivated in Gloucestershire, both
for the flowers and seed. The common people took it for saffron, and used it in their puddings, cakes, and

bread ; but by putting in too great a quantity they found it communicate a purgative quality, and gave up Its
use. It is still, however, used in this way by some pastrycooks. In Germany it is cultivated on light land
well pulverised ; it is sown in rows about eighteen inches distance, and afterwards thinned to three or four
inches apart in the row : in September the plants begin to flower, and the field is then gone over once a week,
for six or seven weeks, to gather the expanded florets, which are dried in a kiln in the same manner as true
saffron. Turkeys and geese are said to feed greedily on the seed, and in a short time become very fat
C. lanatus is used by the women of the south of France and Spain for distaffs, and hence it had the name

their corolla, which is not ligulate, and from every other tribe by their style, which is absolutely the same as
that of Lactuceaa. The greater part of Vernonieae are found in America; a few in Asia and Africa, but
none in Europe.
1681. Ammobium. From a-jjuyun, sand, and fiia>, to live, in allusion to the places where it grows. A pretty
half-hardy New Holland herbaceous plant, with dry white involucral scales, like a Gnaphalium.
1682. Liatris. A word of unknown meaning. A genus of charming North American herbaceous plants.
They should be taken out of the borders in the autumn, and preserved in pots till the succeeding spring.
Of Liatris odoratissima, the leaves when dry give out a very pleasant smell resembling Vanilla, and which lasts
for years. It is called the Carolina Vanilla plant.
liatris squarrosa is a very handsome species, with large heads of most beautiful flowers of a rich purple. It
and L. scariosa are known in North America under the name of rattlesnake's master. In case of being bitten
by this reptile, the bruised bulbs of the plants are applied to the wound, while, at the same time, a decoctiou
in milk is taken inwardly.

1685. Eupatormm. This plant, says Pliny, derives its name from Eupator King of Pontus, who lirst
u«ed it in medicine. Aya-pana is the vernacular name of the species so called among the natives of the
banks of the river Amazon. The trilie of Kupatoriese is distinguished from Vcmonioa.1 by its style. They
are chiefly found in America, very few inhabit Asia, scarcely any Africa, and not one has been found in Europe.
The Eupatormm iK-rtoliatum has some reputation as a medicinal plant. A dissertation u|k>ii the subject of
its merits was published a few years since by an American physician, from which it appeal* that the virtues
of the plant reside chiefly in the leaves, and that the most efficient mode of exhibiting it is by means of a
simple decoction. The medical |Mi\vers of Eupatoriiu.i are, as it* sensible propertie* would stem to indicate,
those of a tonic stimulant. Given in moderate quanH'CS, either in substance, or in cold infusii r decoi tion,
it promotes digestion, strengthen* the viscera, and restore* tone to the system. Like other vegetable b.tt.Tj,

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
if given in large quantities, especially in warm infusion or decoction, it proves emetic, sudorific, and aperient.
Even in cold infusion, it tends to bring on diaphoresis. The plant is also stated to be an excellent remedy for
the core of intermittent fevers. When employed as a tonic, this plant may be taken in doses of twenty oi
thirty grains, or a teacup full may be used of the infusion rendered moderately bitter. When intended to act
as an emetic, a strong decoction may be made from an ounce of the plant in a quart of water boiled to a pint

1686. Dumeriiia. Named after M. A. M. Constant Dumeril, author of an Elementary Treatise upon Natural
History, published in one volume octavo, at Paris, In 1801. Small half-shrubby South American plants, with
firm hairy leaves.
1687. Ageratum. A name employed by Dioscorides, and probably applied by him to some plants similar to
what we call properly " everlastings;" it is derived from a., privative, and ywa;, old age, because it never
grows old ; that is to say, always preserves its color.
1688. Calestina. From ctslestis, blue, in allusion (o the color of the flowers.
1689. Stevia. Dedicated by C.tvanilks to the memory of Peter James Esteve, a Spanish physician of the
sixteenth century. He left behind him a dictionary of the plants natives of the kingdom of Valentia.
1630. Cephalophora. From jejfotAtj, a head, and ipt^eu, to bear, its flowers being united in little heads.
1691. Ampherephis. From a,/j.fy,»tif>is. which signifies well covered, on account of the double involucrum of

black points. S. salivaria is used by the natives of South America to relieve the tooth-ache by the salivation
which it produces copiously. The flower-heads of & oleracca are an excellent ingredient in salads, on account
of their agreeable and lasting piquancy.

Cor their fleshy awkward looking stems, others for their discolored leaves. The succulent kinds require to be
grown in old rubbish, and to be treated as directed for Mesembryantbemums. The leaves of some tpeciea
(C. procumbens and soncbifoua) are used as salad by the Chinese ; and those of C Ficoides ;:re sometimes
pickled by the French.
i Kleinia is called cabl>age tree, from tlio resemblance which the stalks have to those of the cabbage , and
carnation tree, from the inane of the loaves and color of the flowers.
Upon Cacalia alpina, \c , M. ( '.issiiii has founded h.s genus Adenostyles and tribe of Adenostytae ; dis-
tinguished from Scnecionese, to which Cacalia belongs, by the roughness of all the back of the two lo i at tl e

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1702. Kleinia. Named after James Henry Klein, a German botanist, who published, in 1719, a dissertation
upon the Juniper.
1703. Ethulia. A word formed by Linnanis without any explanation of its meaning. It is not easy to under-
stand wherefore Vaillant's more ancient name of Sparganophorus should not have been adopted.
1704. Piqueria. So named by Cavanilles, in honor of Andreas Piquerio, a Spanish botanist, who published
a translation of Hippocrates, in 1757.
1705. Chrysocoma. From wvtros, gold, and xo/uri, hair, in allusion to the tufts of yellow flowers with which
the stems are terminated. Tne specific name Comaurea is a mere translation of the generic appellation.
Linosvris, the name of another species, is so called from linum, flax, and osyris, an ancient name for a plant
with long flexible branches and flax-like leaves, which is the character of C. linosyris ; which, when handled,
sends forth a very fine aromatic smell.
1706. Tarchonanthus. Tarchon is a name given by the Arabian physicians to the Artemisia Dracunculus,
and is the root of our English word Tarragon. Av&o; signifies flower, and the word thus compounded may
be Englished Tarragon-flower.
1707. Calea. Derived from xuXn, beautiful. The species are ornamental shrubs of South America, with
undivided leaves, and corymbose, terminal, or axillary heads of yellowish purple flowers. Mr. Brown's histoi7

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1715. Otanthus. From vs turos, an ear, and avS-o;, a flower, in allusion to the appendages which are placed
on each side ot the base ot the florets. An infusion of the leaves and stem is said to be employed successfully
in the east in cases of stone and gravel.
1716. Caleacte. So called because it is the ornament of the sea coasts where it grows, and derived from
xacXo;, beautiful, and uzti), the sea shore.
1717. Athanasia. From a, privative, and 5-av«T«s, death ; that is to say, a plant which does not perish. But
the application of the word, as far as the present genus is concerned, is far from obvious.
1718. Balsamita. Derived from fittXa-afjuy, balm, in allusion to its strong balsamic smell. Ugly plants of no
merit whatever. B. vulgaris has the English name Costmary, from the Greek Ketflo;, an aromatic shrub, and
Mary ; the Virgin Mary's costus : from its being put into ale, it has our old English name of Ale-cost. It is
more aromatic and has a pleasanter smell than tansy, to which it is nearly allied.
1719. Pentzia. Named by Thunberg, after his pupil Charles John Pentz. A bushy branching hoary shrub,
with little yellow flowers.

1790. Tanacetum. An alteration of Athanasia, which see. Tunaisic, Fr., Tansy, Eng., Reinfahren, Ger
The common Tansy has a strong aromatic smell, and an extremely bitter taste. It is stimulant and carmina-
tive ; and its seeds are reckoned anthelmintic and sudorific. It is said to drive bugs away from a bed in which
it is laid. A distilled water and a kind of stomachic bitter are prepared from it. The young leaves are
shredded down and employed to give color and flavor to puddings ; they arc also used in omelets and cakes,
and those of the curled variety for garnishing.
1721. Artemisia. Artemis was one of the names of Diana, the goddess of chastity. The plant is said to have
been named after this goddSM, on account of the purposes to which it was applied in bringing on precocious
puberty. Pliny, however, informs us, that in his time, there was an opinion that the plant was named after
Artemisia, the Queen of MauaoUM, King of (ana.
A. Abrotanum, Santonica, mantima, and Absinthium, are included in the Materia Mcdica, but, according to
Dr. Thomson, the latter species is the only one deserving to be retained. It is tonic, antispasmodic, and anthel-
mintic ; and when externally applied, is discuticnl and antiseptic. It has been used with advantage in inter-

these complaints, yet it is undoubtedly of some value as a stomachic. {London Dispen. p. 182.) The seed ot
wormwood is used by the rectifiers of Britisli spirits, and the species is a good deal cultivated on dry soil near
Mitcham, in Surrey, for that purpose. A. vulgaris is used in some parts of Sweden instead of hops, in order
to increase the inebriating quality of malt liquor. The plant is readily eaten by cattle and sheep, and is found
in our best natural pastures on dry soils. It is said to be stomachic and slightly stimulating.
The species called Abrotanuin, Garde-robe, Fr., derives its name from a., privative, and &$oro$, mortal ; on
account of the great virtues attributed to it as a preservative of life ; Absinthium, from a, privative, and

Dracunculus, Tarragon, Eng., Estragon, Fr., Dragon, Ger., and Dragoncclia, Ital, is said to have been

gnats and fleas. From this imaginary property, its Greek name (from Kuvar^, a gnat), its Latin name, pulicaria,
its English name, flea-bane, and its French name, lierbe aux puces, are all derived. Conyza marilandica gives
out a strong smell of camphor.
1735. Madia. Madi is the name of the plant in Chili. Clammy weeds, only seen in botanical gardens.
1736. Erigeron. A name synonymous with senecio, which is a translation of it. Named from 3g, the spring,
and yieuv, an old man ; because it becomes old in the beginning of the season. The name Senecio having been
applied to another genus, the Greek term is preserved for this, which is related to it. E. viscosum is used to
drive away fleas and gnats, probably from its strong scent, or, as some suppose, from the clammy juice of the
leaves and stalks ; hence the old name of Flea-bane, or Flea-wort.
1737. Tussilago. From tussit, a cough, for curing which the flowers are frequently employed at this day.
Farfarus is the name under which the Greeks designated the White Poplar, the leaves of which are like the
modern T. Farfara.
T. Farfara is a certain indication of a clayey soil, and, according to Dr. Withering, is the first plant which
vegetates in marie or lime stone rubble. The clayey part of the pestilential Mareinmes of Tuscany, where scarcely
Hi.\ other plant will grow, is covered with common colts foot. The cotton of the leaves wrapped in a rag,

dipped in a solution of saltpetre, and dried in the sun, makes an excellent tinder. The leaves are the has's of
the British herb tobacco ; they have been regarded as exjiectorant irom the earliest ages, having been smoked
through a reed in the days of Dioscorides, with the view of relieving the chest from accumulated mucus in
catarrh, asthma, and phthisis. At present, though it occupies a place in the Materia Medici, very little
reliance is placed on its powers. {London Disp. p. 542.)
T. Petasites, from the Greek tstoktw, a broad covering, in allusion to the leaves, which are larger than
those of any British plant, and afford shelter from rain to poultry and other small animals. It is called Butter
bur, in allusion to a former application, and Pestilent-wort, from its supposed efficacy in the plague. T. hybrids
is by some considered, a variety of this species, as T alba is of T. paradoxa. T. fragrans is valued in gardens
as an early and fragrant flower; like all the species, it is apt to run very much, and is therefore best kept in
pots.
It is remarkable that no plant belonging to the tribe of Tussilagineae, has been discovered with hermaphro-
dite flowers. They are distinguished from other tribes by their stigma, which occupies both surface! of the
lobes of the style. They are nearly all natives of Europe

The tribe of Senecionca; is nearly related to Anthemidca;, and a portion of Inulea?, from which the differ-
ences in the style are insufficient to distinguish them. They appear, however, to be sufficiently well cha-
racterized by ibeir other floral organs They are found in every part of the world, especially in the south of
Africa. Humboldt has observed, that thc> are very numerous in the upper region of the Andes, just below
the .imits ot eternal snow, where the sun has little influence, where hurricanes arc incessant, and not a tree is
able in rear its head.

often the upper surface of the leaves. C. discolor, populifolia, &c. are popular half-shrubby plants, we.l
calculated for bearing the confined air of a sitting room. Most of the hardy herbaceous species are fine
ornamental plants of easy culture. C. lanata and amelloides flower the greater part of the year; the former
species is considered the handsomest of the genus ; its petals exteriorly are of a most vivid purple, interiorly
they are white.
1342. Calotis. The name has been derived from xx\d;, beautiful, and v; an;, an ear, in allusion to the two
membranous ear-shaped paleas of the pappus. A pretty little New Holland herbaceous plant
1743. Kaulfussia. Named after Dr. George Frederick Kaulfuss, professor of botany at Halle, a distin-
guished living Cryptogamic botanist. A small plant with bright blue flowers.
1744. Inula. The derivation of this word is uncertain. The Latins applied it to a plant which was eaten as

The young branches of I. t'rithmifolia are frequently sold in the London markets for samphire, to which they
bear some resemblance in appearance, but none in virtues.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1745. Pulicaria. So named in allusion to its property of driving away fleas, pulices. See Conyza. P
dysenterica has its specific name from having cured certain Russian soldiers of the bloody flux. It is
called by our old authors middle flea-bane, and was supposed by its smoke in burning to chase away fleas
and other insects. Forskahl says, it is named in Arabic Rara ejub, or Job's tears, from a notion that Job
used a decoction of this herb to cure his ulcers. Of course it was formerly recommended to cure the
itch. P. vulgaris is also said to drive away fleas and gnats.
1746. Grindelia. A handsome genus of herbaceous plants, with neat foliage, and pretty yellow flowers
They are sometimes called Donia.
1747. Podolepis. From tk,-, a foot, and toxis, a scale. The stalks of the flowers are covered with
scales.
1748. Cha?tanthera. From %«<«£, hair, and av^cc, an anther, the anther being furnished with a hairy
1749. Arnica. This is said to be a corruption of ptarmica, derived from rrraieu, to sneeze. The Arnica
montana is a powerful sternutatory ; in the Vosges it is even called iabac on that account. The whole plant
has important medicinal properties ; it is fortifying, diuretic, emmenagogue, vulnerary, antiseptic, resolvative,
and sternutatory. The root powdered is employed in diarrhcea, dysentery, and quartan fevers; it is also
applied outwardly to bad ulcers, and in cases of gangrene. The flour is used in asthenia, rheumatic pains.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1756. Sellis. So called from bellus, pretty. Every one knows the daisy.
1757. Bellium. See Bellis, from which this genus differs chiefly in the pappus of the grain*
1758. Dahlia Named after Andrew Dahl, a Swedish botanist, and pupil of Linnsus. Continental botanists
call the genus Georgina. This genus grows in Mexico, in sandy meadows, and till the peace of 1814 was
more cultivated 111 France than in England : at present it is one of the most fashionable hardy plants. Though
its leaves are coarse, resembling those of the common dwarf elder, yet the flowers are showy, and continue in
beauty till late in autumn. The plants grow freely in any soil or situation ; but the poorer the ground is, the
smaller the sue of the plant, and the earlier and more abundant the flowers. The single-flowered varieties
of D superflua are almost without end; the double varieties of both species are much less numerous. Any
number of the former may be raised from seeds, which ripen in abundance, and if sown in February on
artificial heat, and transplanted m the end of April, they will flower in the July or August following The
double varieties are increased by dividing the roots, or by grafting, or by cuttings; they may also be some-
times ra.sed from seeds. A very general way in which both kinds are propagated is by cuttings Thev mav
be either taken from the root-shoots in spring, or the tops of the young shoots early in summer ; the lower end

double sorts are grafted on tubers of the single varieties much in the manner of whip-grafting, but without a
tongue There must be no buds on the tuber ; cut off a slice from the upper part of it, in a sloping direction,
and make at the bottom of the part so cut, a ledge, whereon to rest the graft ; next, cut the scion sloping to
fit, it should con.tain two joints, and be cut so that one of these may be at the bottom of it to rest on the Wge ;
from that joint the scion will occasionally put forth roots; from the other the future stem will be formed!
Havmg tied the graft, clay it as in common grafting ; then put the root in fine mould, burying half the graft,
and place the pot in a gentle moist heat under a glass. If this be done in March, the plant may he shifted
into a larger pot in April, and planted out in the end of May
As the Dahlia is a bulky plant it requires either to be grown in a very large pot, or in from three quarters
to a yard and a half of surface. They look well in rows, or occurring singly in a shrubbery
The treatment of the Dahlia bears a considerable resemblance to that of the potato and the marvel of Peru ;
as soon as the frost has blackened the tops of these three plants, their roots require to be taken up, and

kept in a dry place, where the frost cannot get at them till spring. About April they may be divided, and
planted in the open air where thev are to flower j or, what is more common planted in large pots, and for-
warded in heat till the middle of May, when they may be turned out of the pots where they are finally to
remain. In this case they will flower a month or six weeks earlier than by the other method, and will, in
general, continue flowering till they are destroyed by frost. Some care is requisite to preserve the roots suffi-
ciently moist and plump to maintain the living principle, and yet not to rot, shrivel, or Ireezc them. The
safest mode is to plant them in pots or boxes of dry earth, and place them in a shed or cellar, or under an
ample covering of litter thatched over.
17 SB. Bcebera. Bo?ber is said by Willdenow to have been a learned Russian botanist.
1760. Tagetes. Named after Tages, a Tuscan divinity, the son of Genius, and the grandson of Jupiter.
T. patula is a tender annual, deservedly popular, from the brilliancy and variegation of its flowers : it is culti-
vated in Japan, China, and many parts of India, but does not appear to be indigenous of those countries.
The varieties of T. erecta differ chiefly in the shades of the same color, but there are also double and quillert
flowers Both species are raised from seeds, upon a moderate hot-bed, in the beginning of April, and when
thev are three inches high, transplanted to where they are finally to remain. The varieties are very apt to
degenerate, and can only be reproduced by the most careful selection and separation.
This genus serves for the basis of M. Cassini's Tagetinese, which do not appear to be at all distinct from
Heliauthea?, from which they differ principally in the form of their ovarium. M. Cassini's principal motive for
distinguishing them as a separate race, seems to have been his wish to reduce hi* tribe of Heliauthea-, which
he finds too extensive. Nearly all the specie* are found in America.
1761. Heterospermum. From !«{«, various, and o-te.u.^, seed ; on account of the variable shape of the
grains. , . . .
17(.2. Schkuhria. Named in honour of Christian Schkuhr, an acute German botanist, who has pnMiinM
«ome of the most accurate and useful, if not splendid, botanical works which the world has seen. It is to be
regTetted that their raritv makes them more generally unknown than they deserve to be.
17'.; Pedis. From jxcti-n, a comb, to which the teeth of the pappus may be compared.
17o4. Longchampsia. So named after Doctor J. L. A. Loiseleur Deslongrhamps, a French botanist, author
of a useful Flora Gallica, in two small duodecimo volume*, published at Paris, the first in lbOfi, the second
in 1807.

a yellow color. Ch rysa nteme, Fr., Goldblame, Cer., and Crisantero, Ital. C. sinense is one of the hand,
somest of autumnal flowers, and of the easiest possible culture in anv soil. It is a popular flower in China,
whence all our numerous varieties have very recently been obtained, and chiefly through the exertions of the
Horticultural Society. These are certainly a very great addition to the beauties of the flower garden in a dry
autumn, and to the green-house or conservatory in the wet and foggy months of November and December,
when scarcely any thing else is in flower. The plants are propagated bv divisions, by suckers, and by cuttings •

u they are very apt, in every case, to throw up suckers, the latter mode is decidedly the best The cutting!
may be taken Irom the M«ie branches at anv m-.im.ii from April to September; taken off before the end of May,
they will flower the succeeding autumn ; those taken off afterwards will not flower till next year. Chrysan-
themums are m. very proline in suckers, that they soon become unsightly plants, and produce small' and
degenerate b frequently renewed from cuttings. The Chinese are said to do this everj w u ,
they take off the cuttings in May, strike them as we do, and then put each plant in a very small |H,t, in
which it flowers the succeeding autumn. The plants arc thus kept in a dwarf state, and clothed with green
foliage from the ground to the flower. In order that the blossoms may be strong, they leave onlj one ,r two
flower-buds on the summit of each plant, and they remove all suckers 'and side shoots till the blossom is over.
This mode is now generally adopted with us , but sometimes the plants are retained a second, or even a thirii
vear, in which case care is requisite to haw no more steins, and to have no more sinker- growing at one time
than the roots can support in a vigorous state. Asunder this management the stems attain a great height,
they require to be supported by a rod, and adjusted to as to form a symmetrical figure bv a nice application of
black threads, or small copper wires.
Sometimes the Chrysanthemum is grown in beds or borders, in w huh ease the plants should be taken up every
year, and their superfluous suckers removed ; or, which is better, they should be total!] renewed by cuttings

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
Though these plants will grow in any soil, yet when in small pots they require a rich loam, and are the better
for being watered, as in China, with liquid manure. The different varieties are well described by Mr. Sabine,
in the fourth and fifth volumes of the Horticultural Transactions.
1770. Pyrethrum. An ancient Greek name, applied to this plant from its supposed resemblance to the
tu;s*{o» of Dioscorides. That plant is believed to have been the Anthemis pyrethrum, or Pellitory of Spain,
of the modems, and to have received its name from the burning qualities of its root; true, fire. All the plant of
Pyrethrum Parthenium has a strong unpleasant smell, and a bitter taste. It is used externally, in the form
of lotion and of poultice, and internally as an infusion for colic, hysterical affections, and weak digestion.
There are some double-flowering varieties, which are very ornamental.
1771. Matricaria. So named on account of the use which is made of it in disorders of females. Matricmre,
Kr , Mutterkraut, Ger., and Matricaria, Ital. It excites menstruation. Chamomile is an alteration of th?

Greek *«/«" ur.Xn, a dwarf-apple, which Pliny informs us was applied to the plant, on account of its smelling
of apples, or rather quinces. It is remarkable, that the Spaniards call it mancinilla, which also means a little
apple. The chamomile of medicine is another plant. See Anthemis.
M. Chamomilla is supposed to possess the same qualities with the officinal chamomile (Anthemis nobilis),
but in an inferior degree. Most of the species, and chiefly this one, are rejected bv quadrupeds

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1776. Giangea. A genus of Adanson's. The meaning of the word is unknown.
1777. Anacyclus. An abridgement of Ananthocyclus, which was the name originally proposed by Vaillant,
and which does not appear to have been altered for the better. He formed it from a., privative, av-9-of, a flower,
and xvxU;, a circle ; on account of the rows of ovaries without flowers, which are placed in a circle round the
disk.
1778. Anthcmis. From uvSo;, a flower, on account of the multitude of flowers with which the plants are
covered. A. nobilis is in considerable repute, both in the popular and scientific Materia Medica. The flowers,
which are tiie parts used, have a strong and fragrant smell, and a bitter aromatic taste; both are extracted by
water and alcohol. The active principles appear to be bitter extractive, resin, and essential oil. Medicinally,
the flowers are considered tonic, carminative, and slightly anodvne : yet when a strong infusion of them is
taken in a tepid state, it proves jiowerfully emetic. Given in substance, united with opium and astringents, if
the bowels be easily ariecied, they have been successfully used for ihe cure of intermittent^ ; and the infusion,
in combination with ginger, or ether aromatic*, and the alkalies, is an excellent stomachic in dyspepsia, chlorosis,
gout, flatulent cholic, anrt chronic debility of the intestinal canal. The tepid strong infusion is a readv emetic,
and is often employed to promote the operation of other emetics. By ccction in water, the essential oil is

1781. Achillea. Named after Achilles, a disciple of Chiron, and the first physician who used it in healing
wounds. A. Ptarmica i? called sneeze-wort, because the dried powder of the* leaves snufled up the nostrils
provokes sneezing. In thp spring, the young tender shoots were formerly put into salads, to correct the cold-
ness of other herbs. There is a variety with double flowers, which is very ornamental, especially in pots. A.
moschata, the (icnipi of the Swiss, is an excellent sudorific, aromatic, and acrid, and is a grateful food to cattle.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1784. Starkea. Named by Willdenow, after the Rev. Mr. Starke, of Or'os Tchirna, in Silesia, who paid much
attention to the Cryptogamous plants of that country. This genus was included by Linnaeus in Amelius
from which Willdenow remarks that it differs in habit, and in its hairy receptacle.
1785. Columel/ia. So called by Jacquin, after the celebrated Geoponic writer, Lucius Junius Moderatus
Columella, a Spaniard, born forty-two years before Christ. A plant resembling Amelius annua. The flowers
are yellow and sessile in the dichotomies of the branches. The Columellia of Loureiro is a different thing
1786. Eclipta. A translation of the Malay name Wcmei-voangi-maihg, which signifies an eclipse of the sun,
to which the form and disposition of the radiated flower has been likened. Worthless weeds with white flowers.
1787. Meyera. Named after Gottlieb-Andrew Meyer, a German, who published, in 1694, a dissertation upon
tne Sycomorus of Scripture.
1788. Chrysanthellum. A diminutive of Chrysanthemum, which see.
1789. Siegesbccliia. Dr. John George Siegesbeck, a German physician, director of the garden at St. Peters-
burgh, published in 1736, a catalogue of it under the title of plora of St. Petersburgh. There was also a
Botanosophia from his pen in 1737.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1798. He/ianthus. From yiXio;, the sun, and otvS-oj, a flower. Nothing can be a more complete ideal repre-
sentative of the sun, than the gigantic sun-flower, with its golden rays ; it is dedicated with great propriety to
the sun, which it never ceases to adore while the earth is illuminated by his light. When he sinks into the
west, the flowers of Helianthus are turned towards him ; and when he rises in the east, the flowers are again
ready to be cherished by the first influence of his beams.
H. annuus is a well known border annual, which will grow in any soil. There are varieties with double
flowers, the tubular florets being changed into ligular ones, like those in the ray. The whole plant, and par-
ticularly the flower, exudes a thin pellucid odorous resin, resembling venice turpentine. From the seeds an
edible oil has been expressed, and they are also excellent food for domestic poultry. The flowers turning with
the sun, is by some considered a popular error ; Gerarde says he never could observe it ; and Professor Martin
has seen four flowers on the same stem pointing to the four cardinal points. H. tuberosus, Topinambo&r, Fr ,
Erdarfel, Ger., and Girasole, Ital., is called Jerusalem, from the corruption of the Italian word Girasole ;
and Artichoke, from the resemblance in flavor which the tubers have to the bottoms of artichokes. These
tubers are in considerable esteem on the continent as a substitute for potatoes ; and before the introduction
of that vegetable, they were a good deal in use in this country. Their culture and treatment is the same as
for that vegetable. H. multiflorus a showy autumnal flower.

This genus has given rise to a most important and extensive tribe of plants, the Helianthcay which '">
at once the most numerous of the various tribes of Composita?, and on account of its strict affinity with
several others, the most difficult to characterise with precision. Although it is perfectly natural, yet there
is scarcely a character belonging to it which is not subject to many exceptions, and to more or less im-
portant modifications. Almost all the species of Helianthca? are natives of America, several of Asia, a
few of Africa, and scarcely any of Europe. They appear to be entirely unknown in the southern parts of the
world.
Gymnulotnia. From yv^yts, naked, and >.u/jut, an edge ; in allusion to the nature of the margin of
the grains. . _ . ,
1800. Iludbcckia Named after the famous Olaus Rudbeck, professor of botany at Upsal, who died of gncl
in 1702, at witnessing the destruction by fire of his laborious work, called Campi F.lysii, which was neverthe-
less published in 1701 and 2, by the diligence of his son. He is also celebrated for having made the discovery
that the Paradise of Scripture was situated somewhere in Sweden. Handsome border annuals or perennials.
R. purpurea is remarkable for bearing purple flowers.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1825. Trots. From r^i;, three, on account of its triangular capsule with three cells.
1826. Polymnia. Polymnia was the name of one of the Muses. Why it has been applied to this plant is not
very obvious. A coarse broad-leaved weedy plant.
1827. Chrysogonum. From xpros, gold, and yow, a knee. The bright yellow flowers are usually produced
in the bends of the stems.
1828. Melampodium. One of the Greek names of black hellebore, with which the modern plant has no
relation. The plant of the ancients was probably named from the blackness of the roots, ( /j.<\«.;, black, and
trus, a foot).
1829. Chaptalia. Dedicated by Ventenat to the famous French chemis.tr M. Chaptal. A pretty little North
American herbaceous plant.
1830. Calendula. So named because it may be found in flower during the Calends of each month, or, which
is the same thing, during every month in the year. C. pluvialis has been named from its flowers closing at the
approach of rain.

C. officinalis, Souci dujardin, Fr., Goldb/umr, Oer.,and Furrancio, Ital., has been a garden plant time out of
mind, and used in soups and broths, both to color them, and as comforters of the heart and spirits. It had
formerly many virtues ascribed to it, but is now totally out of use in this country. According to Linna?us,
the flowers are open from nine in the morning till three in the afternoon. There are double, lemon-colored,
and prolific varieties. From the flowers of Calendula officinalis is obtained a distilled water, a kind of vinegar,
and a conserve.
With this genus for his type, M. Cassini has formed a small tribe which he calls Calcndulciv, remarkable for
a peculiar smell, very perceptible in the common pot-marygold, which is said to be confined to themselves
alone. Iiut this seems to be almost the only character by which they are distinguished from Helianthca:.
The greater part of Calendulcs are found in the country of the Cape of Good Hope , but some are found in
Europe and Asia.
USL Arctotis. Vaillant, who named this genus, called it Arctothcca, from <x;*t«, a bear, and 3-WHh a
capsule, because its fruit is shaggy like a bear. This and some neighbouring genera ha >-e given rise to \I

Cassini's tribe of A rctotidea?, which has the remarkable peculiarity of occasionally producing an ovarium
with three cells. In the peculiarities of their style they approach the tribes of Echinopsea?, Carduineas, ten-
taurea;, and Carlinea?. They are entirely confined to the regions of the Cape of Good Hope.
1832. Osteospermum. From oruv, a bone, and a-new, seed, in allusion to the hardness of the fruit
1833. Olhonna, Oioscorides mentions this name as being applied to various things, but especially to a plant
with a leaf like rocket, but perforated with little holes, whence it was called Othonna, from o.tovs,, linen. The
V«lant of the ancients can have had little affinity with that of the modems.

than which it is smaller, but which it resembles in its velvety silvery leaves.
1840. Parthenium. The Greek name of the Matricaria, which see. The indecent derivation of the word
Hystcrophorus, is sufficiently explained by Vaillant. (Mem. Acad. Sciences, anno 1720.)
1841. lua. This name, according to Fuchsius, is a mere abbreviation of abiga ; see Ajuga. It has been
applied by Linnaeus to these plants because their smell resembles that of the ancient Iva.
1842. Acicarpha. From a.x.i;, a point, and xx^ds, a palea, because that appendage is spiny.
1843 Elephantopus. It is said that some resemblance may be found between the radical leaves of this plant
and an elephant's foot (ikefa;, an elephant, and o-bj, a foot).

1850. Echinops. From ix>">s, a hedgehog, and c4"i > resemblance ; because of the bristly round heads of
flowers protected in every direction by stiff spines. The woolly leaves of Echinops strigosus are employed in
Spain as tinder. Upon this genus M. Cassini has founded his tribe of Echinopseae, which it must be confessed
is entirely distinct from any other, and extremely remarkable on account of its very singular aberrations from
the ordinary structure of ComDOsitae.
1851. Rolandra. After Daniel Rolander, a pupil of Linnaeus, who visited Surinam. Nothing appeared from
him except an account of Doliocarpus in the seventeenth volume of the Transactions of the Academy of
Sciences of Stockholm. ■

Class XX. — GYNANDRIA.
The singular plants which constitute this class are distinguished from all others by the anomalous structure
of their flowers. These do not, as is usually the case, contain a certain number of stamens surrounding a
central ovarium or style, but on the contrary are furnished with a solitary fleshy undivided process, round
which the sepals radiate, and which supplies the place of stamens and style. The nature of this process has
been variously explained : the modern opinion is that it is formed by the accretion of the stamens and style
into a single mass, and this opinion seems to be confirmed by analysis and analogy. Omitting, therefore, a
notice of such theories respecting its nature as are opposed to that which is now received as the most correct,
it will suffice to explain a little in detail, the opinion which is adopted in this work. The central process, called
the columna or column, is understood to be formed by the filaments of three stamens surrounding a style, and
by mutual accretion firmly united with it and with each other into a solid mass. Of these three stamens, it
most frequently happens that the two lateral are sterile, and not furnished with even the vestige of an anthera ;
and that their presence is not indicated by more than two irregular excrescences, as in Orchis, or by the same
number of small appendages, as in Satyrium, or by two horn-like or tooth-like processes, present in several of
the genera with waxy pollen-masses : it even happens, and not unfrequently, that no vestige whatever of them
remains. But in Cypripediura both are fertile and bear perfect anthers, while the central stamen is bar-
ren and foliaceous. When the lateral stamens are, as above stated, abortive, which is the most common
form of the columna, the central stamen bears at its upper extremity an anther, which is either moveable or
fixed firmly in its place. The pollen which this contains, assumes three very distinct appearances in different
tribes. It is either granular, dividing into many separable small pieces, as in Orchis ; or powdery, consisting of
an infinite number of granules, as in Spiranthes ; or waxy, when it consists of a few large concrete masses, as
in Epidendrum. The stigma is most frequently concave, and placed nearly under the anther, but in such a
manner, that there is no contact between it and the pollen. In what way, therefore, fecundation can take
piace among truly Gynandrous plants, is one of those mysterious contrivances of nature which has not yet
been explained It is generally believed to take place by absorption in some undiscovered manner, before the
flowers expand ; but it is extremely difficult to understand how this can occur in many genera. The foregoing
remarks apply only to the tribe of plants called Orchideous. The few genera attached to the latter part of the
class are Gynandrous by the cohesion indeed of their stamens and style, but in a much more obvious manner.
Gynandrous plants are among the most interesting of the vegetable productions of the globe, whether we
consider the vivacity of their colors, or the singularity of their organization, or the grotesque appearance of
their tortuous roots, or the delicious perfume of their flowers. They are distributed in abundance over all the
earth. In Europe and the temperate parts of the world, they are principally found in meadows and pastures
among grass ; but in tropical regions they often constitute the chief beauty of the forest, occupying the forked
branches of living trees, or the prostrate trunks of fallen timber, over which, in company with ferns and parasi-
tical Aroidea:, they climb and trail in every direction, until they adorn the one with bright hues and rich odours
foreign to their nature, and render the others more beautiful in death, than in the full vigour of their
existence.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
whence doubtless our word salep has been obtained. This is a curious and beautiful genus, but rather difficult
of culture. Few of the species produce seeds, but are propagated by their bulbs or tubers, which, in most of
the species, are of a peculiar structure and economy. An Orchis being taken out of the ground is found with
two solid masses, ovate or fasciculated at the base of the stem, above which proceed the thick fleshy fibres
which nourish the plant. One of these bulbs or tubers is destined to be the successor of the other and is
plump and vigorous, whilst the other or decaying one is always wrinkled and withered. From this withered
one has proceeded the existing stem, and the plump one is an offset, from the centre of which the stem of the
succeeding year is destined to proceed. By this means, the actual situation of the plant is changed about half
an inch every year ; and as the offset is always produced from the side opposite to the withered bulb, the plant
travels always in one direction at that rate, and will in a dozen years have marched six inches from the place
where it formerly stood.
In the garden, the Orchis can hardly be said to be propagated ; the species are generally taken up from their
native habitations with balls, and transferred to a shady border, where they remain for a vear or two, but sel-
dom increase. Those which grow in the open fields are generally found in calcareous soil, and those in bogs or
woods thrive best in peat, or peat and loam mixed. The culture of this genus, however, has been very little
attended to. According to Sweet, the best time to transplant the British Orchidea.-, is when they are in a
growing state.
The Orchis affords the preparation known as Salep, imported from Turkey, and other parts of the Levant ;
and which has also been made in this country from O. mascula, and other species. The root is washed,
the brown skin rubbed off, and then dried in an oven and ground into powder. This powder, as an article of
diet, is accounted extremely nutritious, containing a great quantity of farinaceous matter in a small bulk. O
mascula is very abundant m the meadows of Gloucestershire, and Salep has been made from its bulbs, enual
to that imported. (Encyc. of Agr. 5527 ^

Orchis fusca and militaris, according to Salisbury, succeed best in chalky soil, free from all manure
whatever ; but they will endure more moisture than would be supposed ; for he found them in a very wet part
of the meadow below the terrace, at Mill Hill, where they had, no doubt, been planted by Mr. Peter Collinson
trymnadenia conopsea affords another singular instance of this sort, which is found growing wild on the driest
milestone, mixed with Anacamptis pyramidalis, and in bogs where one can hardly tread, mixed with Epipactis

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
Sweet directs, to " rub the pollen on the stigma." The seeds must be sown as soon as ripe, and the plants
transplanted to where they are finally to remain, when of a small size. Several species of this genus, and of
Orchis, were successfully cultivated by Collinson, in his botanic garden at Mill-Hill. His method was to place
them in a soil and situation as natural to them as possible, and to surfer the grass and herbage to grow round
them. O. aranifera, with a little attention and management, will grow and flower freely in pots. Curtis found
the following method successful : "take up the roots carefully when in flower; bare them no more than is
necessary to remove the roots of the other plants ; fill a large sized garden-pot with three parts choice loam
moderately stiff, and one part chalk, mixed well together, and passed through a sieve somewhat finer than a
common cinder sieve ; in this mixture place your roots at about the depth of two inches, and three inches apart ;
water them occasionally during summer, if the weather prove dry ; at the approach of winter place the pot in
a frame under a glass, to keep it from wet and frost, which combined, destroy the beauty of the foliage, if not
the plant itself; in the autumn, before any of the others maV.e their appearance, this species emerges."
[Curtis, Fl. Lond. n. 68.)
Salisbury says, that Ophrys muscifera, and most of its congeners, are very easily cultivated ; but require the
purest loam from a chalky bottom, and the border to be most elfectually drained; for any permanent wet in
summer makes them push too soon. On the hillocks and declivities where they grow wild, the slight showers
are absorbed by the surrounding turf or long grass, and the heavy rains we usually have after midsummer-
day run off quickly.
1867. Chamorchis. From xalMtl> dwarf, and Orchis. A pretty little alpine plant, exceedingly difficult to
cultivate. Roota have been brought in damp moss from Switzerland, but they probably have perished ere
now.
1868. Herminium. A name which is not explained by its author. It is the Ophrys Monorchis of old
botanists.
1869. Serapias is the name of an Egyptian divinity, whose temples were notorious scenes of profligacy. In
this sense, with reference to the uses of the plant, as also in Satyrium, the word seems to have been applied by
Pliny. Rare herbaceous plants of the south of Europe, but cultivated in a frame.
1870. Goodyera. So called after Mr. John Goodyer, an obscure British botanist The species grow freely
in sandy peat, and, unlike most of the Orchidea;, may be increased by dividing the roots.

1*71 Diuns 1'ioir. in, double, and *»<*, a tail, in allusion to the form of the sepals. Beautiful New
Holland plants, which may be cultivated in the same way as Disa.
1872. Ponthieva. Named after De Ponthieu, who sent many specimens of West Indian plants to Sir J. Banks.
The species may be cultivated in pots, well drained, and filled with sandy loam and peat. Water must be
sparingly given when the plants are not in a growing state.
Keottia. This word in Greek signifies bird's nest, and has been applied to the present plant on account
of the interwoven fibres of its roots. No means of cultivating the only species has been yet discovered. It
grows naturally in woods among decayed leaves, and is supposed to be parasitical.
1874. Sptranthes. From r-ru-^a., a screw, or any thing spirally twisted ; on account of the disposition of the
flowers on their spike. Delicate little herbaceous plants with fibrous roots, and generally white flowers. S.
aestivalis has the germs on the flower-stalks placed regularly one above another, somewhat resembling tresses
of plaited hair ; whence its name of Ladies' traces or tresses. This species grows more readily in the garden
than most of its tribe.
According to Salisbury, no plant whatever is more easy to cultivate than this. At Chapel- Allerton it pro-
pagated itself every where, springing up from seeds in the neighbouring pots, whatever soil or plants happened
to be in them ; and they were once found germinating on a dead root of a Persian Cyclamen, in a pot, which,
for want of draining, was full of Jungermannias.
1875. Stenorhynchus. A splendid genus of evergreen stove herbaceous plants, with brilliant red or yellow
flowers. They have been named from s-i»»f, narrow, and fu*x<Xt a beak, on account of the long pointed
stigma. N. orchioides is one of the most beautiful plants of this genus, introduced by E. J. A. Woodford,
Esq. in 1806, from the Island of Barbadoes, where it grows wild in the most arid places among grass. It
requires, nevertheless, moderate waterings here while the leaves are green.
1876. LUtera. Dr. Martin Lister was a celebrated English physician and naturalist, who died in 1711
The species require a shady situation and a light sandy soil, with some peat intermixed. Thev will grow on a
bank under the drip of trees, or in small pots. They are increased by dividing the roots.
1877. Arcthuta. A poetical name. Arethusa was a nymph of Diana, »ho was transformed into a fountain
The species of this genus are all found in moist places. They are verv impatient of cultivation The best way
to manage them, is to plant them in loose «et |>eaty soil, and to keep them in a frame "ell exposed to the sun

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1878. Calopogon. From xxkos, beautiful, and Tuym, a beard, in allusion to the beautiful fringe of the lip
An elegant plant, which was introduced accidentally, as Mr. Curtis informs us, by the laudable exertions of his
gardener, who, in the spring of 1783, examining attentively the bog earth which had been brought over with
some Diona?as, found several tooth-like knobby roots, which, upon being planted in heat, afforded this plant :
on the shelf of a stove, or on a bark pit it thrives exceedingly ; and seems merely to require a longer and hotter
summei than our climate affords.
1879. Pogonia. A name with the same derivation as the last genus. The species also require the same
treatment.
1880. Epipactis. A name given by the Greeks to a sort of Hellebore, and used by Swartz to distinguish a
tribe of plants previously called Helleborine. Pretty herbaceous hardy plants. " Some of its species thrive in
the borders in the common garden soil, and most of them will do well in pots, in a mixture of loam and peat ;
they require but little water when in a dormant state, and are increased by dividing the roots." {Bot. Cult. 365.J
1881. Caleana. Named after Mr. George Caley, a most indefatigable and acute botanical collector, who
resided several years among the natives of New South Wales, where he made a valuable collection of plants.
The name has been subsequently changed by Mr. Brown to Caleya : which as being too similar to Calea, a very
different plant, we cannot prefer to the original designation. The species require the common treatment of
the tribe, and are increased by division of the roots.
1882. Corallorrhiza. From xo°«.\kior, coral, and pita, a root, on account of its blanched roots, which much
resemble coral. A plant supposed to be incapable of cultivation. It is a native of boggy places in the northern
parts of the world. The three American species C. verna, multiflora, and odontorhlza, are said to have been
introduced in 1824, but we have not heard of their having been cultivated with any success.

and Miscellaneous Particulars.
1883. Rodrigunia. Named by the authors of the Flora Peruviana, after Emanuel Rodriguez, a Spanish
physician, and, as it is said, of considerable botanical merit. A beautiful herbaceous plant, growing upon
decayed wood. Its flowers are placed in cernuous racemes of a lively pink color.
1884. Gomtna. So called by Mr. Brown, in honor of Senor Gomes, a Spanish apothecary. Mr. Lindley
thinks it not distinct from the last A bulbous epiphyte, with drooping spikes of yellow flowers.
1885. fymbidium. From xvpgri, a little boat, in allusion to the form of the labcltum. All the genuine
species of Cymbidium are terrestrial, and rarely are found growing upon trees. In cultivation the species grow
in loam, chips of wood, potsherds, and other rubbish, broken small, and put in well-drained pots. They are
increased by dividing at the root.
1886. Brassta. Named after Mr. Brass, an intelligent gardener, who collected seeds and plants in Africa for
the Kew Garden. The two species now known are among the most beautiful of the various tribes of Epiden-
drums. Rrassia maculata has large pale yellow flowers, elegantly spotted with brown ; B. caudata has similar
flowers, with long tails to their lower segments.
1887. Lissochilus. From Aj«-«f, smooth, and j;wA«f, a lip, in reference to the absence of callosity or crests
from that part. An exceedingly rare and very noble plant, which grows freely in sandy loam with a little
peat The flowers grow in long spikes of a bright yellow color.
1888. Geodorum. From yr,(, the earth, and 2«;m, a gift, in reference to the beauty of the blossoms lying on
the earth. Handsome plants, succeeding with the treatment of Cymbidium.
1889. Catasetum. Apparently a word of hybrid extraction, from *»t«, and seta, a bristle, in allusion to the
two long bristles or horns of the columna, which constitute one of the most remarkable characters of the genus,

Hiitory, Use, Propagation, Culture,
Very fine epiphytes, with large bulbous roots, plaited leaves, and fine, often spotted, flowers of a greenish
purple color. The bulbs contain a quantity of viscid juice, which is used, when fresh, in Brazil, for the pur-
pose of sealing letters. The plants are there called Cebolleta.
1890. Trixeuxis. So called by Mr. Lindley without explanation. We suppose the name has been formed
from 7ye<?, three, and ?ev|*s, union, in allusion to the remarkable union of three segments into one, which
takes place in this genus, A very singular epiphyte, which is with difficulty kept alive in the stove by bein-
placed in finely pulverised decayed wood.
1891. Xylobium. From |uXev, wood, in allusion to the substance upon which it grows. A curious Brazilian
bulbous epiphyte with plaited leaves. This is of easy cultivation.
1892. Maxillaria. So called by the authors of the Flora Peruviana, as they inform us, because the
labellum when looked at sideways, resembles the Maxilla: of some insects. All fine South American plants,
with plaited leaves and showy flowers. They are cultivated like other epiphytes, and not with much
difficulty.
1893. Notylia. So called, we presume, from wtos, the back, and tuXos, a hump, in reference to a singular
callosity at the back of the stigma, which Mr. Lindley, the author of the genus, considers very curious. An
unostentatious epiphyte without bulbs, and with solitary leaves, out of the bosom of which grows a pendulous
raceme.
1894. Pleurothallis. From tAeuji*, a rib, and $-a,)\iu, to flower, in allusion to the one-sided disposition ot
the flowers. Singular little epiphytes with solitary leaves, no bulbs, and flowers of a green color. They grow
rarely in decomposed wood.

UBS Oncidium. From oyx%. \ tumour, on account of the callosities with which the disk of the labellura is
covered. Among the most beautiful of epiphytous plants, conspicuous by their long loose panicles of olive-
colored or yellow flowers. Oncidium altissimum grows to the height of three or four feet O. Papilio, the
curious Butterfly-plant of Trinidad, has large yellow and red blossoms poised on slender footstalks, and dancing
about in the air like some gaudy insects. All the species arc cultivated without any difficulty in almost any
soil, with plenty of heat and moisture.
1896. Cyrtopodium. From r.i/{T«, convex, and thi, a foot, in allusion to the labellum of the original species
These are handsome bulbous plants, growing either upon the ground or upon trees. They are rather difficult
to manage well, and are seldom seen in collections. Their flowers, which are handsome, are rarely produced.
1897. C&logyne. So named by Mr. Lindley, from xu>.ot, hollow, and yvr„ a female, on account of the
form of the stigma, which is peculiar for an Kpidendrum. Some of the species, natives of Nepal, which have
not yet been introduced into our gardens, are most beautiful bulbous epiphytes, with shining lleshy leaves, and
spikes of gorgeous flowers proceeding from a rigid imbricated scaly base.
1898. ilacradcnia. From /£**<«, long, and *&r,r, a gland, on account of the long subulate process to which
the pollen-masses are attached. A singular little epiphyte with yellowish brown flowers.
1899. Anisopetalum. From a, without, irot, equal, and tst«>.o», a petal, on account of the Inequality of the
sepals, or petals as they commonly called. A curious Nepal plant, with bulbous roots, and little erect spikes ol
brownish flowers.
1900. Dendrohium. From i(tt(i», a tree, with reference to the habit of the species in growing upon trees.
In the woods of the East Indies they climb and twist themselves about the branches of live trees, or throw

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
down their long shoots almost in the same manner as the Miseltoe in England. The flowers are generally very
beautiful, and frequently highly fragrant : they vary from a deep yellow to nearly white. AU the species in
the gardens are cultivated without the least difficulty by being planted in any light vegetable earth. Sometimes
they are put in baskets among damp moss, but they do not succeed so well under that treatment as when
planted in earth.
1901. Camaridium. Named by Mr. Lindley, from 2«i«;i, an arched roof. The stigma of this genus has
the upper lip vaulted in a remarkable degree. An inelegant leafy caulescent bulbous epiphyte, with solitary
white flowers.
1902. Ornithidium. From o^iS-is, a bird, in allusion to the resemblance which exists between the cuspidate
upper lip of the stigma, and a bird's lieak. The habit of this plant is like that of the last, but the flowers
are red. They are both cultivated without difficulty in a stove, by being planted among rotten wood,
or tan.
Mr. Salisbury says, Ornithidium coccineum is a parasite on old trees, near torrents, in the island of Martinico ;
its fibrous roots insinuating themselves into the crevices of their moist bark. Here it thrives exceedingly, in
pots filled with the same, flowering at various seasons, but chiefly in October and November. During summer
it should be placed in a shady part of the stove, and often sprinkled with water, but it requires little or none
in winter, especially when plunged.
1903. Isochilus. From iros, equal, and ^eiAo;, a lip, because the lip and the other divisions of the flower are
of nearly equal breadth. The species grow in baskets of moss and old tan, or planted in pots of sandy soil,
and chips of wood, and other dry rubbish. They are increased by divisions at the root.
1904. Pholidota. A singular bulbous epiphyte, native of Nepal, remarkable for the close manner in which
the flowers are covered over by the imbricated scale-like bracteae, from which circumstance faoAif, a scale}, we

presume, Mr. Lindley has constructed the name. No explanation, however, of his names is ever given by this
author, who seems to attach too little importance to the etymology of botany.
1905. Brouphtonia. Named by Brown, in the Hortus Kewensis, without explanation. A handsome plant
with tine scarlet flowers. It is very rare, and cultivated with little success.
1906. Cattlcya. Named by Mr. Lindley, after William Cattley, Esq. a munificent encourager of botanv, and
his early friend. A superb genus of bulbous epiphytes, with fleshy leaves growing in pairs, and large violet or
yellow flowers.
1907. Epidendrum. From in, ujion, and i'.ti^ct. All the species are found naturally growing upon
trees, not however, as De Theis tells us, sucking their sap, by insinuating their litfe roots beneath the
bark, but vegetating in the soil which collects upon the forks of the branches. Many of the species bare
singular flowers but none of those in the gardens are remarkable for their beauty. They are generally
cultivated with less difficulty than most other epiphytes. Salisbury tells us, Epidendrum ciliare should be planted
in pots, filled with porous stones, a few decayed leaves, and knobs of bark taken fresh from the woods : but
it requires very little water j and if the leaves turn yellow, it is a sign that they have either too much wet, m
too much sun. With such treatment, by keeping four or five pots of it, the stove will be enlivened w;th their
long tubular flowers, slowly succeeding one another, at most periods of the year. It is easily propagated by
dividing its stems
1908. Polystachya. From xc>.u(, many, and j-**i*. a spike, on account of the compound nature of the
inflorescence. Inconspicuous plants, requiring the treatment applied to similar kinds.
1909. Cryptarrhena. A pretty little stemless epiphyte with distichous leaves, and neat yellow flower* It
was named bv Mr. Brown, from x»i*rr«, concealed, and iu^nt, a male, on account of the hooded apex of the
column which covers up the anther. The plant is believed to be now lost to the gardens.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1910. Ornithocephalus. A very curious little plant, only an inch or two in height, found in Trinidad growing
upon rotten sticks in the woods. It bears two or three green flowers, which contain a column, the upper
extremity of which is lengthened out into a fine subulate process, resembling a snipe's bill in miniature,
whence the name, from «{wJ/{, a bird, and xvpecXn, a head. No successful method of cultivating this plant
has yet been discovered
1911. Bletia. Dedicated to Luis Blet. a Spanish apothecary, who has always, as we are informed by the
authors of the Flora Peruviana, distinguished himself in his botanical studies. Very noble plants, growing in
the earth.
Bletia Tankervillia? is a common but beautiful species. The first plant which flowered in this country,
was cultivated at Apperly Bridge, near Bradford, in Yorkshire, in May 1776, and had been sent there
to Mrs. Hird, by her uncle. Dr. Kothergill, in a black Chinese pot full of stiff loam, in which it had been im-
ported. Many small bulbs, with leaves like those of a snow drop, grew near the edge of the same pot in a re-
gular circle, and these afterwards proved to be Amaryllis Aurea. The Bletia Tankervillia: delights in warmth,
fresh loam, and plenty of water, by which treatment, and attention to fecundate the stigma, it will ripen fruit
abundantly.
1912. Eria. From ifin, wool, on account of the woolliness of the flower of all the known species. Curious
epiphytous plants, with bulbous roots, and flowers usually of a yellowish color. They differ from Dendrobiura
chiefly in the number of their pollen-masses, and in habit. E. stellata is a fine free-growing plant, with long
broad fleshy leaves, and spikes of beautiful brown-yellow flowers nearly a foot and half in length.
1913. Octomeria. So called by Mr. Brown, with reference to the eight parts, exro, and fx&'os, into which
the pollen is divided. A singular little plant, with filiform leaves and small nearly solitary flowers. The
true limits between this genus and the last remain to be determined. The two seem to be separated by
nature.
1914. Brasavola. Named after Antonio Musa Brasavola, an Italian botanist, born at Ferrara in 1500.
Plants with long subulate fleshy leaves, and large white flowers. They are cultivated without difficulty in
peat and sand, if good decomposed wood is not to be procured.
1915. Sarcanthus. A curious genus of plants not remarkable for their beauty. Their habit is various, but
always caulescent ; their flowers either yellow or yellowish, marked with various shades of purple. The name

has been given by Mr. Lindley, from »■«{«, flesh, and uv.'tci, a flower, in allusion to the texture of the sepals
and labellum.
1916. Vanda. The Hindoo name of the original species. Noble caulescent plants adhering to old decayed
arms of trees or fallen wood, by means of their tendril-like fleshy tortuous roots. The flowers of all the
species are large and shewy. Their treatment is the same as the next
1917. Aerides. Derived from air, the air ; in allusion to the peculiar property the species possess of existing
many months suspended in that element This genus and the two last are those to which the name of Air-plant
is most properly applied, very few others being capable of enduring for any considerable period such a removal
from their natural places of growth. The true species of this genus are beyond all comparison the most
delightful productions of the vegetable world. Their flowers are arrayed in long spikes or racemes of delicate
colors and delicious fragrance. Hung up in a room in their native country, a little before flowering, they con-
tinue to unfold their blossoms in gradual succession for many weeks. In this country they are rarely seen in
flower. The only genuine species, the A. odoratum, should be planted in rotten wood with a little pea'i or a
few decayed leaves, or any light black vegetable mould, and kept in the hottest and dampest place of the stove.
If put in baskets among moss and kept very damp, the plants will succeed for a short time, but they soon
languish, and put on a yellow appearance, the certain indication of unhealthiness.
1918. Renanthera. A name contrived by Loureiro, to express the kidney-form or reniform shape of the
pollen-masses. This plant is not uncommon in good collections, where it has sometimes acquired the height of
six or eight feet ; but it has never yet produced its flowers. These appear, in the native country of the plant,
in large loose panicles, and are individually of considerable size and of a rich crimson color, a little mottled
with yellow.
1919. Ionopsis. So called by Mr. Kunth, from /o», a violet, and >4"t< resemblance. I. utricularioides is a
pretty little epiphyte, with purplish falcate leaves. It succeeds ill under any management which has hitherto
been applied to it.
1920. EuJophia. From iu>.tfn, well crested, with reference to the surface of the middle lobe of the lip The
two species in the gardens are terrestrial tender stove plants, with bulbous roots, plaited leaves, and flowers, in
E. exaltata, green and inconspicuous, in El guineensis, whitish pink, and very handsome. They should be
treated like Cymbidium.

fleshy spotted leaves, and varies with flowers of a delicate pink and of a pale green color. A. luridum is an
exceedingly rare species, with plaited leaves and conical bulbs covered with the vestiges of former leaves. A.
falcatum is a little Japanese plant, whose flower has a spur nearly as long as the plant itself. It is easily grown
among loose moss in a warm damp place, but there should always be some bits of rotten wood mixed among
the moss for the tender roots to adhere to.
1922. Aeranthes. A word with the same meaning as Aerides. Fine Madagascar plants. A. sesquipedalis,
which has not yet blossomed, bears in its own country very large white flowers, with a spur a foot and half in
length. The species are not caulescent as in Aerides, and the flowers appear singly, or two or three together,
not in long racemes.
1923. Calanthe. From xaXos, beautiful, and «vS-«, a flower. The genus consists of robust terrestrial, not
epiphytous, plants, with long plaited leaves, and fine white flowers, remarkable for the curious conformation
of the labellum. They are easily cultivated as Cymbidium.
1924. Stelis. This was the Greek name of some parasitical plant found growing upon trees. The modern
genus consists of little inconspicuous West Indian plants, with solitary leaves, and minute green flowers~dis-
posed in long filiform axillary spikes. They are not very easily managed ; the best mode of cultivation is to
plant them in very rotten wood with a little moss about them, and to keep them in a hot damp stove.
1925. Malaxis. From /jucXa.^;, softness, in allusion to the delicate texture of the genuine species. They are
natives of moist places in marshes, and are scarcely capable of successful cultivation.
1926. Prescotia. So called by Lindley in compliment to his friend John Prescot, Esq., an English gentleman
resident at St. Petersburgh, and highly distinguished for his botanical acquirements. A curious little plant,
with long spikes of green flowers. It is easily cultivated in peat and sand.
1927. Microstylis. From /lux%i>;, little, and irrvXas, a column, on account of the minuteness of the columna.
Little bog plants, resembling Malaxis in habit and manner of growth.
1928. Liparis- Probably derived from Xitra^ot, unctuous, in allusion to the surface of the leaves of the
original species, L Loeselii. This genus consists of plants varying somewhat in habit, but agreeing in having
pale green or greenish purple flowers, in terminal spikes or racemes. Part of the species are terrestrial,
requiring the treatment of Malaxis ; the remainder are epiphytes.
1929. Calypso. A poetical name, from x«,\vxtoi, to conceal ; not merely alluding to the covering of the
stigma, but preserving an analogy between this botanical beauty, so difficult of access, and the secluded goddess,
whose isle was fabled to be protected miraculously from the observation of navigators.
1930. Vanilla. An alteration of vaynilla, which is a diminutive of vaina, a Spanish word, signifying a
sheath. The fruit is a long cylindrical pod, very like the sheath of a knife. Vanilla aromatica produces the
fruit of that name, which is used in England to flavor chocolate, and in Spanish America for that purpose, for
perfuming snuffs, and as a medicine. The Spaniards have three different sorts, which they distinguish in com.

mcrre, viz ; the pompona, the let/, and the simarona. When the fruit begins to turn yellow, it is gathered and
fermented in small heaps, in the same manner as is practised with the cocoa or chocolate pods (Theobroma) ;
it is then spread in the sun to dry, and when about half dried, pressed flat with the hand and rubbed over with
the oil of Palma Christi, or of the cocoa ; it is then exposed to the sun to dry, the oiling repeated, and the
pods covered with the leaves of the Indian reed to preserve them. The fruits which are brought to Europe
are of a dark brown color, about six inches long, and scarce an inch broad ; they are wrinkled on the outside,
and full of a vast number of black seeds, like grains of sand, of a pleasant smell, resembling Balsam of Peru.
The species of this genus, like many other Epidendreae, are falsely called parasitical ; but are no more so than
our Polypodium vulgare, which is often found growing on the trunks of old trees, especially pollards, rooted
in the decaying bark. The Vanilla? shoot out roots at every joint like the Ivy, and may be either grown on a
piece of a rotten trunk of a tree, or planted in a pot of rotten tan mixed with rubbish, and the stem trained
against any surface which it can root into. Like all the tribe, these plants require very little water.
Mr. Salisbury has the following observations upon Vanilla plani folia. " It »as discovered by Father Plumier,
in the island of St. Domingo, where it grows wild, climbing to the tops of the highest trees; and is easily
preserved in our stoves, throwing out one or more roots at every leaf; but as it seldom flowers here, I would
recommend the following treatment : — plant it at one end of a low bark stove, the temperature of which must
be kept constantly hot and damp, never below sixty degrees of Fahrenheit in the night, during winter. Let
the earth be fat loam, taken about an inch deep from the surface, in some old wood ; mix this with a few
decayed leaves and small pieces of rotten sticks, either in a tub bored full of holes, and sunk at the back corner
of the bark pit ; or pale off a space of two square feet for it, draining the bottom a foot in depth very effec-
tually with hollow tdes and porous stones. Select a healthy young plant to place in this earth, and as soon as
it pushes vigorously, divide the stem, by pinching off its top, into three or four principal branches, which train
backwards and forwards over that end of the bark pit, at two inches and a half distance from each other, on
stout rods of a rough-barked elm nailed firmly across ; the roots which issue from the bottom of the stem
or branches must be suffered to penetrate into the earth, where they will swell and nourish the plants ; but if
those beyond attempt to strike downwards, wind them gently along the elm rods, to which they will soon cling
by small til>re<, like those of Ivy. When the principal branches have extended to fifteen or twenty feet in
length, divide them again by pinching their tops, as you find it necessary, into about a dozen branches in all,
which must l>e left to flower, guiding thorn first horizontally, and afterwards in every possible direction, upon
smaller rods of rough-barked elm, stuck into the bark pit at various angles. From the twentieth of March to
the twentieth of September, shade that end of the stove by the light foliage of a Passiflora, trained all over
the top, but pruned so thin as to admit the rays of the sun to play on the bed underneath: I prefer this
method to a mat, for many reasons. Let the earth be always damp by gentle sprinklings of water, but never
very wet, except in the great heats of summer, when I should be inclined to give the plant two or three
drenching showers all over from a fine-nosed watering-pot, shutting up the house at night full of steam."

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1931. Cypripedium. From Kt«r^s, Venus, and ■xoiim, a slipper, in allusion to the elegant slipper-like form »l
the labellum. Handsome plants " which will only thrive in a shady border in peat soil. The American species
should be covered with some dry straw in very severe frosts, or if there should be too much wet ; they are not
easily increased, but will sometimes perfect seeds in favorable situations, particularly if pains be taken to apply
the pollen to the stigma." {Bot. Cult. 358.)
1932. Stylidium. From rrvXos, a column, in reference to the manner in which the stamen and style are
united into one columnar mass. Beautiful little New Holland plants with pink flowers, remarkable for the
singular elasticity of their column, which, being touched with a pin, starts with violence from the side to which
it was turned when stimulated. The species grow in sandy loam and peat, and are increased by seeds, or
dividing at the root ; some of them by cuttings.
1933. Gunnera. So called after Ernest Gunner, bishop of Norway, who published a Flora of his country
from 1766 to 1772. An uninteresting plant with orbicular leaves. May be planted in a pot of loam and peat,
and plunged in water ; it is increased by dividing at the root
1934. Aristolochia. From a^irot, excellent, and Xo^of, a female in child-birth ; the plant was considered
formerly to possess considerable powers in aiding the expulsion of the placenta, and in exciting the lochia!

discharge. The root of A scr|K-ntaria is said to he the substance which the Egyptian snake-Jugglers chew, for
the purpose of itupifyins the snakes by the introduction of their saliva into the reptiles' mouths. A. clematitis
(from x>.y.ua, a young shout of the vine, in allusion to its appearance' is a species which furnishes one of the

it for various purposes, as for paleness of the countenance, fistula, sarcoma, &c A. pistolochia is also employed
Hir the same polioses. It grows U|>ori the dry stony places of Languedoc and Provence. It is used in cases of
obstructed perspiration, and in disorders of the lungs. The roots should be chosen of a plump texture, and a
yollowish color. They should be newly dried, and possess an aromatic flavor and a bitter taste.
Aristolochia trilobata and odoratissima have strong smelling roots, which are looked upon in Jamaica II
powerful medicines, and used as stomachics by the slaves. The first species is called Contrayerva of the north
side, from its growing in that part of the island ; and the other Contrayerva of the south side, for a correspond-
ing reason. The root of A serpentaria retains a place in the Materia Medica. The dried root is imported
into this country from North America; it has an aromatic odor, not unlike that of Valerian ; and a tharp,
warm, bitter, pungent taste, resembling in some degree that of camphor. Medicinally, it is stimulating
diaphoretic, and tonic.
768 MONOECIA. Class XXI.
Class XXI. — MONCECI A.
Male and female organs in distinct flowers, but upon the same plant.
Tins class consists of a variety of plants of all kinds, natures, and affinities, combined by the character of
having their flowers unisexual, but upon the same plant, in which respect Monoecia is distinguished from the
next class, Dicecia. It contains nearly all the most important timber-trees of the temperate countries of the
world, such as the oak, the pine, the birch, the beech, the walnut, the plane, the cypress, and many others.
The bread-fruit, so important an article of food in some parts of the world, is placed in Monandria. Various
palms occupy a station in other parts of the class. The dangerous Manchineel-tree, and many poisonous or medi-
cinal plants, are also placed here. To Monoecia Polyandria belongs the famous Upas-tree of Java, to which so
many fables are attached. It is described in Rumphius's Herbarium Amboinense (2. 87.), under the name of
Ipo, and is now ascertained to be a species of Antiaris. From Siphonia elastica, a plant of Monoecia
Monadelphia, and native of Brazil, one of the kinds of Caoutchouc or gum elastic of commerce is obtained.
Sprengel, and others, refer most of the genera of Monoecia to other classes, considering those only to be truly
referable to it, of which the male and female flowers have some differences of structure.

are now ;■ number of plants in the nurseries about London. The bread-fruit, according to Sweet, is generally
supposed to be difficult of cultivation in this country. He considers that the plants have been, in general,
treated too tenderly, and not allowed sufficient air. " They appear," he says, " to be of the same nature as
the Fig, to which they are nearly allied. Large cuttings root freely in a pot of sand, plunged under a hand-
glass, in a moist heat, with all their leaves entire : if the leaves are shortened, it is a great chance if tlrey
succeed." (Bot. Cult. 19.)
There are several varieties of the bread-fruit, as of all plants that have been long in cultivation. The
principal of these varieties are without seeds ; the natives of Otaheite reckon at least eight, differing in the
form of the leaf and fruit. A. integrifnlia is also by many considered a variety of the other; for the leaves are
sometimes lobed, and the situation of the fruit varies with the age of the tree, being first borne on the
branches, then on the trunk, and finally on the roots.
The bread-fruit is ripe in December, and is used boiled, or fried in Palm oil. Besides the use of the fruit,
the economical purposes to which the other parts of the tree are applied are various. The wood is used in
building boats and houses ; a cloth is made of the inner bark ; the male catkins serve for tinder ; the leaves
for wrapping up food, and for wiping the hands instead nf towels; and the juice for making bird-lime, and a
cement for filling up the cracks of vessels for holding water. According to Forster, three trees are supposed
to yield sufficient nourishment for one person.
The bread-fruit tree is distributed very extensively over the East Indian continent and islands, as well as the
innumerable islands of the South Seas. In 1793 it was introduced to the West Indies, and subsequently to
different parts of South America. Much has been said in praise of it by Europeans, and certainly, to the
inhabitants of the South Sea Islands, it may be a valuable food, as the acorn was to the inhabitants oi'Britain,
when they were in a certain state of civilization. But whether a civilized and refined people would esteem
this fruit for their own use as highly as they do for the use of the semi-barbarians of the South Seas, is a
point which may reasonably be doubted.
1936. Casuarina. The name under which the tree is described by Rumphius, who probably called it so from
the resemblance its foliage bears to the plumage of the casoar or cassowary of the same country. By the Malays
it is called filao. and by the South Sea Islanders club-wood, on account of the use of it for warlike weapons.
Casuarina equisetifoiia is a large spreading and lofty tree, with leaves, or rather branchlets, hanging down in
bunches from twelve to eighteen inches in length, like a long head of hair, or a horse's tail, all jointed from
top to bottom. The appearance of the whole tree is very remarkable. It was introduced by the first Lord
Byron.

ana Miscellaneous Particulars.
1937. Ct'ralocarpus. Named from zifat, a horn, and xa^tos, fruit, because the seeds have two horns.
Useless weeds.
1938. Zannichcllia. So called in honor of John Jerome Zannichella, a Venetian apothecary, who died in
1729. He left behind him a few works of little consequence. A plant found abundantly in the marshes of
some parts of England.
1939. Lemna. Said to have been so called from XiT<?, a scale, in allusion to the form of the plants. Theo-
phrastus describes under the same name an aquatic plant. Annual weeds, which float on stagnant water,
their flowers are very obscure, and not produced freely in northern climates. L. trisulca has dichotomous.
Aliform, divaricated stems, having a lanceolate leaf at the angle of the branches, but proliferous ones termi-
nating the branches ; where these leaves are conjoined, there shoots out a pendant radicle, with a conical
papilla at its base Linna;us observes, that the stems are flatted and proliferous, crossing each other, and thus
resemblmg in the mode of growth the opuntia or Indian fig. The leaves of L. minor arc very small, of a
roundish ovate form, collected into heaps by twos or threes, and forming extensive green plats on stagnant
waters; each leaf drops a single radicle. This plant affords nourishment not only to ducks, but to the fresh
water polype, to Phalama Lemnata, &c. Its quick and extensive propagation makes it troublesome in some
cases, out at the same time it is considered valuable as converting hydrogen gas into air adapted to respiration.
L polyrhiza is distinguished by its dropping bundles of thick black fibres from the lower surface of the
leaves. The plants sink in the water in the winter season, and either these or new ones appear again in the
spring.
1940. Anguria. One of the Greek names for the Cucumber. The plant now so called is also a kind of gourd.
The species grow freely on light soil, and are propagated by seeds or r
19*1. Comptonia. Named in honor of Henry t'ompton, Lord Bishop of I>indnn, by whom the fine collection
of plants attached to the episcopal palace at Fulham was formed. A handsome shrub, which thrives in peat
soil, or sandy loam, and is increased by suckers or layer-.
1942. Hernandia. So called in honor of Francisco Hernandez, a Spanish botanist, and first physician to
Philip the second of Spain, by whom he was sent to Mexico for the sake of investigating the natural history of
that country. Linnteus is .said to have named it in allusion to the large leaves and little flowers of the plant.
Which may be supposed to represent the great means and small advantages which attended the expedition
of Hernandez. This is an upright lofty tree, with an elegant head. The fruit is a nut, sustained and partly
enveloped by a yellow persisting calyx. The nuts are very large, and as they move in flic wind, produce sound
enough to alarm unwary travellers. In our stoves the plants grow freely in loamy soil, and ripened cuttings,
with their leaves on, root in sand under a hand-
1943. Aryris. A word of unknown meaning. Plants of little beauty and the easiest culture.

Italian painters after him, have put it into the hand of Christ as a sceptre, when he was saluted as ■ king in
mockery by Herod's soldiers. The plant appears to be a native of every part of the world, in pond-, ditches,

1946. Sparganium. From rrecfyxtot, a band, in reference to the long ribbon-like leaves of the plants.
Sparganium ramosum is the commonest species : it has a strong creeping root, and soon fills up a ditch or
pond, if suffered to remain unmolested. It is common not only in Furope, but in Barbarv, Siberia, and North
America.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
extreme rigour of his climate. C. remota is a very elegant plant C. paniculata grows in bogs in immense
tufts, making a firm support for the heaviest bodies. C. Fraseri is the handsomest species of the genus,
resembling at a short distance when in flower, one of the Liliacea?. C. riparia has leaves half an inch wide, and
from one to three feet long ; in Italy the leaves are used by the glass-makers to bind their wine flasks ; by the
chair-makers to bottom chairs ; and by the coopers to place in the junctures in the heads of casks, in the same
manner as the leaves of the Typha are used in the same country, and the stalks of Scirpus lacustris in
England. C. arenana increases rapidly in loose sand, and is sometimes planted with a view of fixing soils of
this description, along with Elymus and Arundo.
1948. Cobresia. Named by Willdenow, after a German nobleman of the name of De Kobres, who is said to
have been a great promoter of natural history. The plants resemble Carex.

1949. Uncinia. So called from oyxot, a hook, in allusion to the hooked awn, which in the fruit becomes
hardened, l'lants with the habit of Carex.
1950. Zea. The Greek name of com of some kind. It is derived from t,eu>, to live, and applied to this
nutritive plant with propriety. The word Maize is the denomination of the vegetable among the South
Americans. Zea Curagua is the curious Valparaiso com, to which a sort of religious reputation is attached, on
account of the grains, when roasted, splitting regularly into the form of a cross. Of the well known Indian
com, Z. Mays, there are numerous varieties, some of which are sufficiently hardy to thrive in this climate.
1951. Coii. A name .used by Theophrastus to designate a kind of grass. C. Lachryma, commonly called
Job's tears, derives its name from the appearance of its shining pearly fruit, which, when suspended on its
slender pedicels, resembles in no inconsiderable degree a falling tear. Tropical grasses, which flower and seed
plentifully in rich light soil.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
1952 Trtpsacum. So called by Linnasus, from ™&u, to bruise or crush, in allusion to the purpose to which
its grain may be applied. Forage grasses of the West Indies.
1953. Heteropogon. From in^K, various, and xuym, a beard; in allusion to the various kinds of awns with
which the flowers are furnished.
1954. Olyra. A name under which Homer speaks of a grain which was used ai the food of horses, and
which has been thought analogous to Barley. The plant now so called is a native of America, and has no
resemblance to that of the ancients.
1955. Alnus. From the Celtic word al, near, and Ian, the edge of a river, in reference to the places where
the species grow. A. glutinosa, Aulne, Fr., Eller, Ger., and Alno, Ital., is a well known timber tree, which wiU
grow in marshy situations. The timber is applied to a variety of purposes, and in general for all works in-
tended to be constantly under water, for turnery and furniture. The bark is used by dyers and tanners : the
sap being of a yellow color and very astringent. There is a variety with cut leaves sold by the nurserymen as
an ornamental tree, though it is more curious than showy.
1956. Betula. Beta is the Celtic word for the Birch. Bouleau, Fr., Birchenbaum, Ger., and Betulla, Ital.
B. pendula is the most graceful tree of the genus ; it grows both in mountainous situations and bogs,
from Lapland to the subalpine parts of Italy and Asia. B. lenta, the mahogany birch, mountain mahogany,
or cherry birch of Canada, abounds in the middle states of Pennsylvania, New York, and the Jersevs ; but dis-
appears altogether in the higher latitudes of the northern states. It is thought a verv fit tree for planting in
the valleys of the mountainous districts of Britain. Its growth is rapid, and the timber is close grained,
!>eautifully variegated, and well adapted for cabinet work. The leaves, which appear early in spring, possess

and Miscellaneous Particulars
a peculiar fragrance, which they retain after being dried in a stove, aflbrding by infusion an agreeable diluent,
superior to some of the common teas of commerce
B. populifolia and papyracea are elegant rapid growing trees, well deserving culture for their timber. AH
the S|>ecies are ornamental, and more or less fragrant ; and B. pumila and nana are pretty little shrubs. Of
the Betula papyracea the North American Indians construct their large portable canoes, from which circum-
stance that species is known by the name of canoe birch. Betula lenta is the most interesting of the genus
on account of the excellent e ol lb wood. It is known by the names of mountain mahogany black birch'
cherry birch, and sweet birch. This last appellation it has from the sweet scent the branchl'cts give when
bruised.
1957. Burus. An alteration of t»\k, its Greek name. B. sempervirens, Buis, Fr., Buc/isbaum, Ger , and
Bosso, Ital. is one of the most useful of evergreen shrubs ; edgings of the dwarf variety are of universal use in
the walled gardens of Furope ; and what is called the tree box is not less valuable as an evergreen shrub
which will grow under the shade and drip of trees. The box is a native of most parts of Furope, from
Britain southwards, and is very abundant in different parts of France and Switzerland. It abounds in many
countries of Asia, as about Mount Caucacus, in Persia, China, Cochin China, and America. It was formerly
very common ill England, l.ut has gradually disapjicared as agriculture extended. Box-Hill in Surrey, Boxley
in Kent, ami Boxwell in Gloucestershire, are named from their abounding in this tree. The timber of the
box ttee is of considerable value. It is sold by weight, and being very hard and smooth, and not apt to warp,
is very well adapted to a variety of nicer works. It is as extensively employed now as it appears to have been
in the days of Evelyn, " for the turner, engraver, carver, mathematical instrument maker, comb and pipe or

flute maker ; and the roots for the inlayer, and cabinet maker. Of box are made wheels and shivers, pins,
pegs for musical instruments, nut-crackers, button-moulds, weavers' shuttles, hollar-sticks, bump-sticks, and
dressers for the shoemaker, rulers, rolling-pins, pestles, mall-balls, beetles, tops, tables, chessmen, screws,
bobbins for bone-lace, spoons, knife-handles, but especially combs."
The English wood is esteemed inferior to that which comes from the Levant, and the American box is said
to be preferable to ours, for most purposes ; but the English is superior for the purpose of the engraver.
The ancients made combs of box, and musical instruments to be played upon by the mouth The Romans
likewise clipped it into form, for which nothing, says Pliny, is more fit. And Martial mentions clipped box trees
in the gardens at Bassus's country-house.
The tree box was second to the yew with us in former times for the purpose of being clipped into the shape of
animals, &c. ; but the dwarf box stood unrivalled " for bordering up a knot, and was esteemed a marvellous
tine ornament to the flower garden."
The branches were in request among our ancestors for decking up houses ; they are still seen among other
evergreens in churches at Christmas, and in some countries they are borne by attendants at funerals.
Box has been much celebrated as a medicine in the venereal disease, colicks, intermittent fevers, and even
madness. According to Dr. Blaine, it is the principal ingredient in Well's Watford Drink, which is given as a
preventive to canine madness.
Pliny affirms, that no animal will touch the seed of box. Gmelin relates, that the branches are fatal to the
camels that eat them. None of our animals seem to touch this tree. Corsican honey was supposed by the
ancients to owe its infamy to the bees feeding on the box.
1958. Cicca. A word of unknown meaning. Cicca disticha thrives in light loamy soil, and is increased
by cuttings with their leaves on, planted in sand, and covered with a hand-glass.
1959. Morus. Me»£« was the Greek name of the Mulberry; it is derived from the Celtic mor, which
signifies black. Murier, Ft., Maulbeerbaum, Ger., and Moro, Ital. M. alba is commonly cultivated in France
and other countries for its leaves, to feed silk-worms ; though in some parts of Spain and in Persia they are
said to prefer the black mulberry. In China, it appears that both sorts are grown for the same purpose. The
most valuable variety of M. alba is one grown in Italy, and especially in Lombardy, with vigorous shoots, and
much larger leaves than the other. A number of plants of this variety have been lately imported for the
purpose of making a plantation in the south of Ireland, with a view to try the growth of silk in that country.
In France the white mulberry is grown as pollard elms are in England ; in Lombardy it is grown exactly
in the same way as we grow willows for baskets, and in similar soil ; in China it is also grown in moist loamy
soil, and both there and in the East Indies as low bushes, and the plantation rooted up and renewed every three
or four years. In many parts of the continent, when the leaves are wanted for the worms, they are stript off
the young shootSj which are left naked on the tree ; in other places the shoots are cut off, which is not so
injurious to the tree, while the points of the shoots, as well as the leaves, are eaten by the worms. The plants
are sometimes raised by seed, but more commonly by layers ; the Italian variety is frequently grafted on seedling
stocks of the common sort, in order to preserve it from degenerating. In the East Indies, the plants are raised
from cuttings, three or four of which are placed together where they are finally to remain. (Encyc. ofAgr. 884.)
The fruit of the white mulberry is white, and less acid than that of the black species.
M. nigra is naturally a stronger tree than the other ; the fruit is of a dark blackish red, and of an agreeable
aromatic and acid flavor. It has a place in the Materia Medica, as cooling and laxative, allaying thirst, and
being grateful in febrile diseases. Voung trees, like most others of the Monoecious class, often produce

only male blossoms for many years after they are planted, and yet afterwards tiecomc fruitful. As the tree
increases in age, it increases in fruitf'ulness ; and in full grown trees the fruit is much larger and better
flavored than in young ones. In some of the old gardens near London, there are mulberry trees of a great
age, which are very healthy and fruitful. Bradley says, that most of these were planted in the times of James 1.,
who attempted unsuccessfully to set up a silk manufacture in England. The fruit of the mulberry, like
that of the strawberry and raspberry, is said not to undergo the acetous fermentation in the stomach, and
therefore it may be safely eaten by gouty and rheumatic persons. It is a mistake, however, to suppose that
these fruits are lighter than others which have not the same antifermentative qualities.
The mulberry is generally propagated by layers, but it may also lie increased by seeds, cuttings, or grafting.
It is generally grown as a standard in orchards ; but will produce fruit sooner as an espalier or wall tree.
M. rubra has black shoots, rougher leaves than the black mulberry, and a dark reddish fruit, longer than
the common sort, and of a very pleasant taste The tree is cultivated in China for feeding silk-worms, but not
so generally as the white mulberry. M. indica is also cultivated for the same purpose. M. tatarica bears pal«
red berries of an insipid taste, but eaten in Russia fresh, conserved, or dried ; a wine and a spirit are also
made from them, and the leaves are used for feeding silk-worms.
M. tinctoria is a tall branching tree, with a fine head, smooth leaves, and awl-shaped solitary spines. The
whole plant abounds in a slightly glutinous milk of a sulphureous color. The timber is yellow, and a good
deal used in dying that color, for which it is chiefly imported into Euro|>c, under the name of Fustick-wood.
The berries are sweet and wholesome, but not much eaten, excepting by birds.
All the species of Moms are remarkable for putting out their leaves late; so that when they appear, gar-
deners may safely set out their greenhouse plants, taking.it for granted, that all danger from frost is over.
1960. Bahmeria. Named after George Rudolph Bohrrier, a German botanist, and a member of the academy
of Wittemberg. He published several works, besides an academical dissertation upon the cellular tissue of
vegetables. Plants of little beauty, and easy cultivation and propagation.
1961. Pilea. So called by Mr. Lmdley, from *•/?.(«*, a cap ; in allusion to the nature of one of the divisions of
the periar.thium. A neat little creeping plant, which makes a good cover to hide the earth of large pots of tro-
pical plants.
1962. L'rtica. A word formed from uro, to bum, in allusion to the stinging pro|>erties of most of the species.
The English term Settle seems to be the Anglo-Saxon A'r/W, which is itself an alteration of nW/,a needle, in
the same language. U. dioica grows all over Europe, in Barbary, Silxjria, and Japan, in hedges, neglected
field.-, gardens, and pastures. This spivios, U. urens, and pilulifcru', with one or two others, are furnished with
stings. The small projecting bristles or prickles with which they are covered are tubular, and stand on a bag
filled with a poisonous juice ; they are perforated at the point, aiid when they are gently pressed vertically, the
pressure at once forces the poison to ascend the tube, and enables the point to lodge it in the skin. The top*
of the tender shoots of V. dioica are sometimes used as a pot herb early in spring, and they have even been
forced for that purpose. A strong decoction of the plant salted, will coagulate milk very readily and without
any disagreeable flavor. The stalk is found to have a texture somewhat like that of hemp, and to be capable
of "being manufactured into cloth, ropes, and paiier. The leaves are the only food of the caterpillar* of three
of our most beautiful butterflies, AUlanta, Paphia, and Urtica?, the principal food of the lo, and the occa-
•ional food of the Comma album ; the caterpillars also of the urticata and verticalis moths feed on it : a great
number of other indiscriminate feeders devour its foliage -, and the bases of the leaves in autumn are frequently
disfigured by tubercles, w hich contain small maggots, probably producing Musca Urticae. As a remedy for the

History, L'se, Propagation, Culture,
1970. Exocarpus. So called from sja>, outside, and zu-exot, fruit, because the nut appears to be seated on the
outside of the pericarp, on account of the great receptacle on which it is placed.
1971. Nephelium. According to Dodoens, Nephelion was a name anciently given to the Burdock. The
modern plant bears bristly fruit like the involiicrum of the Burdock. It is an excellent fruit, known in the

annuals, and A. sanguineus and caudatus common border flowers ; like all the species they are of
culture in light rich soil. Most of the species are very prolific in seeds, which preserve 'their germin;
quality several years. r b«"*""
1976". Luffa Its name in Arabic is louff, according to Forskahl. A curious kind of gourd, not often seen
on account of its offensive odor. It is cultivated in Arabia and China. It climbs up the Palrn trees, covering
and elegantly adorning their trunks. The fruit when young is pickled, like the Mango ; but Europeans think
it has a. disagreeable taste, and is not very wholesome. L. Charantia has a fru.t with a yellowish skin, but
very red flesh, and when ripe, it bursts elastically. Culture as in Cucumis.
1977. Ambrosia. A poetical name. Ambrosia is the name of the food of the heathen divinities, as nectar
was their beverage ; of the former, the odor was delightful, whence its name has been applied to an herb, the
leaves of which, when bruised, emit a grateful scent. Weedy plants of no beauty.
1978. Securinega. From securis, a hatchet. The name was given by Commerson, because the wood was so
Hard as to be capable of being manufactured into cutting instruments. It grows and flowers freely in loam and
peat, and cuttings strike in sand under a hand-glass.
WV-Zizania. One of the Greek names of the rye-grass was Jjfcwov ; according to Golius, the same plant
was called by the Arahs Zoilan. The modern plant has no relation to the ancient, being a native of America
where it is called Canada rice. This plant has been acclimated in Middlesex and Ross-shire; it grows on the
margins of ponds, and is exceedingly prolific of bland farinaceous seeds, which afibrd a very good meal It
abounds in all the shallow streams of North West America, where its seeds contribute essentially to the
support of the wandering tribes of Indians, and feed immense flocks of wild swans, geese, and other water
i or p'nkert°n says, this plant seems intended by nature to become the bread corn of the north.
1980. Pharus. From <px°es, a covering. Brown gave this name to the plants, because their long broad leaves
arc employed as wrappers for various purposes by the natives of Jamaica. Fine stove grasses.
1981. Guetttnda. Etienne Guettard was a French botanist, who published in 1747, a catalogue of the plants
growing in the vicinity of Estampes. Splendid plants, which grow in loam, peat, and sand : and are increased
by cuttings in sand in a moist heat and covered.
1982. Sagus. So named in allusion to the nutritive properties of the substance obtained from it. From
this palm is produced the Sago of the shops. The wood is full of white pith, like that of elder ; the pith is
taken out, bruised in a mortar, and then put into a cloth or strainer, held over a trough, and water being
poured in, the pith is washed through the cloth into the trough ; the water being then drawn ofT, the sago is
taken out and dried for use or transportation. The fruit is eaten by the Japanese, but the tree is chiefly
esteemed for its highly nutritive pith.
1983. Cocos. Linnaeus regards this name as of Greek origin. In that language, xoxrot means a kind of
fruit, but it does not appear that there was any relation between that and the modern cocoa nut. D'Herbelot

says, (BW. Or. 278.) that in India the fruit is called cozi, whence the Turkish name cox, for a nut : but this
requires confirmation. In Malabar it is called tenga, in the Moluccas calappa, and by the Brahmins medo.
C. nucifera is a native of, and cultivated in, most places within the tropics. The trees grow to a great height,
with a straight trunk, and, like almost every species of the Palm tribe, without branches. The leaves are from
twelve to fifteen feet long ; the flowers come out round the top of the trunk in large clusters, inclosed in a
sheath, and the nuts succeed them, commonly ten or twelve together.
There are few trees more extensively or variously useful. The leaves are employed as thatch to cover
houses, and to make mats either for sitting or lying upon. The leaf, when reduced to fine fibres, is the
material of which a beautiful and costly carpeting is fabricated for those in the higher ranks ; the coarse fibres
are made into brooms. After these useful materials are taken from this leaf, the stem still remains, which is
about the thickness of the ankle, and furnishes firewood.
The wood of this palm, when fresh cut, is spongy; but becomes hard after being seasoned, and assumes a
dark brown color. On the top of the tree a large shoot is produced, which, when boiled, resembles brocoli, but
is said to be of a more delicate taste; and though much liked, is seldom used by the natives, because on
Cutting it off, the pith is exposed, and the tree dies. Between this cabbage-like shoot and the leaves, there
spring several buds, from which, on making an incision, there distils a juice differing little from water, either
in the color or consistence. It is the employment of a certain class of men to climb to the top of the trees in
the evening, with earthen pots tied to their waists, which they fix there to receive the juice, which is regularly
carried away before the sun has had any influence upon it This liquor is sold at the bazaars by the natives
Under the name of toddy. It is used for yeast, and forms an excellent substitute. In this state it is drank with
avidity, both by the low Europeans and the natives, and is reckoned a cooling and agreeable beverage. Alter
being kept a few hours, it begins to ferment, acquires a sharp taste, and a slight intoxicating quality. By boiling
it, a coarse kind of sugar is obtained ; and by distillation, it yields a strong ardent spirit, which being every
where sold, and at a low price, constitutes one of the most destructive annoyances to our soldiers. The name
given to this pernicious drink by Europeans, is Pariah arrack, from the supposition that it is only drank by the
Pariahs, or out-casts, that have no rank.
The trees from which the toddy is drawn do not bear any fruit, on account of the destruction of the buds;
but if the buds be left entire, they produce clusters of the cocoa nut This nut in the husk is as large as a
man's head, and when ripe falls with the least wind. If gathered fresh, it is green on the outside; the husk
and the shell are tender. The shell, when divested of the husk, may be about the size of an ostrich's egg, and
n lined with a white pulpy substance, which contains about a pint and a half of a liquor like water; and
though the taste be sweet and agreeable, it is different to that of the toddy.
In proportion as the fruit grows old, the shell hardens, and the liquor diminishes, till it is at last entirety
absorbed by the white milky substance, which gradually acquires the hardness of the kernel of the alrann>L

and is almost as easily detached from the shell. The natives use this nut as their victuals ; and from it they
also express a considerable quantity of the purest and best lamp oil. The substance which remains after this
operation, supplies an excellent food for poultry and hogs. Cups and a variety of excellent utensils are made
Of the shell.
The husk of the cocoa nut is nearly an inch thick, and is, perhaps, the most valuable part of the tree ; for it
consists of a number of strong fibres, easily separable, which furnish the material for the greatest part of the
Indian cordage ; but is by no means the only substitute which the country affords for hemp. This the natives
work up with much skill.
Plants of the cocoa nut tree are frequent in our stoves, being easily raised from the nuts sold in the shops,
planted in rich earth, and on a mcist heat ; but the plants are seldom allowed room enough to come into
nower ; though it has been observed, that this is almost the only palm that could be cultivated in this country
for perfecting its fruit ; all the others being dioecious plants. Sweet observes, that they seldom succeed well in
our collections ; perhaps from being too much exposed to the sun : he is " informed they thrive best in the shade
in the West Indies, where cultivators of them plant tall trees near them for that purpose." (Bot. Cult. p. 42.)
C. aculeata has a trunk the thickness of the human body ; the pinna; of the fronds are longer than in the
cocoa, and prickly like the bark of the trunk. The fruit is as large as a crab, and of the same shape ; under
a green skin it has a thin sweetish astringent pulp ; and within that, a nut full of a white sweet eatable kernel.
The nut is said to yield the true palm oil. The outside of the trunk is made into laths, hows, and darts.
1984. Elate. This was one of the names given by the Greeks to the membrane which envelopes the female
flowers of the date ; that is to say, to its spatha. Modern authors have applied the word to a kind of Indian
palm. The fruit of E sylvestris resembles a wild plumb. The poorer sort of people chew it in the same
manner with the Areca nut, with the leaf of the betel pepper and quick-lime. The elephants are fond of the
frith-stalks, which are very sweet. In our stoves the plants require a sandy loam, and a strong heat.

1985. Bactris. So called by Jacquin, from £««?{•>, a cane, because the small stem is made into walking,
■ticks, which are much valued. B. minor produces a fruit of a dark purple color, the size of a common cherry,
containing an acid juice, of which the Americans make a sort ol wine. It is also eaten raw, but is not
pleasant Canos are made of the stem; they are dark-colored, shining, jointed, and very light; the French
call them Cannes dc Tobago. B. major has a large nut with a solid kernel, which is eaten in Carthagcna. In
our stoves they form handsome plants, and grow freely in sandy loam ; like other palms, they are only to be
increased by seed.
1986. Ceratophyllum. So called from xi;xs, a horn, and fvkXot, a lecf, on account of the numerous horned
divisions of the leaves. Aquatic weeds of no lieauty.
1987. Myiiophyllum. From w-j.sr, a myriad, and tftikXn, a leaf, on account of the infinite number of divisions
of its leaves. Aquatics of some lieauty, and the easiest culture.
1988. Sagtttaria. So called from sagitta, an arrow, in reference to the arrow-headed form of the leaves.
S. sagittifolia is one of the handsomest of British aquatics, and is common in Siberia, China, Japan, and
Virginia. The bulb, which fixes itself in the solid earth below the mud, constitutes an article of food among
the Chinese, and upon that account they cultivate it extensively. The roots arc larger in those countries than
with us. All the species are of common culture.
1989. Begonia. Named in honor of Michael Begon, a Frenchman, born in 1638 ; he was an intendant ol
Marine, and a promoter of botany. These are universally plants remarkable for the neatness of their foliage,
and their succulent habit. B. argyrostigma and discolor are the two most beautiful species. They are all
cultivated without difficulty either from seeds or cuttings.
1920. Poterium. Literally, this word signifies a drinking vessel, and in the same sense, a kind of beverage.
A drink was made of it, which was reckoned useful in many complaints ; it is also an ingredient in cool
tankards. P: sanguisorba is sometimes sown along with clover as an herbage plant ; it is now, however, out of

repute The leaves when bruised smell like cucumbers, and taste something like the parings of that fruit:
they are sometimes put into salads. All the species are of the easiest culture.
1991. Amirola. A word with an unknown meaning. The Peruvians form the shining black seeds of Amirola
nitida into rosaries.
1992. Acidoton. From otxiluroi, pointed ; in allusion to the stinging pointed hairs of the leaves.
1993. Thelygonum. A name under which Pliny described a plant which appears to have been Mercurialis.
It was derived from ShjXu; , a woman, and ynv, a knee, because of its joints, which where thought to resemble
a woman's knee. Cyno-crambe, literally interpreted dog-cabbage, was the Greek name of Mercurialis
perennis.
1994. Castanea. A native of the territory of Castanea, a town of Thessaly, near theborders of the river Peneus,
where magnificent chesnut trees still are found. The chesnut, Chatagnier, Fr., Castanienbaum, Ger., Castagno
Ital., is, like the walnut, both a timber and a fruit tree; some of "the oldest trees in the world are of this
species ; as that mentioned by Brydone on Etna, and the chesnut at Tortworth, in Gloucestershire. The fruit
is generally eaten roasted ; abroad, it is not only boiled and roasted, but ground into meal, and puddings,
cakes, and bread are made from it. The timber is thought to have been formerly in very general use for house
carpentry, though some consider what is generally called chesnut in our old buildings as oak. It is one of the
best trees for hop poles, and scarcely any other is now planted in Kent and other hop districts for that purpose.
Some excellent fruit-bearing varieties have been lately imported from France ; these are increased by grafting
or budding in the usual methods, but the plants for coppice woods or timber are best raised from nuts. There
is a variety with striped leaves which is very ornamental. The most esteemed of the French kinds are called
Marron, a word which in old French literally signifies a substance, which it must be confessed the fruit is not
unlike.
The American chesnut differs so little from the European, that no specific distinction can be drawn. It is
one of the largest and most useful trees of the forests, the wood being extremely durable, and in high esteem
for posts and rails to construct fences. The nuts are very delicious. The Castanea pumila or Chinquapin nut,
is a small tree, or rather shrub, growing to the height of thirty feet in the southern states, but scarcely exceed-
ing seven or eifht in cold latitudes. The fruit is very sweet and agreeable to eat.
1995. Ostrya, So called from o/lcvn, a scale, in allusion to the scaly catkins of the fruit, which resemble
those of the hop, whence the plants are called Hop-Hornbeam. The wood of Ostrya virginica is exceedingly
hard and heavy, whence it is generally known in America under the name of Iron-wood. In some parts it is
called Lever-wood.
1996. Corptnus. From the Celtic words car, wood, and pin, the head ; that is to say, wood fit for the yokes
sf cattle. The wood is white, and of a fine close texture, which makes it peculiarly fit to be wrought into the

»anous forms with which the country people of all nations have delighted to ornament their yokes. Our
English word Horn-beam has evidently the same meaning. C. Betulus is a tree of little merit or beauty,
having persistent leaves like the beech ; it is well adapted for hedges or separation, where the object is shelter.
1997. Fagus. From the Greek $r,-/K, which also signifies eatable. We all know that mast was the original
food of man. The Fagus of Virgil, was the Quercus /Esculus. HStre, Fr., Buc/ie, Ger., Faggio, ItaL F.
sylvatica is a handsome tree in every stage of its growth. It seems to thrive best in a chalky clay or loam,
rather sheltered. It is one of the handsomest single trees for parks, and is well adapted to form lofty
hedges. The timber is brittle, and not of long duration ; but it is much used by turners, joiners, and mill-
wrights. The bark is remarkably thin, and has been used for making baskets and band-boxes. The leaves are
used in France by the country people, on account of their elastic quality, instead of straw for the paillasse t»
lay under their mattrasscs. The mast is readily eaten by swine and deer.
F. cuprea, the copper colored, and F. purpurea, the purple beech, are two of the most striking of timbet
trees, from the color of their foliage. They are propagated by grafting, and grow as freely as the common beech.
Fagus ferruginea is distinguished by the Americans from the common kind by the name of Ked Beech, the
wood being of a darker color.
1998. Curylus From x»;w, a bonnet ; to which the enwrapping calyx may he very well compared. Our
word Hazel is in like manner derived from the Anglo-Saxon fl&scl, which signifies an head-dress. Noisette,
I'r, Nustbavm, (ier., and AweUamO, Ital. C. aveilana has the s|>ecific name from Avellino, a city of the
kingdom of Naples, near which, in a valley, itgrow6 to a great extent, and in Swinburne's time, brought in an
annual profit of near U',i««>/ sterling. It is said the* were originally imported into Italy from I'ontus, and

Hazel-nut is wild in many woods and coppices in Britain, whence the fruit is gathered in plenty and sent to
the neightmuring market* \« underwood, the plant is of some value for hoops, fishing-ro.ls, walking-sticks,

in ale during its fermentation, hung them up to dry, and when they brewed put them into the wort.
There are several varieties ..f the cultivated fiUiert What is culled the frizzled filbert is esteemed the best.
The plants do not require a rich sod, but one with a dry bottom. They are generally propagated by suckers,
and grown as dwarf standards, each plant with a single clean stem, from six feet high down to twelve ini bes
When allowed to throw up suckers trom the root and form a thick bush, they cease to bear fruit in any
quantity. The filbert bears principally upon the sides of the upper young branches, and from small shoots
which proceed from the bases of side branches cut olf the preceding year. Hence the spurring-in method of

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
pruning is the most successful in the production of fruit. C. Coiurna may be treated in the same manner a*
the other, but the plants kept at a somewhat greater distance apart
The nuts of the American Hazel-nut, Corylus americana, are very excellent.
1999. Juglans. That is to say, Jovis glans, the nut of Jove, on account of its excellence, which must have
been great indeed, when gods had nothing but oak or beech-mast to eat J. regia, walnut, from gaul-nut, the
tree being introduced from France, Noyer, Fr., Ji'alnussbaum, Get., and Noci, Ital., is cultivated both as a
fruit and timber-tree. The fruit in a green state, before the stone hardens, is much used for pickling, and also
as an adulteration of soy sauce. An oil, which supplies the place of that of almonds, is expressed from the
kernel in France. In Spain they strew the gratings of old and hard nuts, first peeled, into their tarts and
other meats. The leaves strewed on the ground, and left there, annoy worms ; or macerated in warm water,
afford a liquor, which from its bitterness may effect their death. The unripe fruit is used in medicine for the
same purpose. Pliny says, " the more walnuts one eats, with the more ease will he drive worms out of the
stomach." The timber is used in this country for gun-stocks, being lighter in proportion to its strength and
elasticity than any other. It is used in cabinet-work in most parts of the continent : the young timber is held
to make the finest colored work, but the old to be finer variegated for ornament. When propagated for timlier,
the nut is sown ; but when fruit is tne object, inarching from the branches of fruit-bearing trees is preferable.
Budding has also been successfully adopted by Mr Knight ; the buds succeed best when taken from the base of
the annual shoots ; ordinary-sized buds from the upper parts of such shoots generally fail. Walnut trees that
have not been grafted or budded, may be induced to produce blossoms by ringing the bark.
Juglans nigra, the black walnut, is a tree of large size, and its nuts are eaten by men and several species of
animals. The wood is put to various mechanical and economical uses. J. cathartica is known under the name
of butter-nut, oil-nut, and white walnut ; the nuts are used by the American Indians medicinally. The fruit
of J. olivaeformis, or the Pekan-nut, is delicious; sometimes it is exposed in the fruiterers' shops for sale. The
nuts of J. sulcata, which is called thick shell-bark hickory, and Springfield and Gloucester nut, are large
and well-tasted. The shell-bark hickory, shag-bark, or scaly .bark hickory, J. alba, is so called on account of its
bark, which is torn lengthwise in long loose strips, as in J. sulcata The wood of J. tomentosa, the Mocker-nut,
white-heart hickory, or common hickory, is excellent for mechanical purposes, and particularly esteemed a»
fire-wood ; but the nuts are hard, with but little kernel in them. The Americans make very good and durable
brooms by slitting into narrow slips the very tough wood of J. glabra, which is called pig or hog-nut, also
broom hickory.

SO00. Quercus. This name is derived from the Celtic quer, fine, and cuez, a tree ; it was so called, in dis-
tinction to other trees, because the holy misseltoe grew upon it : otherwise the common name of the oak in
Celtic was derxv, whence druids, and the Greek &evf. Phellos was the Greek name of the cork, Q. suber.
Gramuntia has derived its name from growing in the wood of Grammont, near Montpelier. Suber is
generally thought to have been formed from the Latin sub, under, because the bark was used by the Roman
women as sandals, both for keeping their feet dry, and increasing their stature ; but Vossius is of opinion, that
it comes from cvix?, the Greek name of bark of any kind. Coccifera has been so called because the little
insect, coccus, which affords the well-known kermes dye, is found upon it. Kermes itself is an alteration of
germex, which signifies in Arabic, a little worm ; the same people called the red dye qermexy, whence our
Norman-Knglish word cramoisye. Robur is an alteration of rove, a Ct'ltic synonwn ol the oak. £gilops,
literally goat's-beard, wis so called on account of the long truss or beard-like lichens which were frequently
found hanging suspended from it.
The oak is a genus of trees familiar to man in the temperate zones of both hemispheres. Q. Robur, now valued
for its timber and bark, and formerly for its acorns, is familiar to every Briton. There are two distinct varieties
or subspecies ; Q. sessiliflora and pedunculata, and another Q. pubescens. Q. pedunculala is thought to be
the common oak of Kngland, being much more frequent in natural woods than the others. The timber of this
variety is said to be whitish and hard, while that of the sessile-fruited is reddish and brittle. The bark of this
and til the hardy species of oak is or may be used by the tanner. Oak saw-dust is the principal indigenous veget-
able used in dyeing fustian ; and different shades of drab and brown are also made from it. Oak-apples are used
In dyeing as a substitute for galls ; the black got from them by the addition of copperas is more beautiful than
that from galls, but not so durable. These galls are occasioned by an insect of the Cynips kind, which
deposits its eggs in the substance of the leaf. When the bark of the oak has performed its office to the tanner,
it is emploved by the gardener to produce heat by its fermentation. Oak leaves are also used for the same
purpose. When a great pro|>ortion of the island was in forest, acorns were of importance for feeding swine;
they are still valued for this purpose in districts where the oak abounds, as in Hampshire and Northampton,
shire. Q. cerris is a very handsome tree, and the timber is considered nearly as valuable as that of the common
oak. The Lucombe (from the name of the nurseryman who raised it; and Fulham from the name of the
nursery where it was first originated) varieties arc nearly evergreens ; they retain their verdure till Christmas,
and remain on the tree in a brown or withered state till April or May following.
Q. coccinea is one of the handsomest of the American oaks ; the leaves, which are six inches long, change in

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
autumn to a beautiful scarlet color, and unless hard frost comes on early, they do not fall off the tree till near
Christmas. Q. rubra bears a near resemblance to the last species. Q. tinctoria, Quercitron, Fr., has been
recommended to be cultivated on account of its bark, which affords a valuable yellow dye. {Caled. Hort.
Mem. iii. 378.
Q. suber is cultivated in Spain, Portugal, and the south of France, for its cork-bark. The exterior bark is
the cork, which is taken from the tree every eight or ten years ; but there is an interior bark which is left on
to protect the tree, so that stripping off the outer bark is so far from injuring the trees, that it is necessary to
their continuation. Trees that are never barked are said to die at the age of fifty or sixty years. The bark is
taken off for the first time when the tree is about fifteen years old; it soon grows again, and may be rebarkea
three times, the bark improving every time till the tree attains the age of thirty years. It is taken off in sheets
or tables, much in the same way as oak or larch bark is taken from the standing trees in this country. After
being detached, it is flattened by presenting the convex side to heat, or by pressure. In either case it is charred
on both surfaces to close the transverse pores, previously to its being sold. The carbonized surface produced
by this charring, may be seen in bungs and taps; but not in corks, which being cut in the lengthway of the
wood, the charring is taken off in the rounding.

The uses of cork in Britain are well known. It was used as sandals by the Greeks, whence our cork soles,
and probably the Venetian chopping! [ciopptni, ItaL), or shoes so high heeled, as to raise the women above the
men. Tht/j>oor people in Spain lay broad planks of it by their bed-side to tread on, as great persons use
Turkey and Persian carpets to defend them from the floor ; and sometimes they line the walls and insides of
their houses built of stone with this bark, which renders them very warm, and corrects the moisture of the air.
Both in Spain and Barlwry bee-hives are made of cork ; for this purpose, they roll the lark into a cylinder of
five or six feet long, and six inches in diameter, boring holes for the entrance and exit of the bees, as in the
Polish hive. (Encyc. qf Gard. 1758.)
Q. coccifera, Cusoja, Span., has prickly leaves like those of the holly, or Q. ilex, from this species is collected
the kermes or scarlet grain, a little red gall, occasioned by the puncture of the Coccus ilicis. With these galls
scarlet color was dyed, till the discovery of America, when another species of Coccus, the cochinillifer, was
found in the Mexican woods upon the Cactus.
Q. phellos is remarkable for the form of the leaves, which differ in character from those of the rest of the
species. Q. ilex, the holly, or holm oak, Chfine verd, Fr., Elice, Ita!., and Entiiia, Span., is a handsome ever.
Itreen tree, and the timber is supposed equal to that of the common oak. Q. gramuntia is thought hy some

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
to be only a variety of this specie*. The acorns of Q. esculus are sweet, and, it is said, are frequently eaten by
the poor in the south of France : the tree very much resembles the common English oak.
The willow oak grows to the height of about fifty or sixty feet. The Q. virens, or live oak, grows to the
height of forty or fifty feet, spreading its branches, when in open places, extremely wide; it yields the finest
and most durable ship-timber of any species known ; for which reason it is considered one of the most valuable
trees in America. The laureloak, or, as it is sometimes called, swamp willow oak, is about fifty or sixty feet
high ; its wood, according to the elder Michaux, is very valuable, and almost preferable to that of Q virens.
The water oak, Q. aqualica, is about forty feet high when full grown : its wood is but little valued. Its leaves
vary according to the soil and age, ad infinitum. There is scarcely one tree found having leaves like the other •
and the same tree is almost as variable in its different branches. The downy black oak, Q triloba is from
twenty to forty feet high, according to Michaux, of very rapid growth, and extremely well calculated for
inclosing land. The barren oak, or black jack of the Virginians, Q. nigra, is of low growth, especially in the
more northern states; it bears very abundantly, and furnishes a fine mast for hogs; the wood is small but
excellent for fuel. The hlack oak, or Quercitron, Q. tinctoria, is one of the largest trees of the American
forest, and highly valuable on account of its timber as well as bark, which is very superior for tanning to any
other oak. Q. falcata is a very large tree, commonly called Spanish oak. The wood of the upland white oak
or iron oak, is of great value in ship-budding. The fruit of the Q. Prinus, known by the name of the chesnut
white oak, swamp chesnut oak, and, in the southern states of North America, white oak, is large and of a
sweet taste. Tiie bark of the rock chesnut oak, Q. montana, is excellent for tanning The yellow oak O
castanca, is a large and beautiful tree w ith eateable acorns. '
2001. Liquidambar. From this tree Hows a strong balsamic suhstance, which has been compared to ambergris,
and named trom Ambar, amber, and liquidum, fluid. L. styraciflua, in its general form and leaves, bears a
considerable resemblance to the lesser Maple, (Acer campestre) as the wood is good timber and beautifully
variegated. Between the wood and the bark issues a fragrant gum, which trickles from the wounded trees,
and by the heat of the sun congeals into transparent drops, which the Indians chew as a preservative to their
teeth. It smells like the balsam of Tolu. The species are propagated by layers or from seeds
The sweet gum-tree, or Liquidambar styraciflua, is sometimes found of an immense size, particularly in the
southern states ; its wood is of an exquisite hard texture and fine grain, and furniture made of it has a hand-
some appearance.
2002. Platanus. From xKajvs, ample, broad, in allusion to the shadow afforded hy the foliage. The species
are trees of peculiar grace and elegance, and from that circumstance, and the classical associations attached to
them, they are eminently adapted for pleasure grounds. The chenar, or eastern plane, is very much employed

in the gardens of Persia and India ; it was highly esteemed by the Greeks and Romans, and was planted
near their houses in the form of avenues and groves. Groves of these trees are still equally revered in India,
and are commonly found near the native temples and burial places of the princes. The timber is considered
of similar quality to that of sycamore. All the species are of easy culture by layers, and they will also grow
by cuttings.
The Platanus occidentals is known in America by the name of the button-wood, water beech, sycamore,
and plane-tree ; in Canada it is called cotton-tree. It is, perhaps, the largest tree in North America ; on the
fertile banks of the Ohio and Mississipi there are trees measuring from ten to sixteen feet in diameter.
2003. Satisburia. So called in honor of Richard Anthony Salisbury, F. R. S., a modern distinguished botanist
A large tree remarkable for its fan-shaped leaves, cloven like some of the Adiantum species The fruit is a pale
brown drupe of a globular form ; it has never been produced in this country, though there are trees of a con-
liderable size The fruit is yellow when ripe, with a fleshy, juicy, white pulp, adhering closely to the dru(>e,
which is Uke that of an apricot The kernel is white, rather firm, sweet, with a mixture of austerity or
bitterness when raw, but agreeable when roasted. Dr. Abel »a)s, he saw the fruit exposed in the markets in
China, but could not find out to what purpose it was applied.
2004. Carludovica. Named by the authors of the Flora Peruviana, in honor of Charles IV., king of Spain,
and Luiza, his queen ; both of whom were noble patrons of botany, and deserving of a finer genus to
commemorate their virtues. The species arc low palm-like herbs, of little beauty, but of great botanical
interest
2005. Caladium. A name originally employed by Rumphius, to designate some species of Arum, and
revived by Ventenat Its meaning is unknown. The species have the appearance ot Areca, and are only
cultivated for their singularly spotted stems, or neat green leaves, which are rarely disfigured by any of the
accidents to which other stove plants are liable. The species are plants of the same general appearance as
Arum. C. sagittifoliura, Cnou-de-Brcsii, Fr., and Essbare Arum, Ger., bears a near resemblance to Arum
Colocasia, and is carefully cultivated in the West Indies for the leaves, which are boiled and eaten as coleworts,
being extremely pleasing to the taste. The roots are also eaten there, but they are in less esteem than the
leaves. This is generally supposed to be the species of the Arum family the most universally cultivated. It
is found in the East and West Indies, China, Japan, New Zealand, a.nd the South Sea Islands. The root is
extremely acrid, and when eaten raw, will excoriate the mouth ; but baked in hot ashes, it looses its acrimo-
nious quality, and becomes mild and well tasted ; it is, however, heavy on a weak stomach, and is apt to
occasion costiveness. The leaves, which are very soft, glauioue, and covered with a very fine silky nap, are
Med in many places instead of plates and dishes,

2006. Arum. Formerly aron ; supposed to be an ancient Egyptian word by which the A. colocasia was
known. The last mentioned name is an alteration of its Arabic denomination qolqds, according to ForskahL
Perennial herbaceous plants, mostly natives of hot climates. The roots are fleshy, hot, and acrid, but in many
species eatable ; they are generally without stems, and altogether, with the Caladiums, form a very singular
family A. Dracunculus, Serpentaire, Ft., Drac/ienwarz, Ger., and Dracunculo, Ital., is a very remarkable plant ;
the stalks of the leaves being spotted with brown and purple, like the belly of a snake. The flower, which, like
others of the genus, has a very singular appearance, smells so strongly of carrion, that few persons can endure
it. It might be used in medicine and domestic economy for the same purposes as A. maculatum. A. Colocasia
has a tuberous thick large oblong root, and leaves resembling those of the water-lily. In Egvpt and the Levant,
this plant is esteemed a wholesome food, though not very delicate. The roots and petioles "are boiled, and the
leaves when young are sometimes eaten raw. A. trilobatum, and various others, are similarly used in the West
Indies. I here and in Europe the culture of all the species is of the simplest kind
A. maculatum, Goiiet, Fr., Aronsxuarlzel. Ger., and Aro, Ital., has a tuberous whitish root about the size of
a large nutmeg, which is used both as food and medicine. On tasting them, they seem to be merely mucila-
ginous and insipid but they soon affect the tongue with a pungency as if pricked by needles ; this uneasy

because a wine was prepared from it which soon got into the head, ««»«, head. C. urens, a fine species of
palm, produces flowers in long pendulous spikes, which are succeeded by strings of succulent globular berries,
dark red when ri|>e. with a thin skin, soft pulp, and very sharp and acrid to the taste. In Ceylon, it yields a
sort of liquor, sweet, wholesome, and no stronger than water. It is taken from the tree twice or thrice a day,
and an ordinary tree will yield three or four gallons. They boil this liquor, and thus make a kind of brown
sugar of it, called Jaggory. The fruit is not eatable. When the tree has come to maturity, there comes out a
bud from the top; this bud they cut and prepare by putting salt, pepper, lemons, garlick, leaves, Uc over it,
which keep it from ripening. They d ily cut off a thin slice from the end, and the liquor drops into a vessel,
which they set to catch it. The buds, like those of the Cocoa and Betel-nut, are excellent in taste, resembling
walnuts or almonds. C. mitis is a very beautiful palm, with fronds four feet long and a branched spike of
flowers, succeeded by licrries, round, coriaceous, smooth, black, the size of a musket bullet, but not eatable.
Both species grow freely in sandy loam.
2008. Xipa. The name given to this fine palm in the Moluccas.
2009. Arcca. The name which this palm bears in Malabar is, when it is an old tree, Areec ; when young it is
called Piiynga. A. Catechu produces the nut which is cut in slices, wrapped in the aromatic leaves of the
betel-pepper, and chewed as we do toliacco. These leaves are previously covered with a thin layer of shell-
lime F.hunam , to preserve the flavor longer in the mouth. In most parts of the East Indies the natives are
continually chewing it, swallowing their saliva tinctured with the juice, and spitting out the rest. The inside
of their mouths appears as red as blood, and it gives their teeth a dark color : but it preserves the tceih,
sweetens the breath, and is a stomachic and diuretic. This palm is very generally cultivated in the Last
Indies.
A. olerarea is the highest of the American palm?, and is very distinct from the East Indian Areca. the
sheaths of the leaves are very close, and form the green top of the trunk a foot and a half III length. Tne

artichoke.
2010. Belis. Named by R. A. Salisbury, in the Transactions of the Linnean Society, from ZtXos, a javelin, on
account of the form and texture of the leaves, which are not unlike a javelin head. B. lanceolata is a beautiful
evergreen shrub, with distichous neat leaves, easily cultivated in any good conservatory.
2011. Agathis. From a.y«.&is, a cluster, because the flowers are collected in clusters. This genus is formed
of the Dammar Pines, of which the A. australis, or New Zealand Cowdie Pine, is one of the finest trees in the
world, often growing perfectly straight to the height of 100 feet or more, and yielding one of best description!
of wood for masts.
2012. Pinus. This name is of Celtic origin, and is the same in all the dialects of that tongue. Pin or pen,
a rock or mountain, has given rise to pin, in Armorican ; peinge, in Erse ; pinua, in Welsh ; pinu, in Anglo-
Saxon ; pine, in English ; pynbaum, in German ; all signifying the fir-tree : hence also the Appenuines (Alpes
pennines), Pennafiel, Pennaflor, &c. towns of Spain embosomed in mountains. The fruit of P. Pinea wag
formerly called Nux pinea., the pine nut. Pinaster is Pliny's name for the wild pine. Cembra is an alteration
of the word cembro or cirmo/o, the name given by the inhabitants of Trentin and Valteline to the plant.
Tajda is derived from the Greek Sas Ixiof, which signifies a torch, for which the wood of P. tasda is particularly
adapted. Strobus is a name employed by Pliny for an eastern tree, which was used to perfume apartments.
The moderns have applied it to a noble North American species.
The trees which compose this genus are not less remarkable for their grandeur and beauty, than for their
valuable timber. They are all evergreens, and of lofty and erect growth. The trunk of the Scotch pine is more
generally employed and more universally applicable as timber than any other tree in the temperate zone of
the northern hemisphere. P. sylvestris, Pin, Fr , Keifer or Fbhre, Ger., and Pina, Ital., is erroneously called
a fir; and has the term Scotch applied to it, because it is the only species of the genus indigenous to Britain, and
there only in the northern parts of Scotland. It is also indigenous in the Alps, in the north of Germany,
Russia, and abundantly so in Sweden and Norway. The finest pine woods in Britain, are at Invercau'. ' ■
Inverness-shire, and Gordon Castle in Aberdeenshire. The timber of the Scotch pine is the red or yellow
deal of the north of Europe, and is the most durable and valuable of any of the genus, unless we except, in
point of durability, the larch. That grown in cold elevated situations in the highlands of Scotland, is found to
be not inferior in quality to any imported from Norway ; but that which has been planted in the low districts,
is greatly inferior in point of durability, and can seldom be used in house carpentry and joinery. The tree is
•t great value as a nurse plant to others less hardy. The trunk of the tree produces resin by incision, and the
roots tar by distillation. Several varieties of the wild pine haye been noticed by botanists. According to
Sang, the variety commonly cultivated is least worth the trouble. " The P. sylvestris, var. montana," he says,
is the variety which yields the red wood : even young trees of this sort are said to become red in their wood
and lull of rtsm very soon. The late Mr. Don, of Forfar, exhibited specimens of cones of each variety to the
Highland Society of Scotland, and likewise to the Caledonian Horticultural Society. The variety preferred by
Don, is distinguished by the disposition of its branches, which are remarkable for their horijonUl direction,
and for a tendency to bend downwards close to the trunk. The leaves are broader and shorter than in the
common kind, and are distinguishable at a distance by their much lighter and beautiful glaucous appearance.

The bark of the trunk is smoother than in the common kind. The cones are thicker, and not so much
pointed. The plant is more hardy than the common sort, grows freely in almost any soil or situation, and
quickly arrives at a considerable size."
P. laricio is said to be nearly allied to the Scotch pine, but a much handsomer and finer tree. Professor
Thouin considered it equally hardy with P. sylvestris ; its wood is more weighty and resinous, and consequently
more compact, stronger, and flexible. It grows wild on the summits of the highest mountains in Corsica. P.
resinosa, the red Canadian pine, is not unlike the Scotch pine, but rather redder in the bark. The timber of this
tree is frequently imported as masts, and is considered valuable. Grown on a damp and fertile soil, it is much
less durable than from elevated situations; it is equally hardy with P. sylvestris. P. pinaster is a grand and
picturesque tree, and is a great favorite with the Roman and Florentine painters. The timber is of less value
than that of any of the others that have been mentioned ; in Switzerland it is cut into shingles for covering
their houses. It is highly deserving of culture as an ornamental tree, but not for timber.
P. Pinea is very common in the south of Italy ; there is an immense forest of them at Ravenna, and they
are much planted in the gardens of the villas of Rome and Florence. The seeds of this and the last si>ecies
are eaten throughout Italy, both by the poor and rich. They are as sweet as almonds, but with a slight flavor of
turpentine. The wood is not so resinous as that of most of the other sorts, and the tree can only he considered
as deserving culture for its pictorial etlect. P. Cembra, the Tannenbaum of Lord Byron (Childe Harolde).
and the Aphernousli pine of Harte v Essays), grows higher up the Alps than other pines, and is even found at
elevations where the larch will not grow. The wood is very soft, and having scarcely any grain, is very fit for
the carver. The peasants of the Tyrol, where this tree abounds, make various sorts of carved works with the
wood, which they dispose of in Switzerland among the common people, who are fond of the resinous smell
which it exhales.
P Taeda has longer leaves than the wild pine, and larger cones than P. Pinea ; the timber is like that of the
Scotch pine, but has more reain. There are a number of these trees at Woburn Abbey, which grow as freely
as the Scotch pine, and the timber, as far as it has been tried, is superior.
P. palustris is remarkable for the length of its leaves, which often exceed a foot, and hang down in tufts at
the end of the I ranches, having a singular api*arance. It grows in a warmer climate than most other p.nes ;
produces a valuable timber in America, but has been but little cultivated in this country. P. strol us form.-* the
connecting link between the pine and the larch tribe, and is the tallest tree of the genus. The bark is smooth
and elegant, and the leaves numerous, soft, and of a bluish green. The timber is imported in vast quantities
under the name of white pine ; it is much used in house carpentry, but is considered less durable than the red
deal of Norway (P. sylvestris), or the pitch pine of Canada (P. resinosa). The tree seems to be of so delicate
a habit, as to prevent our expecting it ever to become very large or valuable in Britain. It has been a good
deal cultivated, having formerly been supposed the most valuable tree of the genus, next to the common
pine.
The Pinus canadensis 6ecms never to have been well described or understood. Some have taken it for the
Pinus Larix, others for the Pinus ta?da, whilst others had confounded it with the Pinus maritima. Von Buch,
and the late Christian Smith, named it in their catalogue of the vegetation of TenerifT, Pinus cananensu,
and they state, that it inhabits that island from the edge of the sea to an elevation of 6700 Parisian feet
above the level of the sea ; but that the region where it ia most abundant may be reckoned at from 40Sb

to 5900 feet, where snow falls for about a month. The temperature of the zone M. Decandolle estimates to
be similar to that of Scotland, or to the north of France, or of Germany. The wood is resinous, highly
inflammable, and is excellent for constructing buildings, be.ng known to continue sound for ages.
The P.nus mops, Jersey p ne, p.tch or scruo pine, is of middle s.ze, straggling growth, and full of resin. Its
branches are tougher than those of any other pine, and might be used for many purposes if its wood were not
subject to so early a decay. The pitch pine, P resmosa, is generally known in its nat ve country by the name
of Norway pme ; sometimes, particularly among the Canailian French, re.l pine. It grows in close forests, is
very tall, and its bark remarkably smooth and re.l : the limber is very heavy; for which reason it is rejected
for masts, though its shape and s ze appear to recommend it for that purpose. The scrub pine, P. Banksiana,
is a small straggling tree, which in some instances, when growing among barren rocks, does not rise above five
or eight feet h.gh, though it will grow to a considerable size when by accident or culture it is brought on good
soil : trees of this species now in England exude a great quantity of resin from their branches The yellow
pme, P. variabilis, is most in use for i.uikbng houses as well as shipping. P. taeda, the loblolly or Oldtielil pine,
is found in large tracts m the southern states of North America : all the woods seem to be rilled with its seeds ;
for when any piece of cleared land is neglected for any space of time, it will be covered with these pines. It
is difticult, and in some ca.ues almost impracticable, to recover lands so run over, as the ground appears to have
lost all fertile properties for other vegetation. The long leaved, yellow, pitch, or brown pine, P palustris, is a
beautiful as well as very useful tree. The white or Weymouth pine grows in the state of Vermont to an
enormous size; it is the best timber in America for masts.
2013. Abies. According to Bullet, this name is derived from one of the dialects of the Celtic, abetoa, whence
abcte, Italian, abeto, Spanish, &c Hesychius, the Greek grammarian, calls it xSiv.
Abies communis, Sapin, Vi., Fichtenbaum, Ger., and Abiete, Hal., is one of the tallest of European firs, with
a very straight but not thick trunk. It is a native of the north of Germany and Russia, and particularly
abundant in Norway ; its timber being the white deal, and, at an earlier age, the long spars imported from that
country and the Baltic. The timber is inferior to that of the common pine in durability and bulk; and being
often knotty, is not proportionally strong for horizontal bearings with that timber. White Norway deal, how-
ever, is used for a great variety of purposes in building ; and the entire trees are more prized than any other
for masts for small craft, for spars both for marine purposes and on land. What constitutes the value of this
fir is, that its timber is equally durable at any age, like that of the larch ; and what renders it peculiarly
adapted for masts, spars, scaffolding, poles, &c. is its habit, almost in every case, whether standing single or
detached, of growing perfectly erect and straight. The tree may be cut for rods, stakes, and scythes, or other
implement handles, when the trunk at the base is not more than two inches in diameter, and the bark being
kept on it, it will prove almost as durable as the larch. Pontey says, that poles of spruce are so far inferior to
those of larch, that they are more apt to crack when exposed whole to the influence of the sun and air : but
in all other respects they are nearly equal to it, and in straightness surpass it. The tree is peculiarly valuable
as a nurse, from being evergreen and closely covered with branches, by which radiated heat is retained ; from
its conical shape and rigid stem, by which it does not suffocate or whip the adjoining trees ; from its being
valuable at whatever age it is thinned out ; and from its being an excellent shelter for the most valuable game.
It will not, however, grow in elevated situations, where the common pine and larch will flourish. It is also s'n
excellent hedge plant for shelter, but is deficient in point of defence and durability. By incision, it yieiu* a
resin, from which, by various preparations, turpentine and Burgundy pitch are formed. The tops or sprouts
give the flavor to what is called spruce beer.
A^ alba, rubra, and nigra, are American firs of the spruce kind, resembling in their general properties those
of Europe. The black spruce is reckoned the most durable : in America it is used for knees for ship-building,
where ne.ther oak nor 1 irch can be easily obtained. These knees are not prepared from two diverging
branches, as in the oak, but from a portion of the base of the trunk connected with one of the largest diverg-
ing roots. The timber of the red spruce is universally preferred throughout the United States for sail yards,
and, indeed, imported for this purpose into Liverpool from Nova Scotia, where it is also used for constructing
casks for salted fish. It is chiefly from the decoction in water of young shoots of the black spruce, and not
exclusively from those of the white species, as supposed by Lambert, that the celebrated beer is prepared by
fermentation, with a due proportion of sugar and molasses. The essence of spruce of the dealers is prepared
by cvapoiating this decoction to the consistence of honey.
A. picea displays a more stable and majestic form than any of the firs. The upper surface of the leaves is
nt a fine vivid green, and their under surface has two white lines running lengthwise on each side of the

infer. or in value to that of the common pine, or of the white spruce. It should not be cut till after forty or
titty years growth; at this age, if it has grown in a sheltered rocky steep or doll, it will be found to have
pruJuced a great bulk of timber. It is more prolific in resinous matter than any other tree of the tir kind.

resin procured from it possesses no medical properties superior to those of common turpentine. During
summer, the tree sends out a p:eas.ng terebinthin.te odor.
A canadensis is a droop. ng low cvergreeu tree, elegant in appearance, and valuable as growing under the
shace or drip of other trees
All the species of the pne, fir, and larch families, with the exception of one or two, as yet ram in this
country, are raised from seeds. The cones are gathered in the winter season, and exposed to the sun, or to a
?;entle heat on a kin, in order to facilitate the separation of the seeds. The cones ol the cedar should be kept
or a year at least after they are taken Irom the tree, before the seed be attempted to be taken out. Ibis is
necessary on account ol the soft nature of the seeds, and the great quantity ol resinous matter which the cones
contain when glowing, and which is discharged by keeping. Cedar cones are generally imported from the
Levant, and the seeds retain their vegetative | owers for many years. The cones of the Scotch pine, spruce,
and larch, are the principal kinds which are opened by kiln heat. The cones of the Weymouth pine, silver tir,
and balm of Gileaii fir, give out the.r seeds w.th very little trouble. April is the best season tor sowing all the
spec.es. The soil should be solt and rich, well mellowed by the preceding winter's frost and snow, carefully
dug and r.iked with a long toothed rake as finely as possible. The r..rer sorts are generally sown in pott, but
the more common in lieds. The manner of sowing is by first drawing off the surface of the bed to tie oepth
of hall an inch ; then drawing a light roller along it to rentier the surface perfectly even ; next depositing the
seed ; and afterwards replacing the earth draw n off a ith a spane as evenly as possible. This is what is techni-
cally called be.. ding in, and is one of the nicest operations of nursery culture. The seed of the Scotch pine
and Pinaster require a covi ring oi half an inch in depth ; those of the Wevmouth pne, three quarters of an
inch ; and those of the stone pine, an inch and a quarter. The Cedar is generally sown in broad pots, or boxes
of light sandy loam, and covered half an inch. The seeds of the larch require a covering of only a quarter of
an inch ; those of tiie spruce Br, an inch ; those of the silver tir and balm of G.lead lir, from hall to three
quarters of an inch. 1 he seeds of the American spruce tir are smaller than those of any ol the preceding
kinds, and therelOre requ re a lighter cover. ng than any of them ; one-tilth of an inch is quite sufficient The
strictest attention is required, both in regard to quality of soil, and thickness of covering the seed ; for though
resinous trees are extreme!) hardy when grown up, yet they are all very tenner in infancy. In sowing the
wed, • considerable Ion « II be bUstained by the suffocation of young plants if it Is deposited too thick, and by
the want of plants .1 too th.n. The judicious gardener will be regulated by the goodliest ol the seed, ami the
sue of the foliage ol the dinerenl species. The raising regular crops of the pine family is reckoned a master
piece of nursery cu.ture in the open ground; and as it has been most extensively practised in the Scotch
nurser.es, it is generally i onsii end as best understood there. See Sunt;. Plant. Kal.)
The pme, fir, and larch families benefit less by transplanting in the nursery than the non-resinou-
Ami in general, where en umstances admit, the better plan is to remove them at once from the seed-bed at
two years old, to where the) are finally to remain The more delicate species, inelud.n/ the cedar and most
of the p.nes, ..re best transplanted into pots, unless they can be placed at once where thev are to remain.
The more common p ne- an.i lirs arc transplanted at two years of age into nursery lines, al out the middle of
April for all the tribe, except ng the larch, which, being deciduous, should be transplanted in February. No
description of tree-plants receive so much injury as tins tr.l e from the loss of roots, from the roots being
exposed to the air by being kept long out of the soil, or from compress, on and exclusion ol air ami moisture
by i eing kept in close bundles, or thick layers. They should, theretore, be finally planted as soon a- possible
alter removal Irom the nursery ; and, indeed, whenever it is practicable, no more should be taken up in one
day than call be planted that day or the next. Nor are any plants more easily deprives of the v.tal principle,
by packing and carriage either by sea or land; though, being all evergreens, excepting the larch, they do not
readily shoiv it. This has i ecu stated to us by experienced planters in w ales .did different parts of Lnglaiid,

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
The hemlock spruce is a very elegant tree, and grows in some situations to an enormous size : its bark U a
fine substitute for oak-bark in tanning.
2014. Larix. This has also for its root the Celtic word lar, which signifies fat, in allusion to the abundance
of resin afforded by the plant. Even Dioscorides remarks, that Larix is the Gallic name for resin. The
authors of the Dictionary of Trevona make the word Cedrus come from xuj/ir,;, sweet-scented, on account of
the balsamic odor exhaled by the wood when burned.
L Cedru*, Cidre, Fr., Cederbaum, Ger., and Cedro, Ital., is unquestionably the most celebrated tree of the
genus, and not less remarkable for the irregular grandeur of its form. The general character of its shoot,
even when the tree is young, is singularly bold and picturesque, and quite different from that of every other
species of the tribe. It is a native of the coldest parts of the mountains of Libanus, Amanus, and Taurus;
but it is not now to be found in those places in great numbers. Maundrell, in his journey from Aleppo to
Jerusalem, in 1696, could reckon only sixteen large trees, though many small ones ; one of the largest was
twelve yards six inches in the spread of its boughs. The forest of Libanus never seems to have recovered the
havoc made by Solomon's forty score thousand hewers: so that we have now, as Professor Martyn observes,
probably more cedars in England than there are in Palestine.
From the branchy head of this tree, and its aversion to pruning, it is not likely ever to become valuable as
timber in this country. When planted for that purpose.it should, as Sang recommends, be sown in groves,
and thus by proximity drawn up with few branches. Much has been said of cedar timber, which borders on
the miraculous ; as far as experience has gone, it is greatly inferior to that of the common larch, or the wild
pine. The great use of the cedar is to plant singly on lawns, or in the margin of plantations, where one or
two specimens will give force and character to the dullest front of round-headed trees.
L. Communis, Meleze, Fr., Lcrchenbaum, Ger., and Laricio, Ital., is a deciduous tree, and there are two
or three species or varieties not yet distinctly ascertained. There is a variety with red and another with
white flowers ; one with cinerous bark, called the Russian larch, and one with pendulous branches. L.
pendula and L microcarpa are considered species or subspecies ; the timber of both is said to be harder
than that of the common white larch ; but these trees have never yet had a fair trial in this country. As
there are a few large specimens at Dunkeld and Athol, seeds will probably soon be obtained, and from their
progeny a practical estimate may be formed of their merits in this country. The red larch trees on the Athol
estates do not contain one-third as many cubic feet of timber as the white larch of the same age. The wood
is so ponderous that it will scarcely swim on water. (Hort. Trans, iv. 416.) The timber of the white larch has
been as much extolled as that of the cedar, and with much more reason. The rapidity of its growth is not
less remarkable than the durability of the timber. Both have been experimentally proved in the Highlands
of Scotland. It is stated by the Duke of Athol, that on mountainous tracts there, at an elevation of 1500 or
1600 feet, the larch, at eighty years of age, has arrived at a size to produce six loads (300 cubic feet) of timber ;
appearing in durability and every other quality to be likely to answer every purpose both of civil and naval
architecture {Hort. Trans, iv. 416.) The tree will arrive at a timber size in almost any situation or soil.
Sang, a forest manager of extensive practice, has paid great attention to this tree. " It bears," he says, " the
ascendancy over the Scotch pine in the following important circumstances : that it brings double the price, at
least, per measure-able foot ; that it will arrive at a useful timber size in one-half, or a third part of the time,
5n general, which the pine requires ; and, above all, that the timber of the larch, at thirty or forty years old,

when it has been planted in a soil and climate adapted to the production of perfect timber, s in every respect
superior in quality to that of the pine at 100 years old. In short, it is probable, that the larch will supersede
the Scotch pine in most situations in this island, at no very distant period."
The chiei objections to the timber of the larch are its liability to warp and twist; but this Monteath and
others have proved may be effectually prevented by barking the trees in spring while growing, and not cutt-ng
them down till the following autumn, or even for a year afterwards. This is also said to prevent the timber
from being attacked by the dry rot. The bark of the larch is more than half as valuable as that of the oak in
tanning ; turpentine is extracted from it in the Tyrol by incision ; but that being always injurious to the timber,
can never be recommended for adoption in this country. (See Encyc. of Gard. 7053. Monteath's Forester's
Gui<L\ 2d edit p. 23J.)
Like all other trees, and especiall) the resinous tril>e, the timber of the larch is much affected by climate and
toil. A certain elevation of surface, coldness of climate, and inferiority of soil, is absolutely necessary to pro-
duce the timber in perfection. Sang has known it in many places make the most rapid progress for thirty or
thirty-rive years, and though there was no external signs of disorder, yet when it was felled, the wood had
begun to rot in the hearts of the trees, and some were quite hollow a good way upwards. (Plant. Kat. 59.)
Larix pendula, black larch, Tamarack or Hackmatack of the Americans, is a beautiful tree, resembling the
European larch in appearance, as well as in the excellent qualities of its wood and bark.
2t)15 Schubertia. Named in honor of M. Schubert, a Polish botanist. The deciduous cypress grows in
extensive swamps, and on the banks of large rivers, from Indian river, Delaware, to Florida, and on the Mis-
sissipi ; it is one of the largest trees of the new continent, and one of the most valuable timbers that country
produces; it grows to a considerable height in this country, though the extremities of the young shoots are
almost every autumn destroyed by frost. The finest specimens are at Sion-house and Blenheim.
2016. Podocarpus From trot Toht*, a foot, and xo.$to{, fruit ; in allusion to the stalk of the fruit The
species are increased by ripened cuttings in sand under a hand-glass
2617. Cupressus. In Greek xvxa,'jrvot, from the isle of Cyprus, where this tree is very abundant Cupressus
fempervircns is a common timber tree in some parts of the Levant. It was employed by the Moors round their
palaces, and both by the ancient and modern Romans in their villas and gardens. The timber of this tree if
faid to resist the worm, and to be of great durability. The doors of St. Peter's church at Home were formed
of this material, and have lasted eleven hundred years. The Greeks made their cott.ns of it ; and the mummy
chests of Egypt are many of them of this wood. In Crete, Malta, and other places, it is used for the common
purposes of building, and when imported into this country it is employed by the cabinet-maker and turner.
Near buildings, where the prevailing architectural lines are horizontal, it forms very suitable combinations :
it is also considered an appropriate tree for burial places. C. Thyoides is an abundant tree in the swamps of
New Jersey and Pennsylvania. It is used for fencing and house-building, and is in the highest esteem lor
shingles and pipe staves. C. lusitanica is a native both of Goa and Japan, and the handtomeft tree of the
genus. It is easily distinguished from all the evergreens of the Conifer* bv its abundance of very long dieho-
tomous pendent branchlets. The culture of the hardy species of this genus, and also of Thuja, is the same as
that of Pinus.
S018. Thuja. An alteration of thya, its real name ; from St*, to sacrifice. Its wood, which gives out when
burnt an agreeable perfume, was used in sacrifices. Thuja occidentahs, Cettre blanc, Fr, is a well knout,

popular evergreen, which, though it seldom rises above the height of a shrub here, yet in Upper Canada attains
the height of a timber tree, ami the wood is considered more durable than any other. The trunk is sawn up
into pl.inks and boards for houses and boat-building, and the branches used for posts and fencing. The smaller
branches and sprav form besoms, and the leaves, made into a salve, are used by the Indians to cure the
rheumatism. In England, the timber has been chiefly employed by the turner and cabinet-maker. In its
native country the Arbor-vit.e succeeds beat in soils where the roots have abundance of moisture. It grows
tallest in swamps and marshes ; in very drv places it never comes to any degree of perfection. The first tree
of this species sent to Euro[/% was planted in the royal garden of Fontuinbleau, in the reign of Francis the
first. T. onentaiis is a shrub resembl.ng the other in general appearance. Both these species are readily
increased by seeds, cuttings, or layers.
2019. Trichosanthes prom 3-^J, hair, and cti&o;, a flower. The limb of the flower is divided into ten parts,
of which the rive outer are reversed and acute, the live interior ciliated. T. Anguina is a popular annual, with
the habit of the common cucumber. The flowers are cut into many small threads, and the fruit is taper, and .
nearly a foot long T. cucumerina has smooth fruit of a red or orange color, the size of a pear. In the
popular med c.ne of Malabar, the seeds are used for disorders of the stomach and bowels. Culture as for the
common gourd.
2020. Momordica. From mordeo, momordi, to chew; its seeds have an irregular rugose surface, and
the appearance of having been chewed M. elaterium has a large fleshy perennial root, somewhat like that
of Bryony. The stems ..re thick, rough, trailing, branching, with rough lea\es on long footstalks. The fruit
is an inch and a half in length, swill ng like a cucumber, of a grey color like the leaves, and covered with short
prickles. When fully rpe, it quits the i>ediincles, and casts out the seed and juice with great force and to a
considerable d. stance through the hole in the base, w here the footstalk is inserted. For medicinal use, the
fruit is gathered n .September, just belore it is ripe ; and the clear juice which runs from it and that obtained
by the expression of the fruit are inspisnatod, and form the elater uin of the shops. This fruit is a very violent
cathart c. It was much employed by the anc.ents, who regarded every part of the plant as purgative; but Dr.
Clutterbuek has proved that this is an error. {Tltomson't Lund. Disp. 3 8.)
M. balsamma has a fleshy ovate fruit, remotely tubercled in longitudinal rows, smooth in the other parts,
red when ripe, bursting irregularly, and d spersing the seeds with a spr.ng. This fruit in Syria is famous for
curing wounds. They cut it open when unripe, and infuse it in sweet o.l, exposed to the sun for some days,
until the oil is become red. It may then be applied to a tresh wound dropped on cotton. M. operculata has a
green fruit, the top of which falls oil' "hen it is ripe like a lid; within it has no pulp, but is dry, and tilled
with netted fi: res, very much interwoven.
9181. Cucuibita. A Lat.n word sign.fy ng a vessel. It is said to be derived from the Celtic cuce, a hollow
thing. C. lagenaria has a fru t shaped like a bottle, with a large round sh belly, and a neck very smooth ;
when ripe o( a pale yellow color, some near six feet long ami eighteen inches round ; the r nil becoming hard,
and being dried contains water ; seeds quadrangular oblong, cut oil' and emarginate at top, three-cornered
and beaked at bottom ; edge keeled with a double raised line, smoothish, of a p ,le bay color. The Arabians
call the bottle gourd Cnarrali. The poor people eat it boiled, with vinegar, or rill the shell with rice and meat,
and thus make a kind of pudding of it. It grows in all parts of Eg>pt and in Arabia, wherever the moun-
tains are covered with rich soil. In Jamaica, the shells are generally used for water cups, ami frequently

it is bitter and purgative, and may be used instead of Coloquintida.
C. pepo, Palisson. Fr., has hispid branchy tendril stems, which in good soil will extend forty or fift,
feet in a season, and cover an eighth part of an acre. The fruit is oblong, ovate, varying in form and
size; some not less than lour feet in circumference. In some parts of England the pompion (corruptly
pumpkin) is sometimes planted by cottagers on dunghills, and suffered to trail at length over the grass of an
orchard. When the fruit is ripe, they cut a hole on one side, and having taken out the seeds, till the void
space with sliced apples, adding a little sugar and spice, and then, having baked the whole, eat it with butter,
under the name of pumpkin pie. On the continent the fruit, both unripe and ripe, is used in soups, stews, and
fried in oil or butter. The tender tops of the shoots boiled as greens are much more delicate than the fruit.
C. aurantia is more tender than the common pompion. The fruit is small, round, of a bright yellow when
ripe, and may be used like those of the other species. C. verrucosa has a small round fruit, with a woody rind.
In Amer.ca it is gathered when half grown, and boiled to eat as a substitute for greens; but for this purpose
this anil most of the species are inferior *o the succade Gourd.
C. melopepo, Puliron, Fr., Pfebin KutUm, Ger., and Popone, Ital., has a large fruit, reddish yellow or
yellowish-white within and without, roundish, but often flatted at top and bottom; torulose, and sometimes
warted. It is cultivated in America as -i culinary vegetable. C ( itrullus, Pasteque, Fr., H'tissermelone,
Ger., and Cucoinero, Ital., is readily riistiii'-iishcd from all the other species by its deeply cut leaves. 1 he fruit
is roundish, large, smooth, often a foot anu a half in length, with a white icy flesh, streaked with dark red
and black seeds. It is much cultivated '. . the warm countries of Europe, and also in Asia, Africa, and
America, for its cooling quality. It serves the F.g ptians for meat, drink, and physic. It is eaten in abund-
ance during the season, winch is from the beginning of May until the overflowing of the Nile ; that is, to the
end of July or beginning of Augu-t. It is the only medicine the common people use in ardent fevers. For
this purpose they have a variety that ie softer and more juu y than the common sort : when this is very ripe,
or almost putrid, they collect the juice, and mix it with rose-water and a little sugar. This fruit should be
eaten by Europeans w.th gre t caution ; when taken in the heat of the day, whilst the body is warm, colics
and other bad consequences often ensue, and it is well known that persons are much troubled with worms at
the time this fru t is in season.
The Succade Uourd, a variety of C. ovifera, has an ell ptic oblong pale- yellow fruit, by far the best for culinary
purposes of any species ol the genus. When very young, d is good irien with butter; when about half grown,
it is excellent eitner boiled as a substitute for greens, or stewed in sices with rich sauce ; when lull grown, it
is used tor pies. Sabine, who has cultivated most species of C ucurhita, considers the vegetable marrow without
a rival {Hurt. Train, vol. II. 255)
All the S|ie ies may be raised on a hot-bed in April, and transferred to the open garden at the end of May,
und'T a warm aspect and in a rich soil ; or they may be sown in a trench filled with hot dung, where they are
finally to remain. Their after culture is of the easiest description.
It is not very genet lly known, that the tenner tops of all the species of the Cucurbita and Cucumis families,
whose fruit may lie eaten, when lioiled form a very tender subst.tute for greens.
S2U22. Cucumis. A word with the same derivation as the last. C. lolocynthis has fruit the size and color of
orange ; the pulp light, spungy, and white, and most intolerably bitter. When ripe, it is |>eeled and dried in a
Move, and in this state it is imported from the Mediterranean under the name of coloquintida. Medicinally, it

is a very powerful drastic cathartic, requiring to be employed with caution, on account of its violent effects.
When given alone, even in moderate duses, it purges vehemently, producing violent gripings, bloody ejections,
and not unt'requenily convulsions and inflammations of the bowels. {Thorn. Loud. Di p. 271.)
C. sativus and Melo (^.eXov, an apple) are 100 well known to require farther notice in a work of this descrip-
tion. C anguria has hispid angular steins, and small flowers like tho.-.e of Bryony. The fruit is of the size
and shape of a pullet's egg, of a dark-green color, and prickly like a hedgehog. It is eaten green, or with other
herbs in soups in the West India Islands, and is esteemed an agreeable and wholesome ingredient. C. prophe-
tarum has a striped fruit smaller than a melon ; the odor nauseous, and the taste as bitter as Coloquintida.
The fruit of C. acutangulus is very insipid, but in India is eaten boiled and pickled. C. Chate has a roundish
fruit almost like that of the melon ; the taste is somewhat sweet and cool, but not so cool as the water meloD.
In Egypt it is eaten as the most pleasant fruit they have, anil that from which delicate persons have least to
apprehend. The culture of all the species is similar to that of the common cucumber.
21)23. Sicyns. 1ix.uk was one of the Greek names of the cucumber, from nxv'S, unpleasant. The specie*
are trailing plants like those of Cucnmis, but with much smaller fruits.

chirurgion, Master William Goodorous, shewed me a roote heereof, that waied halfe an hundred waighte, and
of the bignesse of a cliilde of a yeere old." To this Linna-us ascribes the quickness of its growth, though it
springs late. The roots have been formerly by impostors brought into an human shape, carried about the
country, and shewn tor mandrakes to the common people. The method which these |>eople practised, was to
open the earth round a young thriving Bryony plant, being careful not to disturb the lower fibres of the root ;
to fix a mould such as is used by those who make plaster figures close to the root, fastening it with wire to
keep it in its proper situation, and then to fill in the earth about the root, leaving it to grow to the shape of
the mould, which is effected in one summer. This root is a famous liyuragoguc, and highly purgative and
acrid.

The abolished genus Xylophylla, which is now included in Phyllimthus, ig very generally cultivated on account

of Jamaica, tir.-t described the plant He formed it from opu$ot.>.os, a navel, and im;, a stamen ; because the
male organs are collected in a fleshy navel-like mass occupying the centre of the flowers. It grows freely in
light loamy soil, and cuttings, with their leaves uninjured, root in sand under a hand-glass.
2>>30. Hippomane. From itto;, a horse, and /xavix, madness ; the name was given by the Greeks to a plant
which grew in Arcadia, and which possessed the dangerous property of making horses furious. This Hippo-
mane must not, however, be confounded with that of Virgil (third Georgic), which is an animal substance.
The Manchineel-trce grows to a vast size on the sea coast of the Caribbee Islands and neighbouring continent
The leaves are ovate, serrated, acute, and very shining. The fruit fall off from the tree spontaneously, and
pave all the ground with their numbers. They are highly poisonous, and are said to be eaten by the sea-crabs,
which collect about the trees in vast numbers. But this is supposed by Jacquin to be a vulgar error. The
whole tree abounds with a « hite milk, which is highly poisonous, and so very caustic, that a single drop placed
upon the skin instantly causes the sensation of a hot iron, and in a short space raises a blister. It is a common
belief that to sleep beneath the branches is death ; but Jacquin and his companions reposed under it for three
hours at at. me without inconvenience. The wood is a most beautiful material for furniture, being finely
variegated with brown and white, and susceptible of a high polish. The workmen who fell the trees, first
kindle a tire around the stem, by which means the juice becomes so much inspissated as not to follow the blows
of their axes. Whole woods on the sea-coast of Martinique have been burnt, Li order to clear the country ot

2031. Sapium. A name unaer which Pliny indicates a sort of pine, so named from the abundance of resin
which it produces ; from sap, fat or greasy in Celtic. The Americans employ the juice of Sapium aucuparium
as bird-lime, for catching partots and other birds. For this purpose they cut oft' a limb of the tree, and the
next day collect the sap which has flowed out and become inspissated. They call it Mangle cautivo. The
juice is also burned in lamps. Cuttings root freely in sand under a hand-glass.
2032. Croton. The Greek name of a certain insect called ricinus by the Latins, which the fruit of Croton
resembles.
Croton Tiglium alfbrds an oil used in medicine, which is so powerfully irritating, that a small drop placed
upon the tongue, has the effect of exciting an irritation along the whole intestinal canal, which does not soon
subside. It is usually employed in mixtu.e with oil of almonds, in order to weaken its too violent powers. C.
lineare in its general appearance resembles rosemary, and is called wild rosemary in Jamaica. C. tinctorium is
used to dye both silk and wool of an elegant blue color, and the juice is used lo color wines and jellies. The
substance for this purpose is called Turnsol, and is made of the juice which is lodged between the calyx and
the seeds : this, if rubbed on cloths, appears at first of a lively green, but soon changes to a blueish purple , if
these cloths are put into water, and afterwards wrung, they will dye the water of a claret color j the rags thus
dyed are brought to England, and sold in the druggists' shops by the name of Turnsol.
C. Eleuteria furnishes the Cascanlla bark, which is chiefly imported from Eleutheria, one of the Bahama
Islands. It consists of pieces of about six or eight inches long, scarcely one-tenth of an inch tbick, qu.lled,
and covered with a thin whitish epidermis.. It has a pleasant spicy odor, and a bitter warm aromatic taste.
It is very inflammable, and is easily distinguished from all other barks by emitting, when burnt and extinguished,
a fragrant smell resembling that of musk. Medically, this bark is' a valuable carminative and tonic, and is
an excellent adjunct to the Cinchona bark in fevers. C. lacciferum, a plant not yet in gardens, is one among
several species on which the gum lac is said to be produced. Some of the spines we are in possession ol, art
much admired for their variegated leaves: all of them are freely propagated by cuttings with the leaves on,
planted in sand, and plunged in moist heat under a hand-glass.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
root, yields an excellent nutritious article of food when the juice has been expressed, which is a strong poison.
J. gossypifolia is considered a beneficial plant in the West Indies, on account of the seeds, which are much
relished by and very nourishing to poultry. J. Manihot, the Cassava of the West Indies, and the Mandioca
and Tapioca of Brazil, formerly supplied the greater part of the nourishment of the nativos of South America,
and is now very generally cultivated there and in the West Indies. It yields an agreeable wholesome food ; is
of rapid growth, the roots arriving to perfection in about eight months, and it will thrive in any soil or situa-
tion. The juice of the root is sweetish, and when swallowed, or when the root is eaten without preparation,
it brings on convulsions, and occasions violent retching and purging. It acts only on the nervous system ; it
produces no inflammation on the stomach ; but the stomach of a man or other animal poisoned by it, appeari
to be contracted one half A little mint-water and salt of wormwood, timely administered, will prevent all bad
consequences In preparing the roots for use as food, they are washed, scraped, and grated to a pulp : this pulp
is then pressed, and when dried is a powder resembling starch or flower fit for use. It is generally baked as
bread, and bears a considerable resemblance to that made from wheat flour. The roots entire, or in a powdered
state, form an article of considerable export from different parts of Brazil. All the species thrive well in our
stoves, and are increased by cuttings, which Sweet states, succeed best when stuck in the tan in a good heat.
2034. Ricinus. A name with the same derivation as Croton, No. 2032, which see. R. communis, though an
annual and herbaceous plant in our gardens, becomes a tree in Africa of several years' standing. In Canriia it
continues many years, and, according to Belon, requires a ladder to come at the seeds. The seeds furnish the
well known Castor-oil of medicine. This oil is obtained both by coction and expression. The former method
is performed by tying up the seeds, previously decorticated and bruised, in a bag, which is suspended in boiling
water, till all the oil is extracted and rises to the surface, when it is sk immed off. Oil so obtained is apt to become
rancid, and, therefore, the better mode is to subject the seeds to the press, in the same manner as is done with
almonds to procure almond oil. (See Amygdalus.) The oil obtained is equal to one fourth of the weight of
the seeds employed. It is often adulterated with olive oil, linseed oil, and poppy oil. The great value of castor
oil as a purgative is the mildness and rapidity with which it operates. It is peculiarly adapted for infants.

women in childbed, and persons bed-ridden. Sown in pots on heat early in the season, and transplanted a»
soon as the frosts are over into a mass of light rich soil, the plant makes one of the most magnificent of
border annuals, often attaining the height of ten or twelve feet
2u35. Hura. Its American name. H. crepitans is a rapid growing tree. From the quickness of its vegeta-
tion, its parts are of so loose a texture, that a loud clap of thunder, or a sudden gust of wind, frequently causes
the largest boughs to snap asunder. The wood is only fit for joists and spars : the sap of the leaves and bark is
corrosive, and the seeds when roasted purge both upwards and downwards. The species are propagated by
large ripened cuttings, planted in sand, plunged in heat, and covered with a hand-glass. Its fruit when ripe
bursts with a loud crack, whence the specific name of crepitans ; they arc of a very elegant form, resembling
a depressed sphere with many rounded ribs, arranged with the utmost symmetry.
2036. Sterculia. Sterculius was the god of the privy, from stcrcus, excrement. It has been well olacrvcd

objects and the most disgusting actions. They had the gods Sterculius, Crepitus, Priapus ; and the god.

To this class many of the observations made upon the last are equally applicable. Like it, the genera would
have been more conveniently distributed among previous classes. The genera it contains are chiefly trees, and
many of them form the most valuable portion of the forests of all parts of the world.
In Monandria is found the celebrated Pandanus or screw pine, which, with its strange spiral branches, con-
stitutes one of the most singular features of the vegetation of the Isle of France. Dianriria contains the
valuable Salix ; Pentandria, the hop, the hemp, and the spinage. The black Bryony, and various palms have
a station in Hexandria ; the poplar in Octandria ; the Papaw and the Bonduc tree in Decandria. Monadelphia
is richly endowed with valuable trees, such as the yew, the Norfolk Island pine, the juniper, the nutmeg ; and
it also coiitains the wonderful pitcher-plant of China.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2041 Pandanus. The Malay- name of the genus is Pandang, which is said to signify, being interprets,
something to be regarded, and to have been so named on account of the beauty of the tree, and its exquisite
odor. P. odoratissimus is a arge spreading branching bush, with stem-clasping imbricated leaves, bearing
some resemblance to those of the pine-apple ; from three to five feet long, and placed in three spiral rows round
the extremities of the branches. It grows in all soils and situations in the warmer parts of Asia, and is much
employed there for hedges. It grows readily from branches, whence it is rare to find the full-grown ripe fruit
The tender white leaves of the flowers, chiefly those of the male, yield that most delightful fragrance, for
which they are so generally esteemed and for which the plant is cultivated in Japan. Of all the perfumes, it

2042 Salix. From the Celtic sal, near, and lis, water Our common name osier, seems to be a slight altera-
tion of the Greek una., which means the same thing. This is a numerous and difficult genus of trees and
shrubs, with one or two exceptions limited in their range to the temperate regions of Europe and America.
Many of the species are distinguished by such delicate shades, that onlj the most acute botanists cm recognise
them. Soil, situation, and climate produce so considerable a change in their appearance, as to render it
difficult to determine what are species and what varieties. Those species which attain a timber size, are
chiefly valued for the rapidity of their growth ; they produce a great bulk of trunk and lop in a short time,
and the bark of most of the species has recently been used in tanning ; being, at an average of sorts, about
half as valuable as that of the oak. S. alba is considered the most valuable timber tree of the genus ; it has
i branching stem, and tapering flame-shaped head. It may be seen pollarded by way-sides in most parts of
Europe, in which state it is very productive of poles, fence wood, crate ware, fuel, and bark for the tanner,
as that of the oak. A variety of this species, called by Fontey, the red

a century in Scania. Few ol the willow species can be considered ornamental, though the male plants ol s.
pentandra and amygdalina produce numerous showy catkins of a bright yellow color, and very odoriferous.
The leaves of S. pentandra are also fragrant, exuding a copious yellow resin from their serrated edges. The
down of the seeds of this and other species, mixed with the third part of cotton, has been found a useful adulter
ation, especially for slutting cushions and forming candle-wicks. Goldfinches and other birds line their nests
with this material.
The weeping-willow is generally admired ; it grows wild on the coast of Persia, and is common in China. It
is sometimes: said to have been introduced by 1'ope, but the celebrated specimen of that tree which stood in

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
the poet's garden at Twickenham, was a cutting from some rods employed in a package which came from
Spain. Pope being present when the package was opened, observed that the pieces of stick appeared as if they
had some vegetation, and added, perhaps they may produce something which we have not in England. Under
this idea he planted it in his garden, and it produced the willow tree that has given birth to so many others:
not as the parent tree ot all the willows in the country, but as an admired and celebrated specimen. S. herbacea

Almost all the willows are of the easiest propagation and culture. Plantations for basket-work or hoops
should be made on deep loamy soil on the banks of rivers, within reach of water, but by no means saturated
with it. Few willows are either bog or marsh plants. The cultivated species require as much attention as

History, Use, Piopagation, Culture,
young trees in a nursery, otherwise they will soon become stunted and of irregular growth. Excellent
directions for their culture may be found in Sang's Planter's Kalendar.
20+3. Cecropia. From xixsayu, to cry out, a sort of translation of the English word trumpet-wood. This
tree has the trunk and branches hollow every where, and sloped from space to space with membranaceous
septas, and answering to so many annual marks in the surface. The leaves are large, peltate, lobed like those
of Carica Papaya, and placed at the ends of the branches. The fruits rise four, five or more, from the very-
top of a common peduncle, and shoot into so many oblong cylindrical berries, composed of a row of little acini,
something like our raspberry, which they resemble in flavor when ripe, and are agreeable to most European
palates on that account. The wood of this tree, when dry, is very apt to take fire by attrition. The native
Indians have taken the hint, and always kindle their fires in the woods by rubbing a piece of it against some

harder wood. The bark is strong and fibrous, and is frequently used for all sorts of cordage. The trunk is
very light, and for that reason much used for bark.logs and fishing-floats. The smaller branches, when cleaned
of the septums, serve for wind instruments. Both trunk and branches yield a great quantity of fixed salt,
which is much used among the French, to despumatc and granulate their sugars. The fruit is much fed
ui>on by pigeons and other birds, and thus the tree is much spread and propagated. {Browne.) It may be in-

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
very common in the northern parts of Europe, in elevated situations, on dry, barren, moorish, or boggy soils.
It is more patient of cold than even the common heath. The Highlanders' children eat the berries, but they
are no very desirable fruit ; and taken in large quantities, are said to bring on a slight head-ache. The Russian
peasants, hovever, eat them, and the Kamtschadales gather great quantities of them to boil with their fish, or
to make a sort of pudding with the bulbs of their lillies. They are esteemed antiscorbutic and diuretic
Grouse and heathcocks feed upon them, and they give the excrement a tinge of purple. Boiled in alum-
water they afford a dark purple dye ; and boiled with fat, they are said to be used in dying otter and sable skins
black. Cattle do not seem to browse on this shrub. The French word Camarine, is an alteration of Cama-
rinhas, the Portuguese name of E album.
■t.%16' willdeno°ia- A rush-like plant, with long flexible slender shoots, named in honor of Charles Louis
Willdenow, a celebrated Prussian botanist, whose edition of Linnaeus's Species Plantarum is not only the best
which has been published in modern days, but excellent in itself.
204'- Restio. From , estis, cord ; the supple shoots of many species are used as withs at the Cape of
Oood Hope. Ihe houses of the Cape of Good Hope are commonly thatched with this plant both in town and
country, and sometimes whole huts are built with it. A roof thatched with it will last twenty or thirty years,
™,?o0Ul ' mi-ch lonBer> lf tne south-east wind did not blow much dirt into it, which causes it to rot.
-W4S. Elegia. Irom i\iya, lamentation, in allusion to the sad or mourning color of the whole plant. A
hard rushy plant, with the habit of a Restio.
2049 Phoenix. The Greek name of the date, and probably so called from Phoenicia, whence the best dates
w«re. brou6ht . Dactylites is the Greek version of Palma, both signifying the hand, to the fingers of
which the ancients likened the bunches of dates. P. dactylifera is a lofty palm, with a rugged trunk, on
account ol the persisting vestiges of the decayed leaves. These leaves, when the tree is grown to a size for
bearing fruit, are six or eight feet long, with pinnae three feet long, and a little more than an inch broad. The
flowers of both sexes come out in very long bunches from the trunk between the leaves, and are covered with
aspatha which opens and withers ; those of the male have six short stamina, with narrow four-cornered
anthers tilled with larina. The female flowers have no stamina, but have a roundish germ, which afterwards
becomes an oval berry, with a thick pulp enclosing a hard oblong stone, with a deep furrow running longitudi-
nally. The fruit of this tree makes a great part of the diet of the inhabitants of Arabia and part of Persia.
In Upper Egypt many families subsist almost entirely upon it They make a conserve of it with sugar ; and
even grind the hard stones in their hand-mills for their camels. In Barbary they turn handsome beads for
paternosters of these stones. The date is said to strengthen the stomach and intestines, to stop looseness, and
promote expectoration, tor which purpose it is given in pectoral decoctions. It is also recommended ia the
piles, given in red wine. From the leaves of the tree they make baskets or bags in Barbary. In Egypt they
make fly-flaps of them, and brushes to clean their sofas or clothes. The hard boughs are used as fences to
their gardens and cages to carry their fowls to market. The trunk is split for the same purposes, and is even
used m small buildings. It serves likewise for firing. The threads of the web-like integument between the

boughs make ropes and the rigging of smaller vessels. The juice of the date tree is procured by cutting off
the head or crown of the more vigorous plant, and scooping the top of the trunk into the shape of a basin ;
where the sap in ascending lodges itself, at the rate of three or four quarts a day, during the first week or
fortnight ; after which, the quantity dailv diminishes, and at the end of six weeks or two months the tree
becomes dry, and serves for timber or firewood. This liquor, which has a more luscious sweetness than honey,
is of the consistence of a thin syrup, but quickly becomes tart and ropy, acquiring an intoxicating quality, and
giving upon distillation an agreeable spirit or araky, which is the general name in the East for all hot liquors
extracted by the alembick. . .
P. farinifera produces black drupes of the size of a large kidney bean ; these the natives or t oromandel eat
as gathered from the bush without any preparation. The leaflets are wrought into mats ; the common petioles
are split into three or four, and used for making ordinary baskets of various kinds ; but they are not so proper
for this purpose as the bamboo. The small trunk, when divested of its leaves, and the strong brown fibrous
web that surrounds the trunk at their insertions, is generally fifteen or eighteen inches long, and six in diameter
at the thickest part ; its exterior or woody part consists of white fibres matted together, winch envelope a
large quantity of farinaceous substance, used as food by the natives in times of scarcity ; but to separate this
from the fibres, the trunk is split into six or eight pieces, then dried, beaten in wooden mortars, and afterwards
sifted: the rest of the preparation consists in boiling the meal into a thick gruel, or, as it is called in India,
congee. It seems to be much less nutritive than sago, and is less palatable . . . . ,K
2050. Stilago. Perhaps so called from the length of the style ; but the name is unexplained by its author.
S. diandra produces an eatable fruit used by the natives, but not esteemed by Europeans. 'Hie species thrive

2(153 Leucadciulron, From tevzos, white, and Soi^ot, a tree, in allusion to the appearance of the most com.
mon species, No. 13,840. The species are evergreen shrubs, with handsome foliage ; they grow in light soil
well drained and not over watered, and are increased by ripened cuttings in sand under a hand-glass
2054. Viscum. From the Latin viscus, clammy, on account of the sticky nature of the berries Gut Fr
Mistl, Ger., and Visco, Ital. This may be considered the only true parasitical plant indigenous to Britain as
at no period of its existence does it derive any nourishment from the soil like Orobanche, or from decayed bark
or wood like certain Fungi, and other epiphytes. The root of the misletoe insinuates its fibres into the
woody substance of the tree ; the shoots are dichotomous, round, smooth, and even • and of a pale green
like the leaves, which are tongue-shaped and entire. The whole forms a pendant bush of from two to five feet
in diameter, evergreen, and in winter covered with small white very glutinous berries. The British species of
mis etoe is commonly found on fruit trees ; but it will grow on various others, as the thorn, oak maple
poplar, lime, ash, &c. ; and m the neighbourhood of Magdebourg it is abundant on Pinus sylvestris. it is not
dimcu t to propagate by inserting the berries in slits in the bark early in spring, and tying a shred of mat over
the slit to protect them from the birds. The Druids sent round their attendant youths with branches of the
misletoe to announce the entrance of the new year ; and something like the same custom is still continued in
trance. In England branches ol it are hung up in most houses at Christmas, along with other evergreens.
The berries are devoured by several birds of the thrush kind, and especially by the Misletoe . Thrush. Bird-
lime is made from the berries, and also from the bark, boiled in water, beaten in a mortar and washed It is.

of a bitter taste, but fragrant like those of the myrtle. Their essential oil rises in distillation. The northern
nations formerly used this plant instead of hops, and it is still in use for that purpose in some of the western
isles and a few places in the Highlands ot Scotland. Unless it be boiled a long time, it is reported to occasion
head-ache. The catkins or cones boiled in water throw up a scum resembling bees' wax, which gathered in
sufficient quantities would make candles. It is used to tan calf-skins. Gathered in the autumn it dy»s wool

yellow, and if used for that purpose both in Sweden and Wales. The Swedes sometimes use a strong decoction
of it to kill bugs and lice, and to cure the itch. The Welsh lay branches of it upon and under their l>e<is to
keep off fleas and moths, and give it as a vermifuge in powder and infusion, applying it also externally to the
abdomen. In most of the Hebrides, as well as in the Highlands of Scotland, an infusion of the leaves is fre-
quently given to children to destroy the worms. In Isla and Jura the inhabitants garnish their dishes with
it, and lay it between their linen and other garments to give them a fine scent, and to drive away moths.
When it grows within reach of a port, the sailors make besoms of it for sweeping their ships. In the isle of
Ely they make faggots with it to heat their ovens. Linnaeus was induced to suspect, from the smell of this
shrub, that camphor might possibly be prepared from it Horses and goats eat ; 6heep and cows refuse it.
M. cerifera may be used for most of the purposes of the former species. Candles are made from the berries
in North America, whence it is called there the tallow shrub or candleberry tree; some also name it the
bayberry-bush. It grows abundantly on a wet soil, and seems to thrive particularly well in the neighbourhood
of the sea, nor does it seem ever to lie found high up in the country. The berries attended for making candles
are gathered late in autumn, and are thrown into a pot of boding water ; their fat melts out. floats at the top of"
the water, and may be skimmed off The fat when congealed looks like tallow or wax, but has a dirty green color ,
it is therefore melted again and refined, by which means it acquires a fine and pretty transparent green color.
It is dearer than common tallow, but chea[>er than wax. They usually mix some tallow with it Candles of
this kind do not easily bend or melt in summer as common candles do ; they burn better and slower, nor do
they cause any smoke, but rather yield an agreeable smell when they are extinguished. At present not many
candles of this kind are used, the animal tallow is readily come at, it being very troublesome to gather the
berries. They are chiefly used by poor people, who live near where the bushes grow, and have not cattle
enough to supply them. A soap is made from the fat which has an agreeable scent, and is excellent for
shaving; and it is used by surgeons for plasters. In Carolina they likewise make sealing-wax from these
berries. The root is accounted a specific in the tooth ache
All the species grow well in peat soil or sandy loam, in a moist situation. They are increased by seeds or
layers, but not readily by cuttings.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2056. Nageia. Nagi is the Japanese name of one of the species. That in the gardens is an uninteresting
shrub with a loose elegant foliage, and a light grey bark. Ripened cuttings strike freely in a bark pit.
2057. Shepherdia. A name given by Nuttall to the Hippnphae canadensis of our gardens, in honor of Mr. .
William Shepherd, the worthy curator of the Liverpool botanic garden. A small inelegant tree, with dark
green deciduous leaves, covered over with brownish silvery scales on the lower side.
2058. Hippophae. An ancient name given to some plant now unknown, which was applied medicinally to
horses ; from (Vrrof, a horse, and <pe.oi, to give light. H. rhamnoides is very prolific in berries, which are yellow
when ripe, succulent, smooth, and gratefully acid to the taste They are much eaten by the Tartars ; and the
fishermen of the Gulph of Bothnia prepare a rob from them, which imparts a grateful flavor to fresh fish.
Every part of the plant will dye yellow. The species grow in common soil, and are readily increased by layers
or cuttings of the roots.
2059. Broussonetia. Named by L'Heritier, in honor of his countryman P. N. V. Broussonet, a well known
naturalist, who travelled in Barbary, and published an Ichthyologia in 1782. This is a vigorous growing shrub
or low tree, with large lobed leaves, variously shaped; the foliage of the male and female plant differing so
much from each other that they might easily be taken for distinct species. The fruit is little larger than peas,
and from the bark the Chinese make paper, and the Otaheitans cloth.
B. papyrifera, though a low tree, produces vigorous shoots, furnished with large leaves. The fruit is little
larger than peas, surrounded with long purple hairs, when ripe changing to a black purple color, and full of
sweet juice. In China and Japan it is cultivated as we do osiers, for the sake of the young shoots, from the
bark of which the inhabitants of the east countries make paper. The bark being separated from the wood is
steeped in water, and the inner bark separated from the outer ; the former making the whitest and best paper.
The bark is next slowly boiled, then washed, and afterwards put on a wooden table and beaten into a pulp.
This pulp being put in water, separates like grains of meal. An infusion of rice and the root of manihot is
next added to it. From the liquor so prepared, the sheets of paper are poured out one by one, and when
pressed, the operation is finished.
The juice of this tree is sufficiently tenacious to be used in China as a glue, in gilding either leather or
paper. The finest and whitest cloth worn by the principal people at Otaheite and in the Sandwich Islands is
made of the bark of this tree. The cloth of the Bread-fruit tree is inferior in whiteness and softness, and
worn chiefly by the common people.
2060. Schafferia. So called after James Christian Scha?ffer, a German naturalist of celebrity, who is best
known by his excellent work on the Fungi of Bavaria, published in 1762. An inelegant shrub with green
flowers.

officinalis abound* in Sici'lv, where it is cultivated for its nuts. The male flowers come out from the side of
the branches in loose bunches, and are of an herbaceous color. The female flowers come out in the same
manner in clusters The male puts forth its flowers first, and some gardeners pluck them whilst yet shut,
dry them and afterwards sprinkle the pollen over the female tree : but the method usually followed in Sicily,
when the frees are far asunder, is to wait till the female buds are o|>en, and then to gather bunches of male
blossoms readv to blow ; these are stuck into a pot of moist mould, and hung upon the female tree till they are
quite dry and empty. This operation is called tuchiararc, and never fails to produce fructification ; sometimes
the gardeners ingraft the male bud upon the female tree.

at the beginning of August, when the weather is very dry, and are continued till the end of September.
Turpentine and mastick are considered as astringent and diuretic; but though they retain a place' in our
Materia Medica, they are not much used by modern practitioners. Mastick is used by the Turkish and
Armenian women as a masticatory for cleaning the teeth and giving an agreeable smell to the breath It is
also employed to rill the cavities of carious teeth. (Tfiom. l.ond. Disp. 444.)

red and acid like the barberry. A decoction of the leaves is reputed to be an antidote against the bite of
serpents, and the bark is used for making ropes. All the species require a rich loamy soil, and ripened cuttings
with their leaves on root in sand in a moist heat.

loamy soil about the end of April : the male plants are generally pulled about the beginning of July, and the
females four or live weeks alter them, when they have ripened their seeds. The plants being tied in bundles,
are watered and bleached, in the same manner as flax ; or they are dried and (tacked without having gone
through this process, and the fibres separated when wanted by the flax. breaking machine of recent invention,
or by steeping in hot water and soli soap. The produce of hemp in tibre varies from three to si\ hundred
weight per acre ; in seed, from eleven to twelve bushels. The fibre produces a cloth stronger than that iroin
flax, and the best of all cordage and ropes. An oil is extracted from the seeds of hemp, which is used in
cookery in Russia, and in this country by painters. The seeds themselves are reckoned a good (bod lot poultry ,
and are sup|x>sed to occasion hens to lay a greater quantity of eggs. Small birds in general are verj loud of
them, but they should be given to caged birds with caution, and mixed with other seeds. A verj lingular
effect is recorded, on very good authority, to have been sometimes produced by feeding bullfinches and goU.-
tinches on hemp-seed alone, or in too great quantity , viz. that of changing the red and yellow on these bird*
to a total blackness. {Ency- of Agr. 5327.)
'-1)74. I tumulus From humus, fresh earth ; the hop grows only in rich soils. Our English word hop, seem*
to be the Anglo-Saxon hoppan, to climb. Lupulus is a contraction of Lupus salictanus, the name by which it
was, according to Pliny, formerly called, because it grew among the willows, to which, by twining round and
choking up, it proved as destructive as the wolf to the flock.
The hop has been cultivated in Europe an unknown length of time for its flowers, which are used for pre-
serving beer. It* culture was introduced from Flanders in the reign of Henry VIII., though indigenous both
in Scotland and Ireland : it is little cultivated in those countries, owing to the humidity of their autumnal
•eason. Like other plants of this sort, the hop hears its flowers on different individuals ; the female plant, there-
fore, is alone cultivated. There are several varieties grown in Kent and Surrey under the names of Fiemilh,
Canterbury, Goldings, &c. ; the first is the most hardy, differing little from the wild or hedge-hop , the Gold-
ings is a very improved and highly productive variety, but more subject to the blight than the other. The hop
prefers a deep loamy soil on a dry bottom ; a sheltered situation exposed to the south or south-west, but at
the same time not so confined as to prevent a free circulation of air. The soil requires to be well pulvenied
and manured previously to planting. In hop districts, the ground is generally trenched cither vi ith the plough
or spade. The mode of planting is generally in rows, six feet apart, and the same distance in the row.
Five, six, or seven plants are generally placed together in a circular form, and at a distance of five or six feet
from each other. The plants or cuttings are procured from the most healthy of the old stools ; each should
have two joints or buds ; from the one which is placed in the ground springs the root, and iroin the other the
stalk. Some plant the cuttings at once where they are to remain, and by others the) are nursed • year in a
garden. An interval crop of beans or cabbages is generally taken the first year. Sometime* no poles are
placeo at the plants till the second year, and then only short one* of five or six feet The third year the hop
generally comes into full bearing, and then from four to six poles from fourteen to sixteen feet In length arc
placed to each hill. The most durable timber for jwles is that of the Spanish chesnut, which is much growu

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
In Kent as coppice wood for that purpose. The after-culture of the hop consists in stirring the soil, and
keeping it free from weeds; in guiding the shoots to the poles, and sometimes tying them for that purpose with
withered rushes ; in eradicating any superfluous shoots which may arise from the root, and in raising a small
heap of earth over the root to prevent any more shoots from arising.
Hops are known to be ready for gathering, when the chaffy capsules acquire a brown color, and a firm con.
sistmice. Each chaffy capsule or leafed calyx contains one seed. Before these are picked, the poles with the
attached stalks are pulled up, and placed horizontally on frames of wood, two or three poles at a time. The
hops are then picked off by women and children. After being carefully separated from the leaves and stalks;
they are dropjicd into a large cloth hung all round withinside the frame on tenter-hooks. When the cloth is
full, the hops are emptied into a large sack, which is carried home, and the hops laid on a kiln to be dried.
This is always done as soon as possible after they are picked, as they are apt to sustain considerable damage,
both in color and flavor, if allowed to remain long in sacks in the green state in which they are pulled. In
very warm weather, and when they are pulled in a moist state, they will often heat in five or six hours : for this
reason the kilns are kept constantly at work, both night and day, from the commencement to the conclusion of
the hop-picking season. The operation of drying hops is not materially different from that of drying malt, and
the kilns are of the same construction. The hops are spread on a hair-clolh, from eight to twelve inches deep,
according as the season is dry or wet, and the hops ripe or immature. When the ends of the hopstalks become
quite shrivelled and dry, they are taken off the kiln and laid on a boarded floor till they become quite cool,
when they are put into bags.
The bagging of hops is thus performed : in the floor of the room where hops are laid to cool, there is a round
nole or trap, equal in size to the mouth of a hop-bag. After tying a handful of hops in each of the lower
corners of a large bag, which serve afterwards tor handles, the mouth of the bag is fixed securely to a strong
hoop, which is made to rest on the edges of the hole or trap ; and the bag itself being then dropped through the
trap, the packer goes into it, when a person who attends for the purpose, puts in the hops in small quantities,
in order to give the packer an opportunity of packing and trampling them as hard as possible. When the bag
is filled, and the hops trampled in so hard as that it will hold no more, it is drawn up, unloosed from the hoop,
aim the Mid sewed up, other two handles having been previously formed in the corners in the manner men-
tioned above. J. he brightest and finest colored hops are put into pockets or fine bagging, and the brown into
coarse or heavy bagging. The former are chiefly used lor brewing fine ales, and the latter by the porter
brewers. But when hops are intended to be kept two or three years, they are put into bags of strong cloth, and
firmly pressed so as to exclude the air.
The stripping and stacking of the poles succeeds to the operation of picking. The shoots or bind being
striped oft, such poles as arc not decayed are set up together in a conical pile of three or four hundred, the
centre of which is tormed by three stout poles bound together a few feet from their tops, and their lower ends
spread out
The produce of no crop is so liable to variation as that of the hop; in a good season an acre will produce 20
cwt. j in a bad season none, or only 2 or 3 cwt. From 10 to 12 cwt. in a season is considered a tolerable average

crop. The quality of hops is estimated by the abundance or scarcity of an unctuous clammy powder which
adheres to them, and by their bright yellow color.
The expences of forming a hop plantation are very great ; but once in bearing, it will continue so for ten or
fifteen years before it requires to be renewed. The hop culture in England, like that of the culture of the vine
in France, is only calculated for cultivators of considerable capital, who can retain the produce from years of
abundance to years of scarcity. It is calculated on an average, that the hop crop fails almost entirely every
fifth year, when the price will rise from two to thirty pounds per cwt. To those who can cultivate and preserve
the hop with a view to such a rise, few crops will be equally profitable.
The hop is peculiarly liable to diseases ; when young it it devoured by fleas of different kinds; at a more
advanced stage it is attacked by the green fly, red" spider, and otter moth, the larva- of which prey oven ui>on it*
roots The honey dew often materially injures the hop crop; and the mould, the tireblast, and other blights
injure it at different times towards the latter periods of the growth of the plants.
The use of hop in brewing is to prevent the beer from becoming sour, and this is the grand pur]>ose for which
it is cultivated. But the young shoots both of the wild and improved hops are eaten early in the spring as
asparagus, and were formerly brought to market for that purpose. The stalk and leaves will dye wool yellow.
From the stalks a strong cloth is made in Sweden, the mode of preparing which is described by Linnaeus in his
Flora Suecica. A decoct, on of the roots is said to be as good a sudorific as Sarsaparilla : and the smell of the
flowers is soporific. During the illness of George the third, in 1787, a pillow filled with hops was used instead
of opiates.

being larger, more porous, and much less compressed. S. Sarsaparilla (zarza, furze, Spanish) has long slendet
roots covered with a wrinkled brown bark, white within, and having a small woody heart. It is inodorous, ami
has a mucilaginous very slightly bitter taste. Medicinally it is demulcent and diuretic. It was brought to ■
Europe about the year 15:X), and introduced as a medicine of great efficacy in the cure of lues venerea ; but it
fell into disrepute and was little used, till it was again brought into esteem by Dr. William Hunter and Sir
William Fordyce, about the middle of the last century ; not, however, as a remedy fitted to cure syphilis,
but of much efficacy in rendering a mercurial course more certain, and after the use of mercury. Fxperience'
however, has not verified the encomiums bestowed on n ; and the extensive observations of Mr. Pearson
have fixed the degree of benefit which is to be expected from this root in syphilitic complaints. The conta-
gious matter and the mineral specific may, he observes, jointly produce, in certain habits of body, a new series
of symptoms, which, strictly speaking, are not venereal, which cannot be cured by mercury, and which are
sometimes more to be dreaded than the simple and natural effects of the venereal virus. Some of the most
formidable of these appearances may be removed by sarsaparilla, the venereal virus still remaining in the
system ; and when the force of the poison has been completely subdued by mercury, the same vegetable is also
capable of freeing the patient from what may be called the sequela? of a mercurial course. Sarsaparilla is aNo
recommended in scrophula, elephantiasis, or cutaneous affections resembling it, and in chronic rheumatism •
but its efficacy is doubtful. (Thorn. Lond. Disp. 505.)
S. China has roots as long as a child's hand, twisted, full of knots, reddish on the outside, flesh-colored
in the heart, and destitute of smell. It is employed both as food and medicine in China, and to foul
hogs in the West Indies. None of the species are of much beauty or worth growing, but as objects of
curiosity.
2082. Tamus. This name was employed by Columella and others, for a plant resembling a vine, and bearing
fruit not unlike grapes ; a description which does not applv badly to the modern plant. T. communis has verv
large tuberous black coated masses attached to its roots. These are so acrid, that the pulp has been formerly
used as a stimulating plaster. The young shoots, however, are so mild as to be good eating when dressed like
asparagus. The Moors eat them boiled with oil and salt. The flowers of the female plant are succeeded by
ovate smooth berries.
2083. Test'tdinaria. So called from the resemblance which the great rugged cracked root of this plant bears
to the shell of a tortoise (lcsludo\ The rootstock is a large fleshy mass, covered with a thick bark cracked
deeply in every direction. The Hottentots in time of scarcity make use of the fleshy inside of the root as a
sort of yam.

born in 1628, died in 1705, and author of many works of the highest reputation. His zoological arrangement
is still regarded with much respect. Twining plants resembling the Yam.
2085. Dioscorea. In memory of Pedacius Dioscorides, a Greek physician, born at Anazarba, in Ciliria. He
is generally believed to have lived under Nero, but this is very uncertain. Abulfarrage makes him to have
flourished under l'tolemaeus Physcon ; but he is not generally credited. D. sativa, Iguame, Ft , and Inhiime,
Portug , has large thick tubers, a foot broad, and palmated like some Orchises. The stalks are slender,
and with the leaves bear some resemblance to black bryony. The yam is largely cultivated tor food in
Africa and the East and West Indies, especially in the latter for the negroes. The roots grow to a great
size, are mealy, and esteemed to be easy of digestion ; they are palatable, and not inferior to any roots now in
use, either for delicacy of flavor or nutriment. They are eaten instead of bread, either roasted on the embers
or boiled ; the flower is also made into bread and puddings. In Otaheite they make a dish, which they esteem
very delicious, from the roots of the yam, with the kernel of the cocoa-nut scra|>ed, and the pulp of the Mu-.i
or Banana. The juice of yam-roots fresh is acrid, and excites an itching on the skin. There are many varie-
ties of these roots, some spreading out like the fingers (Rumph. t. 121.) ; others twisted like a serpent ; Rvmph,
t 122.) ; others again very small, scarcely weighing more than a pound, with a whitish ash-colored bark, whereas
the bark is commonly black. The flesh of the yam is white or purplish, and viscid, but becomes farinaceous
or mealy when dressed.
D. aculeata, by some considered only an improved variety of the sativa, is universally cultivated in the
East and West Indies, in Africa, and in all the islands of the southern ocean within the torrid zone, and even
as far as New Zealand. The tubers are frequently three feet long, and weigh thirty 'poum Is Al! the edible
species and varieties are propagated in foreign countries like the common potatoe, but tliey arrive much
sooner at maturitv. The buds of the roots are not apparent, but still a small piece of skin is left to each set ;
for from this piece of bark alone the shoots proceed. Holes are made in rows two feet apart, and at eighteen
inches distant in the row ; into those holes two or three sets are put, first covered with earth, and then with
a little haulm or rubbish to retain moisture. The only after-culture consists in hoeing up the weeds I hey
are commonly planted in August, and are ripe about the November or December following. When dug up,
the greatest care is taken not to wound them, as that occasions them to sprout much earlier than they other,
wise would do. They should be rubbed over with ashes, and piled regularly on beds or hurdles raised above
the floor, that the air may come easily between them; or, if they be piled in heaps, some ashes should be-
strewed between the layers. None of the species are worth cultivating as ornamental plants ; hut some ol the
edible sorts have been raised in hntlieds in the Paris garden, and being transplanted early into a warm situation,
have produced tubers of a considerable siie.

History, Ute, Propagation, Culture.
2085. Maba. The name given to the plant by the natives of Tonga-Tabu, according to Forster. (ton. 61.)
This shrub or small tree produces edible berries very well tasted. The wood is dark colored, remarkably
hard and durable, and where its size will admit, is employed for such uses as require the most durable, com-
pact, and heavy timber.
2u86. Populwi. In ancient times the public places of Rome were decorated with rows of this tree, whence
it came to be called arbor poputi, as being a tree peculiarly appropriated to the people. But Bullet asserts,
that the Poplar has obtained its name from the constant motion of the leaves, u hich are in a perpetual state of
agitation like the populace. All the species are rapid-growing soft-wooded timber trees, some of which attain
a very great size. P. alba is one of the most valuable of the British species. The leaves of the com-
mon gray poplar are of a blackish-green above, but having a thick white cotton underneath ; they are
about three inches long, on petioles a foot in length. The leaves of the Abele are about double the size, and
divided into three, four, or rive lobes. The leaves of the gray poplar are also larger more deeply lobed, and
the under-side of the leaves and young shoots are covered with a hoary down. The Abele is said to have
been introduced from Flanders, and the hoary poplar to have been originated in this country. The timber is
of great value for all sorts of wooden vessels, especially butchers' trays. It is of quick growth, soft, white,
and stringy, and little subject to swell or shrink. It makes beautiful floors and turners' ware. Some of the
finest Abeles in England are at Hartwell near Aylesbury.
P. tremula is commonly called the asp, fom the German espe, which is the general name for all poplars, is
a rapid-growing tree in almost any soil or sitiation : but the numerous shoots of the roots spread so near the
surface that they will not permit any thing else to grow there. The wood is extremely light, white, smooth, soft,
and durable in the air. It may be used for the same purposes as that of the Abele. The bark is the favorite
food of beavers. On the leaves and leafstalks may sometimes be seen red glandular substances about the size
of a pea, which are the nests of Tipula juniperina. P. nigra has a naked lofty trunk covered with an ash-colored
bark, and a regular handsome head. It is a tree of quick growth, and on the banks of rivers and in in rvt
situations it grows up to a great height in a short time. The bark is light like cork, and is sometimes used
by fishermen to float their nets. The timber is light and soft, fit for the turner and pattenmaker, and excel-
lent for flooring-boards. These boards are much slower in taking fire than those of resinous trees ; they
smoke a long time before they burst into a flame: of course the wood is bad for fuel. Many species of in.
sects are supported by this and the other poplars. The red substance like berries upon the leafstalks of this
species are occasioned by the Aphis Bursonia. The leaves and young shoots are gathered in Sweden and other
parts of Europe during the month of October and dried, to be given as fodder to the sheep in winter. The
practice is as old as the time of the Romans ; who, as well as the modern Italians, planted this tree for their
vines to run on. In Kamchatka the inhabitants are sometimes reduced to the necessity of converting the inner
bark into bread. Schefl'er made paper from the cotton down of the seeds. The buds both of this and the white
pop!ar smell very pleasant early in the spring, and being pressed between the fingers yield a balsamic resinous
substance, which, extracted by spirits of wine, smells like 6torax. A drachm of this tincture in broth is
administered in internal ulcers and excoriations.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
»ffbrds a fine deep blue color, destructible, however, both by acids and alkalies. It has been observed that the
male and female plants are seldom found intermixed, each sort usually growing in large patches : whence it is
probable that this plant, which increases much by the root, rarely produces perfect seeds. M annua was
formerly accounted medicinal ; its seeds taste like those of hemp.
2089. Hydrocharis. From iia,(, water, and Xcc?i;, grace. This little plant is one of the prettiest ornaments
of still waters. This plant increases by runners, which shoot out to a great length, and at the joints drop down
ong roots which penetrate deep into the mud. The joints are furnished with pendulous buds, supported on
long footstalks. The buds consist ot two stipulaceous scales folded together, within which are curiously
enveloped the embryo leaves of the future plant.
2090. Triplaris. All the parts of the fructification are in threes or triple. T. americana is a tree forty feet
high, with a dense pyramidal head. The leaves are oblong, entire, smooth, a span long. The branches are
often hollow, and are then filled with an innumerable quantity of little red ants, which are often showered
down upon any incautious traveller who may stand under the shade of the tree, and whom they bite severely.
(Bredemeyer.) ' '
.-.?f)9u CoPari<': A tanner's plant ; from corium, a hide. Coriaria myrtifolia has handsome leaves, but very
little beauty in the flowers. It .s considerably astringent, and is used not only in tanning leather, but in dying
black colors. It produces abundance of suckers.
2092. Kiggelaria. Named after Francis Kiggelar, an obscure botanist, who lived at the end of the seven-
o",w ccn*t"ry' Anun interesting plant. Ripened cuttings strike in heat under a hand-glass.
2093. Schinus. This was the Greek name of the Pistacia Lentiscus. It is now applied to an American genus
which resembles Pistacia in sensible properties. The word molle, applied to one species, does not allude to any
softness in the plant which bears the name, but is a slight alteration of the Peruvian word mulli. Fragrant
shrubs with beautiful foliage, easily cultivated in a cold conservatory or out of doors in a warm sheltered
place.
2094. Gymnocladus. From yvftvo;, naked, and xXctltt, a shoot, on account of the naked appearance of its
strange rigid shoots during the winter. 1 his tree or shrub has pinnate leaves nearlv a foot and a half long ;
both leaves and stalks are armed with thorns. The stalks at first grow erect, but afterwards twine about the
neighbouring trees and shrubs. It is best propagated by cuttings of the roots

and Miscellaneous Particular!
2095. Carlca. According to Linnaeus, because a native of Caria ; but as the plant has no relation to that
country, it would be better to adopt, with Jussieu, the specific name Papaya for the genus. C. Papaya rues with
a thick soft herbaceous stem to the height of eighteen or twenty feet, naked till within two feet of the top, and
having marks of the fallen leaves great part of iU length. The leaves have long footstalks, are very large, and
divided into many lobes. The whole plant abounds with a milky acrid juice, which is esteemed good for the
ringworm. The 'male flowers, which are in loose clusters on long peduncles, are of a pure white, and have an
agreeable odor. Sometimes these are succeeded by a small fruit about the size of a |>car, which has occasioned
some to suppose the male plant a distinct R|>ecies. The flowers of the female have short peduncles ; they are
large and bell-shaped, composed of six yellow petals. When these drop off, the germ swills to a large fleshy
fruit the size of a small melon. When ripe it is eaten by the inhabitants of the Caribbee Islands, but its flavor
is very indifferent The most common use of them is when they are about half grown, to soak them in salt
water, to get out the milky juice, and pickle them as mangoes, for which they arc considered a good substitute.
The plant generally is said to have the proj>erty of intent-rating animal fibre by suspension under its leaves or
branches ; but this quality wants confirmation. In our stoves the plants grow freely in loamy soil, and are in
Creased by large cuttings with their leaves on in a moist heat.
Straliotes. From rleciTas, a camp; in English, water-soldier ; both names alluding to the military
appearance of the plant, with its long sword-likc leaves, and flowers which may be liked to plumes of white
feathers. An aquatic plant, remaining the greatest part of the year immersed in water, but rising to flower.
It increases with such rapidity as to become a troublesome weed inartificial pieces of water in which it is
2097 Hy<rnanche. From hyama, and a-yxr, pain ; because the fruit is used at the Cape of Good Hope to
poison hyaenas. A small tree, six or seven feet high, also called Toxicodendron capense. The flowers grow
in axillary branched yellowish panicles, and are succeeded by smooth nuts, which, being pounded, are used to
poison the carcases of lambs, by which the hytpnas are infallibly destroyed. „„,™~.„
2098. Euclea From ivxkua, glory or beauty; in allusion to the permanent beauty of the nrat ourgnin
foliage of the plants. Shrubs or small trees, natives of the Cape of Good Hope. Of one species the I
are brought to the market of Cape Town for sale, and is the only kind of native fruit, except that ot I issus
capensis, which is there eaten. Ripened cuttings root in sand under a glass.

2105. HottUra Named by Roxburgh, in honor of the Rev Dr Rottlcr, an East Indian botanist of reputa-
tion, who resided many years at Tranquebar in the character of a Danish missionary. Rottlera tinctoria is a
native of the Inland mountainous parts of the Circars of Hindostan, flowering in the cold season. Dr Hox.
burgh never found it any where else. This is a middle-sized, erect, branching tree Leave* alternate, stalked,
elliptic, oblong, acute, entire, from four to eight inches in length, three-ribbed, and veiny; nearly smooth
above j downy beneath, furnished at their base with two brown glands. Footstalks round, downy, from one to
three inches long. Flowers small, in clusters about the tops <>f the branches, axillary, and terminal ; the latter
branched Capsules the size of a small cherry, clothed with abundance of deep red granular powder, easily
rubbed o(f This powder is a valuable article of commerce, being much esteemed, especially among the Moors,
for dyeing silk of a deep, bright, very beautiful and durable, full orange or flower color. When the capsules
are ripe, in February or March, they are gathered, and the powder carefully brushed off: It is preserved
without any further process, and is sold to the merchants trading to Hydrabad and other inland parts. This
substance is but little acted Upon by water, except with the admixture of alkaline salts, when it elves our
a very deep blood-red color. To spirits it communicates a rich, deep, reddish flame color ; but in noil her in-
stance does it dissolve, the grains remaining entire, like sand. The inhabitants know this powder by the name
of li'tissunta-punria, and use it in the following manner: — To four parts of )i'asstnila.';ritift<i are added one Of
alum, ai d two of salt of soda, native barilla. These are rubbed well together, with a portion of expressed oil
of Sesamum, so small as hardly to he perceived. When well mixed, the whole is put into boiling water, in
quantity proportioned to the silk which is to be dyed, and kept boiling smartly, more or less time, according to
the shade required. The silk is turned frequently, to render the color uniform
2106. CHlfnrtia. Named in honor of George Cliftort, a Dutch gentleman ; a great lover of plants, and one
of the earliest of Linnaeus's natrons. He had a superb garden at Hartcamp, of which Linmcus published the
catalogue in one volume folio, in 1737. Shrubs of little beauty, except C pulchella, which is exceedingly
aetty ; they are easily cultivated in a good greenhouse.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2107. Cycas. A name employed by the ancients to designate a little palm which grew in Ethiopia The
modern plant is analogous to it. This genus, which seems intermediate between palms and ferns produces I he
nutritive granulated uowdercalled sago, from saeu, the name of a sort of bread made from the pith of the
trunk in Tonquin. It is cultivated in China and Japan, and the fruit is eaten in the latter country The tree
however, is chiefly valued for the pith of its trunk, which is full of white pith like that of the elder Tin-
tree being cut down, this pith is beaten with a wooden pestle in a great mortar or trough : it is then strained
and the sediment, without farther preparation, constitutes sago. The native Indians live wholly upon it for three
or tour months in the year. That which is transported is dryed and granulated. In our stoves these plants re-

suffered to decay upon the tree, injured the succeeding crop. The modern genus bears heads of Cowers vcrv
like pine cones. '

palm with plaited tan-like fronds, which from the elongation of the axis and terminal lobe, seems as if pinnate

The other species, L rubra, is a much smaller plant, and is remarkable for its red livid leaves

and ilisccllaneout Particulars.
ndeted ai petal* Mr. Woodward remarks, that the flower does not pro|>erly grow out of the leaf, but on a
pedicel from the bosom of the leaf, which is immersed beneath the outer coat, whence it may with ease be
directed. The female flowers are succeeded by red berries, almost as large as some cherries ; they are sweet
tasted, with two large orange-colored seeds in each. The green shoots were formerly used by butchers for
sweeping their blocks, whence the common English name of the plant It is still made into besoms in Italy.
The tender growths, soon after they have sprung up from the root in spring, have been gathered and eaten by
the poor like tho-e of asparagus ; and the branches, with the ripe fruit on them, were formerly stuck up in
land, with the stalks of lVony and Ins displaying their capsules of ripe seeds ; the three together made a sort
of winter nosegay for rooms. In landscape gardening the plant is valuable as an evergreen, which "ill grow
under the shade and drip of other trees. It harmonizes well with Daphne Laureola, and Ulcx nana, ami
Vaccinium vitis idea. K. hypophyllum has the flowers on the under side of the leaves, which are succeeded
by small red berries about the size of those of Juniper. It racemosus is an elegant evergreen shrub, by some
*up|xised to lie the plant with which the ancients crowned their victors ; but the more general opinion is in
l.vor of Laurua nobilia. All the species are readily increased by suckers from the root.
2112 Araucirin. The inhabitants of Chili call this noble ornament of their forests ataucanut. A. exceba,
the Norfolk Island pine, is a most superb plant, growing loan enormous size, and never losing the bright im-
perishable foliage with which it is covered, as with a coat of mail. This genus, Sweet observe-, " in iv Ik- i< rnu-d
the handsomest genus of plants with which we are acquainted. A. imbricata, in particular, il cert, i in I \ oneol the
grandest plants known. It will thrive well in the open air, with the protection oi a mat or two in very severe
weather, and when got pretty large, will, no doubt, be perfectly hardy. A. excelsa, or Norfolk Island pine, is
also a beautiful tree, but will not do without the protection of a greenhouse. An equal mixture of sandy lou.n
and peat will suit them very well ; and cuttings may lie rooted, though with difficulty, taken oil' at a joint in
ripened wood, and planted in a pot of sand, which must be put under a hand-glass, in the propagating house,
bat not plunged in heat" {Bot. CtUI. p. 1J6.)

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2113. Juniperus. From the Celtic jeneprus, which signifies rough, or rude. Sandarach, the name of a resin
produced by the Juniper, is, according to Golius (p. 1225.), an alteration of the Arabic word sandurohs. The
species, with only one or two exceptions, are close conical-growing evergreen shrubs or trees. The timber of
J. Barbadensis and Bermudiana is imported from the West Indies under the name of Bermudas Cedar. J.
Virginiana grows in the West Indies, the North American continent, and in Japan. It is one of the highest
timber trees in Jamaica, affording very large boards of a reddish brown color, close and firm contexture,
shining, very odoriferous, and bitter to the taste. It is imported into this and various other countries for the
purposes of the cabinet-maker, as it is offensive to most insects. J. communis is common in all the northern
parts of Europe, in fertile or barren soils, on hills or in vallies, in open sandy plains, or in moist and close woods.
On the sides of hills its trunk grows long, but on the tops of rocky mountains and on bogs it is a tutted shrub.
In England it is found chiefly on open downs in a chalky or sandy soil. In Scotland it is found in granite, trap
and schistous hills and mountains ; but not in the highest summits of the latter. In the south of Europe it is on!jr
found in elevated situations ; it abounds in the Alps of Switzerland, but is not very common in the Appenines.
In our shrubberies it forms a respectable looking conical bush, grouping and combining very well with cypresses,
American cedars, and various species of the pine and fir tribe. It is easily transplanted, and bears cropping.
Grass will not grow beneath it, but the A vena Pratensis is said to destroy it. The wood is hard and durable ;
the bark may be made into ropes ; and ardent spirits, impregnated with the essential oil of these berries, forms
the true Juniper water or gin. Various insects feed on this shrub; and it is eaten by horses, sheep, and goats,
when they can get nothing better. A gum oozes spontaneously from the trunk of old plants, which is Sanda.
rach, and in its powdered form is known under the name of pounce. Juniper berries require to remain two
years on the tree before they are fully ripe. The greater quantity of those which are used in Britain, are
brought from Germany, Holland, and Italy. They have a peculiar aromatic odor, and a sweetish, pun-
gent, bitterish taste when chewed. In distillation with water, they yield a volatile terebinthinate oil of a
greenish color, on which their virtues depend. The Havor and diuretic properties of hollands depend on this
oil: it is also supposed to be used for flavoring English gin, but for this purpose oil of turpentine is used.
Mediiinally, Juniper berries are diuretic and cordial. They have been long known as a remedy in hydropic
affections ; but they cannot be depended on alone, although they form an excellent adjunct to foxglove and squilL
The tops yield the same essential oil as the berries, and may therefore be substituted for them. (Thorn. Lond. Disp.)
.1. suecica is by some considered only a variety. J. sabina seldom produces flowers or seeds in our gardens.
Professor Pallas says, that in the Chersonesus Taurica, where it is very common, the savin is often found a foot
and a half diameter ; that it grows upright there, like a cypress, whereas by the Tanais it is procumbent
the branches extending on the sand several fathoms ; that the wood very much resembles that of J. lycia, but
has a more cadaverous smell, and the leaves are more fetid. The leaves and tops of common savin have a
strong, heavy, disagreeable flavor, and a bitter hot taste, with a considerable degree of acrimony. These
qualities depend on an essential oil, which is obtained in considerable quantity by distillation with water. Both
water arid alcohol extract its active principles ; and Lewis found that on inspissating the spirituous tincture.
tV-ere remains an extract consisting of two distinct substances, of which one is yellow, unctuous or oily,
bitterish, and very pungent ; the other black, resinous, tenacious, less pungent, and subastringent. Medicin-
ally, savin is a powerful stimulant, posssesing diaphoretic, emmenagogue, and anthelmintic properties. It has
certainly, however, a considerable effect on the uterine system ; but, on account of its stimulating prcpertiau,
is suited to those cases only of amenorrhea which are 'unattended by fever, and in which the circulation u

languid. In plethoric haoits, its use should be preceded by repeated bleedings; and at all times its internal
exhibition requires caution. It has been given in gout and worm cases also, but is seldom used. As an ex-
ternal local stimulant or escharotic, the dried leaves in powder are applied to warts, flabby ulcers, and carious
bones ; and the expressed juice diluted, or an infusion of the leaves, as a lotion to gangrenous sores, scabies,
ami tinea capitis, or mixed with lard and wax as an issue ointment. [Thorn. ljond. Ditp. p. o42.)
J. Lyeia, which greatly resembles the savin, is commonly thought to produce the gum resin called Oliha-
num; though Dr. Thomson and others consider the Boswcllia Serrata of Roxburgh as the true plant.
Olibanum is supposed to have been the incense used by the ancients in their religious ceremonies ; it is much
employed by the Itoinan Catholics in their churches, and generally as a perfume in sick rooms.
'-'114. Tturus. According to Vossius this word is derived from toco;, an arrow, because that weapon was
formerly poisoned with the juice of the plant. Yew seems to be an alteration of the Celtic MO, green. T. bac-
cata inhabits mountainous woods in Luro|>e, North America, and J pan. Caesar mentions it as very common
in Caul and Germany. In Britain and Ireland there was formerly great abundance in a wild state,
and planted in church-yards. Hay says that our ancestors planted the >ew in church-yards because it
reen tree, as a symbol of that immortality which they hoped and expected for the persons there
deposited. Heme a custom, which still exist- in a few places of Wales and Ireland, of carrying twigs of this
and other evergreen trees in funerals, and throwing thein into the grave with the corpse. According to some,
the yew was planted in church-yards on account of its utility in making hows; but this is by BO means likely,
when the tree was so common in a wild stale, and when a single one would have afforded so very scanty a
supply. The bow was considered an engine of military warfare, at least up to the time of Henry VIII. J so
great was the demand for yew in the days of archery, that our own stock could not supply the demand ; it was
obliged to be imported, and various laws were passed concerning it from the time of Edward IV. to Elizabeth.
The wood of the yew is red and veined, very haul and smooth, used by turners, cabinet-makers, millwrights, and
a variety of other artisans. Flood-gates lor [Minds m.ide of it, are said to be of incredible duration. The tw igs
and leaves ol yew, eaten In a Very Small quantity, are certain death to horses and cows; but deer, it is .-aid,
will crop these trees with impunity, and sheep and goats are said by Linnaeus to eat them. Turkeys, peacocks,
and other poultry and birds eat both the leaves and fruit A few of the berries are not deleterious to the
human species, but the leaves are fktaL The tree is verj patient of the shears, and was much employed In
the ancient style of gardening for verdant architecture and sculpture. Allowed to take its natural shape, and
when advanced to a considerable age, it forma one of handsomest of British evergreens, harmonizing admira-
bly with the holly, the box, and the iunlper. The VOW is generally propagated from seeds, winch arc ether
sown as soon as they are ripe, without clearing them from the pulp, or mixed with sand, and laid in a heap to
be turned over two or three times during the winter, and in spring, the seeds from which the pulp will have
rotted sown in beds of light loamy soil. By either modi-, a part of the plants will come up the hrst season,
and the remainder in that following. The Irish yew is probably a distinct species.
2115. Ephedra. This was a name given by the Greeks to our Equisctum, which the plant now called
Ephedra strongly resembles. E. Distachya abounds in the southern parts of Russia, and from thence south-
) to Persia and India. Tie berries ripen in July and August: they are sweetish, mucatu, andleavea

nature of the former in its foliage, and of the latter in its fruit. The roots of several species are said to have
powerful medicinal qualities. That of the C. pareira, or Pareira brava, is bitter, diuretic, and aperient ; of
C. caapeba more mucilaginous.
2117. Exccecaria. From exctecare, to blind. The juice of this plant is so acrid as to cause loss of sight
whenever it touches the eyes. Agallochum, the produce of one of the species, was the name given by the
the Greeks to an aromatic wood they obtained from India. In Arabia it is called, according to Goliug
dg/idloitdjy.
2118. Adelia. From a, privative, and SyXo;, visible. The parts of fructification are so minute as to be
hardly viable. A. Bernardia derives its name from having been considered a distinct genus, and dedicated to
the celebrated Bernard de Jussieu. Bernardia is the name which ought to have been adopted for the genus.
Ugly uninteresting shrubs.
2119. Loureira. Dedicated by Cavanilles to John de Lourciro, a Portuguese missionary, who travelled in
China and Cochin-china, of which he published the Flora in 1790.
2120. Myristica. From f&u%qx, myrrh, on account of the odor of the fruit. M. mosehata produces spheroidal
diupes, fleshy, smooth, and finally drying up into a coriaceous crust, and opening on one side. Each berry
contains an ovate, globular, serrated nut. The arillus or cover, which is commonly called mace, is fleshy,
coriaceous, and reddish-saffron colored. Under this are two shells, the outer thin and brittle, and reticulated
by the impressions of the mace : the inner shell is membranaceous, and adheres very closely to the kernel.
The fruit would be a drupe was it not for the arillus.
The nutmeg-tree yields three crops annually ; the first in April, which is the best; the second in August,
and the third in December; yet the fruit requires nine months to ripen it. When it is gathered, the outer
coriaceous covering is first stripped off, and then the mace carefully separated and dried in the sun. The
nutmegs in the shell are next exposed to heat and smoke for three months, then broken, and the kernels
thrown into a strong mixture of lime and water; after which they are cleaned and packed up. This process
is necessary for their preservation, and with the same intention the mace is sprinkled with salt water. There
are several varieties of the tree ; but that denominated the queen nutmeg, which bears a small round nut, is
the best. They are imported in chests, which contain each from 100 to 1401bs. weight ; the mace comes in chests
also of diflerent sues. The essential oil which is obtained in Banda by the distillation of the nut is brought

in bottles, and the expressed oil in stone jars. Nutmegs are frequently punctured and boiled in order to ob.
tain the essential oil, and the orifices afterwards closed with powdered sassafras. The fraud is detected by the
lightness of the nutmeg. The nutmeg lias a fragrant, agreeable, spicy odor, and a warm aromatic taste.
As the medical pro|>erties of nutmeg and mace depend on the essential oil they contain, they agree in these
circumstances; and both are stimulant, carminative, and, in large doses, narcotic. Mace is more generally
used as a culinary spice; but the nutmeg and its volatile oil are in frequent use to cover the disagreeable taste
of other medicines, and are sometimes ordered in cases of languor, vomiting, and diarrhuea, and in Batulent
colic. On account of the narcotic property of the oil, nutmeg should be cautiously employed in apoplectic and
paralytic habits. In India its dangerous effects have been frequently felt; and in this country instances have
occurred in which the nutmeg, taken in large quantity, produced drowsiness, great stupor, and insensibility,
and on awakening delirium, which alternated with sleep for several hours. (Tlmm. Land. Disp. p. 396.)
M. fatua is a branching lofty tree; the branches long, tortuous and declining; the leafy and flowering
branches downy and ferruginous ; and the flowers in axillary and terminal clusters. The fruit varies in size
and form on different trees ; but is generally oblong, and about as long as a pigeon's egg. From the kernel is
extracted a species of yellowish suet or fat, which serves for various medical and economical purposes, and is
made into candles. From the wounded bark flows a red acrid juice. The plants are at present rare in British
collci tions : they grow in light loam and peat, and may be increased by cuttings m sand under a bell-glass.
8121. Nepenthe*. The name under which Homer s|ieaks of a substance, which appears to have 1 ecu opium.
It is impossible to conceive in what sense the word has been applied to the plants now bearing the name. They
are the famous pitcher-plants of China and the East Indies, which heir leaves, the extremities of which are
hollowed out into cup-like appendages, which are generally filled with water, which seems as if confined
within them by a little lid, by which the pitchers are surmounted. The cultivation of the plants is extremely
difficult It requires a very damp atmosphere, much heat, and perhaps, not much light. They are managed
more successfully by I-oddiges of Hackney, than by any cultivators in this country.

botany at Leyden. He published, in h>.;t, a little tract upon the Cocoa-nut of the Maldives, which he called
nuxmcdica. The sixties are of little beauty or interest, and of the easiest propagation and culture.

Class XXIII. — POLYGAMIA.
Flowers cither male, female, or hermaphrodite, upon the same or different plants.
This class differs from the two preceding in having not only the sexes in different flowers upon the same in-
dividual as in Moncecia, or upon separate individuals as in Dioecia, but also combined in one flower, mixed
among those which are unisexual. It may, therefore, be considered to contain those genera which are in a
state of transition from the common hermaphrodite structure to absolute unisexuality.
To the first of its orders are referred several grasses, which are excluded from the early classes on account
of the separation of their sexes ; it also contains the numerous tribe of Mimosas, so well known for their
various properties as objects of food, of ornament, of medicine, or of curiosity. The maple is also stationed
in the first class, as are a few genera of palms.
The most important genera of the second class, besides the poetical Palmetto, are the ash and the fig.
Gleditschia and Ceratonia, two families of Leguminosse, are valuable, the former for its light, airy, elegant
foliage, and the latter for its sweet pods, which are used in Spain, in great quantities, as fodder for cattle

History, Use, propagation, Culture,
2123. Inga. This is an American name adopted by Marcgraaf. A fine genus of plants, remarkable for their
beautiful foliage and flowers ; but in cultivation they seldom blossom. I. purpurea is a remarkably elegant
plant, and so is Inga biglobosa. I. unguis. Cati, the Cat's claw, Mimosa, is so called from the form of its curved
spines. All the species require the greatest heat of the bark stove; they increase very slowly by cuttings.
2124. Mimosa. Said to be derived from pifuif, a buffoon, because the leaves of the sensitive species appear
as if to play with the hand that touches them.
The cause of the well known motion in the leaves of (he sensitive plant, has been the subject of many
ingenious explanations ; but it has not been treated by any botanist with so much ingenuity and address as by
Dr. Dutrochet, whose theory we give, as explained by Mr. Lindley in the Botanical Register. M. Dutrochet
states, that having ascertained hot nitric acid to possess the power of separating and reducing to its simplest
form the whole mass of vegetable tissue, and that the action of the same acid produced other effects equally
advantageous for the examination of the most obscure parts of vegetable structure, he was induced to give his
attention to that of the Mimosa pudica, in the hope of gaining some evidence respecting the cause to which
its sensibility is to be ascribed. Beginning with the pith, he observed a considerable number of minute glo-
bules of a greenish color, intermingled among the cells, and adhering to them in an irregular manner. After
attempting to shew the probability of these globules having deceived M. Mirbel in various points of his
analysis of vegetation, and especially in regard to the pores, which that botanist supposes to exist in the cellular
tissue of plants, Dr. Dutrochet proceeds to remark, that the application of hot nitric acid to these globules
renders them perfecily opaque, whence he concludes, that thev are, in fact, minute cells filled with a particular
fluid, which is subject to become concrete by the application of acids. Now, it is known, that such fluids as
are thus altered by acids, are usually dissolved and liquefied again by the application of alkalies. A few drops,
therefore, of a solution of hydrate of potash were suffered to fall upon a portion of the pith on which
nitric acid had been acting, and the mixture was exposed to the heat of a lamp. Being examined after a few
minutes, the globules were found to have resumed their natural appearance. This curious fact indicated,
in the opinion of Dr. Dutrochet, a strong and unexpected point of analogy between plants and animals.
According to the microscopical researches of some modern observers, it has been ascertained that all the
organs of animals are composed of a conglomeration of minute corpuscles, similar to those just described ; the
corpuscles which constitute the muscles are soluble in acids, but those which compose the nervous svstcm are
insoluble in the same acids, and only soluble in alkalies Now, as the chemicai properties and the external
appearance of the p3rlicles scattered among the cellular tissue of plants, and constituting the nervous system
of animals, are the same, tno author is induced to infer, that the spherical particles of plants are, in fact, the

scattered elements of their nervous system. This hypothesis receives additional strength from the great
similarity which exists between the medullary substance of the brain of Mollusca Gastcro|K>da and the cellular
medullary tissue of plants. In pursuit of this idea, Dr. Dutrochet made a variety of experiments upon the
sensitive plant, the results of which seem to be these. — The principal point of locomotion, or of mobility, exists
in the little swelling which is situated at the base of the common and partial petioles of the leaves ; this
swelling is composed of a very delicate cellular tissue, in which is found an immense number of nervous
corpuscles ; the axis of the swelling is formed of a little fascicle of tubular vessels. It was ascertained by
some delicate experiments, that the power of movement, or of contraction and expansion, exists in the
parenchyma and cellular tissue of the swell. ng, and that the central fibres have no specific action connected
with the motion. It also api>cared that the energy of the nervous powers of the leaf depended whoilv upon
an abundance of sap, and that a diminution of that fluid occasioned an extreme diminution of the sensibility
of the leaves. Prosecuting his remarks yet further, the author ascertained, that in the motion of the sensitive
plant, two distinct actions take place, the one of locomotion, which is the consequence of direct violence
offered to the leaves, and which occurs in the swellings already spoken of ; the other of nervimotion, which
depends upon some stimulus applied t<i the suriaie of the leaflets, unaccompanied by actual violence, such as
the solar r.iys concentrated in the focus of a lens. As in all cases, the bending or folding of the leaves evidently
takes place from one leaf to another with perfect continuity; it may safely be inferred, that the invisible
nervous action takes place in a direct line from the |>oint of original irritation, and that the cause by which
this action of nervimotion is produced, must be some internal uninterrupted agency. This was, alter much
curious investigation, determined I y the author to exist neither in the pith, nor in the bark, nor even in the
cellular ti.-Mie tilled with nervous corpuscles, and on which, he supposes, the locomotion of the swilling at the
bate of petioles to depend. It is in the ligneous part of the central system, in certain tubes supplied with nervous
corpuscles, and serving for the transmission of the sap, that Dr. Dutrochet believes he has found the n
of nervimotion, which he attributes to the agency of the sap alone, while he considers the power ot locomotion
to depend upon the nervous corpuscles alone.
Some of the species ni>en seed ; others may be increased by cuttings from the points of the young shoots
planted in sand and kept closely covered.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
3126. Desmantiius. From Zurftr,, a bond, and av&os, a flower, on account of the fascicles of flowers, which
seem as if bound up together. These plants are chiefly aquatic ; a few are prickly; and they all have the
habit of Mimosa. D. natans is used in China as a pot-herb ; and is described by Loureiro, under the name of
Neptunia oleracea. Willdenow, the author of the genus, observes, that the neuter florets have always a
different color from that of the hermaphrodites, whence the spikes appear parti-colored, by which character
the genus may be known at a distance. Culture as in Mimosa. D. natans should be grown in water.
2127. Acacia. This was the Greek name of some plant of the present genus, and not being appropriated,
was taken by Willdenow, in his reformation of the old genus Mimosa, as the designation of one of his new
divisions. This is one of the most ornamental families of the greenhouse plants, and some are curious as well
as beautiful. A. Julibrissin, the Gul ebruschim, or rose of silk of the Persians, and the Gazia of Italian gar-
deners, is an elegant hardy tree with beautiful tufts of pink colored flowers, which resemble tassels of silken
threads.
A. Catechu and vera are used in medicine. The inner wood of the former tree is of a brown color, from
which the catechu is thus prepared. "After felling the trees, the manufacturer carefully cuts off all the
exlerior white part of the wood. The interior colored part is cut into chips, with which he fills a narrow-
mouthed unglazed earthen pot, pouring water upon them until he sees it among the upper chips ; and when

this is half evaporated by l>oiling, the decoction, without straining, is poured into a flat earthen pot, boiled to

of the sun, stirring it -c\ en] timea in the day ; and when it is reduced to a Considerable thickness, it is spread
upon a mat or cloth, which has previously been covered with the ashes of cowdung. The mass is lastly
divided into square or quadrangular pieces by a string, and completely dried by turning them in the aim, until
they are lit for sale. This extract, when first introdued as a medicine into Europe, was named Terra Japonica,
from the supposition that it came from Japan and was an earth."
Medicinally catechu is one of the most valuable of the vegetable astringents ; and as the dark colored con-
tains the greater quantity of tannin, on which its astringency depends, it is to be preferred for medicinal use.
It is employed with the Deal elicits in dysentery anil diarrhu-a, when the use of astringents is admissible; in
alvine and uterine haemorrhages, leucorrhcea, gleet, and in obstinate catarrhal affections. A» a local astrin-
gent, it is used in sponginess of the gums, and aphthous ulcerations of the mouth and fauces, and we have
found the slow solution of a small piece of it in the mouth, a certain remedy for the troublesome i
induced by a relaxed uvula hanging into and irritating the glottis. Ur. Paris recommends it as a dentifrice,
especially w hen the gums are spongy.
A. vera produces the gum arable of the shops. The tree is found in almost every part of Africa, but those

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
which yield the gum which is exported from Barbary to Great Britain, grow principally in the Atlas moun-
tains. It is a hard withered looking low tree, with a crooked stem, and a grey bark. The gum exudes
naturally trom the bark of the trunk and the branches, in a soft, nearly fluid state, and hardens in the air
without losing its transparency. It is collected about the middle of December. It has a faint smell when first
stowed in the warehouses, and is heard to crack spontaneously for many weeks.
Medicinally gum exerts no action on the living system, but is a simple demulcent, serving to lubricate
abraded surfaces, and involve acrid matters in the primae via;. In the solid form it is scarcely ever given,
unless to sheath the fauces, and allay the tickling irritation which occasions the cough in catarrh and phthisis
pulmonalis; in which cases a piece of it is allowed to dissolve slowly in the mouth. It is chiefly used in a state
of mucilage.
According to Sweet, all the species of Acacia are of easy culture. Those of the hothouse he recommends
to be grown in loam and peat. " Cuttings," he says, " of most kinds will strike root. From the strongest growing
Kinds, take off large cuttings at a joint, and plunge them in a pot of sand under a hand-glass in the bark-bed.

and Miscellaneous Particulars.
Of the smaller kinds take younger cuttings, and put them under a bell-glass, also plunged in heat. The sooner
the plants are potted off after they are rooted the better. If they stay too long, the sand injures their riots :
they should be kept under a close glass, and shaded for a few days after potting oft", and exposed to the air by
degrees." [.BoL Cult. 11.)
The greenhouse species are particularly valuable as flowering for the most part in winter, or early in spring ;
they are very hardy and gTow freely in loam, peat, and sand well drained. Cuttings of most kinds, Sweet
observes, will root pretty freely, taken off in the young wood and planted in sand, under a bell-glass, and
plunged in a little bottom heat. The kinds that do not root readily from cuttings may be increased by taking
off roots, as large pieces as can be spared, and planting them in the same kind of soil as the old plants, when
they should be plunged under a hand-glass in a little bottom heat Most of the kinds might be propagated by
that means. (Bot. Cult. 126.)

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
extremely acrid and poisonous. It is used in medicine, and its properties are found to depend on veratrine,
the same alkaline principle which is the active ingredient of colchicum. Medicinally it is violently cathartic
and sternutatory. When taken internally, even in moderate doses, its operation is violent and dangerous ;
producing besides hypercatharsis, with bloody stools and excessive vomiting, great anxiety, tremors, vertigo,
syncope, sinking of the pulse, cold sweats, and convulsions, terminating, if the dose be large, in death. Its
external application to an ulcerated surface also produces griping and purging. Notwithstanding these effects,
Veratrum has been exhibited internally, and with advantage, in mania, epilepsis, scabies, lepra, and obstinate
herpetic eruptions. But the most ordinary use of white hellebore is as a local stimulant. When taken in-
ternally as a poison, the best antidote is a strong infusion of nut-galls. (Thorn. Lond. Disp. p. 545.)
V. nigrum is very nearly allied to album, but differs in color, and seems not to be so strong and acrid in its
qualities ; for when both sorts are placed near each other, snails will entirely devour the leaves of this species,
when they will scarcely touch those of the other.
2129. Andro/iogon. From av^, a man, and wyw, a beard. A hyperbolical comparison of the little tuft of
hairs upon the flower to the beard of a man. A. schxnanthus has an agreeable smell, with a warm, bitterish,
not unpleasant taste. It was formerly brought over from Turkey in bundles about a foot long, and kept in the
shops to be employed as a stomachic and deobstruent, but it is now little used. All the species are of the
easiest culture.
2130. Chloris. Derived from xXaS°s-> green, on account of the color of its herbage. Pretty little grasses,
with beautiful one-sided spikes of silky flowers.
2131. Sorghum. Sorghi is the Indian name, according to Bauhin. S. vulgare, grand millet, Fr., Saggena
or Sorgo, Ital., and alcandia, Span., is much cultivated in Arabia and most parts of Asia Minor. It has
been introduced into Italy, Spain, Switzerland, and some parts of Germany ; also into China, Cochin-
China, and the West Indies, where it grows commonly five or six feet high or more, and being esteemed a
hearty food for labourers, is called Negroe Guinea corn. Its long awns or bristles defend it from the birds.
In England, the autumns are seldom dry and warm enough to ripen the seeds well in the field. In Arabia it is
called Dora or Durra. The flour is very white, and they make good bread of it, or rather cakes, about two
inches in thickness. The bread which they make of it in some parts of Italy is dark and coarse. In Tuscany
it is used chiefly for feeding poultry and pigeons ; sometimes for kine, swine, and horses. Brooms are made
of the spikes, which are also sent to this country for the same purpose. The Indian millet, as well
as the common sort (Panicum), is cultivated in some parts of North America, and has been tried in this
country, but it is only in the warmest autumns that it ripens its seeds. It might probably, however, be
acclimated.

C132 Holcus. From i\x*, to extiact. It was a popular notion among the ancients, that the leaves of the
Plant they called Holcus, which seems to have been a grass of some kind, had the property of extracting thorns

The iKst mode of banishing this weed from light arable lands, is to collect the roots with the fork alter the
P H?Unatus has a fibrous root, and' grows on all soils from the richest to the poorest, but attains to the highest
degree of luxuriance on light moist i>caty soils. Cattle prefer almost any Other grass to this; it is seen in
pastures with full grown perfect leaves, while the grasses that surround it are (Topped to the roots. Its nutri-
tive matter consists entire!) of mucilage and sugar ; « hue the nutritive matters of grasses most liked by cattle
are either sub-acid or saline. Mr. Sinclair luggests, that tins grass might probably be made more palatable to
cattle, bv being sprinkled over with salt Hurt (ir.un. ltJ4.)

2134. JEgilops. From cul "■•■yos, a goat, and <njV, the eye. The ancients believed that the plant they named
iEgilops had the power of curing a disease of one corner of the eye, which seems to have been what we call '
Fistula lachrymalis. The iEgilops ovata is a common Sicilian grass ; when ripe, it is gathered by the peasantry,
who tye the heads up in bunches, and set them on fire ; they burn with rapidity, and so give the grains a slight
roasting, which are then considered agreeable food.
2135. Manisuris. Said to be so called, from umvoc, relaxed, and vg«, tail, or, in botanical langnage, a head of
grass ; because the spikes are loose, and not compact A curious little plant remarkable for its wrinkled
grains.
2136. Valantia. Miserable weeds of no beauty or use ; called by their present name by Linnaeus in refer-
ence to Sebastian Vaillant, a learned and excellent French botanist, who died in 1722. The author of the
name would have employed his time better in considering the botanical writings of Vaillant, than in
identifying with the most worthless part of vegetation an author whose merits he was not able to understand.
No man was more given to sneers of this kind than Linnaeus; and yet his followers manifest a most extra-
ordinary degree of sensitiveness whenever he is retorted upon in a similar way ; although few ever deserved
criticism in some things in a higher degree than himself.
2137. Parietaria. From paries, a wall. Weeds which are commonly found upon old walls, or rubbish heaps.
P. officinalis presents some curious anomalies in its inflorescence and fructification. To obtain a perfect idea of

the manner in which this is carried on, the flowers should be examined at a very early period of their expan-
sion. The manner in which the stamens shed their pollen is curious. The filaments on their first appearance
all bend inwards ; as soon as the pollen is arrived at a proper state to be discharged, the warmth of the sun, or
the least touch from the point of a (.in will make them instantly fly back, and discharge a little cloud of dust.
This process is beat seen in a morning, when the sun shines on a plant in July or August : if the plant be large,
numbers will be seen exploding at the same instant. Mr. Curtis remarks, that the same degree of cold ithirty-
one Fahrenheit which strips the mulberry of its leaves, will destroy the herbage of Panetana. The ashes of
the plant are said to contain a considerable quantity of nitre.

beries, A. portulacoidcs requires to lie planted on a poor gravelly soil ; in its native state it prefers the sea-
shore and salt marshes. A. hortensis, sometimes called mountain spinach, was formerly cultivated as a
culinary hero, and is still grown to a considerable extent in the neighbourhood of Pari*, and the leave*
gathered as spinach. There are several varieties more or less tinged with red or purple. The leaves of all the

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2140. Terminalia. Because the leaves grow in bunches at the termination of the branches. The species
grow in loam and peat, and ripened cuttings, with tiieir leaves on, will root in sand closely covered.
2141. Fusanus. The ancient name of the Euonymus. This plant resembles it in foliage. A little Cape
shrub, formerly included in Thesium.
2142. Brabejuni; From £%a£uov, a sceptre. The elegant racemes of splendid flowers may well be compared
to a sceptre.
2143. Acer. A Latin word signifying vigorous or sharp. The wood was formerly manufactured into the
heads of pikes and other weapons. The species consist of trees, most of them yielding a saccharine juice from
the trunk, branches, and leaves. A. Pseudo-Platanus, Plane tree, Scot, grows wdd in Switzerland, Germany,
Austria, and Italy. It is remarkably hardy, and will grow with an erect stem, exposed to the highest winds,
or to the sea-breeze. It is in leaf by the middle of April ; and on their first appearance the leaves are of a
pleasant green, but they exude a clammy juice so abundantly, that they attract a variety of insects, which
soon perforate and disfigure them. The flowers of none of the species are of any beauty. The shade of the
tree is said to do less damage to pasture than most trees. The timber was formerly much used by the turner,
and is still in repute by the saddle-tree maker and the millwright In spring and autumn, if the trunk be
pierced, it yields abundance of juice, from which a good wine may be made, or sugar to a certain extent pro-
cured by evaporation. A. riibrum grows in swamps in Pennsylvania, where the natives use it for almost all
sorts of wood-work ; with the bark they dye a dark blue, and make a good black ink. The Canadians tap the
tree for the juice, of which they make sugar and treacle. The scarlet flowers of this species come out in
spring before the leaves ; they are without petals, and have not more than six stamens.
A saccharinum bears a considerable resemblance to A. platanoides, especially when young. From this
tree, and probably also from other species, the inhabitants of North America make a very good sort of sugar.
The trees are tapped in February, March, and April, during warm days and frosty nights. The incision is
made with an axe or auger, or about two inches deep. A spout of sumach or elder is introduced, through
which the sap flows, from four to six weeks, into a trough, whence it is carried daily to a larger receiver ;
from which it is conveyed after being strained to the boiler. The boiling and refining process is or should be
carried on in the same manner with that for the cane sugar in the West Indies. A tree of an ordinary size
yields in a good season from twenty to thirty gallons of sap, from which are made from five to six pounds of
granulated sugar.
A. platanoides grows on the mountains of the northern counties of Europe, descending in some places of

Norway to the sea-shore. It abounds in the north of Poland and Lithuania, and is common through Ger-
many, Switzerland, and Savoy. On a tolerable soil it attains a large size, and the leaves being smooth and of
a shining green, as large or larger than those of the sycamore, and being seldom eaten or defaced, because the
tree abounds in a sharp milky juice disliked by insects, they have a much better appearance than those of
Hie sycamore ; and in the spring, when the flowers are out, which are of a fine yellow color, this tree has great
beauty. Hanbury observes, that in the autumn the leaves die to a golden yellow color, which produces a
good effect at that season, when the different tints of the decaying vegetable world are displayed. He says
further, that it is a quick growing tree., arrives at a great bulk, and is one of the best trees for sheltering
habitations. Linnaeus recommends it for sheltering walks and plantations; as yielding a juice from which
sugar may be made, if it be wounded in the winter; and as cutting out into a white smooth wood, fit for the
stocks of guns, the joiner and the turner. Dr. Hunter observes, that it is a quick grower, arrives at a great
bulk, and answers all the purposes of the sycamore ; the raising it for use, as well as ornament and variety,
should not be neglected. (Mill. Gard. Diet.)
A. striatum has a slender stem, with a smooth bark beautifully varied with green and white stripes, the
boughs of a shining red in winter. The thickness of the shade, the beauty of the bark, and the tree not being
liable to insects, render it very desirable for ornamental plantations; the only objections to it are, that it is
subject to be injured by storms, and that the abundance of its foliage and seeds occasions a great litter in
autumn.
A. campestre forms a very picturesque little tree, and the timber is said to be far superior to that of the
beech or the sycamore for the purposes of the turner. It is also frequently substituted for that of the lully
and box by the mathematical instrument maker.
A. Opalus is a noble tree, with large and beautiful foliage, throwing an extensive shade ; it is much prized
in Italy for planting by avenues and public walks. All the species arc easily raised from seed, though the ash-
leaved and some other species are occasionally propagated by layers and cuttings; the cuttings should be cut
off at a joint, and, as in the case of most hardy trees and shrubs, they succeed best when planted in the amumn
in a sheltered situation in the open ground.
2144. Kepinrfium. A genus obviously distinguished from Acer by its pinnated leaves. A fine ornamental
tree, called in North America black ash. There is another species in China.
2145. Cctti*. One of the names anciently given to the Ixttus. Tournefort first applied the name to the
aiodern genus, which may be said to resemble both in fruit and foliage the shrubby Lotus of the ancients,

History, Use, frupugatioii. Culture,
C. australis, sometimes called the lote tree, is reckoned among the largest timber trees of the south of Europe,
The wood is one of the hardest we are acquainted with ; it is also very tough and flexible. In France, the
forked branches are peeled, and cut so as to resemble rude hay-forks, and in that state used for various agricul-
tural purposes. The leaves have a cheerful light green color ; the berries are the size of a small cherry, fust
yellow and then black ; they are eaten by birds and children.
C. occidentalis bears a great resemblance to the first. The leaves come out late in the spring, but they are
also the latest in fading of any of the deciduous sort ; the timber is tough and pliable, and imported by coach-
makers for the frames of their carriages. It grows more freely in this country than the European species, and
in some years bears abundance of fruit.
C. orientalis is a low-spreading tree or bush ; the timber is white, and yields a gum like that of the cherry.
C. aculeata is an inelegant little tree, with a drupe double the size of a pea, which is eaten by the natives of
the Caribbee Islands and the neighbouring continent All the species are easily increased by layers or
seeds.
2146. Gouania. Antoine Gouan was professor of botany at Montpellier in the middle of the eighteenth
century, and was a good botanist. The species are increased by ripened cuttings under a hand-glass in
heat.
2147. Hermas. A name, the meaning of which is wholly unknown. An inconspicuous starved-looking
plant of no known use ; whence it is called depauperata.
2148. Bridelia. Named in honor of Professor Bridel, the celebrated muscologist. Small bushes or trees, with
little beauty to recommend them.
2149. Feronia. Elegantly named by the classical Correa de Serra, after Feronia, the goddess of the forest*.
This is a noble Indian timber tree, bearing a fruit not unlike an orange, to which it is botanically related.
2150. Ailantus. Derived from Ai/anto, the name of one species in the Moluccas. The usual way of writing
it, Ailanthus, is therefore incorrect. A. glandulosa is a tree which may be compared to a gigantic stag's-horn
■umach ; it has very large leaves, unequally pinnate, with foot-stalks from one to two feet in length, and numer-
ous flowers in a terminating pedicel, which exhale a disagreeable odor. The tree grows very fast, and on very
poor soil, especially if it be calcareous. If the bark be wounded, a resinous juice flows out, which hardens
in a few days. The wood is hard, heavy, glossy like satin, and susceptible of a very fine polish. It is pro-
pagated by cuttings of the roots. In general the trees bear only male flowers ; but in France it has produced
both male and female flowers, and fruit twice in ten years.
2151. Clusia. So called, in honor of the celebrated Charles de l'Ecluse, born at Artois in 1526, and died in
1609. He was one of the most excellent botanists who ever lived, and author of many works whose value
will only cease with the world. But he is not more known for his mental excellence, than for his personal
calamities. In his early youth he undertook to travel through Portugal, Spain, England, Hungary, and other
countries in pursuit of plants ; no easy task in those days. By excessive fatigue he contracted, so soon as in
his twenty-fourth year, a dropsical complaint, of which he was afterwards cured with chicory by the celebrated

and Miscellaneous Particulars.
Hondelet. See Rondeletia. At the age of thirty-nine he broke his right arm, during one of his botanical
rambles ; and a short time afterwards his right thigh. When fifty-five, he dislocated his left ancle while at
Vienna ; and eight years after his right hip. Having been unskilfully treated, he was ever after obliged to
walk with crutches The consequent deprivation of his natural exercise brought on other diseases, among
not the least distressing of which were calculus and hernia. After having been the director of the Imperial
Gardens of Vienna for fourteen years, he finally returned to his native country, Flanders. He was named
professor of botany at Leyden, where he gave botanical lectures for sixteen years, when he died overwhelmed
by the multitude of his bodily infirmities, but retaining his faculties unimpaired to the last
The species are trees abounding in a tenacious glutinous juice, of a balsamic flavor, whence the English
name. C. rosea has handsome flowers, in which the stamina and pistillum are covered with a gelatinous gluten.
The fruit is green and of the size of a middling apple, with eight lines running, like meridians on a globe, from
the stalk to the crown of it- When it ripens, it opens at these lines, and divides into eight parts, disclosing
many mucilaginous scarlet seeds, resembling those of the pomegranate. The whole tree is exceedingly
beautiful, and the structure of the fruit is a most exquisite piece of mechanism. It grows on rocks, and fre-
quently on the trunk and limbs of trees, occasioned by birds scattering or voiding the seeds, which being
glutinous, like those of the misletoe, take root in the same manner; but the roots not finding sufficient nutri-
ment, spread on the surface of the tree till they find a decayed hole, or other lodgment, wherein is some small
portion of soil ; the fertility of this being exhausted, a root is discharged out of the hole till it reaches the
ground, where it fixes itself, and the stem becomes a large tree. Roots have been known to do this at forty
feet from the surface. The resin is used to cure sores in horses, and instead of tallow for boats.
C. alba is an elegant tree, and epiphytical on other vast trees, like the foregoing ; the trunk is frequently a
foot in diameter, and supports a spreading head. The whole abounds in a balsamic juice, of a green color,
but becoming of a brownish color on being exposed to the air. The flowers are white, and of no great beauty ;
the fruit scarlet, with a scarlet pulp; the birds are very fond of them, hang over them on the wing, and pluck
out the seeds with the pulp adhering.
t". flava bears in all respects a considerable resemblance to the former. A very good idea of the progress of
culture since Miller's time, may be formed by comparing his directions for propagating this plant, and those of
•Sweet. Mr. Miller says, the best way is to have them brought over in tubs from the West Indies : accord-
ing to Sweet, the pots should be well drained, the soil for rooted plants should be a light sandy loam, and
" cuttings root ver> freely in sand under a hand-glass."
2152. Ophioxylon. From tta, serpent, and {i/>.ov, wood. In Ceylon they employ the plant in cases of the
bite of serpents. It grows freely in a mixture of loam and peat, and may be increased by cuttings in sand
under a hand-glass.
2153. Rhapis. So named by Loureiro, from (*f«, a needle, on account of the acute awns of the corolla,
which stick into the clothes. Culture as in the other palms; that is, abundance of heat and room, both for
the roots and top.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2154. ChanuErops. Thil word is said by etymologists to be synonymous with xa/Miih%u6, or ^ac^a/Joan^,
a dwarf oak. The modern genus consists* of ornamental palms, which are fine hardy greenhouse
plants.
2155. Gleditschia. Called in honor of John Gottlieb Gleditsch, a native of Leipzig, and member of the
academy of Berlin, and the author of several works, among which his Arrangement of Fungi, published in
1753, and his Botanical System, are the most remarkable. G. triacanthos, the honey locust of North America,
attains the size of a large tree, but very seldom flowers and ripens its seeds in this country. All the species
grow in common garden soil, and are generally raised from seeds.
2156. Ceratonia. This name has been derived from »£{«,-, a horn, in allusion to the long horn-like pods of
this plant, which contain a sweet fcecula, for the sake of which they are often imported from Spain under the
name of the Atgaroba bean. This last word is a slight alteration, by the prefix of the article al, of the Arabic
name of the tree, Kharroitb, whence also our English name Carob-tree. This is generally considered the
locust-tree of scripture ; and in Spain, where the seeds are eaten, it is called Saint John's bread. Ignorance of
eastern manners and natural history, Professor Martin observes, induced some persons to fancy that the
locusts on which John the Baptist fed, were the tender shoots of plants, and that the wild honey was the
pulp of the pod of the Carob, whence it had the name of Saint John's bread. There is better reason' to
suppose, he adds, that the shells of the carob pod might be the husks which the prodigal son desired to partake

of with the swine. The tree is Tery common in the south of Spain, and the seeds or beans, as they were there
called, often formed the principal food of the British cavalry horses during the war of 1811 and 1812. In our
greenhouses the plant seldom flowers, but it grows very well in loam and peat, arid ripened cuttings root in
sand under a hand-glass.
2157. Fraxinus. The origin of this word is far from certain. Linnsus says, it has been taken from the
Greek £{«£/«-, a separation, in allusion to the facility of splitting its wood. De Theis remarks, that M. A.
Dureau de la Malle has proved, in a learned dissertation published in 1804, that the Fraxinus of the I-atins
and the Melia of the Greeks are our Ornus europaeus, while the Ornus of the Latins and the Boumelia of the
(ireeks are, in fact, our Fraxinus excelsior, or common ash. he Frene, Fr., Eschc, tier., and Frassino, Ital.
The English name is from the Celtic arse, a pike. F. excelsior is one of the most useful of our native timber
trees. It is peculiarly adapted for implements of husbandry, and the coachmaker and wheeler ; it makes
excellent fuel, with very little smoke; good ho|>-poles and hoops, excellent handles for tools, and very good
walking-sticks. Its period of leafing is very late, being seldom earlier than the last week of April, and not
unfrequently about the middle of May : the leaves have been used to adulterate tea ; they are bitter, and said
to communicate a rank taste to the milk and butter of cows which eat them. The roots spread to a great
extent, and lie very near the surface ; and these, together with the shade of the head, are found very injurious
to hedges and pastures. The variety of this species, F. pendula, was first discovered in a field at Gamuiiugay,

in Cambridgeshire. There are other varieties with curled leaves, striped leaves, variegated bark, &c. and
some consider F. simphcilolia only a variety. F. Americana is a lofty tree, in few respects different from the
common ash. 1 hose species which do not produce seeds, are readily increased by grafting.
Little is known or the qualities of the greater part of the numerous varieties of American ash, distinguished
by Bosc They probably all form fine trees; the young plants in our gardens grow freely, and exhibit indi.

2160. Myrsim: A Greek word synonymous with Myrtle. Modern botanists have applied the name to a
genus of African myrtle-like shrubs. The species grow freely in loam and peat, and are increased by young
cuttings in sand under a hand-glass.
2161. Syssa. A name of a nymph, according to Linnaeus. The species are large shrubs, which grow freely
in any soil or situation, but prefer moisture. N. denticulata grows naturally in wet swamps in Carolina and
Florida, and rises there to the height of eighty or hundred feet. Marshall, in his American Grove, describe*
it as a tree of great singularity and beauty. It produces fruit about the size and shape of small olives, which
are preserved like them by the French inhabitants of the Mississipi, where it greatly abounds, and is called the
olive-tree The timber is white and soft when unseasoned, but light and compact when dry, which renders it
very proper for the carver and turner. All the species are readily propagated by layers or seeds.

gummifera is a large tree with a fine leafy head, and abounds in copious watery balsamic fluid, which soon
becomes inspissated by exposure to the air. The root is said to possess the same properties as Quassia.
Hedges are made of it by the Spanish residents in South America, who call it Aimacigo.
2165. Arctopus. Literally, boar's foot, cc^xtu an;. An inconspicuous prickly umbelliferous plant The roots
are used with success at the Cape, in cases of siphilis ; but upon trial here §ome years since, they were found
to be less elhcient than Saraaparilla.

quinquetolium is a native of Chinese Tartary, and also of North America. In the former country it has been
gathered as an invaluable drug from time immemorial. The roots, which are said to bear some resemblance to
the human form, are gathered and dried, and enter into almost every medicine used by the Tartars and
Chinese. Osbeck says, that he never looked into the apothecaries' shops, but they were always selling Ginseng,
that both poor people and those of the highest rank made use of it, and that they boil half an ounce in their

the south of Europe. In these countries the fruit green and dried forms an important part of the food
of the inhabitants. In this country it is cultivated as a fruit tree, but not generally or extensively.
It is only in very warm situations that it will ripen its fruit in the open air, even though trained against
a wall ; though there are one or two exceptions in Sussex on the sea-coast, where it ripens its fruit on stand-
ards. The only certain mode, however, is to grow it in houses built on pur|X>se. No tree is more robust or
more prolific. Even plants in pots or tubs kept in a temperature adapted for the orange-tree will fruit
freely, and ripen two crops a year. Kept in the temperature of the pine-apple, Mr. Knight has proved, that
the fig will go on growing and ripening fruit without intermission. A variety of curious and important
matter respecting this tree will be found in the Transactions of the Horticultural Society, and in the Encylo-
Class XXIV. — CRYPTOGAMIA.
Sexual organs hidden ; either imperfect, or not existing.
This class differs essentially from all the preceding in the peculiar conformation of the organs of reproduc-
tion, which are not formed of male and female parts, like those of the higher classes of plants, but are of a nature
altogether different, consisting either of buds under a particular form, or of vessels containing vegetable sub-
stances analogous to seeds, but differing in not being the result of impregnation, and in having the power of
striking root indifferently from any point of their surface. The internal composition of these vegetable sub-
stances, which are denominated sporules, is, on account of their extreme minuteness, unknown. Willdenow
describes Cryptogamous plants to be vegetables without any visible flower, and differing from other plants in
their external characters, in which respect they also differ from each other. By more modern botanists they
are said to be distinguished from other plants by the absence of lymphatic vessels, and of pores of the epider-
mis ; but the latter character has been disputed, and neither apply to the three first orders of Crypto-
gamia. For the purposes of this work, which follows the system of Linnaeus, the definition, if it can be so
called, of Willdenow is most applicable. In the arrangement of the orders of Cryptogamia, it has been found
advisable to adhere to the divisions of modern writers, who, by extensive observations, and great powers of
perception, have brought this most abstruse part of botany to a considerable degree of perfection.
The orders which are here adopted, are
I. Filices. Reproductive organs uniform. Thecal naked, or covered by an involucre, placed on the back
of a frond, which is either foliaceous, or contracted in such a way as only to cover the clusters of thecae, and
always circinate when young.
II. Eqiisetace*. Reproductive organs uniform, in terminal spikes, composed of peltate, several-sided scales,
producing on their under surface 4-7 elongated involucres containing the seeds. Branches whorled, rigid.
III. LvcoponiNEiE. Reproductive organs axillary, sometimes apparently spiked. Theca?? of two kinds,
the one containing granules, the other larger bodies. Stems covered with many small leaves.
IV. Maasileace.*. Reproductive organs radical, uniform. Sporules ? contained in roundish, one or many-
celled indehiscent heads. Plants simple, aquatic.
V. Mrsci. Reproductive organs of two kinds. Thecae many-seeded, solitary, furnished with an operculum
and columella. Plants leafy.
VI. Hepatic*. Reproductive organs of two kinds. 1st. Thecae without an operculum, either naked or
sessile, or furnished with a veil, through which they are, more or less, protruded. Sporules naked, or mixed
with spiral threads. 2d. Minute, roundish, or oblong bodies variously situated. Plants frondose, of a cellular
structure, not submersed.
VII. Alg.k. Reproductive organs of two kinds. 1st. Thecas or tubercles variously situated. 2d. Sporules
or granules naked, or immersed in the frond. Plants always aquatic, and submersed.
VIII. Lichenes. Reproductive organs uniform. Sporules deposited in receptacles of various forms, dis-
tinct in substance from the thallus, which is either pulverulent, crustaceous, "membranous, foliaceous, or
branched and shrub-like.
IX. Fungi. Reproductive organs uniform. Sporules arranged in tubular cells, placed in some part of the
external surface. Substance various, mostly thick and fleshy, sometimes vesicular. Thallus none.
A few other divisions, such as Hypoxyla, &c, which have been proposed by some writers of authority, net
having appeared to possess characters of sufficient importance, are here merged in others.
In consequence of the wide difference which exists between the lower orders of vegetables and the higher,
ami the impossibility of subjecting the former to cultivation, it has been found requisite, with the exceptioa

alterations commence with Musci.
The orders of Cryptogamia being equal in importance to the classes of flowering plants, they will be treated
of as the classes have hitherto been treated. Each order will, therefore, stand by itself, and will have it*
genera and species arranged under it, without immediate connection with anv other order.
FILICES.
Reproductive organs uniform Theca naked, or having an involucre placed on the back of a frond, which is either
foliaceous, or contracted so as only to cover the clusters of theae, and always circinate w/ien young.
This is the most beautiful of all the orders of Crvptogamic plants, and has always been a favorite tribe, to
which the most celebrated botanists of all modern times have given their attention. Till some time, however,
after the death of I.inna-us, ferns shared the fate of all other departments of botany, being viewed rather as ob-
jects of elegant form than of scientific examination. Sir James Edward Smith was the first author who
attempted to distribute them into genera, by characters derived from a minute inspection of their organs of re-
production ; and his arrangement, however imperfect it rnav now lie considered, is certainly that upon the
principles of which the morepreci.se divisions of recent authors have been effected. He was succeeded by
Swartz, Willdenow, Drown, and many others, and lastly by Dr. George Frederick Kaulfnss, Professor of
Botany at Halle, whose arrangement of 1824 is chiefly here adopted as being the most recent which has been
published.
The principal distinction which exists between fems and other orders of Crvptogamous plan's is found in the
situation of what are called their sori, or patches of reproductive organs, which are in all cases inserted upon
the back surface of the leaf, or, as it is called in ferns, the frond, sometimes appearing only in the form of little
spots, sometimes covering the whole of the under side of the frond, and sometimes contracting the substance
of the frond, so as to give it the appearance of a single mass of fructification, bunting in a determinate
manner, as in Ophioglossum, Sehizrca, &c. Besides this character, the fronds are alwavs rolled up in a circin-
ate manner when tiny are (ir»t developed.
That part of the frond which occupies the place of the petiole of a compound leaf is called the raehis. The
groups of theca; forming the organs of reproduction are called sori (u\ which are either naked or covered with an
involucrum, or, as it is more frequently termed, indusium. It) This latter organ, when present, either bursts out-
wardly towards the margin of the frond, or inwardly towards the midrib or raehis. It may also be either single
or double ; the latter term signifying, that there is a cover on each side the sorus. The bodies winch arc called

case they are termed Exannulatce (d). They contain the minute powdery matter, which is that by which ferns
are reproduced ; the constituent parts of this matter are called sporu/es [e), and are analogous to seeds in
more perfect plants.

in the proper places. We will here take occasion to remark, that the cultivation of ferns is nearly the same in
all cases, and that the soil best adapted for their growth is light peaty earth with a little loam. They are
propagated by division of the roots, or by seeds or sporules. The latter plan has been practised at Liverpool,

then to be kept in a pan always half full of water, and set in a shady part of the stove or hot-house, being
always regularly watered as above directed. When the young plants" have acquired their second leaf, it is
proper to g.ve them a little air, by placing a small piece of wood under the edge of the glass, at one side. In a
short time afterwards the glass may entirely be removed."
The vegetation of ferns appears to be less tardy than botanists have supposed. Specimens of Gymnogramma
tartareum having been brought from Jamaica to Liverpool, on the tenth of July 1817, a few seeds were brushed
off them and sown immediately. Several plants thus obtained perfected seeds by the fifth of August 1818,
which being committed to the earth, had produced young plants, covering the surface like a fine moss, by tlie
eighth of September following. Specimens of Pteris cretica, and another marked Pteris acrostichoides, from Wil-
liam Jackson Hooker, Esq., afforded seeds which have vegetated and produced very fine plants of both species.
Dr. William Carey sent from Serampore specimens of Polypodium giganteum, and what appears to be a new
Diplazium. These reached Liverpool, July the tenth 1818 ; their seeds being immediately sown, had produced
young plants by the eighth of September. A small fern from Sicily, with several others of this tribe, collected
in the Brazils by William Swainson, Jun., Esq., allorded ripe tei'ds, which being sown in the spring of 1818, had
partly vegetated, and in September had produced Polypodum decumanum, as well as Gymnogramma calome-
lanos. Mr. Shepherd obtained two plants of the latter from seeds brushed from the specimens in the Herba.
rium of Dr. John Reinhold Forster, now belonging to the botanic garden at Liverpool, and perhaps fifty years
old. He made the experiments on other ferns in that collection, but without success, which, indeed, is not
wonderful.
The seeds of this order of plants are of cuurse liable to damage from damp or other accidents, like those of
plants in general. It seems, moreover, that they are very soon shed by the bursting of their capsules, so that

they are more likely to be found in such specimens as are just beginning to turn brou n in their fructification,
than in others more advanced.
2169. Acrostichum. Said to be formed from the words axfot Fix*, the commencement of a verse, and to
nave been so called because the reverse of their leaves indicates traces of lines, resembling the beginning of
lines of poetry. These are fine, chiefly tropical, ferns, one of which, A. aureuin, sometimes grows to the
height of five or six feet
2170. Hemionitis. Said by Dinscorides to be so called from the resemblance of its nature to that of a mule,
%,ut*»; ; it was always considered sterile, tearing neither flowers nor fruit.
2171. Gymnogramma. Named by Dcsvaux from ■yuft.to;, naked, and ■y'x.u.fjM, writing, in allusion to the
disposition of the naked sori upon the forked veins of the frond, whence thev seem to resemble Roman letters.
The species have been separated from Hi-minnitis and Acrostichum.
2172. Meniscium. From u.r,ir„ the moon ; thi; sori are crescent-shaped. These ferns are remarkable for the
arrangement of their veins The little veins which unite the transverse veins of the sterile frond are usually
at right angles, and generally united with each other by a little branch which sets off from one or other of
their angles. In the fertile fronds the veins on which the sori are olaced are either curved or straight.
2173. Xipltopteris. Divided from tirammitis ov Kaultuss, wno seems to have named it from &;«<, a sword,
and a~n«i/{, a fern, on account of the sword-like form of their fronds.
2174. Ceterach. The name employed by the Arabian and Persian physicians for this plant waa Chethcrak.
(Gazoph. Ling. Pers. p. 377.) They employed the plant in otatructions of the viscera, for the jaundice, and
for disorders of the spleen.
2175. Polypmlhim. From roXui, manv, and -rut to?*,-, a foot, on account of the multitude of the roots whVfa
form close entangled patches. Many of the species of this (jenus are noble plants. They are mostly epipnytic

History, Use, Propagation, Cu/ture,
upon trees. Polypodium vulgare is sometimes burnt for the sake of its ashes, which contain a large proportion
of carbonate of potash, which is employed in the fusion of flint for some kinds of glass-ware.
2176. Tcenitis. Prom the resemblance of the interrupted line of sori to the ttenia or tape-worm.
2177. Nothochlcena. From vo&o;, spurious, and ^Xa/vos, a cloak. So called because the sori are not enclosed
in a genuine indusium, but are frequently covered over by the paleas of the frond. A genus extracted by Mr.
Robert Brown from the ancient Acrostichum.
2178. Onoclea. A name given by Dioscorides, Pliny, and Galen, to a Boragineous plant, and strangely applied
by the moderns to a genus of ferns. O. sensibilis has been so called from the delicacy of its frond, which is so
impatient of injury as to perish with almost the least violence.
2179. Struthiopteris. Named from ir7{ou3-o?, an ostrich, and rneii, a fern, on account of the similarity
between its fine fronds and the feathers of an ostrich. A genus divided from Osmunda by Willdenow.
2180. Allosorus. From ccXXo;, various, and sorus ; a name contrived by Bernhardi, in a paper printed in Schrader's
Journal, we presume in allusion to the different states of the sori at different periods. A curious little rock plant.
2181. Ellobocarpus. Named by Kaulfuss, from iMofiot, enclosed in a pod, and nitjw, fruit, in allusion t/i
the j\od-!ike form of the divisons of the fronds on which the sori are placed.

2182. Lomarta. From Xuua, an edge, on account of the marginal position of the indusia. These are fine
plants, resembling Acrostichum in habit.
2183. Itlcchnum. One of the Greek names of the fern was £>.tx'». Athena?us writes it p\ax*ov, and denves
it from i>.a:, powerless, insipid.
•Jlsl. WoodxuarSa, Named bj Sir James Smith, after his friend Thomas Jcnkinsnn Woodward, Esq., a good
practical English botanist One ol the species produces little hairy bulbs at the axilla1 of the leaves, which
either fall oft' and strike root in the ground, or vegetate while attached to the parent plant. This propertj is
common to many other ferns, and in one instance, the young plants so produced have been mistaken in Pteris
eomuta for paraiites by an acute cryptogamic botanist.
Voodia. So called in honor of Samuel Doody, a London apothecary, who was almost the first investi-
gator of Mntish cryptogamic plants. Small rough-leaved ferns of rigid texture.
AsjUinium. From a, privative, and <r-r>r», the spleen. This plant was formerly held to be a
sovereign remedy for all diseases of this organ, and to be so |«owcrful as even to destroy it If employed in
excess.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2194. Adiantum. From a&uunt, dry. In vain you plunge the Adiantum in water, says Pliny, it always
remains dry. The prettiest of all ferns, on account of the delicate slender stalks on which the pinnules are
balanced in the air ; one species on this account is called Capillus Veneris, or in English, Maiden's Hair.
219a. Ciieilanthes. From ££/*«, a lip, and *v.1os, a flower, in allusion to the lip-like form of the indusium.
Pretty plants, formerly referred to Pteris.
2196. Davallia. Named by Sir James Smith, after his friend M. Davall, a Swiss botanist, who sent him large
collections of plants. D. canadensis is popularly called the hare's-foot fern, on account of the peculiar form
of its rootstock, which curves over the side of the pot in which it grows, and, being covered with close brown
hairs, resembles very perfectly the foot of a hare.
2197. Dicksonia. In honor of the late Mr. James Dickson, a celebrated British cryptogamic botanist. A
noble genus containing several arborescent species, among which the tree-fern of St. Helena is placed. This

History, Use, Propagation, Culture
is often brought in a fresh state to the markets of Macao, as an article of medicine, no plants have ever reached
this country alive. Its name has arisen from the resemblance which its brown hairy rootstalk bears to a little
rufous dog couching ; and the belief in its animal nature has been confirmed by the color of the juice, which
is of a rich blood color, and soon becoming thick by exposure to the air. It is needless to add, that the stories
about no plant being able to grow near it are mere fables. Ksempfer says, that borannck is the name which
the people on the borders of the Caspian Sea give to a kind of sheep of that country.
2200. Woodsia. Small ferns formerly referred to Polypodium, Aspidium, and Nephrodium, by various
writers ; and distinguished from all these by Mr. Brown, who named the genus after Mr. Joseph Woods, an
ingenious British botanist
2201 Cyathea. From xua-B-e;, a cup ; on account of the cup-shaped form of the indusia. A fine vropical
genus of ferns, which does not appear to have been well understood by its author, who confounds it with little
British plants referred by all other botanists to Aspidium. Nearly all the species are arborescent, and arrive
at the greatest height of which ferns are susceptible. C. glauca forms a lofty tree in the Island of Bourbon,
and C. speciosa and excelsa are not less than twenty.four feet in height.
2202. Trichomanes. From 3-£<| -reixos, hair, and fxavia,, excess. The Greeks gave this name to the plant
now called Ai-plcnium trichomanoides, on account of its fine shining stems, which resemble hairs. Elegant
plant! with almost transparent foliage.

2203. Hymenophyllum. From uum, a membrane, and fvkXov, a leaf, in allusion to the tenuity of the foli ige.
This and the last are the most elegant of all ferns ; they generally grow in damp shady places among moss,
and have hitherto refused cultivation under any plan which has been devised.
2204. Todea. Named after Tode, an experienced mycologist, author of Fungi Mecklenburgensis. Mr. Browu
unites this genus to Osmunda, but Kaulfuss keeps them distinct.
! Osmunda. A word said to be of northern origin, and to have received its name on account of its
potential qualities in medicine. Osmundcr was one of the names of Thor, a Celtic divinity, and tmind, in
Anglo-Saxon, is expressive of force or power. These are noble species of hardy ferns. O. regalis is the tincst
of all our native species.
2206. I.ygodium. From >jjy<x, a band. The species are elegant twining plants, which bind together the
grass or small shrubs near which they chance to grow. L palmatum, although a North American plant,
must have the protection of a good frame.
) Anemia. F'rom a<uu&r, naked ; in allusion to the naked spikes of inflorescence; whence some authors
write the word Aneimia.
2208. lMrychium. Derived from f}or(v;, a bunch, on account of the bunch-like form of its fructifieUion.
Botrychlum virginicum is the largest of the American kinds, and is called the rattlesnake fern, from the
circumstance of its generally growing where these venomous reptiles are usually found.

EQUISETACEJE.
Order 2.
Reproductive organs uniform, in terminal spikes, composed of peltate, several-sided scales, producing on their
under surface 4-7 -elongated involucres containing the seeds. Branches whorted, rigid.
This order contains one genus only, which is among the most puzzling of all the anomalous formations which
are so frequently met with among the lower orders of vegetation. Both the stems and branches are regularly
articulated, and arise from a tubular sheath. There are no leaves, and the reproductive organs are arranged in
a terminal spike [b), on all sides of which are inserted many peltate scales {a) with several sides or angles. Several1
wedge-shaped hollow bodies project from the surface of these scales, and bursting inwardly, discharge their
contents, which are not yet well understood. They consist of a number of green roundish bodies, surrounded
by minute granules, and furnished at the base with four elastic filaments (c), thickened at their apex. I!y some
observers the granules have been considered pollen, the filaments stamens, and the green bodies ovaries ; by
others the granules have been called naked seeds ; by Kaulfuss the wedge-shaped hollow bodies are considered
capsules, and the green bodies, seeds. It is probable that none of these theories are true.

LYCOPODINEiE.
Reproductive organs axillary, sometimes apparently spiked. Thecce ? of two kinds, the one containing minute
granules, the other larger bodies. Stems covered with many small leaves.
The reproductive organs of these plants are always axillary, the apparently spiked arrangement which they
occasionally present being caused by the partial abortion ot the leaves, at the base of which they are seated.
The thecae(a)? the nature of which is very doubtful, and which have accordingly been called by different writers
capsules, conceptacula, and cocci, are formed of from one to three valves, and of a similar number of cells, and
contain either a mass of minute powdery granules, or some corpuscles of a larger size. The nature and
properties of both these are uncertain. Decandolle imagines that one may be the means of fertilizing the
other.

resemblance the roots bear to a wolf's foot. Selago is an ancient word applied to some succulent plant, and
derived, according to De Theis, from the Celtic set, sight, and jach, salutary, as being useful for complaints in
the eyes. From the same root set, was formed sclma, the name of Fingal's hall, which in modem language
would be cabV.d Belle-vue. The species are neat little evergreen moss-like herbaceous plants, some of which
are found in all parts of the world. L. helveticum is a pretty prostrate plant, with small bright green leaves ;
for the beauty of which it is often cultivated in hothouses on the edge of the aquarium, or in pots set in
pans of water. L. Phlegmaria is a fine species round in various parts of the East Indies, but hitherto a stranger
to our gardens. It is a parasite upon the trunks of trees, whence it hangs down in tufts from six inches to a

Reproductive organs radical, uniform. Sporules contained in roundish one or many-celled indehiscent heads.
Plants simple, aquatic.
Very few plants are found in this order. Their vegetation is various ; they are at most a few inches high,
and are more or less aquatic. In lsoetes the leaves resemble those of a young rush. The organs of repro-
duction are always near the root, and are variable, and their nature is by no means understood. In Pilularia (a)
it consists of a roundish head, divided internally into 1-4-cells, each cell containing small bodies of two kinds.
In lsoetes (6) the fructification is even less known and understood.
2214. lsoetes. Head membranous, not opening, immersed in the base of the frond, 1-celled. Sporules

Reproductive organs of 2 kinds. Theca many-seeded, solitary, furnished with an operculum and columella.
Plants leafy.
Mosses are distinguished from all other similar plants, by the peculiar nature of the reproductive organs, which
are of two kinds. The principal and the most obvious is a theca (a, b), which is furnished with an oiierculum or
lid (c), by means of which the sporules are retained in the theca, and a columella, or central axis, to which they
are attached The other consist of minute spherical pedicellated organs, concealed in the axils of some of the
leaves, and called anthers by Hedwig. The theca is either entire, or split into four valves, as in Andre.-ra ;
when in a very young state it is enclosed in an indusium, which is torn asunder as the theca is elongated, and
being carried up with it, remains upon the summit of the theca in the form of a little extinguisher called

it is tcrmeil mil riform (e). The orifice of the theca, when the operculum is removed, is either covered bra simple
membrane, or by various processes called the peristome [f), either annular, or in the form of teeth, and arranged
in a tingle nr double row. Theae processes vary in number, and ill the manner of their division ; from filch
difference! excellent characters fat the genera have been obtained.
The minute attention which mosses have received in modem times has brought tlieir arrangement to a
clegree of perfection unknown in other Cryptogamic orders. This has been effected by the labor of Hooker,
GreviUe, and Brown in our own country, and of Medwig, Swartz, Bridel, Scnwaegricben, l'alisot de Ileauvois,
N-vs von Esenbeck, and Ilornschuch abroad. The arrangement of the two last authors is chiefly adopted
here from their excellent Bryoiogia Germanic*.
With this order, the alteration in the form of our page, of which we have already s|K>ken, commencos. The
columns indicating the habit, habitation in the garden, propagation, and soil, are necessarily omitted ; and their
place i» anpplied by a more extended layinfiir dutraeter, ana more detailed references to plates. The heights
indicated are to be understood as in inches, and not as feet ; and the colors as the general color of the plant
In the figures it has been aJso found necessary to represent the plants in many cases much magnified ; when-
ever this baa taken place, the figures which are larger than nature are distinguished by a » affixed to their
number. The popular synonyms of this and the fUCCeeding orders have licen rendered as complete as potable)

2420. Hymenostomum. From C/^r,t, a membrane, and r«,u>, a mouth. This genus differs from the last in
having a membrane stretched across the orifice of the theca, a character first discovered by Mr. Brown.
Minute planU, with the habit of Gymnostomum.
2221. Tetraphis. The peculiar character of this genus is to have four teeth (Ttr;at, four). The lid in the
only known species of this genus is remarkably thin and scariose in texture, and the teeth are reticulated, no!
striated as ill most mosses. The calyptra is striated or furrowed ; the leaves are rigid.

the points. A curious genus, first established by Swartz, in Schradcr's Journal. The British species approaches in
habit to BartramU fontana. It is quite an alpine plant, not growing in Switzerland at a lower elevation tlian 7 or
8000 feel. With us it inhabits the summits of the highest Scotch mountains,particularly in the Iireadalbane district.
2233. Orthotrichum. From »»£«*, straight, and J9-{i{ T(ixf, hair, on account of the straight, not twisted
direction of the teeth of the peristome. No genus can be more natural than this, notwithstanding some
variations in the peristome of some of the species from the ordinary structure. Thus O. decipicnsan-.l anonialuin
have no ciliary processes; and O. striatum has them of a peculiar shape and beaded appearance. Many of the
plants referred to this genus are common occupants of the aged trunks of trees, where they vegetate among
the soft earth which collects in the clefts of the dead bark. O. Lyellii, which is the finest of our apaciea, It
only found on trees in the New Forest.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2234. Zygodon. From Zwyot, a yoke, and ohm, a tooth, and so called, we presume, in allusion to the yoking
together by pairs of the outer teeth ; but the name is unexplained by its authors. A singular plant, which was
referred to Bryum by Dickson, and to Mnium by Smith. The stems grow in a tufted manner like Gymnos-
tomum viridissimum, but rarely exceed half an inch in length. The peristome is double ; the outer consist-
ing of sixteen short obtuse teeth approaching in pairs, which at length become recurved; inner of as many
alternate cilia? lying horizontally over the mouth of the theca.
2235. Diphyscium. From hi;, twice, and tpvtrxtm, a vesicle, in allusion to the double nature of the shell ot
the theca. A little plant found in woods, and on rucks in alpine situations. The stems are exceedingly short,
and grow in densely matted patches. The theca is large, ovate, gibbous, and oblique. Dr. Hooker denies the
existence of a double peristome, while Hornschuch asserts its presence.
223a Buxbaumia. A very singular plant, destitute of apparent leaves, and resembling a minute fungus
rather than a moss. It was named in honor of John Christian Buxbaum, a German botanist, who published,
in 1728, an account of the plants of Asia Minor in five centuria? of figures of little merit. This plant was
originally discovered in the vicinity of Astrachan, afterwards in a fir-wood near Norwich, and lately in
two stations in Scotland. Its minute size and want of foliage may have caused it to be overlooked.
2237. Funaria. From funis, a rope, in allusion to the twisted nature of the strongly hvgrometrical fruit-
stalk. This genus, though sufficiently characterized by the interior teeth or cilia? being oblique and placed

opposite to those of the outer, is further remarkable in these teeth lying horizontally over the mouth of the
theca. In the male flowers of Hedwig, the succulent filaments are remarkably clavate, jointed, pellucid, the
joints containing greenish granules. Funaria hibernica has been found only on the roof of a thatched cottage
at Blarney, near Cork, Ireland. The long flexuose fruitstalk of F. hygrometrica, one of the commonest of
mosses in almost every situation, possesses strong hygrometrical qualities.
2238. Bartramia. So called in honor of John Bartram, an Anglo-American, to whose researches in North
America the gardens of F.urnpe owe many of their finest trees, lie had a son William, who published in
1773, an account of a journey in the interior of North America. This is an elegant genus of mosses, remark-
able for their fine capillary light green leaves, and spherical capsules. The genus approaches nearly to Bryum,
but differs in almost every species having a spherical capsule ; and the sixteen broad segments of the inner
peristome, instead of being entire or only perforated, are cleft like the teeth of a Dicranuui.
9 I't'hlia. Named in honor of I. E. Fohl, a German botanist Small plants, often refcred to Bryum,
with which they entirely agree in habit.
9940. Bryum. One of the ancient Greek names of moss. These are all dwarf plants producing capsules in
abundance, and generally found growing in wet places. In B. palustre are found terminal capitular bodies,
which much resemble what arc nailed toe anthers of B. androgynum ; but in B. palustre they air fnmillaWMl

rally covered by a very hairy calyptra : this organ is in some species smooth, by which character they ha»e been
distinguished by the accurate Ehrhart, under the name of Catharinea ; but Dr. Hooker is of opinion that the
genus is not tenable.
2242. Anictangium. From amxrc;, open, and xyyiiov, a vase, on account of the open nature of the theca,
which is not enclosed by a peristome. The only British species are two plants with nerveless leaves, and the
habit of Trichostomum.
2243. Fissidens. From fisstts, split, and dens, a tooth, in allusion to the structure of the peristome. Plants
generally referred to Dicranum by British botanists, but differing from that genus entirely in habit, and suffi-
ciently in characters Dr. Hooker remarks, that the structure of their leaves is highly curious, and totally
unlike that of any other plant with which he is acquainted. Besides being vertical, their upper half (taking
the nerve for the line of separation) is, from the base beyond the middle, composed of two equal lamellse, the
lower part of which embraces the stem, and the rest very often embraces a portion of the leaf placed imme-
diately above it
2244. Leucodon. Named from >Mxot, white, and oZvs, a tooth, from the color of the peristome. The only
British species has occasionally been thrown among the Dicrana, Trichostoma, and Pterogonia ; from any of
which, an attentive consideration of the lateral fruit, deeply divided teeth, and dimidiate calyptra, will keep
its genus distinct The stems are long, and creeping over the bark of trees.
2245. Fontinalis. From fons, a fountain, in allusion to the places where it grows. F. antipyretica Is a
common plant, floating in large masses in rivers and pools of water. The specific name was given it because

it is employed by the Swedes to fdl up the spaces between the chimney and the walls, and thus, by excluding
the air, to prevent the action of fire.
224fi. Anomoiton. So called by the authors of Muscologia Britannica, on account of the peculiar nature of
the peristome, which has narrow fringed processes arising from the very same range, and from between the
teeth ; am/twf, irregular, and oim, a tooth. The stems are dark, almost blackish green, long, cylindrical, and
straggling. It is not uncommon on the wilds of Dartmoor.
Neckera. Named after N. J. Necker, a German botanist, who published in 1791, his Elements of
Botany, a work which contained more useful [information than many of his detractors have been pleased to
allow. Beautiful mosses found in woods and upon trees and rocks. N. crispa has more the appearance of
some fine tropical moss, than of those of our own country, where it is far from uncommon in mountainous
districts, frequently covering a great extent of surface upon the trunks of old forest-trees.
Oa/tonia. Named in honor of the Rev. .lames Dalton. a skilful English muscologist The mitriform
Calyptra separates this from Nerkera. I), splachnoidc.s has only been found by the side of a streamlet on the
Secawn mountain, near Dublin, where it grows sparingly in pale green tufts.
2249. Hookcria. This beautiful Hypnum-likc genus was named by Sir James Edward Smith, in honor of
Dr. William Jackson Hooker, F. R S., ftc professor of botany in the university of Glasgow, one of the most
distinguished of modern cryptogamic botanists, and a gentleman whose public reputation is only exceeded by
l.i- private excellence. The Hookera of Salisbury, must give way to tliis on every account H. lavte-virens

2254. Marchantia. Named by Nicholas Marchant, in honor of his father John Marchant, the first botanist
whom the Academy of Sciences of Paris admitted among its members, in 1666. Soft-leaved creeping plants,
with green cellular fleshy fronds spreading over the surface of the ground in wet places. M. hemisphsrica and
polymorphs are often the pest of the florist, whose flower pots are overrun by them, and continually dis-
figured.
2255. Riccia. Pietro Francisco Ricci, was a Florentine botanist, who left some of his works to the academy
of Florence. Little, generally floating, simple plants, of the nature of which very little is known. Only one
kind has been observed in fructification, and that is of a very ambiguous character. The thecje, or the organs
so called, are little round bodies immersed in a cavity of the frond, and containing minute sporules.
2256. Anthoceros. From ttvS-os, a flower, and xt^as, a horn, on account of the horn-like form of thetheca,
which old botanists considered to be the flower. Minute frondose plants, with a linear 2-valved theca, con-
taining a columella to which the sporules are attached. In habit they resemble Jungennannia.

who published in 17 >4 a work for the pur|>ose of shewing the importance of botanical lectures, with reference
to a course of studies in medicine There was also another Florentine physician called John Targioni Tozzctti,
after whom Tozzettia has been named. This genus consists of only one species, which is frondose and lobed.
The theca is concealed and almost sessile within the involucre, globose, bursting at the apex, and discharging
itsgporules mixed with spiral filaments. This genus is very near Jungermaniua.
2258. Sphterocarpus. From <r;cu;a., a globe, and xac**<*, fruit, in allusion to the form of the fruit. The
plant consists of a roundish delicate membranous frond, bearing on its disk a cluster of obpyriform receptacles,
each of which has a globose transparent finely membranous seed-vessel, filled with minute sporules unmixed
with clastic filaments.

CRYPTOGAMIA.
Order 7. ALGJE
Class XXIV.
Reproductive organs of two kinds. 1. Thecce or tubercles variously situated. 1. Sporules or granules naked or
immersed in the frond. Plants always aquatic and submersed.
This order is constituted of the sea-weeds of our ocean, and of the floating scum-like substances of our ditches
and rivers. Little is known of the functions which what are called their reproductive organs perform. The
nature and structure of those organs are so various as to render it improbable that they should all be destined
for the same purposes. The bodies which are called sporules are variously situated ; now filling distinct thecae (a),
or even tubercles (6), which are either free (b, c, d), or imbedded in the substance of the frond (e,/>) ; now ap-
pearing to be naked and surrounded by an involucre (g) ; now scattered or arranged in some determinate
manner in the interior of the frond, (h) The fronds arc either cylindrical (A), or plane («'), sometimes little more
more than a mere membrane, sometimes hard and horny, and extended to the length of many feet. Many are
articulated (», k) : their line of separation is then called a joint, and the space between two joints an articulation.
Professor Agardh, of Lund, one of the most celebrated of modern cryptogamists, and whose disposition of
Alga: is adopted here, in his latest work, called Systema Algarum, published at Lund, in 1824, defines the order
thus :
" Aquatic plants destitute of cotyledons and of sexual organs ; gelatinous, membranous, or coriaceous ;
filamentous, laminose, or even leafy ; in color green, purple, or olivaceous ; jointed or continuous ; bearing
sporidia" (little transparent bodies containing sporules), " either included in pericarps or scattered over the
surface. "
The Algae form one of the three forms of the lowest order of vegetation, Lichens and Fungi the two other.
Of the former, many are considered by some botanists to be animalcula, and others, to be the young seedling
plants of mosses.
Tribe I. DIATOME.E.

2262 Meloseira. Filaments jointed, contracted at the joints, very fragile, and easily separating.
2263. Desmidium. Filaments transversely and densely striated, mucous, flexible, green, half separated into
articulations, and in that state pinnatifid.
2264. Schizontema. Filaments bead-like, composed of narrower cohering filaments inclosing elliptical
granules, into which they are finally dissolved. Marine.
Tribe II. NOSTOCHIN.E.

there clavate processes.
£270. Rivularia. A gelatinous subglobose frond filled with filaments, radiating from a common centre, con-
tinuous, placed on a globule, and marked with annulations inside.
2271. ChiEtophora. Plant elongated or globose gelatinous. Substance composed of branched articulated
filaments.
2272. Scythymenia. A coriaceous tough stratum, formed of fibres and granules mingled together.
Tribe III. CONFERVOIDEjE.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2229. Achnanthes. From ax^r,, the froth of the ocean, and uv&o;, a flower. Marine productions, separating
into fragments, but by degrees. In the middle of each articulation are one or two crystalline points.
2230. Diatoma. From iutrou.fi, incision, in allusion to the curious manner in which the filaments are divided
into joints cohering alternately by their angles.
2231. Fragillaria. So named on account of their fragile nature, which is more remarkable than that of
other Conferva?. The filaments when complete are flat and composed of little fragments glued together
crosswise. These are very narrow, and when once separated do not cohere again.
2232. Meloseira. From f^iXos, a membrane, and o-ngx, a chain, with reference to the form of the filaments.
This genus differs from the last, as Conferva from Oscillatoria.
2263. Desmidium. From ito-/xo;, a bond, in allusion to the singular manner in which the parts cohere when
in a state of dissolution. At that period the articulations become half separated one from the other in such a
way as to represent a pinnatifid appearance.
2264. Schizonema. From o-xii<", to divide, and nj/*a, a filament ; the filaments are finally divided into com-
pound granules. These plants have entirely the habit and flexible substance of Conferva;. When fresh they
are sparkling and brown, when dry olive-green, and very shining. They are composed of many Aliform
individuals, which include nearly the same corpuscles as are visible in the foreign genera Frustulia and

2265. Palmella. Apparently a diminutive of Palma, a little palm ; but the application of the name is not
Obvious in that sense. The plants are found in marshy or inundated places, and consist of globules nestling in
a gelatine • in which respect the genus differs from Protococcus, the Hed Snow plant. It is supposed that
many of the species are only the ova of animalcules.
Tlie Hed Bnow plant, which, as we have just said, is nearly related to this genus, has not hitherto been
noticed in this country, but as it has been found in many countries similar to our own regions of snow, it la to
probable that it exists in Great Britain, that we insert some particulars of it here, especially as it may \ie con-
sidered to have been introduced at least in 1819, by Captain Ross's expedition to the North Pole. When viewed
under the highest powers of a simple microscope, it appears to consist of globules containing a red fluid. We
wlect the following observations upon its history, from a communication made to the News of Literature and
Science, on the twenty-first of January, 1826.
" Our scientific readers will remember the interest which was excited on the subject of this natural produc-
tion, upon the return of Captain Hoss from his Polar expedition, some years since. At that time it was
examined by three of the most acute observers in this country, especially of microscopical objects, Wollaaton,
Brown, and Bauer, who all formed a similar conclusion in one respect, that it was of vegetable origin, but were
of different opinions as to its precise nature : Dr. Wollaston supposing it to be the seed ot ■ mod , Mr Brown,
a substance l>elonging to Algae, and nearly related to Tremclla cruenta, a common British plant; and Mr.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
Bauer refering it to a genus of Fungi, called Uredo. We have lately seen a curious paper upon this subject,
by Professor Agardh, of Lund, whose opinions upon all matters connected with the lower orders of vegetation
demand deep attention.
" That snow occasionally assumed a red color, had long been a fact of which there could be no doubt ; and
that water was also under particular circumstances stained with red, we have the popular traditions of showers
of blood, and water changed to blood, to attest. In the year 1608, a shower of blood fell near Aix, if. France,
which was examined by Peiresc, and found to be caused by insects; and to the same cause was undoubtedly
to be ascribed the bloody rain that fell at Schonen, in 1711, which the learned Bishop Swedberg looked upon
as a supernatural phenomenon, and a direct sign of the anger of the Divinity. The red pools which are occa-
sionally met with, even in this country, are generally stained by the presence of an immense number of
animalcules, called Daphinia Pulex, or Cyclope quadricornis. The red stains sometimes seen upon the sea-
shore are occasioned by a particular sort of Fucus. Professor Agardh proceeds to observe, that the red snow
is very common in all the alpine districts of Europe ; where it is probably, for the most part, of the same
nature as that brought from the North Pole by Captain Ross. Saussure saw it in abundance upon Mount
Brevern, in Switzerland, and elsewhere ; Ramond found it on the Pyrenees, and Sommerfeldt in Norway. In
March, 1808, the whole country about Cadore, Belluno, and Feltri, was in a single night covered to the depth
of twenty centimetres with a rose-colored snow ; at the same time a similar shower was witnessed on the
mountains of Valtelin, Brescia, Carinthia, and Tyrol. But the most remarkable red-snow shower was that
which fell on the night between the 14th and 15th of March, 1823, in Calabria Abruzzo, in Tuscany, and at
Bologna, and upon the whole chain of the Appennines. We may add, that both snow and ice were seen
stained with red, green, and blue; by the late expedition under Baron Wrangel to the Frozen Ocean.
" With this information before him, Professor Agardh proceeds to consider the nature of this remarkable
substance, which he concludes, with Brown, to be referable to the lowest order of Algae, and to stand as a
distinct genus, which he calls Protococcus, upon the very limits of the animal and vegetable kingdoms.
Saussure, indeed, from finding that the red snow of the Alps gave out, when burnt, a smell like that of plants,
concluded that it was of vegetable origin ; but he supposed it to consist of the farina of some plant, although
he could neither account for its having ascended to such elevated regions, nor mention a plant whose farina
was of that color.
" Besides the plant called Palmella cruenta, which is similar in its structure to the red-snow plant, other low
vegetable productions have been noticed by different authors, as possessing a similar color. Such are the
I^eprana Kermesina, which, by the way, is considered only a particular state of the red-snow plant itself, and
the Byssus cobaltiginea. These are always found in situations in which they are exposed to the intense action
of light, such as vast plains of snow, or masses of glittering limestone. Whence it is inferred, that the color
of the red snow is attributable to the action of light, modified in some mysterious manner, by the nature of
the body on which it strikes. In confirmation of which hypothesis, it is remarked, that when the Leprana

Kermesina is found under stems, stones, or in crevices of limestone, where light can scarcely gain admittance,
its color gradually' passes from red to green.
" The only difficulty in the way of this explanation of its nature is in the statements of so many observers,
that the red snow falls from the air. But Professor Agardh shrewdly remarks, that all the persons agree that
it fell in the night, tvhich it as much as to sap, that no one saw it/all. He is of opinion that the Protococcus
or Red Snow, is called into existence by the vivifying power of the sun's light, after its warmth has caused
the snow to dissolve, and accompanied by that incomprehensible power in white snow, of producing a color-
and, moreover, that it first attracts the eye when there is a considerable quantity, in the same way that we do
not see the color of drops of water till they have accumulated in the ocean."
22<i6. Echitulla. From echinus, an hedgehog, in allusion to the bristly appearance presented by its radiant
particles. Many naturalists believe the bodies referred to this genus to be animalcula.
2267. Alcyonidium. So called, from aXxuctiiot, the foam of the sea, among which the plants referred to this
genus are naturally produced. This also is supposed to be the nidus of animalcula. Lamouroux who origin-
ally fixed it here, afterwards referred it to Zoophytes ; in which last opinion Gaillon agrees with him, declaring
that he has actually seen the animalcula nestling in it D'Orbigny and Ellis consider it the ova of a testaceous
animal.

this singular substance changes into the genus Collema among the Lichens.

of a gelatinous but toughish texture Their color is dark-green, and not as in the next genus, pale-green!
The filaments are very singular, seated on a globule, simple, cylindrical, and terminated by a very tine point •
they are densely compact, continuous, and filled with a green annular matter.
2271. Chartophora. From ^accrr, a bristle, and firm, to bear ; the filaments are terminated by a bristle-like
point This genus is chiefly distinguished from Conl'ervoidea? by its gelatine. The color is bright green, and
the texture softer than in the preceding. The manner of propagation, which has been noticed in so small a
number of Alga?, has been observed by Agardh in two species of this genus. In Cha;tophora pisifonnis little
hard crystalline corpuscles, like grains of sand, may be seen, which separate from the mother plant and pro-
duce young filaments. But in C clavata, the points of the filaments fall ofT and sink to the bottom of the
water", where they unite by three, four, five, or by a greater number at a time, in a common point, which is first
green, afterwards blackish, and apparently inorganic. From this beginning new individuals arise.
2272. Scythymenia. Derivation unknown. A very singular plant, formerly referred to I'lva. It has the
habit of a fungus, and grow.-, ii|«m damp walk. It is supposed to be most nearly related to Paltnellx

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2273. Byssocladium. From byssus, a kind of fungus, and xXalot, a branch ; the filamentous branches of this
plant being very simdar to those of Byssus. These plants grow in places occasionally overflowed with water.
2274. Mycinema. From imxyii, a kind of minute fungus, and hjawc, a thread: in allusion to the resemblance
of the filaments to those of some Fungi.
2275. Chroolepus. So called on account of the change which is undergone by the exterior membrane
which changes to powder ; from x<uee;, skin, and As«u, to decorticate.
2276. Trentepohlia. So named, in honor of an obscure German botanist This is an ill-defined genus, which
is much in need of reformation.
2277. Scytonema. From itzvto;, leather, and v^mx., a filament ; in allusion to the coriaceous nature of the
filamentous frond. The species grow chiefly on stones in inundated places, and are rarely found in salt water.

water Confervae.
2285. Osci/latoria. The singular motion of these curious plants has suggested their generic name. The
oscillation of the filaments seems almost of an animal nature, although it frequently arises from mechanical

2286. Calothrix. From xx>.»s, beautiful, and ->»jJ, hair, in allusion to the beauty of the entangled filaments ;
the latter appear as if branched, by the singular juxta-position of small filaments.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
held to be efficacious in healing fractured limbs. Pliny declares, he was witness to a cure of this kind. Some
of the species of this genus are believed to be merely the young of mosses.
2293. Bulbochtete. From (ZoXgos, a club, and xa,rvt> a hristle, in reference to the bristly end of the primary
filaments.
2294. Nitella. From niteo, to shine. A genus separated by Agardh from Chara, because the stem is
composed of a simple tube, and not of one spirally striated. The plants have the habit of Chara.
2295. Chara. The origin of this word is unknown. It first occurs in Caesar's Commentaries, where it is
mentioned as the name of a plant, the root of which was used by the Roman soldiers as food. That plant
could have had no relation to the plant of the moderns. Various opinions have been held with regard to the
station of this genus. Linnaeus referred it to the perfect plants, and he has been followed by many botanists.
Dr. Hooker and Mr. Lindley, in the former's Flora Scotica, formed it into a particular order, placed between
Alga; and Hepaticae ; and with this opinion Dr. Greville coincides. But Professor Agardh thinks it cannot
even be separated from true Algae, in the midst of which he has placed it The nature of the fructification
is so paradoxical, that it is scarcely possible to trace an analogy between it and the fructification of any othei
plant.

and Miscellaneous Particulars.
Greville observes, " This is a most curious tribe of plants, whose structure, I am convinced, is by no means
well understood. At present, 1 have only minutely examined the fruit of C. vulgaris. Under a high power of
the microtcope, the globule ii found to consist of seven triangular scales, which in maturity separate from each
other, and produce the dehiscence of the globule. Each of these scales has a vacant portion in its centre, but
the margin, which has a fluted appearance under a small magnifier, consists of a number of parallel, linear-
oblong, hya'line, hollow tubes, placed at small intervals from each other, those forming the angles of the scale
twin g branched. Within these tubes are a profusion of orange, globular, minute Indies (exactly similar to
the sporules of manv ctTptOgamiC plant* , arranged in no order, and escaping on the least injury to the Nines.
It is these little bodies which give the orange color to the globule. Within the globule is a mass ol elastic
white filaments, much convoluted, and distinctly either jointed or transversely rugose."
The calcareous matter of the stem and branches is not an adventitious incrustation, but is the result ot some
peculiar economy in the plant itself, as it evidently originates from within, and is covered with the cuticle. 11
is supposed to be analogous to the siliceous deposit beneath the cuticle of Kquisetum.
Ceramhm. So called from atf***Mf, • little measure, in reference to the appearance or trie capsules.
All Iht species are found ill the sea, and among the substances cast up upon the shore.

History, Use, Projmgation, Culture,
5302. Sphacellaria. This name has been suggested by the sphacelated appearance of the truncated extremities
of the shoots, in which the reproductive organs are immersed.
2303. Cladostephus. From xXeiboe, a branch, and r&?»?, a crown, in allusion to the manner in which the
first stem is crowned as it were by the little compound whorled branches.
2304. Vaucheria. So named, in honor of M. Vaucher, of Geneva, an indefatigable collector of submersed
Algae.
2305. Codium. From m-iSim, a skin, with reference to the appearance of the second species.
2306. Bryopsis. The filaments of this genus form little pinnated or imbricated branches, resembling bits of
moss ; whence the name has been formed, from flevo; a moss, and vfyis, resemblance.

History, Vsc, Propagation, Culture,
2312. Rhodomela. From poho;, red, and yutkot, a limb ; in allusion to the color of the fronds.
2313. Chondria. The fronds of this genus are particularly cartilaginous, on which account its name has been
formed from ^vSjo?, cartilage. C. pinnarifida is eaten in Scotland ; it has a pungent flavor.
2314. Sphcerococcus. From trfaifa, an orb, and xtxxos, fruit. The theca? of the genus are round, and con-
tain a globose nucleus full of round sporidia.

History, Vse, Propagation, Culture,
2317. Delesseria. The most beautiful of the Fucus tribe, so named in honor of M. Benjamin Delessert, a
distinguished French patron of botany ; and now holding the same station among the scientific men of Paris,
as was lately occupied in London by Sir Joseph Banks.
2318. Lemanea. Named in honor of M. Leman, a French botanist, who possessed a considerable knowledge
of Algs. This genus is the puzzle of writers upon Algse. It differs from all the Nostochina: in its sub-
f tance, being in no way gelatinous, and in its compound structure, and separate fruit ; from Confervoideaj it is
distinguished by its continuous frond, olivaceous color, and leathery texture. To Fucoidea: it most nearly
related in color, substance, and structure, but it is akin to no other genus, and its habits are entirely different
from those of Fucoideae ; the species being all found floating in fresh water.
2319. Chordaria. So called from the cord-like appearance of the species.
2320. Scytosiphon. The fronds of this genus are tubular and coriaceous ; whence the name has been con-
ti.ved, from rxuro;, leather, snd m;ws>, a «J;ihon-

2326. I.ichina. So called in allusion to its supposed convertibility into some one of the Lichen tribe. Sir
James Smith has made one species a Lichen and the other a Fucus.
2327. Furcellaria. Named on account of the dichotomous forked or furcellate arrangement of the fronds.
2328. Fucus. So called by the Greeks. In Latin, the word signifies paint of any kind; a pigment staining
red is afforded by certain species of Fucus. Fucus vesiculosus is much employed in the manufacture of kelp.
It is common in great variety upon all the sea-coasts of these islands. It is known at first sight by its spherical
vesicles filled with air. When the plant is dried, it becomes brittle, and of a dull black color, and sometimes
it is covered with a saline efflorescence. Medically it is considered deobstruent, and has been found efficacious
in scrofulous swellings. {Thorn, hond. Disp. 308.)

For rural economy, this and other species of Fucus are burned for their ashes, which produce the kelp or
potash of commerce. On those shores of the sea where these plants do not abound, and where the water is
sufficiently saline, the different species of fuci are raised artificially, by depositing stones at regular distmces,
on which the fuci spring up of themselves, and in four years yield a crop fit for cutting. Those who are
interested on this subject will find ample information in the Transactions of the Highland Society of Scotland
(vol. viii), and in Headrick's Survey of Forfarshire. A condensed view of what is known on the subject will
be found in the Encyclopaedia of Agriculture in loco.
2329. Cystoseira. From xumt, a bladder, and rufee, a chain. The upper parts of the frond have the appear-

CRYPTOGAMIA.
Class XXIV.
Order 8.
lim LICHENS.
Reproductive organs uniform. Spoiules deposited in receptacles of various forms, distinct in substance from the
thallus or frond, which is either pulverulent, crustaceous, membranous, foliaceous, or branched and shrub-like.
This, Algae, and the collateral order Fungi, may be said to exhibit the lowest stage of vegetable developement,
and to contain the simplest forms of which plants are susceptible. Indeed it seems that each is resolved into
the other when in the least stage of composition. Of this order, the lowest tribe, Pseudo-Lichenes, are con-
sidered Fungi by some authors, and have been formed into a distinct order by others, under the name of
Hypoxyla. Here it seems best to consider them Lichens.
The fructification is usually in the form of shields or cup-like receptacles (a), dispersed over the surface of the
frond or thallus (6), and bearing various names according to their nature. Apothecia is the common term used to
designate the fructification. Podetia are the stalk-like processes of the frond (c), which bear the apothecia on
their summit. Scyphce are cup-like apothecia. Cyphel/ce are pale tubercular spots on the under side of the
frond. LacuncE are small hollows or pits on the upper surface of the frond. Soredia are little heaps of free,
pulverulent bodies, mostly of a whitish color, placed on various parts of the frond (e). Pulvinuli are spongy, ex-
crescence-like bodies arising from the frond, and often resembling minute trees. Nucleus proligerus, or kernel,
is a distinct cartilaginous body coming out entire from the apothecia, and containing sporules. Lamina
proligera is a distinct body containing the sporules, separating from the apothecia, often very convex and
variable in form, and mostly dissolving into a gelatinous mass. The arrangement of Acharius, which is the
most celebrated, is here followed.
Tribe I. IDIOTHALAMI.
Apothecia differing in color from the rest of the plant, and formed of a distinct substance.
^ 1. Apothecia simple, entirely formed of a sub-uniform, pulverulent, or cartilaginous substance. Homouenii.
* Apothecia destitute of a raised margin.
2330. Spiloma. Plant crustaceous. spreading, plane, adnate, uniform. Apothecia composed of minute bo-
dies, collected into a compact, homogeneous, subpulverulent, naked, and shapeless colored mass.
2331. Solorina. Plant foliaceous, coriaceous, lobed, separate beneath, and veiny or fibrous with down. Re-
copt. adnate, roundish, not edged, covered by a colored membrane, and containing a solid, cellular, bladdery
parenchyma.
* * Apothecia with a raised border.
2332. Lecidea. Plant various, crustaceous, spreading, adnate, and uniform or foliaceous. Apothecia scutel-
liform, sessile, surrounded by a cartilaginous membrane ; the disk of the same nature as the raised border.
2333. Calicium. Plant crustaceous, plane, spreading, adnate, uniform. Apothecia cup-shaped, sessile, or
stipitate, cartilaginous, containing a compact pulverulent mass, plane or convex, and forming a naked disk.
2334.. Gyrophora. Plant foliaceous, coriaceous, or cartilaginous, peltate, mostly monophyllous, free beneath.

imbedded in the substance of the frond. The species form small roundish or angular plants, commonly closely
sessile upon earth or stone/ of a grey or olive hue ; their fructification appearing like little black dots over the
surface
2336. Thelotrema. From &r,\r,, a nipple, and t^/mx., an orifice. The protruberances of the thallus are per.

2342. Borrera. Dedicated by Acharius, to Mr. William Borrcr, F. L. S., one of our most eminent British
cryptogamic botanists. This genus is very natural in habit, including the Linnean genus Lichen and its
aliies.
2343. Cetraria. An unexplained name. C. islandiea is common in Iceland and in the north of Germany,
and is also found In the mountains of Asturias. It grows to the height of two or three inches only, and has a
rugged bushy aspect. In Iceland and Lapland it is used as an article of diet ; being boiled in broth or milk,
after being freed from its bitter by repeated maceration in water, or dried and made into bread. It has of late
years been brought in considerable quantities to this country for medicinal purposes. The dried plant ditiers
very little from its appearance in a recent state. Medicinally it is tonic and demulcent ; it has also been found
useful in debilities after acute diseases, and in emaciations, particularly those arising from the great discharge

One of the most handsome genera of Lichens, growing almost wholly upon trees. Sticta pulmonacea is sup-
posed to possess the same qualities as the famous Iceland moss, Cetraria islandica.
2.J45. Peltidea. So called in allusion to the form of the shields, from tiXty,, a target. Peltidea aphthosa, J
lar^e handsome species, has its name from the circumstance related by Linnaeus, that the Swedish peasants
boil it in milk as a cure for the aphtha, or thrush, in children.
2346. 'Nephroma. From v.feos, a kidney ; the apothecia are of a reni form figure. N. polaris is remarkable
for being common to both the arctic and antarctic circles.

decay.

In speaking of the eighth order, Lichens, it has been observed, that they, Algae and Fungi, might he con-
sidered collateral. But perhaps Fungi should be estimated as still lower in the scale of creation than
Lichens. From some passages in the writings of a celebrated Swedish author upon Fungi, Mr. Fries, whose
mode of arrangement is almost entirely adopted here, it would seem as if he considered the three orders to
consist of the same beings altered by the material on which they grow, and organized according to the different
elements upon which they depend for support. Alga?, he observes, which are much extended in their native
element water, when exposed to the air, contract and become Lichens. Thus Nostoc muscorum becomes
Collema'limosu'm, &c. ; and Sir James Smith has even decided, that Lichina pygmaea when growing under water
is an Alga, and when above water a Lichen. But the differences between Fi ngi and Algae, or Lichens, are
greater, and arise out of their essence ; that of Fungi being always reproductive, of Algae primitive. In Algae,
the thallus is the most essential part, and the reproductive organs of secondary importance ; in Fungi, the whole
plant is generally a mass of reproductive matter, and the thallus always accidental. Fungi always grow upon
dead vegetable matter ; Lichens always upon living vegetation. The bark which, when living, bears Lichens,
produces Fungi as soon as it begins to decay : and even on the same half-dead branch, the living side will be
found occupied by Lichens, and the dead by minute Fungi. The lowest Fungi are considered by Fries, to bear
the same relation to plants as Entozoa to animals; for which reason, he is of opinion, that all infusorial plants
are Fungi, and not Alga?. But this may be doubted. The number of Fungi which may be conceived to exist
,s incalculable. Multitudes have been discovered by the researches of modern observers, and multitudes still
remain to be detected, especially in extra-Euro]>ean countries. In Sweden, in the small space of a square
furlong, where the number of Phaenogamous plants was 420, and of Lichens and Algae 430, Fries discovered
more than 2000 species of Fungi.
The most celebrated writers on Fungi are Micheli, Schoeffer, Bulliard, Bolton, Sowerby, and Greville, for
figures ; and Persoon, Link, Nees von Esenbeck, Fries, and Greville, as systematists.
Link defines the essence of a Fungus to be sporules disposed in a series, in elongated tubular cells ; the cells
situated in some part of the external surface. The part in which the reproductive organs are placed is called
the hymenium (a), the hollow base from which the stem or stipes (a) arises is named the volva (b) or wrapper ;
the upper part is the cap or pileus (c), which is provided on the inferior surface with thin radiating expansions,
which are termed gills or lamella, among which the sporules are situated. Many Agarics have a delicate fringe
connecting the margin of the pileus at a certain age with the stem ; this is called the veil (</), and is either
general (universale), when adnate with the surface of the pileus, but becoming obsolete with age ; or it is partial
when it extends only from the margin of tho pileus to the stipes. The annulus(d) is a kind of veil, which is
sometimes fixed to the stem, at others free and capable of being moved upwards and downwards. The
Peridium, Perithecium, or Perisporium, are different names for the envelope immediately enwrapping the

Observations.
Tribe I. Hymenomycetes. This tribe is readily distinguished from the others by its hymenium containing
sporules within the surface, and not naked ; from the Pyrcnomycetes by the want of a perithecium and a
reproductive nucleus ; from Gasteromycetes by the want of a peridium inclosing the sporules, which constitute
the mass of the fungus, and from the Hyphomycetes and Coniomycetes by the sporidia not being exposed.
Division I. Pileati. This constitutes the most extensive division in Fungi, and includes almost every thing
which was known to the ancients. Dioscorides mentions one or two species distinctly, comprehending the remain-
der among his eatable and unwholesome kinds. Pliny talks of the very numerous kinds of fungi, but describes
very few. C. Bauhin knew about sixty, which he chiefly obtained from Clusius ; Tournefort had two genera
and eighty-seven species ; Micheli six genera and about 800 species; Linnaeus three genera and fifty species;
Persoon, in his Synopsis, mentions nine genera and 683 species ; finally, Fries describes more than a 1000
6pecies arranged under many genera and subgenera.
The species are widely scattered over all Europe, but the extra European fungi, with the exception of those

kinds. They are found growing on the earth, or in decayed wood, or similar substances; never U| wit*.
Those which have been described as natives of vaults and places underground, arc believed to be mete
monstrous formations. They are in greatest perfection in warm rainy weather, being chiefly the creations of
summer and autumn ; a few only ap|>ear In the spring, and scarcely any in the winter. The duration of the
pileatc fungi is often only ephemeral ; some last from a week to a fortnight ; and a few for a longer time The
Daedaleae and Polypori are often called perennial, but it is the opinion of Fries, that their substance decays, and
is only covered yearly by a fresh layer of pores. The roots of many of those which grow u|h>ii trees is peren-
nial ; of others merely annual.
When crude they are mostly poisonous, with a mucilaginous taste, which is often acrid, but thev become less
dangerous by cooking. The dangerous qualities of some of the kinds is attributable to the larva: with which
they are infested.

Observations.
Division II. Clavati. Scarcely any traces of these fungi can be discovered in the writings of the ancients.
Clusius described a few. Tournefort confounded them with corals and Lycoperdons. Holmskioid and
Persoon are the principal modern writers upon this tribe.
Almost all the species of which there is any certain knowledge are European. The genuine kinds are terres-
trial ; those which are found upon wood, being transitious to other orders. In vaults or caverns they become
unusually developed, and the asci, on account of the excessive supply of moisture, expand and become
flocculent. Most are found in the autumn ; the branched kinds are often what are termed meteoric, that is to
say, spring up suddenly after heavy falls of rain. They seldom last more than fourteen days.
In qualities they are mild, some having a bitter taste, but the greatest number are almost entirely destitute
of smell, color, or taste. Many of the large kinds are used in cookery, and are eaten by various herbivorous
animals.
Class II. Uterini. The natural form of the receptacle is cupulate, but in the most perfect kinds, the
cupula is reflexed, and is called a mitra ; in the least perfect, which are innate in the matrix, the receptacle is
almost wholly obliterated. The resupinate Pileati are distinguished from these by their immarginate form,
and by their asci.
Division I. Mitrati. A small division, apparently wholly unknown to the ancients. The species are almost
entirely European ; a few are found in North America and Siberia. It is probable, however, from the evidence
of Loureir-) and others, that some peculiar genera and species exist within the tropics. They are generally
fond of a humid shady station. None are found in subterraneous places. If an individual is occasionally
produced upon wood, it is upon such as is wholly decayed. Many spring up in the autumn and spring ; they
are rarely meteoric, but some appear in greater abundance in one kind of season than in another. Most of
thcin last for a fortnight, and retain their form when dry
Their qualities are generally mild, nutritive, and juiccless ; one is said to be bitter. They are little infested
by larvae. Several are used as food.
Division II. Cupulati. These are included in the Fungoides of the old botanists. The species which are
separate from their thallus and much developed, arc little changed by the places in which they grow, and are
therefore the same in the most remote countries ; but the eruptive or innate species, which are more affected
by the nature of the substance by which they are fed, are liable to greater changes when their matrix is
altered. For it is a general rule, that the more a fungus is innate in the substance which produces it, the more
it is not only imperfect, but affected by its situation, and vice-versa. Hence Ca?oma, which is of a very low
order, consists of as many species as the plants upon which it grows, just as a vowel forms as many distinct
words as it is combined with distinct consonants.
The Clavati and Pileati, which chiefly depend upon the access of light, are in perfection from spring to
autumn ; the Elvellacex from autumn to spring. The Cupulati also depend much ujwn the operation of light,
for in caverns or cellars they remain closed and sphaeria-like. Such is the case with Peziza cerina, which in
dark places, undergoes many metamorphoses ; and Cenangium under similar circumstances, when some
obstacle is offered to the devclopcment of its hymenium, becomes deliquescent Generally the terrestrial sorts
agree in habitude with the preceding divisions ; but those which are eruptive are often in perfection for half
a year together.
Class III. Trcmellini. Tliesc are nearly akin te the Pileati and Clavati, especially to Ttielcphora and
Calocera; and also to Elvellaceae, more particularly to Hygromitra, Peziza, Mollisia, Bulgaria, and Ditiola,
but. they are distinguished without difficulty by the characters assigned to them.
Formerly all the genera were confounded under one, along with various species of Lichens and Algae. These

Observations.
are by modern writers now referred to their proper stations. The genus Mycoderma of Persoon, to which
are referred those tough skin-like coatings which are found upon vegetable extracts enclosed in bottles, and
which is generally placed among Tremellini, is thought by Fries to be not of a vegetable nature.
The species at present known are found in Europe, Asia, and North America, but no material difference
seems to be caused in them by their native country. All the species, with one exception, are epiphytes; the
most perfect bursting forth from the bark of trees ; the least perfect occurring on decorticated wood, the stems
of herb?, &c. &c. The more the wood is dried, the nearer the species approach to Lichens ; the more it is
humid to Alga?. They are in perfection in the latter part of autumn, winter, and early spring, but scarcely any
are found in the summer. Some live for a month or more ; others appear to be perennial. When dry they
are not to be recognized ; they may nevertheless be preserved, and if moistened, they recover their original
appearance. It must be observed, that they are in all cases to be examined in a wet and tumid state.
Their qualities are refrigerant, and but little known. They are destitute of smell and taste, for which
reason, and on account of their mucilaginous texture, scarcely any species is eatable. Many of the large kinds
were formerly used in medicine in cases of ophthalmia, under the name of the " Jew's ear." Vinegar in
which they had been steeped was also used as a gargle in tumors of the throat, according to Clusius. Tremella
fimbriate is said to furnish a dye, and the sporidia of T. mesenterica to dye yellow. Dacrymyces destroy*
timber.
l laai IV. Scleroliacea?. The affinity of this class is complex ; for the lower we descend, the less differences
are to be found between natural bodies. Thus Sclerotiacei are not only closely connected with the preceding
divisions, but have a more or less obvious relation to all the hymenine and epiphytous classes of other tribes.
Before the time of Tode, a most sagacious observer, who was the first to distinguish the Sclerotia from other
fungi, a very lew species only were known, which were confounded with Lycoperdon, Spha'ria, Tuber, and other
genera. He was followed by various other mycologists, and especially by Decandolle, who described thirty-
inne >i>ecies. Tode, Persoon, and Link, have been unable to detect any fructification ; Decandolle, Ehren-
lierg, and Fries, declare that the sporidia are scattered through the whole mass of the fungus, and emerge from
it like hoar-frost.
Most of the known species are epiphytes, either upon living or recently dead plants. When growing in
cellars and subterraneous places they undergo no alteration, but they do not fructify. They flourish nio>t in
the winter, late in the autumn, and early in the spring; and are exceedingly common just at the retreat of
winter. A very few S|«rmodia only are found in the summer. Their odor and smell are either incon-
spicuous or nauseous. None of the species at least are eatable. Those which grow on rotten seeds are exceed.
innly poisonous. Some feed on the roots of living plants, which they destroy ; others infest sickly herbs, v. hence
they are a pest to the farmers.
Tribe 11. Uasteromyccles. These fungi consist of concrete cells; they have a determinate figure and a
tendency to a spherical form ; at first they are closed, but finally are furnished with an orifice ; or hurst m an
irregular manner, and emit an internal mass of reproductive matter, which either crumbles to pieces or
deliquesces. The integument is of various natures, either a vulva, a peridium, or |>erithecium, of a soinewh.it
bladdery texture ; and is simple or double, but rarely multiple. They almost all, when young, are fiuxile or
soft, or nave some part or another of a fluid nature ; afterwards they become indurated and rigid, and assume
their true forms.
M I. Angiogastres. These are fungi of remarkable forms, and most unusual mode of fructifying ; they
woe well known to Clusius, not to mention the celebrated Truffle of which Tneophraatus had knowledge
They arc found in different climates ; but the most perfect only in temperate regions. The latter are also

Observations.
terrestrial ; the imperfect kinds being inhabitants either of plants or of the dung of animals. Many are
meteoric, flourishing most in " Jove tonante, densisque cadentibus imbris ;" others are ephemeral ; some exist
for a month and more.
The Phalloidea? are generally very fa?tid, cold, and venomous ; one species is accounted in China a vulnerary,
and also a food, but of doubtful quality. The old physicians had some peculiar notions about their use in
arthritis, &c. but they are not worth repeating. The Tuberaccae have a peculiar smell, which is often grateful ;
their taste is irritating; their qualities esculent, nutritive, and aphrodisiacal.
Class II. Pyrenomyceles. The affinity of this class is very complex, for which reason there is much
difference of opinion among authors as to its limits. In fructification it approaches fungi of a higher degree of
developement ; on one hand resembling the Angiogastres, from which it is readily distinguished by its sepa-
rate receptacle ; on the other hand, the Cupulati, whose differences depend upon the definition of their
perithecium. In point of vegetation it descends, first, to Sclerotiacea?, which arc entirely different, in the
absence of an uterus and nucleus ; secondly, to Perisporia, which have no distinct |>crithecium, and no as' i , ;md
thirdly, to several genera of Coniomycetes.

Observations.
Its extent is very great, ascending from the most simple forms to those which are very compound, but at the
same time connected with the former by the most strict natural ties. The true place of the genera in the
system has been a subject of doubt Many authors have taken them for fungi in the most perfect state. Decan-
dolle excludes them from fungi, and, with some analogous Lichens, refers them to a peculiar intermediate
family.
They are found in every part of the world in which vegetation exists ; for every perfect plant and all its
decaying parts nourish Pyrctminycctcs. The chief families of trees in the European Flora upon which thev
flourish are Coiiiter.e, Anient trie, Ko-.ici e, line ce, Khamnoidca?, Accrina?, and Tiliacea?, and of herbs,
Graminea\ Umbellifcrtc, and Ialiaccav Many are [>eculiar to certain S|>ecies of trees, and others are common
to many species. For example, on the Betula alba may l>e found about ten peculiar species, and from forty to
fifty which are common to it and other trees. Their qualities are unknown. Many species which are included
by Fries under the name of Ectostroma, arc probably not vegetables, and arc here omitted.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
' 2365. Agaricus. This, the most extensive genus in the vegetable kingdom, derives its name from Agaria, a
kingdom of Sarmatia. The species are determined upon various principles. Some writers have mixed together
species of the most different kinds, as Gleditsch ; and a few writers only have really taken pains to ascertain
the species. If it is divided into many genera it would be necessary to break up Boletus also, which would
scarcely be judicious. An accurate and simple mode of division is, however, of the utmost moment, and
several methods have been proposed, the greater part of which are artificial, and therefore objectionable ; such,
for example, as that of Villars, from the magnitude of the species ; of Linnaeus, from the color of the pileus ;
of Haller, from the color of the lamella; or gills ; of Withering, from the nature of the stipes and the color
of the lamellae taken together ; or of Otto, from the position of the lamellae. The divisions of Fries, which
are all named as subgenera, depend upon the characters of the veil, the lamellae, the sporidia, and the pileus.

^ 1. Amanita. This name was applied by Galen to some eatable fungus., and has been restored in modern
days by Persoon. Most of the species are poisonous. They do not perish quickly, and are found for the most
part on damp earth in shady woods, never upon wood or the dung of animals. They are in perfection about
the end of summer.
A. vaginatus is eaten by the Muscovites ; but in the Jena Literary Gazette of 1819, it is declared to be
poisonous. A. ovoideus is said to be delicious.
A. muscarius, or reddish mushroon, has a large pileus, varying much in color, white, red, or crimson, convex,
sprinkled with downy warts, which are raised, compact, and angular, or thin, flat, and ragged, turning up with
age., from two to seven inches over ; flesh white, reddish in decay : gills fixed, white, yellowish with age, mostly
uniform, but a shorter one sometimes intervening ; the shorter gills varying much in length, but rarely less
than one-third the length of the long ones : the stem solid and cylindrical, but the internal substance shrivel-
ling with age leaves irregular hollows ; scaly, bulbous at the base, from three to five inches high, and from
three quarters to one and a half inch in diameter ; ring broad, permanent, and turned down upon the stem.
This plant rises out of the ground inclosed within its brown studded wrapper. It is found in pastures. The
juice rubbed on the walls and bed-posts destroys bugs ; and in the North of Europe, the inhabitants infuse it in

Kainti hadales, and Koriars, who use it for intoxic ation. They sometimes cat it dry, and sometimes immerse
it in a liquor made with the epilobium ; and when they drink this liquor, they are seized with convulsions in
all their limbs, followed with that kind of raving Hindi attends a burning fever. They personify this mush-
room ; and if they are urged by its effects to suicide, or any dreadful crime, they pretend to obey its commands.
To tit themselves (bl premeditated assassination, they recur to the use of the moucho-more. A powder of the
root, or ol that p .rt of the stem which is covered by the earth, is recommended in epileptic cases, and exter-
nally applied for dissipating hard globular swellings, and for healing ulcers. The dose is from half a scruple to
one, taken thrice a day in water; but a dram administered once a day in vinegar has been thought mole
efficacious, Murray, App. Med. vol V. p. 660. Dr. Withering enumerates ten varieties Of this ,-|iecies.

Histori/, Use, Propagation, Culture,
Schaeffer and Clusius have recited several curious circumstances respecting it. Dr. Withering apprehends that
tbese authors have mistaken the species, and that their account should be transferred to the A. deliciosus.
The A. xerampelinus is eatable, but its taste is not at all agreeable. It is the A. ca?sareus of Scha?ffer, and
first found by Dr. Withermg's daughter on the red rock plantations at Eilgbaston, July 6th, 1791, and after-
wards in September 1793 ; and in July 1792, among moss in the fir plantations at Tettenhall, Staffordshire.
Dr. W. enumerates five varieties.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
$ 6. Russula. So named from the russet color of the original species. The species are all large, or of middle
size, rigid, persistent, solitary, terrestrial, chiefly appearing in the autumn.
$ 7. Galarhieus. From y«X«., milk, and p-w, to flow ; many of the species being lactescent ; some are juiceless.
These are fungi of the summer and autumn, possessing an aromatic smell and acrid flavor. They all grow
upon the ground. A. torminosus, in times of scarcity, is eaten by the Russians, mixed with salt, oil, and
vinegar. Buxb. A controversus is stated by Persoon to be eatable ; but Fries thinks it must be in mistake.
A. deliciosus has gills decurrent, flame-colored, narrow, regularly branched ; pileus rich, red, brown ; flesh
nearly flat, but somewhat hollowed at the centre, and the edge turned in from one and a half to three inches
over ; orange-color ; stem orange, solid, tapering downwards, from one to two inches high, and a quarter
to three-eighths high: hollow with age. The juice is rich yellow, which soon turns green. It is found
in the fir plantations of Scotland, and in those of the barren hills at Barr, in Staffordshire. Dr. Smith also
found it at Hillingdon, Middlesex, under some fir trees ; it also grows near Guildford. It is much esteemed in
Italy, and exposed in the markets, and supposed to have been the A. casarei is mentioned by some authors.

Dr. Withering enumerates three varieties, one of which affords, from every part of it when wounded, a
copious discharge of yellow acrid juice. They are gathered in woods and dry pastures in September and
Octolur
Lfisel asserts in his Flora Prussira, p Bi, that " the juice of A. pipcratus, mixed with the syrup of mallows,
is a certain cure for calculus, and a powerful diuretic." Almost all the venemous fungi, and especially those
of the present group, are said to be the favorite food of the goat, during the rutting season. It is sometimes
monstrous and irregular. Withering mentions their attaining the diameter of ten inches. Tin rtipi
unfrequently thicker than it is long. It has been used in medicine, and thought useful in dissolving calculi ;
a property we may safely venture to deny It

them almost the appearance of being fixed, watery, brownish-white, two or four in a set, the small ones
very minute, and the large Oiies sometimes splitting at the outer end ; not numerous, rather broad for the
size of the plant, frequently connected to the pileus by ligaments; pileus pale, buffy-brown, convex, irregular,
with a sudden depression of the border at some distance from the centre, often giving the appearance of a large
rounded boss in the middle ; central color generally deeper ; from one to one and three-quarters inch over ;
and the edge turning up with age: stem solid, white, changing to watery-brown, cvbndrical, but thicker and
flattened just under the pilous, very tough, mostly crooked, twisted when dry, rarely central, one and half inch
high, and thick as a crow-quill. This is the twenty-seventh fungus of Rav's Synopsis, ed. 3. p. 6. ; A. pratensis
of Hudson, and coriaceus of Lightfoot There are two varieties ; one with cream-colored gills, buff pileus, and
mealy stem ; and another with yellow-brown, more fleshy, and more regularlv convex pileus, found in groves.

that from its leathery nature it is indigestible, except in the form of powder, in which it is admirable. Dr.
Withering, however, observe*, that be Sal seen the pileus and gills of this agaric very brittle and tender when
fully saturated with moisture in rainy seasons, and in that state it is sufficiently digestive. Professor Martyn
informs us that he has eaten these mushrooms for forty years without injury, and without perceiving that
toughness, like leather, of which others have complained, except in very dry weather, or when they are in too
advanced a State. They should be gathered young, and early in a morning, and properly dressed. They arc
found in hedge banks, upland pastures, and sheep commons, particularly in those patches Called I ary rings.
Those that are found in woods and hedges arc of inferior flavor to such as are gathered in <lry pastures, which
have a very pleasant smell and luscious flavor, either when stewed alone or in ragouts, \c. This sort makes
excellent ketchup, and is much valued in the form of powder. It is in season during September and October,
but may be dried so as to be in use for the table all the winter. Mr. Lightfoot supposes that this species is the

mottled, and in pairs ; pileus mouse-color, conical, and pointed ; stem of the same color, cylindrical, and firm.
This, though a common, is a very beautiful »pecies. In a summer morning it is covered with a bloom like
that of a plumb, having often a glittering spangled appearance ; its form is regular, and the fringe of the curtain
peculiarly delicate. Another variety, with the stem of a dark mulberry color, is found in wet gravel where
no mas grows, and sometimes on cow.dung, in which case the stem, under the shelter of long grass, is covered
with a white hoarinc.-s which is easily rubbed off

They are large, firm, somewhat succulent, autumnal, and terrestrial, but not as far as is known, eatable.
^20. Dermocybc. From ii^/Mi, a skin or membrane, and xugr„ a head, in allusion to the nature of the
pileus. Analogous to Clitocybe, \ 8. Of middle size, or small; scarcely eatable. A. CUmamomeus has gills,
four in a set, broad about the middle, deep tawny red, and fixed Ivy claws ; pileus convex, bul boned, of a rich
cinnamon color, from one and a half to three and a half inches diameter; the stein hollow, cylindrical,
silky, shining, two inches high, thick as a goose-quill, of a fine full yellow color. This i^ a species that is
readily distinguished by its cinnamon color. It is found in woods in September and October, and has a good
flavor.

large, solitary, terrestrial, mucous, inodorous, and not eatable.
^23. Hcbeloma. From r,gr„ down, and Xuua, a margin. The only species has a nauseous taste. Its lamella?
are serrated, and distil drops of a peculiar fluid. Its varieties are infinite. Common in woods.
fc 24. Flammula. So named in allusion to theii color, which is a pale yellow, the color of a weak flame.
The species are gregarious, suhcaespitose, firm, persistent, rather bitter, and all eatable. A. socialis and ilici-
nus are both eaten at Montpellier, where they are known by the names of Pivoulade d'eouse and Frigoule.
4 25. Inocube. From iva, fibres, and *t/,?»?, a head. A tribe which can scarcely be compared to any other.
It consists of fungi of middle-size, or smaller, solitary, growing on the ground during the summer, and not
known to be poisonous ; although, on account of their nauseous odor, they are suspicious.
h 26. Naucoria. Small gregarious epiphytous fungi, growing upon stipules, leaves, wood, and even muddy
earth, fragile, and without any smell. Their stature is that of Collybia, but their veil is of the same nature an
that of Lepiota, resembling the kernel of a nut (naucum), whence they are named.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
Of all the species of agaric, one only has been selected for cultivation in our gardens, viz. the A. campestris, or
common mushroon, or champignon. The gills of this species are loose, pinky red, changing to a liver -color, in
contact with the stem, but not united to it ; very thick set, irregularly disposed, some forked next the stem,
some next the edge of the pileus, some at both ends, and in that case generally excluding the intermediate
smaller gills. The pileus is white, changing to brown when old, and becoming scurfy; regularly convex,
fleshy, flatter with age, from two to four inches, and sometimes nine inches in diameter, and liquefying in
decay; the flesh white. The stem is solid, white, cylindrical, from two to three inches high, half an inch
in diameter ; the curtain white and delicate. When this mushroom first makes its appearance, it is smooth
and almost globular; and in this state it is called a button. This species is esteemed the best and most savoury
of the genus, and is much in request for the table in England. It is eaten fresh, either stewed or boiled, and
preserved either as a pickle, or in powder ; and it furnishes the sauce called ketchup. The field plants are
better for eating than those raised on artificial beds, their flesh being more tender ; and those who are accustomed
to them can distinguish them by their smell. But the cultivated ones are more sightly, may be more easily
collected in the proper state for eating, and are firmer and better for pickling. The wild mushrooms are found
in parks and other pastures, where the tuif has not been ploughed up for many years; and the best time for
gathering them is August and September. Dr. Withering mentions four varieties.
The A. Georgii of Linnajus resembles the former, but is much inferior to it in flavor. Its gills are yellowish
white; the pileus yellow, convex, hollow in the centre; the stem yellow, thickish, and smooth; the juice
yellow, which flows plentifully from it when wounded. It is gathered in September in woods and pastures.
A variety of this is found oa the sea-coast of Cornwall, of a large size, with the button as big as a potatoc ;

the expanded pileus eighteen inches over, the stem as thick as a man's wrist, the gills very pale, the curtain
tough, and thick as leather, and the juice yellowish. A plant of this kind, as Dr. Withering informs us, was
gathered on an old hot-bed in a garden in Birmingham, which weighed fourteen pounds.
Greville says, " A. Georgii derives its name, according to Parkinson, from springing up about the time of
St. George's day. It is unquestionably the largest of the British agarics. It has been known to weigh fourteen
pounds. Mr. Hopkirk mentions one that weighed five pounds six ounces, and measured forty-three inches m
circumference; but Mr. Stackhousc found it to attain the enormous size of eighteen inches in diameter, which
is fifty-four in circumference, having a stem as thick as a man's wrist. The best distinguishing marks are, the
extreme paleness of the lamellae at the peri^xi of the bursting of the veil, compared with the true mushroom ;
the greater convexity and thickness of flesh at the same period ; and shortly afterwards, the more yellowish
and tough pileus."

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
European species is watery and nauseous ; they are therefore not eatable. But in the spice islands, two species '
C. moschocaryanus, which is found on the nutmegs, and C. saguarius, which inhabits the pith of the Sago palm,
are said to be most delicious. C. cinereus is extremely rapid in its growth, attaining perfection and dissolving
in the course of a few hours. At its first appearance, it is covered with the delicate frosted remains of the veil.
2367. Gomphus. So named from their form, from yoy^o;, a club. Large Fungi, scarcely fit for food, with
little taste or smell.
2368. Canthaicllus. An alteration of the French Chantarelle. C. cibarius is one of the best of our eatable
mushrooms. The best way of preserving the plants for use is to string them in rows, after they have become
flaccid, and to hang them in a dry place where they can have plenty of air. They then form a delicious
ingredient in rich gravies, &c
2369. Merulius. A name applied by the ancients to the common morel, Morchella esculenta. Natives of
rotten wood, which they soften and finally destroy. M. lacryraans, the dry rot, is a pest to the wood of dwel-
ling houses, which it speedily destroys. It is said to be destroyed by a wash of diluted sulphuric acid. The
whole plant is generally resupinate, soft, tender, at first very light, cottony and white. When the veins appear,
they are of a fine yellow, orange, or reddish-brown, forming irregular plicae, most frequently so arranged as to
have the appearance of pores, but never any thing like tubes. Sometimes the pileus or substance of the plant,
from its situation, produces pendent processes like inverted cones. " The whole fructification often forms a
circle of 1 — 8 inches in diameter." Except in favorable situations, it does not produce fructification, and
resembles a dry pithy cottony substance, whence it has been called the dry rot. When in a perfect state, its
sinuses contain drops of clear water, which have given rise to the specific name.
2370. Schixophyllum. From <rx'Ja>, to cut, and QulXov, a leaf, in allusion to its lacerated appearance. Found

America, the Antilles, and South America.
2371. Dicdalea. So called from <t» sinuosities, which appear as if arranged with Dcedalean art. Most of the
species grow upon wood. The dried substance of D. quercina is a good styptic. D. suaveolens has, according
to Bolton, a smell like aniseed ; and Liuiutus mentions, that the Laplanders carry it about them when they
visit their mistres-es, in order to render themselves more agreeable. From the powder of the plant is pre-
pared an electuary' which is said to have been used with success in cases of phthisis. The dose from a scruple
to a drachm.
2jiA Poit/porus. From rtkvt, many, and xatat, a pore, on account of the multitude of pores which constitute
its hymenium. P. squamosus is a common species on trunks of willows, oaks, walnuts, &c. From this was
extracted, by Braconnnt, the Fungic acid. It is colorless, does not crystallize, has a verv sour taste, and when
cva|x>rated f dryness, deliquesces upon exposure to the air. The fungates of potash and soda do not C*J lUu-
lize, are ver» soluoie in water, but not in alcohol. The fungate of ammonia crystallizes in regular six-sided
prisms. The tungate of lime is not altered by exposure to the air, and is soluble in about eighteen times its
weight of water at seventy-three degrees.
P. Tuberaster, a species common in Italy, in various parts of the kingdom of Naples, and the Pontifical
states, is held in the highest esteem as an article of Neapolitan cookery. P. annosus, a Swedish species, is
used by the peasantry as a cure for the bite of snakes. Fries says, that he saw the blood which was flowing
from the mouth cf a kid which had been hurt stopped in a short space of time by its application. From P.
dryadeus, the Boletus pseudo-igniarius of Bulliard, Braconnot obtained his Bolctic acid. The coioi jf this
principle is white; it is not altered by exposure to the air, and its crystals are regular four-sided prisms. Its

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
taste is similar to that of tartar. It is soluble in 180 times its weight of water, at a temperature of sixty-eight
degrees, and in forty-five times its weight of alcohol. The aqueous solution reddens vegetable blues. It com-
bines with the different bases forming boletates, which have been but little examined. The boletate of am -
monia crystallizes in flat four-sided prisms, and is soluble in twenty-six times its weight of water at sixty-
eight degrees. The boletate of potash is very soluble in water, and crystallizes with difficulty. The boletate
of lime crystallizes in flat four-sided prisms, and is soluble in about 110 times its weight of water at seventy-
two and a half degrees. Polyporus fomentarius is much used on the continent for making Amadou; also very
generally in the Highlands of Scotland for the same purpose by the shepherds, who manufacture it for them-
selves.

2375. Hydnum. The Greeks had their Chva. and cibvx, tumours, which were analogous to the tubers of the
Romans. H. coralloides is eatable ; so is H. leoninum, a Swedish species. A very extensive genus of fungi,
chiefly found in moist situations upon the trunks of trees. The pileus is furnished on its lower surface with
numerous awl-shaped bodies, which Linnams compares to the prickles of a hedgehog; they are soft, solid,
conical or cylindrical substances, emitting sporules from every part of their surface.
2376. Sistostrema. So named from trtniry/u, part. <rvn?az, compounded, and reiipM, an orifice, in allusion to
the regular rows of pores. Intermediate between the Agarics and Hydna. Gregarious, becoming concrete,
fragile, scentless, white, becoming yellow in age. The pilci are thin, somewhat fragile, from half to one inch

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2382. Spatularia. A very distinct genus, named from its spatutatc form. The only species known is p.n
autumnal epiphyte, common on fallen leaves, decaying mosses, &c. Its color is at first pallid; afterwards it
becomes yellow and ferruginous : but the stipes retains its paler color. It is found in plantations in various
parts of England. In a state of perfect maturity, the head, on being touched, throws up its sporules in the
form of smoke, which rises with elastic force, and glitters in the sunshine like particles of silver.
2383. Mitrula. So called from its mitrate form. The species are small epiphytes with a simple stem.
2384. Typhula. A diminution of Typha, a well-known marsh plant, the heads of fructification of which
this genus resembles in miniature. AH the species are delicate, and are found upon decayed leaves, or even
occasionally upon Sclerotias.
2385. Pistiltaria. So called from its pis/i/-)\ke form. The species are all small, delicate epiphytes, appearing
in the autumn.
2386. Morche/la. A name altered by Dillenius from Morchel, the German name of the plant. Fungi of a
large size, appearing in the spring upon the earth. The eatable morel is one of the most valuable of fungi for
purposes of cookery ; but is more frequently used in a dried state for sauces, than when fresh. It is found in
greatest abundance in places where trees have been burned, which led in Germany to a practice of burning
down masses of forests for the sake of the future morels. This practice proved so injurious, that it became
necessary to suppress it by law. The morel is subject to many variations of figure and color, which are all
referable to four principal forms. But there are also some legitimate species which have been distinguished
by modern botanists. Of these it is not ascertained which are natives of England ; but it is probable, that they
are all to be found if suineiently sought for. Without, therefore, absolutely inserting them in the list of
British species, it cannot be otherwise than useful, considering the importance of an accurate knowledge of the
eatable fungi, to enumerate the two principal in this place.
1. M. Deliciosa is found in the spring, among grass and bushes bv the sides of fields in France, and is said
to be much superior in flavor to the M. esculenta. Its stipes is hollow, and shorter than the pileus, scarcely
ever so much as an inch long, about three or four lines thick, nearly equal in the whole length, but sometimes
thickened and compressed at the base ; under a lens covered with a slight downiness. Pileus is conical-cylin-
drical, from one inch to two inches and an half long, with nearly parallel ribs, which can scarcely be said to

is a soft brown. The flavor is watery and vapid, and in decay becomes so fetid as to be unfit for food. Tins
is found in pine-woods, erpecially in humid placet. It is a rarer kind than the last and like it, appears in the
spring.
M. patula and semilihrra are readily known from the true morels by their pileus not being attached to the
stipes by the base, but altogether separate from it They are distinguished from each other bv the latter
having a much longer it pi -, and a shorter pileus, which is more conical and acute. Ill patula is'considercd
by I rie- to have been ( out. mm led, in Mr. Sowerby's fine work on Fungi, with Helvetia esculenta
BeieeUa. A name employed by Cicero, as the name of a fungus. The species of the modem genus
are permanent, somewhat Iragile fungi, with little odor or taste, but always innocuous. They grow on the
earth or upon \cry wet wood, and are chiefly found in the autumn. H. c'rispa is excellent as' an article of
cookery. H. lacunosa, which is confounded with it, is jy no means so good. H. esculenta has a good flavor,
and is commonly eaten, but is far inferior to Morchella esculenta. Its qualities are nearly the same as those
o| the latter plant, and it is popularly confounded with it under the name, in Sweden, of Stcnmurkla, and In
Germany, ol Gemeine Mon-hei, stump/ MoreM, and fffmlwmiarf H. infula, a large species, with an inflated
imiHith pileus ot various hues of brown, ii also esculent This last plant is the true H. Mitra of Ruppius.and

abandoned altogether in order to avoid further contusion
I'erp.i. An old Horn in name s\ Don J moil's with Phallus, and restored to modern science by Swartz.
The species are meteoric, terrestrial, and Intermediate between the Morels and Leotia. The hymenium is
covered, as is the case with many Hitrati, with a frost-like flocculence, which Swarta mistook for sporuJea, but
v Inch more recent observation has shewn to have been a mistak«

2389. Leotia. Named by Sir John Hill, of famous memory, for no known reason. Gregarious terrestrial
substances of the middle size, appearing in summer or autumn, without smell or taste. They are most nearly
akin to Helvclla and Verpa, from which they differ in form and substance. The species are not known to be
eatable, with the exception of L. amara, a native of Cochin-China, which is capable of being deprived of its
native bitterness by long stewing.

2.190. Pciiza. Pliny had a tribe of Fungi which he Balled Pezica, from which the modern name has tieen
corrupted. The present genus is very extensive, but almost wholly of modern creation. The specie* are (bund
in rarious situations, but chiefly on decayed wood. They are remarkable for their leathery texture, and for
emitting their sporules in the form of smoke from the bottom of their cup.

roots, but not very perishable, growing upon dung, and most obvious during rainy weather.
2592. Bulgaria. An intermediate genus between Peziza and Exidia, named from bulga, a leather bag, nn
account of the saccate form of the species. Scentless, insipid, mucilaginous, rootless, soft fungi, tolerably
permanent, and generally breaking forth in clusters from the bark of trees during the winter and autumn.
Miller is said to have succeeded in obtaining glue from B. inquinans, but subsequent attempts have failed of
success.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2396. Cryptomyces. Upon this curious addition to the British Flora, Dr. Greville has the following remarks
" This very curious plant, I have little hesitation in placing as a new genus among the true Fungi. It is
difficult to say, with what it has nearest affinity. In general habit, it might be supposed to resemble some
species of Thelephora, but there the comparison stops. Our plant, besides being produced under the epidermis,
seems to belong to a more perfect group, when its structure is examined. The hymenium is a quite distinct
substance from that of the receptacle. The fructification is fully and beautifully developed, a good deal similar to
that of the Helvella?. The receptacle is carnose and white ; and the whole exhales a very strong odor, precisely
like what is universally known under the name of a fungus-like smell. Till the plant is perfected, it remains
concealed beneath the epidermis ; and on this account, I have named the genus Cryptomyces. The epidermis,
in fact, scarcely seems to crack by the swelling of the fungus, more than by the natural consequence of being
killed by its separation from the subjacent bark. A cluster of willows, which was attacked in the beginning of
the season by this plant, has been nearly destroyed by it ; and, from the rapidity of its progress, I have no
doubt that a whole plantation might, in the course of a couple of seasons, be rendered good for nothing. At
a little distance, the affected branches look as if they were dry, scorched, and rotten."
2397. Tremella. Large or middle-sized fungi, rooting at the base, which is considerablv contracted between
the bark and the wood ot trees. Dillenius named the genus on account of its soft, tenacious, tremulous sub-
stance, but his name was applied in a far more extensive sense than at present. The section called Phyllopta
is an aberrant form of the genus, and should perhaps be separated.
2398. Exidia. From e?ej/«, to proceed from a thing; with reference to the manner in which the sporidia
exude as it were from their receptacle. This genus differs from Tremella, to which it is nearest, in its hori-
jontal Peziza-hkc receptacle ; in its hymenium being superior, the lower surface being dissimilar and either

resembling some species of I-ccidci.
2401. IhpmmUa. This genus consists of plants growing upon plants, generally upon the stem, having the
habit of Sclerotium durum, but softer, more tender, and bearing sporidla within their surface, Ibr which
reason they seem as if they consisted only of a kind of elementary liymenium, whence their name.

2405. RMzoclonia. Subterraneous fungi, reposing upon the roots of living plants, which they destroy. The
species appear in the summer or autumn, and are very destructive. They have received their name from their
habits ; eiCa, a root, and zraw, to destroy. They are very nearly related to the subterraneous Sclerotia.
R. crocorum grows parasitically on the roots of the cultivated Saffron, Crocus sativus, in France, and is so
pernicious as to have acquired the name of la mort riu safran. It is very destructive, soon causing the bulb to
perish, and spreading with great rapidity over a whole field of that valuable crop, if not speedily stopped by a
trench fifteen to eighteen inches deep, to cut oft' the communication between the infected and the sound
plants. The smallest quantity of earth from an infected field is said to be capable of communicating this
plague, even if the ground were not planted with saffron till twenty years afterwards. " Hitherto this de.
stiuctive parasite has not been heard of but in France. The plants'are of an irregular knobbed figure, from
half an inch to an inch long, of a light reddish brown, scarcely bursting ; granular and paler within. Long
branching capillary roots are sent out in all directions, propagating the plants very extensively and readily by
offsets which attach themselves to the saffron, and multiplying in the substance of the bulbs soon destroy
them." (Smith.)
2446. Periola. From -net, about, and ioXd;, hairiness, in allusion to the appearance the species exhibit when
growing upon the roots of plants, or decaying fungi.

2408. Erysibc. A Greek name of mildew. Most of the productions arranged under this head are known
by the popular name of mildew. They are better characterized by the plants on which they grow, than by
their peculiar differences, which, it is probable, depend very much upon the former circumstance.
Phallus. Large terrestrial fungi, sometimes growing u|khi rotten wood, not clustered, appearing in the

forty plates A very curious plant found only in England, where, however, it is exceeding rare. The volva or
wrapper is about the size of .1 Inn's egg, originally of three slightly coriaceous layers, hollow internally, whnii
a spongy stalk is formed which rises suddenly to its full height of about twelve inches This stalk carries up
on its summit full half the innermost layer of the volva, which is white and smooth within, and coverci

cookery. Dogs are taugnt to find this fungus by the smell, and to scratch it up out )f the earth. An instance
is recorded of a man having possessed this power. It is brought to table either simply boiled, or stewed in
various forms. It is reported to have a stimulating apnrodisiacal quality, which perhaps renders them more
popular than their flavor, which is trifling. Truffles are found under the surface of the ground in various
parts of Europe, where the soil is light and dry ) as well as in Japan and the East Indies. There are said to
be numerous varieties of color.
2412. R/iixopogon. Large or middle-sized Fungi, emerging from the earth, and resembling potatoes ; scarcely
eatable ; but, according to Glcditsch, possessing aphrodisiacal qualities. On the outside covered with netted
corymbose rooting fibres, whence the name, frompi^a, a root, and Tuyoiv, a beard.
2413. Kidularia. A diminution of nidus, a nest. The plants consist of a leathery cup containing several
lenticular bodies supposed to contain sporules, and all together resembling a bird's-nest with eggs.
2414. Myriococcum. From pv^o;, a thousand, and xoz.r.t>;, a little capsule. Related to Sclerotium. The only
species consists of superficial deformed confluent tubercles, 2-4-lines broad, at first sight resembling a white
compound Sphaeria with prominent brown orifices.
2415. Polyangium. Named by Link, from taXu;, many, and ayyiov, a capsule. Easily distinguished from the
last by the internal grumous substance, which Nees and Fries consider unequal sporidia.
2416. Atractobolus. From mr^iww,-, a spindle, and fiaWu, to cast. The bladder which contains the sporules,
is fusiform and closed, and is ejected from the base of the cupule as soon as the operculum is thrown off.
2417. Thelebolus. From brM, a nipple, and |Q»XA«, to emit. The uterus protrudes a globose papilliform

fungi, of a very fugacious nature, inhabiting dung, appearing in the summer and autumn; when lull grown
they resemble species of Mucur, but in a jounger state they are more evidently interwoven, and resemble
Spha-na or Sclcnitiuin.
Mitt Sfhu- robot us. From r;aia, a glol.e, and ,?<*;.;.«. The peridium is double, membranous inside, at length
becoming elastii.dly inverted, and einitt.ng a globose solid sporangium, filled With spondia clustered in the
centre. EpiphytOUS persistent plants, generally appearing in the autumn. S. stellatUS is found in various parts
of Euro|>e in autumn upon rotten wood or branches Of trees, heaps of sawdust, or in the tan-pits of hothouses.
In an early State each plant COBSistS of a pale yellow globe larger than a mustard seed. Several such grow
crowded in patches, bound down as it were by a tine cottony web. Alter a while each plant bursts into
starry rays, and by a momentary exploalon, trajecti to the distance of six or eight inches a whitish globular
Bus* of powdery -ioIs from its internal canty. Sometimes this ball of seeds remains sticking to the points of
the rays. When fallen to I distance, the skin of this ball is found empty, the seeds having Mown out, in its
e, through a hole in its base. [Smith.)

cult of determination. Most of them are highly curious objects when minutely examined, and some even
beautiful. Sphseria militaris is a fine species, about an inch in height, the head being ovate, of a beautiful
scarlet, granulated like orange-peel.
2426. Lophium. So named from Xa?o,-, a little elevation. Differs from Sphseria in being completely evolved,
dehiscent, compressed, without a veil, and having a nucleus crumbling to powder. The plants are very similar
to the valves of a bivalved shell.
2427. Sphurotuema. From erfaiex., a sphere, and vxi/ta, gelatine, in allusion to the round mucous bag in
which the sporules are enclosed. The species are minute innate plants, generally growing on wood, very per-
manent, and often cohering by their base.
2428. Septaria. Growing upon dead leaves, in the form of clouds or spots. Named upon account of the
septa of the sporidia.
2429. Cytispora. From xons, a little chest, and aire^a., a sporule. The species are very common, growing
upon plants, immersed, soft, bearing fruit during damp weather, and even by watering only, within doors. The
most essential character consists not in the cirrhi, common to many fungi, but in the deformed cellular
perithecia, by which it may be easily known in any state.

S431. DothitUa. A genus which has been named from Jo.^/o», a tubercle, and tiSor , similar, and appears to be
very distinct The species are numerous, growing upon plants; many of them arc innate and dark, a few
colored.
. Ithylisma Prom otsnt, a wrinkle. R. corrugatum, the Lichen granifonnis of English botany, is a
gregarious, subcomeous, shining flatfish plant, referred to Lichens by Acharius, but considered by Pries and
Khrenberg to belong to Kungi. It is common upon the crusts of Lichens and upon dry wood.
Phacidium. A name with the same meaning as Dothidea ; from faxn, and uhtf. Intermediate
l»etween Hhuisina and Hysterium, but dillering from both in the manner of dehiscence. The species are
somewhat innate, epiphytous, tolerably permanent, blackish, and with a kernel which becomes sottish.

Atteroma So named by Decan lofle ; but we know not with what meaning. .Many of the substances
referred to tins genus arc believed to be merely young states of various kinds of Dothidea ; some are the black

of the original and only species being always found on old horse-hoofs in shady woody places.
BML Tuiustutna. From mAsr, a wart, and trass*, the mouth, in reference to the nature of the orifice by
which the seeds of this plant are dispersed. T. lniin.de is found on the mossy tops of walls about London in
the winter ami spring It may easily be overlooked for some uncxpanded Agaric.
SMS. Scleroderma. So called from rxkr,f<x, hard and Zi'fut, akin, in allusion to the hardneas of the coat of

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2443. Lycoperdon. So called by Tournefort, from \uxos, a wolf, and Tt^haj, to explode backwards, that author
certainly having improved upon the foolish old name, Crepitus lupi, by making it less generally intelligible.
[Smith.) These are roundish tuber-like plants, when ripe, exploding and emitting the sporules in the form of
smoke, whence country people call the species puff-balls.
2444. Bovista. A name of barbarous origin, having been formed by Dillenius, from the German Bqfist.
Bovista furfuracea, an Italian species, is said by Micheli, to be common on heaths near Florence, where it is
sold with others of its tribe, as an article of food. Bovista gigantea is the largest of the genus, and, indeed, oj
the whole order, measuring not unfrequently nearly 2 feet in diameter. Bulliard mentions having seen many
of eighteen, twenty, and twenty-three inches in diameter, and on the authority of others, affirms them to
attain the enormous bulk of nearly nine feet in circumference. The flesh is at first white, afterwards of a
greenish-yellow, lastly of a brown-grey. The outer peridium cracks and peels offin large flakes on being handled.
2445. Geastrum. So called from ynt, the earth, and «r»j», a star, in allusion to the stellate appearance of the
species when burst and lying on the ground. A genus formed by Micheli upon the Puff-balls with a stellated
volva.
2446- Craterimn. So named from x.^a.rv\«, a cup, in allusion to the form of the peridium, which in C vulgare
is formed like a small goblet. This is a minute subsolitary plant, with the habit of Calicium.

2455. Leucarpus. A word with the same meaning as Leangium ; which see. L. vernicosus appears as -I*
varnished over with vermilion. The plants grow in clusters upon bits of rotten wood, and are each funned of
a pear-shaped stalked peridium, bursting at the end, and letting fall out a nucleus of sporulc* held together by
fibres.
2456. Lycogala. Prom Xvx.o;, a wolf, and yaXa, milk, a genus of fungi whose internal appearance and sub-
stance in an early state are like a mass of thick cream. It is included under Mucor by Linnaus, Schreber, and
others. L. argenteuin is found upon rotten wood in the autumn. It is about an inch or more in diameter,
brown and pulpy when young, of a brilliant white when arrived at maturity, discharging, by one or more
irregular accidental openings, a mass of rich dark snuft-colured powder.
2457. Spumaria. From spuma, froth. S. mucilago is spread in the autumn over the leaves and stems Bf
living plants, or over dead branches, when it resembles in some measure stiffened foam or froth.
2458. Dichosporium. From Ji£«, double, and trx-ogee, a seed ; in allusion, we presume, to the double coat of
the peridium, the innermost of which is formed of granules like sporules. The only species known is found
upon the bark of the oak.
21-59. Licca. The meaning of this word is unexplained. The species have been referred to Trichia, Didy.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2466. Isari.t. From lira;, equal, on account, perhaps, of the equality which exists among the filaments of the
plants both in size and length.
2467. Stitbum. From ?iX$x, shining. The species are all found upon, old rotten wood, and are at first
watery or gelatinous, but become opake and turbid as they ripen.
2468. Torvta. A diminutive of thorus or torus, a bed. This plant forms a thick compact bed or layer upon
the plants on which it grows.
2469. Monilia. From monile, a necklace, with reference to the peculiar manner in which the filaments are
articulated.
2470. Racodium. Paxitn was the name among the Greeks for a worthless worn-out ragged garment ; and
has been applied to the present genus, in allusion to the dirty interwoven cloth-like substance with which it
clothes whatever it grows upon. R cellare is the black substance which overruns the bottles of the wine
merchant, and which often hanps in lone thick festoons from the sides and roof of his cellars.
2471. Dematium. A diminutive of Siuuc, a bundle or parcel. The filamentous thallus is often collected
into bundles.
2472. Cladosporium. From xXainf, a branch, because the sporules are attached to the branches of the
fungi.
2+73. Helicosporium. From helix, a spiral, in allusion to the manner in which the sporules are curved.

or diverge from a common centre. This genus has been extracted from Dematium by Link.
2475. Rhhjymorpha. So called from its resemblance to the branching fibrous roots of various pl-mis. All
the productions referred to this genus are very obscure and uncertain. R. phosphorea, the CUvaria phcephorea
of Sowerby, is a plant sometimes existing as a panu tc between the wood and bark of trees, or in wine-cellar*
among saw-dust, and is, when fresh, remarkably luminous in the dark.
2476. Sepedonium. From rr,irii*», putrescence. The species grow among the decaying parts of fungi, and
other putrid substances.
2477. Acremonium. From «*»!,«*», a branch ; the theca? are produced about the filaments in fascicles, as
branches are about trees.
247^. Sporoirichum. From rro%a., and >;ij, hair, in allusion to the filamentous nature of the sporules. A
very destructive parasite in some seasons, and probably of general distribution, for it has been detected nn a
great viriety of plants. To gardeners it is well known as a kind of mildew or blight, anil is commonly taken
for an insect. The leaves of the peach-tree*, even when protected by glass, are often attacked by it, nor does
the fruit itself always escape, in which case it frequently drops off The leaves ..re more <>r less distorted by-
it. As its production is probably the result if a peculiar state of the atmosphere, there is little change o» any
means being discovered for its prevention.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2489. Fusarium. The sporules are remarkable for their regukxr fusiform figure.
2490. Exosporium. So called by Link, from i|, on the outside, and «-t«;o?, a sporule ; on account of their
external situation. Entire plant about one-third of a line in diameter, rarely larger, very gregarious, deep
black, convex, bursting from beneath the epidermis, and appearing bristly under a pocket magnifier. Sporidia
very crowded, elongated, obtuse at the apex, subopake, divided transversely about five times, fixed at the
base upon a roundish dark-colored, solid receptacle, and there persistent.
2491. Fusidium. A name with the same meaning as Fusarium.
2492. Polythrincium. From xoXvs, many, and 3-eiyzo;, a little division. To the naked eye, this little plant
appears in the form of numerous minute black spots of unequal size. Under the microscope, these spots are
each found to consist of a number of distinct little roundish tufts of filaments, nearly equidistant from one
another, and becoming smaller towards the circumference. The filaments are densely crowded, semitrans-
parent, gradually thickening upwards, somewhat moniliform from the numerous articulations, erect, simple;
the sporidia oval, two-celled, scattered among the filaments.
2493. Stilbospora. From nX^u, to shine, and c-xofot, a sporule Asci or sporules naked, imbedded in a black
substance flowing from the branches of trees.

and Miscellaneous Particulars.
From rrcfix, a sporule, and ii^^x, a skin, or coat
16629
A plant of a very simple
structure, composed entirely of linear-oblong or club-shaped semi-opake bodies, closely arranged side
by side, exactly of the same height, and transversely divided by three or four dissepiments. When
viewed with the naked eye, it resembles an intensely black thin crust, creeping over the surface of
Thelephora. Specimens from Captain Carmichael, as well as those found by Dr. Greville, occurred on Thele-
phora vulgaris
2495. tietmatpora. From rr/*«, a thread, and <tto««, a sporule. The species resemble distorted threads filled
with minute s|>orules.
2496. Cyiindrosporium. In allusion to the cylindrical form of the sporules. Found on both surfaces of living
cabbage leaves (.Brassica oleracca). Frequent in May and June. A very extraordinary plant, forming minute
speck-like heaps of an oblong shape, but otherwise very irregular, and projecting into little angles and pro-
cesses. They are disposed in a concentric manner, are pure white, and change in decay to a dirty yellow.
Sporules naked, very numerous, cylindrical, truncate at each extremity, pellucid.
2497. Vredo. An old I^atin name, from uro, to burn or scorch, applied to those occasional discoloration! of
the surfaces of plints which were attributed to blasts or injuries of the atmosphere or heavenly bodies, and are

coloured streaks, which afterwards assume a deep chocolate-brown colour. The little plants chiefly attack the
parenchyma, immediately below the stomata with which the cuticle abounds. Each individual is so small,
that any stoma on a straw will, according to Sir Joseph Banks, produce from twenty to forty fungi, and
every oiie of them will, no doubt, produce at least one hundred reproductive particles ; so that the progeny
from a single stoma will be enough to infect a whole plant. The period of a generation is supposed not to
exceed a week; and as the reproductive particles are exceedingly light, they are wafted aloft in the air,
which is thus loaded with clouds of animated dust, ready upon the first favourable occasion to carry blight
and disease into all the neighbourhood. The figures which illustrate this subject are copies of Mr. Bauer's
illustrations of blight, published in 1805 by Sir Joseph Banks, a (preceding page), a piece of infected wheat
stem, natural size; b, a highly magnified longitudinal cutting of the same; c ton, highly magnified repre-
sentations of the Puccinia graminis in various states ; o, a piece of the cuticle magnified, and showing the
stomata; p, a highly magnified transverse cutting of the straw ; q, a magnified representation of the outside
of the straw ; r, a very highly magnified representation of a part of the same.
The alarming state of the harvest of August 180+, from what is vulgarly called blight, induced Sir Joseph
Banks to have some blighted stalks of wheat examined under a powerful microscope, and drawings made
from them by Mr. Francis Bauer. These were published in a pamphlet in January 1805, the object of which,
as we are informed in the advertisement, was to procure " actual observations on the origin and progress of
the disease" from those " intelligent agriculturists, whose residence in the country enables them daily to
examine, not only the progress of their crops, but the origin and advances also of all those obstacles which
nature has opposed to the success of agricultural labours, as if to awaken the energies of reason, and to
reward the farmer for the exertions of his intellectual faculties, by the satisfaction of surmounting them."
As we have here a space that would otherwise be unoccupied, we cannot do better than to fill it up by
transcribing the whole of the pamphlet alluded to, there being still ample room for " actual observations " on
that baneful disease.
" Botanists have long known that the blight in corn is occasioned by the growth of a minute parasitic
fungus or mushroom on the leaves, stems, and glumes of the living plant. Felice Fontana published, in the
year 1767, an elaborate account of this mischievous weed », with microscopic figures which pive a tolerable
idea of its form ; more modern botanists f have given figures both of corn and of grass affected by it, but
have not used high magnifying powers in their researches.
" Agriculturists do not appear to have paid, on this head, sufficient attention to the discoveries of their
fellow- labourers in the field of nature ; for though scarcely any English writer of note on the subject of rural
economy has failed to state his opinion of the origin of this evil, no one of them has yet attributed it to the
real cause, unless Mr. Kirby's excellent papers on some diseases of corn, published in the Transactions of the
Linnean Society, are considered as agricultural essays.
" On this account it has been deemed expedient to offer, to the consideration of farmers, engravings of this
destructive plant, made from the drawings of the accurate and ingenious Mr. Bauer, botanical painter to His
Majesty, accompanied with his explanation, from which it is presumed an attentive reader will be able to
form a correct idea of the facts intended to be represented, and a just opinion whether or not they are, as is
presumed to be the case, correct and satisfactory.
"In order, however, to render Mr. Bauer's explanation more easy to be understood, it is necessary to premise,
that the striped appearance of the surface of a straw, which may be seen with a common magnifying glass, is
caused by alternate longitudinal partitions of the bark, the one imperforate, and the other furnished with one
or two rows of pores or mouths, shut in dry, open in wet weather, and well calculated to imbibe fluid whenever
the straw is damp. Pores or mouths similar to these are placed by nature on the surface of the leaves,
branches, and steins of all perfect plants, a provision intended, no doubt, to compensate, in some measure, the
want of locomotion in vegetables. A plant cannot when thirsty go to the brook and drink, but it can open
innumerable orifices, for the reception of every degree of moisture which either falls in the shape of rain
and of dew, ot is separated from the mass of fluid always held in solution by the atmosphere; it seldom

happens in the driest season, that the night does not aflbrd some refreshment of this kind, to restore the moisture
that has been exhausted by the heats of the preceding day. By these pores, which exist also on the leaves and
glumes, it is presumed that the seeds of the fungus gain admission, and at the bottom of the hollows to which
they lead k6 p they germinate and push their minute roots, no doubt (though these have not yet been traced),
into the cellular texture beyond the bark, where they draw their nourishment by intercepting the 6ap that
was intended by nature for the nutriment of the grain ; the corn, of course, becomes shrivelled in proportion
as the fungi are more or less numerous on the plant; and as the kernel only is extracted from the grain,
while the cortical part remains undiminished, the proportion of flour to bran, in blighted corn, is always
reduced in the same degree as the corn is made light Some corn of this year's crop will not yield a stone of
flour from a sack of wheat ; and it is not impossible, that in some cases the corn has been so completely robbed
of its flour by the fungus, that if the proprietor should choose to incur the expense of thrashing and grind-
ing it, bran would be the produce, with scarcely an atom of flour for each grain.
" Every species of corn, properly so called, is subject to the blight ; but it is observable tnat spring corn is
less damaged by it than winter, and rye less than wheat, probably because it is ripe and cut down before tho
fungus has had time to increase in any large degree. Tull says, ' that white core, or bearded white, which has its
straw like a rush full of pith, is less subject to blight than lammas white, which ripens a week later.' (See
page 74.) The spring wheat of Lincolnshire was not in the least shrivelled this year, though the straw was in
some degree infected : the millers allowed ♦hat it was the best sample brought to market. Barley was in some
E laces considerably spotted, but as the whole of the stem of that grain is naturally enveloped in the hose or
asis of the leaf, the fungus can in no case gain admittance to the straw ; it is, however, to be observed, that
barley rise* from the flail lighter this year than was expected from the appearance of thje crop when
gathered in.
" Though diligent enquiry was made during the last autumn, no information of importance relative to the
origin or the progress of the blight could be obtained : this is not to be wondered at, for as no one of the
persons applied to have any knowledge of the real cause of the malady, none of them could direct their
curiosity in a proper channel. Now that its nature and cause have been explained, we may reasonably expect
that a few years will produce an interesting collection of facts and observations, and we may hope that some
progress will be made towards the very desirable attainment of either a preventive or a cure.
" It seems probable that the leaf is first infected in the spring, or early in the summer, before the corn
shoots up into straw, and that the fungus is then of an orange colour ; alter the straw has become yellow,
the fungus assumes a deep chocolate brown : each individual is so small, that every pore on a straw will pro-
duce from twenty to forty fungi, as may be seen in the plates, and every one of these will, no doubt, produce
at least one hundred seeds ; if then, one of these seeds tillers out into the number of plants that appear at
the bottom of a pore [b pj, how incalculably large must the increase be ! A few diseased plants scattered
over a field must speedily infect a whole neighbourhood, for the seeds of fungi are not much heavier than air,
as every one who has trod upon a ripe putf-ball must have observed, by seeing the dust, among which is its
seed, rise up and float on before him.
" How long it is before this fungus arises at puberty and scatters its seed in the wind, can only be guessed
at by the analogy of others; probably the period of a generation is short, possibly not more than a week in a
hot season : if so, how frequently in the latter end of the summer must the air be loaded as it were with this
animated dust, re'ady whenever a gentle breeze, accompanied with humidity, shall give the signal, to intrude
itself into the pores of thousands of acres of corn. Providence, however, careful of the creatures it has
created, has benevolently provided against the too extensive multiplication of any species of being; m it
otherwise, the minute plants and animals, enemies against which man has the fewest means of defence, would
increase to an inordinate extent This, however, can in no case happen, unless many predisposing causes
afford their combined assistance. But for this wise and beneficent provision, the plague of slugs, the plague
of mice, the plagues of grubs, wircworins, chafers, ani many other creatures whose power of multiplying is
count! Is. of the sea, would long before this time have driven mankind and all the larger animals
from the face of the earth.
" Though all old persons who have concerned themselves in agriculture remember the blight in corn many
years, yet some have supposed that of late years it has materially increased ; this, however, docs not seem to
be the case Tull, in his //< rmJtoeimm Hinbandnj, p. 7+., tells us that the year 17.15 ' was a year of blight,
the like oi which was never before heard of, and which he hopes may never happen again;' yet the average

the five years of which it makes the first, 37s. 'id. : 1797 was also a year of great blight; the price of wheat,
ill 1798, was 49s. Id., and the average of the five years, from 1795 to 1799, 63s. 5rf.
"The climate of the British isles is not the only one that is liable to the blight in corn; it happens
occasionally in every part of Europe, and probably in all countries where corn is grown. Italy is very subject
to it, and the last harvest of Sicily has been materially hurt by it Specimens received from the colony of
New South Wales show that considerable mischief was done to the wheat crop there, in the year 1803. by a
parasitic plant very similar to the English one.
" It has been long admitted by farmers, though scarcely credited by botanists, that wheat in the neighbour,
hood of a barberry bush seldom escapes the blight. The village of Rollesby in Norfolk, where barberries
abound and wheat seldom succeeds, is called by the opprobrious appellation of mildew Rollesby. Some
observing men have of late attributed this very perplexing effect to the farina of the flowers of the barberry,
which is in truth yellow, and resembles in some degree the appearance of the rust, or what is presumed to be
the blight in its early state.
" It is, however, notorious to all botanical observers, that the leaves of the barberry are very subject to the
attack of a yellow parasitic fungus, larger, but not otherwise different from the rust in corn.
" Is it not more than possible, that the parasitic fungus of the barberry and that of wheat are one and the
same species, and that the seed is transferred from the barberry to the corn ? Mistletoe, the parasit.c plant
with which we are the best acquainted, delights most to grow on the apple and hawthorn, but it flourishes
occasionally on trees widely differing in their nature from both of these: in the Home Park, at Windsor,
mistletoe may be seen in abundance on the lime trees planted there in avenues. If this conjecture is well
founded, another year will not pass without its being confirmed by the observations of inquisitive and
sagacious farmers.
" It would be presumptuous to offer any remedy for a malady, the progress of which is so little understood ;
conjectures, however, founded on the origin here assigned to it, may be hazarded without offence.
" It is believed, but not dogmatically asserted (because Fontana, the best writer on the subject, asserts that
the yellow and dark coloured blight are different species of fungi), to begin early in the spring, and first to
appear on the leaves of wheat in the form of rust, or orange-coloured powder ; at this season, the fungus will,
in all probability, require as many weeks for its progress from infancy to puberty as it does days during the
heats of autumn ; but a very few plants of wheat thus infected are quite sufficient, if the fungus is permitted
to ripen its seed, to spread the malady over a field, or indeed, over a whole parish.
" The chocolate-coloured blight is little observed till the corn is approaching very nearly to ripeness ; it
appears then in the field in spots, which increase very rapidly in size, and are in calm weather somewhat
circular, as if the disease took its origin from a central position.
" May it not happen, then, that the fungus is brought into the field in a few stalks of infected straw uncor-
rupted among the mass of dung laid in the ground at the time of sowing ? It must be confessed, however,
that the clover leys, on which no dung from the yard was used, were as much infected last autumn as the
manure crops. The immense multiplication of the disease in the last season seems however to account for
this ; as the air was no doubt frequently charged with seed for miles together, and deposited it indiscriminately
on all sorts of crops.
" It cannot, however, be an expensive precaution to search diligently in the spring for young plants ot
wheat infected with the disease, and carefully to extirpate them, as well as all grasses, for several are subject
to this or a similar malady, which have the appearance of orange-coloured or black stripes on their leaves, or
on their straw ; and if experience shall prove that uncorrupted straw can carry the disease with it into the
field, it will cost the farmer but little precaution to prevent any mixture of fresh straw from being carried out
with his rotten dung to the field.
" In a year like the present, that offers so fair an opportunity, it will be useful to observe attentively
whether cattle in the straw yard thrive better or worse on blighted or on healthy straw. That blighted straw,
retaining on it the fungi that have robbed the corn of its flour, has in it more nutritious matter than clean
straw which has yielded a crop of plump grain, cannot be doubted ; the question is whether this nutriment
m the form of fungi does or can be made to agree as well with the stomachs of the animals that consume it, as
it would do in that of straw and corn.
" It cannot be improper in this place to remark, that although the seeds of wheat are rendered, by the
exhausting power of the fungus, so lean and shrivelled that scarcely any flour fit for the manufacture of bread
can be obtained by grinding them, these very seeds will, except, perhaps, in the very worst cases, answer the
purpose of seed-corn as well as the fairest and plumpest sample that can be obtained, and in some respects
better; for as a bushel of much blighted corn will contain one third at least more grains in number than a
bushel of plump corn, three bushels of such corn will go as far in sowing land, as four bushels of large grain.
Eighty grains of the most blasted wheat ot the last year that could be obtained, were sown in pots in the
hot-houses ; of these, seventy-eight produced healthy plants, a loss of 10 per cent only.
" The use of the flour of corn in furthering the process of vegetation is to nourish the minute plant from the
time of its developement till its roots are able to attract food from the manured earth ; for this purpose, one
tenth of the contents of a grain of good wheat is more than sufficient. The quantity of flour in wheat has
been increased by culture and management calculated to improve its qualities for the benefit of mankind, in
the same proportion as the pulp of apples and pears has been increased, by the same means, above what is
found on the wildings and crabs in the hedges.
" It is customary to set aside or purchase for seed-corn, the boldest and plumpest samples that can be
obtained; that is, those that contain the most flour; but this is unnecessary waste of human subsistence ;
the smallest grains, such as are sifted out before the wheat is carried out to market, and either consumed in
the farmer's family or given to his poultry, will be found by experience to answer the purpose of propagating
the sort from whence they sprung as effectually as the largest.
" Every ear of wheat is composed of a number of cups placed alternately on each piece of the straw ; the
lower ones contain, according to circumstances, three or four grains, nearly equal in size, but towards the top
of the ear, where the quantity of nutriment is diminished by the more ample supply of those cups that are
nearer the root, the third or fourth grain in a cup is frequently defrauded of its proportion, and becomes
shrivelled and small. These small grains which are rejected by the miller, because they do not contain flour
enough for his purpose, have, nevertheless, an ample abundance for all purposes of vegetation, and as fully
partake of the sap, ' or blood, as we should call it in animals,' of the kind which produced them, as the
fairest and fullest grain that can be obtained from the bottoms of the lower cups, by the wasteful process of
beating the sheaves."

with opposite entire stipulate leaves, and a monopetaloussuperior corolla, are also Rubiaceous ; if a fragment
of the leaves and stem only of such a plant were afterwards submitted to him for examination, he would
recognise its affinities, and remember that it was Rubiaceous, and being aware of that fact, he would be able
safely to infer that its calyx and corolla would be of a particular nature, that if the roots afforded any color
for dying, it would be red ; that the medicinal properties of the bark, if any, would be tonic, astringent, and
febrifugal, and that its seeds would be of the same nature as those of coffee, and finally, its geographical
position would be tolerably certain to him.
The really important obstacle which exists in the way of acquiring this kind of knowledge, is undoubtedly
the want of any introduction to the study of it, accompanied by the distribution and characters o'f the
natural orders into which plants are divided. It is to be hoped that English readers at least will not long
have to regret this deficiency in their elementary works. In this place, it must suffice to point out the
characters upon which the great divisions depend, under which the orders themselves are arranged ; and it is
to be hoped, that even this small aid will be found to smooth the way, and to remove some of the obstacles
that at present are supposed to exist at the very threshold of the temple.
Plants considered with reference to their general structure, are separated into two grand divisions called
Cellulares and Vasculares.
The Cellulares answer to the Linnsan Cryptogamia, and are also called Acotyledonous ; the Vasculare*
answer to the rest of the Linnjean system, which is sometimes called Phanerogamia and Cotyledonous.

Cellulares, Cryptogamous, or Acotyledonous plants are all, therefore, different terms denoting the same
combination of vegetables. The first term is here adopted in preference to the others as expressing the most
obvious character upon which the division depends, namely, the cellular, not vascular, structure of the plants
composing it. Cellular plants are formed entirely of cellular tissue (Jig. 1.), without woody fibre or spiral
vessels; or in more familiar terms by having no veins in their leaves if foliaceous, and not forming wood;
they also are destitute of perfect flowers. The lower tribes, such as Fungi and Alga?, are destitute of leaves,
and in some points approach the animal kingdom so nearly as to be scarcely distinguishable. In the highest
tribe, Ferns, apparent veins are formed in the leaves; but as they are imperfectly supplied with spiral
vessels, they cannot be considered more than analogous to the veins of other plants. Perns, however, hold
the intermediate station between Cellulares and Vasculares, and are chiefly retained among the former on
account of their perfect accordance in other respects. In the whole of Acotyledones, it is unnecessary to
examine the seed for the purpose of determining whether it has one cotyledon, several cotyledons, or none,
the structure of the perfect plant giving the most obvious and satisfactory evidence.

Vascixarbs, PHSNOGAMOirs, or CoTVLBDONOus plants, are also separated into two great classes called
Endogenes or Monncotyledones, and Kxogencs or Dicotyledones, both which are distinguished as accurately
by their obvious physical structure as they are by the minute and obscure peculiarities of the seed. They arc
all formed with cellular tissue, woody fibre, and spiral vessels Ji *,'.-' .), and their leaves are traversed by veins;
the last character is sufficient for practical purposes, if it is remembered that they also bear perfect flowers,
(that is, flowers furnished either with stamina, or pistillum, or both,) which will always prevent their being
confounded with the highest tribes of Cellulares.

Endogenes, or Monocotyledonous plants, are the first remove from Cellulares, and hold an intermediate rank
between them and Eiogenes or Dicotyledonous plants, in which vegetation acquires its highest form of deve-
lopment. They were formerly characterised by having a single cotyledon, but this circumstance is not only
not absolute but difficult of determination, except after minute analysis. The real difference in the seed of
them and Dicotyledones is this, that in Monocotyledones there is only one Cotyledon {fig. :i. s) ; or, if two, that
they are alternate with each other {(), while in Dicotyledones they are always opposite, and more than one,
sometimes several, as in Pinus {fig. 4. y). The physiological structure of the two classes is, however, that by
which they are familiarly distinguished, and exhibits a beautiful proof of the harmony that exists between the
great features of vegetation and their first principle, the seed from which they originate. In Endogenes, or
Monocotyledones, there is no distinction between wood and bark {fig 3. q) ; in Exogenes, or Dicotyledones, the
wood and bark are distinctly separated {fig. 4. v). In Monocotyledones tlie wood and cellular tissue are mixed
together without any distinct annual layers of the former being evident; in Dicotyledones the wood and
cellular tissue have each their particular limits assigned them, a distinct layer of the former being annually
deposited. In Monocotyledones there are no radiations from the medulla to the bark ; in Dicotyledones the
radiations are distinctly marked. In Monocotyledones there is generally no articulation between the leaves
and the stem, while in Dicotyledones the leaves are always jointed with the stem from which they fall off,
leaving a scar behind. In Monocotyledones the veins of the leaf pass in parallel lines from the base to the apex,
in Dicotyledones they diverge from the midrib towards the margin at various angles; in the former they are
unbranched, the principal veins being connected by nearly simple secondary veins ; in the latter they are much
branched, ramifying in many directions, and giving the surface of the leaf a netted appearance.

Such are the very obvious distinctions of the two great classes of Phamogamous, or flowering, plants ; and
so far is it from there being any necessity for dissecting a seed in order to ascertain its structure, that this
point is one of the most easy determination, and about which there cannot be in one case in five hundred the
slightest cause of doubt or difficulty. It is almost im|x>ssib'.e to take even a morsel of a plant in the band
without instantly being in possession of the knowledge of the structure of its seed, with respect to the
cotyledons.
Thus far have we advanced without a single obstacle to impede us. In all farther investigation no greater
degree of knowledge or application is requisite than what ought to be possessed by every one who would be
able to ascertain the genus of a plant. Manv of the orders do not depend upon the minute characters of the
seed so much as is believed ; the structure of the ovarium and |>osition of the ovula, are aid- which frequently
make amends for the absence of fruit: and the nature of the foliage and inflorescence are guides which,
though sometimes treacherous, are often as faithful as the fructification itself. But as it is not intended to
give the characters of the orders in this place, neither is it necessary to advance farther in an explanation of
the manner of determining them ; upon that point each order would require a particular note. It may, how-
10M NATURAL ARRANGEMENT.
ever, be confidently believed, that there are no greater impediments in the road to an acquaintance with the
natural relations of plants than those that have been already removed ; and that although neither the science
of botany, nor any other science, is to be taken by storm, yet that the fortress is sure to be reduced by silent
and patient approach.
It only remains to explain briefly upon what principles the names of the orders, suborders, &c. are formed.
It is usual, in the school of Jussieu, to give to a natural order a name derived from that of the genus which is
understood to be the type of the order; as Ranunculaceae from Ranunculus, Rosacea? from Rosa, and so on.
But several deviations from this principle had been admitted by Jussieu, in favor of certain groups of plants,
long known by other popular names, derived from certain peculiarities ; such as Labiatae, because their co-
rollas are labiate ; Compositae, because their flowers are what is commonly called compound ; Guttifcrae, on
account of the resinous juice in which they abound, and some others. It would, perhaps, have been better,
if uniformity in nomenclature had not thus been sacrificed to a dread of innovation ; but it is now too late to
remedy the evil, if such it be ; nor would the advantage of alteration be at this day equivalent to the inconve-
nience. For the purpose of making it at once apparent, whether, in speaking of a group of plants, reference
is had to an order or a suborder, it has of late years been thought convenient to terminate the name of the
natural order in acene, and of the suborder in ece. Thus, in speaking of the whole mass of which Ranunculus
is the representative, the word Ranuncul<jce<s is used ; but in speaking of the particular division, or suborder,
of which Ranunculus forms a part, the term Ranuncule« is employed. This manner of speaking is, however,
at present, very partial in its application, and is of little importance, except in a few cases, of which Ranuncu-
laceae is one of the most striking examples. In those orders, the titles of which, necessarily, from their gram-
matical construction, end in ece, as Orchideae, it is obviously inapplicable, without a total change in a great
part of the nomenclature of natural orders, a measure which cannot be too much deprecated.
It may, perhaps, be finally expected, that these remarks should be concluded by a recommendation of some
work, from which those who are anxious to become fully acquainted with the principles and distinguishing
characters of the Natural System of Botany, may derive the necessary information. Unfortunately, however,
such a work has at present no existence. M. Decandolle's Theorie E'lementaire de la Botanique explains the
principles upon which the orders of plants are constituted ; and M. de Jussieu's Genera Plantarum contains
their characters, as determined in 1789 : but the latter is now too obsolete to be very useful to the tyro. In
our own language, the only work that can be consulted upon the subject with advantage, is the Flora Scotica
of Professor Hooker, in which the characters of the natural orders of Scottish plants are concisely indicated
by Mr. Lindley. We understand a work upon the subject is in preparation by the latter gentleman, by which
this great desideratum in the science of Botany will be supplied. It maybe expected to appear in the
course of 1829, previously to which, however, the division Botany, in the forthcoming Encyclopaedia of Na-
tural History will have been published, in which much information may be expected upon this important
subject.
I. VASCULARES.
Class I. DICOTYLEDONES.
Subdivision I. DICHLA5IYDEJE.
This subdivision comprehends all the Dicotyledonous plants, that have both a calyx and corolla, by which
they are distinguished from Monoehlamydea?, in which the calyx only exists. It is in consequence of this
high developement of the floral envelopes, that the greater part of flowering trees and shrubs are found in
Dichlamydeae, it rarely happening that those with a single floral covering only have any brilliant coloring.
Sibclass I. THALAMIFLOR.E.
Petals inserted into the receptacle.
The insertion of the petals and stamens into the receptacle is the great character of this subclass, which,
therefore, contains all the polyandrous plants of Linnaeus, as the Calyciflorae contain the icosandrous genera of
the same botanist.
Section 1. Carpella numerous, or stamens opposite the petals.
Ordeh I. ranunculace;e.
The greater part of the plants of this order are objects of interest with gardeners, containing, as it does, many
of the most elegant or showy of the tribes of hardy plants. It is here that the graceful Clematis, the lowly
Anemone, the glittering Ranunculus, and the gaudy Paeony are found ; differing, indeed, in external appear-
ance, but combined by all the essential characters of the fructification. It is remarkable, however, that the acrid
and venomous properties of these plants are nearly as powerful as their beauty is great They are all caustic,
and in many of them the deleterious principle is in dangerous abundance. M. Decandolle remarks, that
its nature is extremely singular ; it is so volatile, that, in most cases, simple drying in the air or infusion in
water is sufficient to destroy it : it is neither acid nor alkaline ; but its activity is increased by acids, honey,
sugar, wine, or alcohol ; and it is, in reality, destructible only by water. The crowfoots of our European pas-
tures, and the Anem6nes trilobata and triternata, of those of South America, are well known poisons of cattle.
Blistering plasters are made in Iceland of the leaves of Ranunculus acris. The foliage of some species of
Clematis is supposed to afford the means employed by beggars of producing artificial ulcers. Some of the
Aconites are diuretic, especially Napcllus and Cainmarum. Delphinium Consulidais said to be an ingredient
in those French cosmetics which are so destructive of the surface of the skin. The Helleborus, famous in
classical history for its drastic powers, and the Nigella, celebrated in ancient housewifery for its aromatic seeds,
which were used for pepper before that article was discovered, are both comprehended in Ranunculaceae. The
range of this order, in a geographical point of view, is very extensive. A great number has been discovered in
Europe, but they are so abundant in all parts of the world that an order can scarcely be found more universally
and equally dispersed. It is singular, that, with the exception of the climbing species of Clematis and of Xail-
thorhiza, scarcely an instance occurs in Ranunculaceae of a shrubby stem.

for polishing works of metal.

No one is Ignorant of the grandeur of Magnolias, or of the delicious, though sometimes dangerous, fragrance
of their blossoms ; but it is less generally known, that, from their affinity to the trees that produce the famous
Winter's bark and Melambo bark, they possess medicinal qualities of no common power. The bark of all of
them is said to have a bitter flavor without any astringency, and combined with a hot aromatic principle. In
the United States, the bark of Magnolia glafica and Liriodendron tulipifera, is employed for the same purposes
as Jesuit's bark, and from the fruit of Magnolia acuminata, a tincture is prepared which has some reputation
for removing attacks of rheumatism. The fruit of lllicium anisatum, is the material which flavors the liqueur
called Anisette de Bourdeaux. The Magnolias are exclusively inhabitants of Asia and America, no species
having hitherto been found either in Europe or in Africa.

Order IV. ANNONACE.E.
The plants of this order are closely allied to Magnnliacea?, from which they are principally distinguished by
the absence of stipuls, and by the structure of their anthers and seeds. The latter consist of a hard mass of
albumen, ruminated, as the botanist* call it, that is to say, perforated by the substance of the seed-coat, in
every direction. They are all trees or shrubs, and chiefly inhabitants of the hottest parts of the tropics, but a
few have been discovered straggling into the temperate zones of America. The fruit of the Annona is in
many species highly esteemed as an article for the dessert, especially that of the Cherimoyer, which has the
reputation of being the finest fruit in the world, next to the Mangosteen. The hard fruits of the species of
Uvaria are highly aromatic ; those of one of them furnish the Piper aethiopicuin of the shops. The genus
Asimina is the only one which contains any hardy species, and these are so delicate as to be seen very rarely
in this country. In Brazil, the bark of Xylopia sericea is used for cordage; for which it is admirably
adapted.

Order V. MENISPERME.E.
The order of Menispermea? consists entirely of twining shrubs with minute flowers. They are ex-
tremely dissimilar in habit from the orders which are placed near them, and occupy their present station
entirely on account of certain minute but important characters in their fructification. With the exception of
Schizandra coccinea none of them are worth cultivating as plants of ornament. The berries of Lardizabala
biternata are sold in the markets of Chile, under the name of Aguilboquil, Guilbogui, or Coguill-I'ochi, according
to different travellers. The bitter, diuretic, and aperient sorts of Pareira brava, are produced by a species ot
Menispermum, as is also the famous Columbo root, so much esteemed for its intense bitterness, and for its
use in diarrhoea and dysentery. The poisonous drug, called Cocculus indicus in the shops, is the seed of Meni.
spermum Cocculus. Several Brazilian species of Cocculus are said to possess powerful febrifugal properties.
No species of Menispermeae is found in Europe ; they are chiefly natives of tropical America and Asia.

Order VI. BERBERIDEJE.
With the exception of Btrberis this order does not contain any genus of much interest ; most of the others
are low, inconspicuous, herbaceous plants ; Nandina is an elegant Japanese shrub. The Berberises are all
shrubs of much beauty and interest, especially the species with pinnated leaves, which are sometimes called
Mahonias. These are all inhabitants either of Europe, Asia, or North and South America ; none have ever
been seen in Africa or New South Wales. Many of the finest species from Chile and India yet remain to be
introduced. The berries of the Berberises are acid and astringent ; the latter quality is especially abundant
in the stem and bark.

Order VIII. HYDROPELTIDE.E.
This order differs from Nympha?acea? chiefly in having a definite number of seeds. It consists of only two
genera, each containing a single species. Both are little floating plants of tropical and northern America.
Nothing is known of their properties.
1240 Hydropeltis H. K.
Order IX. NYMPH.EACEJE.
Like the last, these are all floating plants, and, to gardeners, possessed of great interest, on account of the
elegant form and various hues of their flowers Three species are known as the lilies of our own streams and
ponds, and the remainder occupy similar stations in other countries. Some of the Indian species of Nymphae'a
are delightfully fragrant The holy Cyamus, or Pythagorean bean of antiquity, is the produce of the Nelum-
bium, a stately aquatic, which abounds in all the hotter countries of the East, where its roots are frequently
used as an article of food. The ditches, about Pekin and other Chinese cities, are literally choaked up
with its abundance. The pcricarpia or beans are oblong, hard, smooth bodies, and possess the power of vege-
tating after having been dried for even thirty years. The flowers and roots of the common white Nymphae'a
have been long celebrated for their sedative and antiaphrodisinc.il qualities, which are, however, now con-
sidered doubtful In Sweden, in years of scarcity, the roots of Nuphar lutea arc pounded into cakes along
with the inner bark of Pinns sylvestris.
1056 NATURAL ARRANGEMENT.
This order has been the cause 01 much difference among botanists, as to its true station In a natural classifi-
cation, its structure being of so doubtful a character as to leave room for disputing whether it belongs to
Dicotyledones or Monocotyledoncs. Upon this subject M. Deoandolle has the following remarks : " Gaertner
declares that the embryo is undivided, and therefore monocotyledonous. In 1802, I remarked in the Bulletin
Philomathique, that the embryo both of Nymphae'a and Ndphar is enclosed in a peculiar integument, and that
a dicotyledonous structure is apparent when that integument is removed ; shortly after, M. Mirbel declared
that the embryo of Neli'iinbium has two thick cotyledones ; in 1806, M. Turpin gave an accurate description
of the fruit of Nelfimbium lhteum, without however removing the doubts about the real structure of the
embryo, and two years afterwards his colleague, M. Poiteau, described the seed and germination of the same
plant, pointing out that the embryo consisted of two thick cotyledons enclosed within a stipular membrane, but
destitute of radicula : this was subsequently confirmed by M. Mirbel after very minute anatomical examin-
ation ; that observer compared the seed of Neluinbium to the seed of Amygdalus, and also to that of Piper
and Saururus, and also demonstrated that the structure of the stem was analogous to that of exogenous or
dicotyledonous plants. A very different opinion was shortly afterwards held by M. Correa de Serra, an observer
of the highest order, who admitted indeed that Nymphaeaceae are exogenous, but contended that the parts
which had been taken by previous observers for cotyledons were, in fact, a mere expansion of the radicle,
and that cotyledons were as entirely absent in Nelumbium as in Ciiscuta. In the meanwhile M. de Jussieu
adhered to the old opinion, that Nymphseaceae are monocotyledonous ; in which he was supported by the late
Professor Louis Claude Richard, a name for ever memorable in the annals of Carpology, who published a new
view of their structure, in which he differed materially from all his predecessors ; this botanist considered the
stipulary membrane of Poiteau a simple cotyledon, and the cotyledons of that writer the hypoblastus, or body
of the radicula ; he also refused to admit any evidence derived from the anatomical structure of the stem. In
this conflict of opinions, I have determined to station Nymphaeacea? among Exogenes, for the following
reasons : 1st, because the structure of their stem is that of Exogenes rather than of Endogenes ; -dly, because
the two opposite bodies, enclosed within the little bag or stipulary membrane, described by Poiteau, appear to
be undoubtedly cotyledons, which is confirmed by the presence of a plumula between them in Nelumbium ;
3dly, because of the structure of their flower, which has a great affinity with that of Paeonia, Magnolia, and
Papaver; 4thly, on account of the similarity between their fruit and stigma and that of Papaver; 5thly
because of their milky juice and convolute leaves, two characters which are not known to exist among Endo.
genes." Those who are interested in pursuing this curious discussion any farther, will find many remarks and
illustrative figures in the English edition of the Analyse du Fruit, published by Mr. Lindley in 1819.

' These plants are better known for their medicinal properties than for their beauty. Some of them are the
common pests of corn fields, and with grain have been disseminated over all the world. Sanguinaria is a neat
little American plant well known for its crimson juice, and the emetic purgative powers of its roots. Sara-
cennia is a genus of very doubtful affinity ; consisting of curious little American marsh plants of difficult culture,
and remarkable for the singular pitcher-like form of its leaves. The peculiar power of the poppy is, as is well
known, narcotic; a property which pervades all the order, although in a less intense degree in all than in the
officinal P. somniferum, from which exclusively the drug opium is obtained. The Mexicans use the expressed
oil of the seeds of Argemone mexicana for polishing furniture.

Tender herbs, with fineiy cut leaves and annual stems, abounding in a watery juice ; without any appear-

trifling. Formerly they were combined with Papaveracea?, from which they are now universally distin-
guished. The greater part of them are natives of hedges or thickets in the cooler parts of the northern
hemisphere ; two are natives of the Cape of Good Hope. Many of the species are beautiful ornaments of the
flower-garden.

Order XII. CRUCIFER.E.
' The importance of this order to mankind, and the singular nature of its botanical characters, render it
expedient to speak very fully upon it: in which the remarks of the learned M. Decandolle, who has paid
Cruciferae particular attention, will be chiefly followed. The order consists wholly of annual or perennial,
often biennial herbs, occasionally assuming a suffrutescent habit ; then, however, never exceeding the height
of three feet. The roots are either thick and perennial, or annual or biennial and slender, almost always per-
pendicular and undivided. The young roots are tipped with a little sheath, called the coleorhiza, which is
produced by the extended ruptured coat of the epidermis when the rootlet first appears. This is a curious
character, and deserves attention. The stems are round or somewhat angular, branched, and often, even in
the annual species, indurated at the base. The branches proceed from the axilla; of the leaves, but the upper-
most ones are abortive in most cases. The race- ,es are always opposite to the leaves ; sometimes the terminal
branch is abortive when the raceme appears to be terminal ; but this is merely owing to that circumstance.
The leaves are simple, generally radical or alternate, rarely opposite. The flowers are either white, yellow,
or purple, or in a few Cape species bright blue. The fruit is called either a siliqua or silicula, the former
being a linear pod containing many seeds, the latter a roundish pod containing one or very few seeds, whence
this order, which is the same as the Linnaan class Tetradynamia, is divided by Linnams into two parts, called
Siliquosae and Siliculosae. In the seed, the radicle and cotyledons are applied to each other in different ways,
from which the suborders of M. Decandolle derive their characters. When the edge of the cotyledons is
pressed close to the radicula, so that a cross section would be thus O = > the cotyledons are said to be accum-
bent, as in all Pleurorhizea? ; when the side of the cotyledons is pressed to the radicula thus O 1 1 , the former
are called incumbent, as in Notorhizeae. If the cotyledons are incumbent, and at the same time half folded
together or conciuplirate, thus 0> > , the suborder Orthoplocea? is formed ; when the cotyledons are
incumbent and spirally twisted, so that a section would resemble this Oil II, they constitute the suborder
Spirolobeae; and finally, when the cotyledons are incumbent, and doubled twice in their length, thus O II II Hi
we have Diplecolobea^
The whole order is preeminently European ; 166 species are found in the north and middle of Europe, and
178 on the sea-shores of the Mediterranean ; 45 are found between Mogadore and Alexandria; 184 in the
countries of the East, that is to say, Syria, Asia Minor, Tauria, and Persia ; 99 in Siberia ; 35 in China, Japan,
and India; 16 in New Holland and the South Sea islands; 6 in the Mauritius and adjacent countries ; 70 at
the Cape ; 9 in the Canaries ; 2 in Saint Helena ; 2 in the West Indies ; 41 in South America ; 48 in North
America ; 5 in Kamtchatka and the bordering islands ; and finally, 35 are common to several parts of the
globe. From this it appears that there are about 100 species in the southern hemisphere, and about 800 in the

Variable: many inhabit Open sandy place*, some form the vegetation about tin- limits of the pcrprtud
Bum of !•» It y mountains, and many follow the footsteps of man through all parts of the world.
The useful qualities of the turnip, the radish, the rape, and the cabbage, and its multiform varieties, are
all well known. The greater part of the order cons. sis of plants possessing nigh antiscorbutic powers. These
appear to depend U|Hin a certain acrid volatile oily principle, the clu-micd nature of which is imperfectly
known. It is particularly abundant In the seeds of mustard and the roots of horseradish, and the leaves of
Lepidium l.itilolium, which latter exercise a violent influence u|X>n the organs of digestion The same
sort of acrimony, but in less degree, Is found in the herbage of the scurvy-grass and the roots of the radish,
winch act much more mildly when taken inwardly ; thus, when any cruciferous plants are found to be eatable,
either from culture or other Circumstances, it is to be understood to depend upon a reduction of this acrid
principle. The exciting powers of tins last, are what render the horse-radish, the scurvy grass, and others, so
remarkably useful as antiscorbutics ; they are also believed to possess diuretic and diaphoretic properties. It is
to be remarked, that t'rucifcra? are always eatable when their texture is succulent and watery, as in the
ro.it> of the radish and the turnip, and the leaves of the cabbage tribe. A further diminution of the acrid
principle is produced by blanching. Crucifene are said to possess a greater share of azote than any other tribe
of plants j a- is apparent in their fetid smell when fermented. The embryo of all the order abounds in oil,
whence many species are employed with much advantage for expressing, either for eating or for feeding
lamps. Some of the species are extremely beautiful and fragrant, as the Stocks, the Gillyflowers, the Hcs-
perides, the Candytufts, and many others. The Hutchinsias, Drabas, Cardamines, Sec. are among the most
interesting of alpine plants

Order XIII. FLACOURTIANEiE.
A very small order formerly comprised in Tiliaceje. It is remarkable on account of the structure of its
fruit, to the inner lining of which the seeds are attached upon a branched placenta. Nothing is known of the
properties of the Flacourtias. The berries of Flacourtia Ramontchi are eaten in Madagascar. The order
consists entirely of small tropical trees or bushes.
2102 Flacourtia If.
Order XIV. CAPPAR1DE.E.
These are nearly related to Crucifera, of the properties of which they partake. Many are very pretty plants,
especially Cleome rosea, and the various species of Crata/va. The common caper is an elegant bush, remark-
able for its large white flowers and long purple stamens. The species are found occasionally in various parts
of the world. The different kinds of Capparis are reputed to be stimulating, antiscorbutic, and aperient.
The bark of the root of the common caper passes for a diuretic medicine. Several species of Cleome have an
acrid taste, which has been compared by travellers to that of mustard. The root of Cleome dodecandra is
employed as a vermifuge in the United States; and the leaves produce an inflammation of the skin, whence
they are used in Cochin-china as a sinapism. Dec.

Order XV. VIOLARIRE.
This is one of the most favorite orders with gardeners ; consisting, as it chiefly does, of the Violet genus,
from which most of the others are recent dismemberments. The greater part are hardy herbaceous plants,
some of which are remarkable for their perfume, others for their brilliant colors, and all for their neatness.
They are natives of the temperate or cold zones of both hemispheres, often growing at great elevations above the
sea. Among them is a tribe called Alsodineae, consisting of suffrutescent tropical plants ; but none of them have
been introduced into the gardens of this country. The attention of collectors should be directed to procuring
the shrubby Violacese of Brazil, some of which possess great interest. The medical properties of the order
are found principally in their roots, which appear to possess, in all cases, emetic properties, in a greater or
less degree. One of the Ipecacuanhas is the root of a Brazilian violet. M. Decandolle has the following
observations upon the affinities of the Violarica : — They are very nearly akin, he observes, to the Polygaleze
and llroseracea?, and especially to the Passifloreae. From the first they are distinguished by their unilocular
fruit, leaves furnished with stipules and two-celled anthers ; from Droseracea? by their solitary style, length,
ened embryo and stipulate leaves, the vernation of which is involutive, not circinate. From Passiflorea; they
differ in their fruit being capsular, not berried ; in their albumen being compact and shining, not pitted ; in
their stamens being hypogynous, not perigynous ; in their anthers being attached along their whole length, not
fixed by their middle ; finally, in their stigmas being one and not three. The genus Calyptrion approaches
Passifloreaj in its twining stem, and Hymenanthera borders upon Polygaleffi on account of its monospermoui
pericarpium with solitary pendulous seeds.

Order XVI. POLYGALE^E.
Most of the plants of this order are interesting, and deserving the attention of the gardener, some for their
neatness, some for their beauty, and some for their use in medicine. They are natives of most countries, and
are either low herbaceous plants, occasionally less than an inch in height (small specimens of Pol^gala pur-
purea), or shrubs varying from a dwarf, rigid, spiny habit, to a tall, graceful, drooping appearance. Polygalea
are remarkable for the union of their stamens into a single body, their one-celled anthers opening with a
pore, and their irregular flowers, one of which is often keel-shaped, and beautifully crested or bearded. The
leaves have generally a bitter astringent taste, which is much more abundant in the roots, combined with an
acrid and somewhat resinous flavour : these properties are particularly sensible in P. senega, which is reputed
a sudorific, diuretic, sialagogue, cathartic, or mild emetic, according to the manner in which it is adminis-
tered. The Yelhoi of South America, the root of a species of Monnina, has the same properties as P. senega,
and is particularly used as a remedy for dysentery. The well known Rattany, or Ratanhia root, of Chile, is the
produce of a plant of this order, and possesses powerful tonic and astringent qualities. According to the
analysis of a French chemist, it contains gallic acid, but neither tannin nor resin.

Order XVII. DROSERACE.E.
The order of sun-dews is a small group of plants, natives of marshes or inundated grounds in all the ttm-
perate parts of the world. The species are very remarkable for the abundance of glandular hairs with which
all the parts of the foliage are covered. Only two species are in any degree frutescent. The young leaves
are always rolled up in the circinate manner, so remarkable in ferns. Their medicinal properties appear to be
trifling : the leaves have the power of curdling milk.
702 Drosera W. 1009 Diona^a IV.
Order XVIII. BIXINE^E.
The plants of this order are few in number, and not remarkable either for beauty or use. The Bixa orel-
ISna is chiefly known for producing the seed called in the shops Arnotta (Rocon, Ft.), and used for coloring
cheese ; the properties of the Arnotta are slightly purgative and stomachic. They are all bushes or small
trees, and mostly tropical. Azaras, Chilian shrubs with fragrant flowers, are not yet known in the gardens
of Europe.
1178 Bixa W. 1179 Prockia L.
Order XIX. CISTINEiE
The common rock roses of our gardens give an accurate idea of this order, which contains little else They
are all very ornamental, and particularly well calculated for covering rockwork. The species of Cistus and
Helianthemum have been multiplied by Dunal in an extravagant manner, as has been well demonstrated by
Mr. Bentham. They are natives of most parts of the world in dry elevated places. The gum called Ladanum
is the produce of some kinds of Cistus ; it exhales a fragrant perfume when burnt, and possesses slightly
tonic and stomachic properties.

Ordrr XX. CARYOPHYLLEJE.
These consist of herbs or low undcrshrubs, Inhabiting the mountains and pastures of all part* of the world.
In Europe and Siberia they are particularly abundant, and least so in Africa and South America. Many are
r. Minium weeds, as most of the l/erastiuins, Spcrgulas, and others Several of the Silcnes are very ornamental,
and among the Arenarias are to be found some dwarf species of considerable elegance. But it is in Dlantbui
tb.it the prute of the order consists : this genus is almost unrivalled for the brilliancy of its colors, the neat-
ness of its foliage, and tbe perfume of its flowers. From the finest of its species the title of the order ha* been
derived. Tbe virtue* of Caryophylleas are slight. Saponaria officinalis, and one or two others, have been
praised for poaHMing antisyplnlitic properties ; the root of Silene virginiana is reputed anthelmintic; and th.»
Arenaria peploides, being fermented, is used by the Icelanders for food.

Order XXI. LINEJE
Separated by M. Decandolle from Caryophylleae, from which it is well distinguished by its fruit having
several cells, or in the language of the botanist just named, being formed by the cohesion of several carpella.
Most of the species are pretty plants, bearing yellow, blue, or white flowers. They are of immense import-
ance in the world, on account of the tenacity of their fibres when made into flax. The seeds of common flax
are between mucilaginous and oily ; the leaves of Linum catharticum and L selaginoides, the latter a native
of Peru, are purgative.
701 Linum W. 321 Radiola Sm.
Order XXII. FRANKENIACE.E.
Distinguished from Caryophylleae by the fruit not having a central separate placenta, but bearing the seed*
on the inner margin of the valves. The species are natives of arid situations in Europe, Africa, and South
America. They have not much beauty, and no known medical properties. Besides the genus here recorded,
there are two others mentioned by M. Decandolle.
835 Frankenia W.
Order XXIII. MALVACEAE.
Before this order was dismembered of Bombaceae and Byttneriaceae, it contained most of the grandest flowers
in nature. Even now, the splendour of the various species of Milva, Altha?'a, to which the hollyhock belongs,
and Hibiscus, render* it one of the most remarkable groups of plants. With the exception of the numerous
genus Sida, nearly all Malvaceae are objects worthy of the gardener's care, particularly those which are hardy. In
stoves or greenhouse, the softness of their branches and leaves render them peculiarly liable to the attacks of the
red spider, mealy bug, and scale, from which few collections are free ; a circumstance which makes them less
generally esteemed than the surpassing beauty of many of them merits. The greater part of the order is
clothed with stellate pubescence, and a reniform one-celled anther is a character common to the whole.
These two peculiarities, together with the alternate stipulate leaves, distinguish Malvaceae fiom all the rest of
Dichlamydeae. All the species abound in a nutritive mucilage ; a quality which renders the young heads of
tbe Ochro, or Hibiscus esculentus, an object of great value within the tropics, as an ingredient in soups. In
Brazil, the Abutilon csculentum serves the same purposes. The emollient properties of Althae'a officinalis,
or Guimauve of the French, are well known to physicians, as a remedy for catarrns and pulmonary complaints.
A decoction of the leaves of Sphaeralcea cisplatina is used for similar objects in Brazil. A species of Pavonia
it employed in the same country as a diuretic in the form of a decoction. The straight shoots of Sida
mierantha are employed as rocket-sticKS at Rio Janeiro. The chewed leave* of Sida carpinifolia allay the
inflammation occasioned by the stings of wasps. The tough fibres of many Malvaceae are manufactured
into cordage. Their petals are astringent; whence those of Hibiscus Rosa sinensis are used in China to
hhuken the eyelashes and the leather of shoes. The fibrous threads in which the seeds of Gossvpium are
enveloped furnish the valuable cotton, an article of immense importance to the world ; these threads when
examined by the microscope, will lie seen to be finely toothed, which explains the cause of their adhering
together with greater facility than those of Bombax and several Apocineae, which are destitute of teeth, and
which cannot be spun into thread without an admixture of cotton.

in five sets, or, in Linnaean language, brotherhoods. The species arc mostly fine trees with large showy
flowers, and natives of the tropics Some of them are among the largest trees in the world ; Adansonia, the
Baobab of Senegal, has been seen with a diameter of twenty-five feet, and specimens of Bombax Ceiba, and
Eriodendrnn anfractuosum, are not uncommon an hundred feet in height. The wood of all the species i* light

Much the same kind of plants as those of the two last orders, from which they were not formerly dis-
tinguished ; and from which they scarcely differ, except in their bilocular anthers. Many of the Stercolias
are tine umbrageous trees, the seeds of which are large and eatable ; especially those of the famous Kola,
which possess the property, lieing chewed, of rendering bad water pleasant to the palate. The seeds of the
t'hicha, another and very noble specie* of the genus, are highly esteemed in Brazil for the dessert Astrapae'a,
and several other genera related to it, are among the most Ixantilul in the world. The flowers of a specie* of
l'cntapetcs, called by the Indians, Machucunha, give out a mucilaginous refrigerant Juice, which is employed
in gonorrhaea. Guaziima ulmifolia has its fruit filled with a pleasant mucilage, which is sweet and very
agreeable; an extract of the bark of the same plant is used in Martinique to clarify sugar; its old bark is

Order XXVII. TILIACE.E.
Trees, shrubs, or herbs, in general not remarkable for their beauty, the greater part of the last being the
commonest weeds of the tropics. The Lime, from which the order derives its name, is a genus of fine trees
with fragrant flowers, and Sparmannia and Entelea are handsome broad-leaved greenhouse arborescent
plants. The inner bark of Tilia is tough and separable, and supplies the material whence the Russia mats
used by gardeners and others are prepared. Corchorus olitorius is cultivated in Egypt as a kitchen-garden
vegetable ; the fibres of the bark of Corchorus capsularis are twisted into fishing lines ; and the roasted nuts of
the Lime tree are reported to bear some resemblance to chocolate.

stones manufactured into necklaces.
1192 Elseocarpus IV.
Order XXIX. SAPINDACE.E.
One of the distinctive peculiarities of this order consists in the petals having an additional lobe in the
inside, or a tuft of hairs instead. Nearly all the plants have compound leaves, and bunches of white flowers ;
a few of them are twining herbs, but the greater part are trees or shrubs, all natives of the warmer parts of
the world, and in a great proportion, of the East. The only genus which will bear the climate of England is
Kolreuteria, a fine shrub or small tree, with panicles of white or pale yellow flowers. Nephelium and
Dimocarpus are both genera bearing excellent fruit. The rind of the berry of Sapindus saponaria is of a
soapy quality, as the name of the plant indicates. The pulp of Melicocca, the arillus of BHghia sapida, and
the kernel of Bertholletea and Pekea are all excellent eating.

Order XXX. HIPPOCASTANEiE.
The only genus is JE'sculus, from which some botanists have divided the smooth-fruited species under the
name of Pavia. The order is much valued for the grandeur of the foliage and flowers of most of the species,
which are all hardy trees. Their bitter fruit has sometimes been used as a sternutatory ; it contains a large
quantity of potash, and an abundance of starch. The bark is astringent, bitter, and febrifugal, and has been
recommended as a substitute for Cinchona.
866 ^E'sculus W.
Order XXXI. HIPPOCRATICEJE.
Little is known of this order. The species are tropical arborescent or climbing shrubs, with opposite simple
leaves, and small inconspicuous flowers. The genus Tonsella, of which there is none in cultivation, contains
some species known in Sierra Leone as bearing poisonous fruit
83 Hippocratea L.
Order XXXII. MARCGRAAVIACE^E.
Very curious half-climbing shrubs, all natives of hot countries Some of them bear among the flower*,
which are large and showy, singular hollow bodies, like the pitchers of Sarracenia. The order has been well
Illustrated by Professor Hooker, in the 160th article of his Exotic Flora.
116:5 Marcgraivia JV.
Order XXXIII. ACERINEJE.
Valuable trees, native of the woods of Europe, Siberia, and North America. Their flowers are in all cases
inconspicuous ; the breadth and rich color of their leaves constituting their beauty. All the larger species
abound in a very saccharine sap, from which sugar is prepared in North America; it is chiefly made from
A'cer saccharinum and Negftndium, but may be obtained from many others.

Undulated unguiculate spreading petals form one of the most obvious characters of this order, the species cf
which are all tropical, and are either trees or shrubs, often climbers. Many of the Malpighias are well known

Order XXXV. HYPERICINEiE.
The whole of these abound in a resinous Juice, and are in most cases glandular in some degree. Their leaves
arc all dotted, and which is very remarkable, the dots are often black, even upon the yellow petals. These
latter have a singular obliquity, which is not indicated by their outline, but by the arrangement of their
veins. The juice just noticed as abundant in this order is yellow, viscid, rather bitter, often purgative or
nnthelmintic ; and so very analogous to Gamboge, that the juice of Hypericum baccatum, and some othei
Guiana species, has received the name of American Gamboge. Most Hypericineae are bitter, and slightly
astringent, whence they have been used as febrifuges. A small part of the order is tropical ; but in its most
genuine form it consists of herbaceous or undershrubby plants, delighting in the shade of groves and thickets
in the cooler parts of Europe and Asia. Nearly all the flowers are yellow: those of H. cochinchinense are
dull red.

Trees or shrubs found in the hottest parts of the world, and well known by their thick entire opposite leaves

mangostana, bears a fruit, the equal of which is supposed not to exist. The well known Gamboge is the in.
ipiwated juice of Garcinia Gambogia, and, perhaps, other species ; the juice of others is found an efficacious
vermifuge, and also a remedy for the chiggers, one of the worst pests of equinoctial America. The bark and
fruit of many Garcinias are astringent. The unripe fruits of Grias cauliflnra are pickled. The flowers of all
the order be.ng showy, the foliage good, and the properties interesting, every species deserves cultivation.

Order XXXVII. VINIFER^.
The vine is the type and representative of this order. Cissus and Ampelopsis differ little from it in botan-
ical characters, and not at all in habit. The common grape is the only species that bears really good fruit ;
the American kinds, with large fleshy berries, being spoiled by a disagreeable foxy flavor, which is not found
lo be removed by cultivation.

Order XXXIII. GERAN1 ACE.-E.
The Geraniums are well known to all gardeners for their beauty, and the facility with which hybrid
varieties are produced among them. Geranium and Erodium are chiefly natives of the northern hemisphere ;
and Pelarg6nium of the sou' hern. Different as they appear from Viniferae in most respects, thete are some
points in which a curious resemblance may be found between the two orders. The young stems of both are
articulated and separable at the articulations ; and the lower leaves are opposite, while the upper ones are
alternate. In Geraniacea? no tendrils are produced, but the peduncles are opposite to the leaves, as in Vitis,
and occupy the place of tendrils. M. Decandolle observes, that of the true Geraniacea?, some are slightly
acid, especially those of which the leaves and bark are succulent ; several exhale a resinous smell which u
sometimes agreeable, but occasionally so powerful as to be unpleasant. The resinous principle is so abundant
in Geranium spinnsiim, that its stem burns like a torch, and exhales an agreeable perfume. The most
common property of European geraniums is to be astringent, which is chemically determined by their juice
being blackened by sulphate of iron; this is particularly remarkable in G. Robertianum and sanguineum,
which are both accounted vulnerary, and in G. moschatum, pratense, and others, in which it is united to a
slight aromatic principle, whence they have been recommended for various purposes, and among others for
removing calculous disorders. The astringent property of the geraniums is also present in G. inai ulatum,
which grows in much abundance about Philadelphia; the root of this plant, boiled in milk, is used for the
cholera in children. Barton is of opinion, that it would be a good substitute for gum kino in nephritis and
obstinate diarrhoeas.

Order XXXIX. OXALIDE.SL
Formerly confounded with the last order. It is the opinion of modern botanists, that the species are more
nearly allied to Kutacea? or Zygophylleae, and that their character and peculiar habit is quite sufficient to
distinguish them. The beauty of the genus O'xalis is very great, and the readiness with which the species
may he cultivated and caused to flower, would have been expected to make them universal favorites ; they are
not however, much seen in cultivation. Their properties are well known : all of them have a slightly acid
taste, whence some have occasionally been employed as salad ; their acidity is very agreeable and depends
upon the presence of a small quantity of oxalate of potassa. In some of the species of equinoctial America
oxalic acid exists in great abundance. Several species are employed in Brazil as a remedy for certain fevers
of that country.

Order XL. TROP/EOLE.E.
These are climbing or trailing herbs with handsome solitary axillary flowers, and fleshy stems and leaven.
They are distinguished front Geraniacea? by their stamens being separate, and not agreeing in numlier with the
petals ; by their axillary flowers, and fleshy indehisccnt fruit. It is very curious, that this is the onlv order
in which the peculiar acrid flavor of Crucifer<e is found to exist. Tropae'olum pcntaphy'llum, with probably
other 6pecies, is a powerful antiscorbutic. All are natives of shady places in various parts of South America
The rooU of some are fleshy aud eatable.

Order XU. BALSAMINE.E.
The flower of this order has been remarked by a learned botanist to be that of FumariaceH-, the capsule of
O'xalis, the embryo of I.inuui, and the habit peculiar. The well known elastic spring with which the scuU
are ejected, constitutes a principal character of the order. All the species are annuals, with the exception of
Impaiicns frutirosa ; thev delight in moist hot situations, generally within the tropics; ami are remarkable
for the singularity and varied colors of their flowers.

The hardness of the wood of the shrubby species of this order is most remarkable, if the snflneu of the
items of the herbaceous ones is remembered. To this the extreme difficulty of propagating Guatacum it lo

be attributed. Zygopbyllum Fabago is employed as an anthelmintic, but it is in the Gualacum that the great
medical virtues of the order are found: all the genus is extremely exciting ; the wood and bark of Guai-
acum officinale and sanctum have a rather bitter acrid flavor, and are principally used as sudorifics,
diaphoretics, or alteratives ; they have been found to contain a particular substance differing both from gum
and resin, which has been called guayacine. Many of the species bear beautiful flowers, especially the
Tribuluses, which with their brilliant yellow Cistus-like blossoms, enliven man/ a barren rock in the tropicf.
None are found in the colder latitudes of the world.

Order XLIII. MELIACE.E.
The nearest affinity of this order is probably with Sapindacea;. It is particularly distinguished by the
stamens being united into a tube bearing the anthers. The leaves are usually pinnated, and most of the
species, which are all either trees or shrubs, are natives of tropical forests. Melia bears bunches of fine lilac
colored flowers, but few of the genera are interesting on account of their inflorescence. The qualities of the
different species are little known. Canella alba is aromatic, and is used in equinoctial America as a spice.
The bark of Guarea trichilioides is said by Aublet to be purgative and emetic. The pulpy fruit of M6!ia
Azedarach is said to be poisonous ; both this part and the inner bark have been used as anthelmintics either
in substance or in decoction. It is asserted by Michaux, that the pulp that surrounds the kernel is considered
in Pekin a specific in scrophulous cases. The oil expressed from the seeds of the same plant is said to have
strong antispasmodic powers.

Order XL1V. CERRELEiE.
Some of the finest trees of the tropical regions of the globe are comprehended in this order, as the well
known mahogany, and the New Holland cedar, which is a species of Cedrela. Their winged seeds distinguish
them from Meliaceae. The bark of Cedrela Pi.na is employed in the East Indies as a febrifuge, as is also that
of the mahogany in the West. But the most powerful remedy for fevers in the whole order is the Soymida of
the West Indies, which is the produce of Swietenia febrifuga; its taste is bitter and nauseous, and its virtues
are extolled as equalling those of Cinchona.
990 Swietenia W. 531 Cedrela W,
Order XLV. AURANTIACEjE.
These are also known under the name of Hesperide<e. They consist of trees or shrubs of the greatest beauty
and utility. The well-known orange and lemon are the representatives of the order, the characters of which
are so well defined that there is no material deviation from the type affbrded by those species. The thick
leaves, articulated with their petiole, and abounding in transparent reservoirs of odoriferous oil, are the most
obvious peculiarities. The flowers are fragrant, and the fruit in all cases fleshy, and generally eatable. The
wood is particularly close-grained. The volatile oil contained in the reservoirs of the leaves and fruit possesses
powerful tonic and stimulating properties. M. Decandolle thus explains the singular structure of the fruit of
the orange. In the opinion of this learned botanist it consists, first, of a thick, valveless, indehiscent indusium
or coat, which is most likely to be considered a continuous torus. Secondly, of several carpella, verticillate
around an imaginary axis, often separable without laceration ; membranous, and either containing seeds only,
or filled with pulp, lying in innumerable little bags proceeding from the inner coats of the cells.

Order XLVI. TERNSTROMIACE.E.
A very small order, consisting wholly of trees or shrubs, bearing handsome white or yellowish flowers. They
are nearly related to Camellieae, from which they do not differ at all in habit. Nothing is known of their pro-
perties. Noronha states that a species of Saurauja found in Java has a subacid fruit, in flavor resembling the
Tomato, and that it is eaten by the Javanese under the name of Koleho.

Order XLVII. CAMELLIE.E.
Camellias are too well known in our gardens to render it necessary to say much upon their peculiarities.
The Camellia is one of the most beautiful, and the tea one of the most useful, plants in the world. Both are
natives either of China, Japan, or Nepal. The tea is well known for the stimulating influence of its decoction
upon the nerves, which is attributed by Cullen to the presence of a narcotic principle. The seeds of Camellia
oleifera yield a fine oil. None of the species bear fragrant flowers. Their nearest affinity is with Ternstromi.

Order XLVIII. OLACINE.E.
Smooth trees or shrubs, with simple stalked exstipulate alternate entire leaves, and little axillary flowers.
Botanists doubt whether what is called a calyx is not rather an involucrum, in which case the corolla would
become a calyx, and the station of the order among Monochlamydeas, rather than in this place.
890 Ximenia W.
Order XLIX RUTACE.ffi.
An interesting and extensive, but rather heterogeneous, group of plants, natives of all countries and all situ-
ations. The species are either fetid northern herbaceous plants, as the garden rue, or neat heath-like southern
shrubs, with an aromatic odor, as the Cape Diosmas ; broad or long-leaved Australasian shrubs, with a stellate
pubescence, as Phebalium, or tropical trees with panicles of pallid minute flowers, as the Cusparias and Xan-
thoxylums. The order contains nearly 300 species, of which but a small proportion is in our gardens. The
medical properties of many genera are considerable. Ruta and Peganum are emmenagogue, anthelmintic, and
sudorific. Diusma abounds in a volatile oil of an agreeable smell, but acrid flavor ; several of its species are
reputed antispasmodics. The Xanthc'.xylums are said to possess acrid, stimulating, or tonic qualities ; Clava
Herculis and fraxineum are said, in America, to be powerful sudorifics and diaphoretics. According to
Barton, they possess a remarkable power of exciting copious salivation, not only when applied to the mouth,
but even when taken internally ; they have both been found powerful remedies in paralysis of the muscles
of the mouth. Xanthoxylum cariba;'um is regarded in Guiana as a detersive vulnerary and febrifuge. The
famous febrifugal Angostura bark is the produce of Cusparia febrifuga.

Five species constitute the whole of this order, distributed in South Europe, New Zealand, Peru, and
Mexico. They possess no beauty, and are only interesting on account of their problematical station in &
botanical arrangement. The leaves of C. myrtifolia arc astringent, and are employed in dying black. Its
berries are very poisonous. On one occasion, during the Spanish war fifteen French soldiers were taken ill
after eating them, and three died from their powerful narcotic effects.

Beautiful yellow- flowered tropical shrubs or trees with lucid leaves. The roots and leaves of Walkers serruta,
a Cingalese plant, are bitter; a decoction of them, either in water or milk, is used in Malabar as tonic,
stomachic, and antiemetic. The bark of Gomphia hexaspcrraa is found useful in healing sores produced in
cattle in Brazil by the stings of insects.

Thirteen plants, found in equinoctial America, constitute this order. They are trees or shrubs, with ar
intensely bitter bark, a milky juice, and pinnated leaves. The Quassia is well known as the most pure an-
Intense bitter hitherto discovered; the same property exists, in a milder degree, in the rest of the ordei
Quassia amara U a very ornamental plant, but rare, at present, in collections.

Subclass II. CALYCIFLOREJE.
Petals separate, inserted into the calyx.
Order LIII. CELASTRINE.E.
This order differs from the succeeding, in having the stamens alternate with the petals; the sepals imbri-
cated in aestivation; and the ovarium wholly superior. It consists entirely of shrubs or small trees, with
simple, rarely compound, alternate or opposite leaves, and inconspicuous flowers of a greenish or white color.
Several are favorite ornaments of our shrubberies, as the Staphylea, the Celastrus, and the Euonymus; the
latter of which is valued on account of its beautiful-colored fruit. The fruit of Euonymus europa/us is a brisk
purgative, as is also the inner bark, and in strong doses powerfully emetic. The famous Paraguay tea is the
foliage of a species of I'lex. The bark of Prinos verticillatus possesses such active, astringent, bitter, tonic,
and febrifugal qualities, that it is used in North America, with success, as a substitute for Cinchona. A de-
coction of the twigs of Ma^tenus boaria is used to bathe the swellings produced by the poisonous shade of the
tree Lithi.

In habit, this altogether agrees with the last, from which the medical properties of the species are not
widely different. Throughout the order, as far as it has been examined, there is a remarkable agreement
between the fruit and the inner bark, especially in Rhamnus catharticus, frangula, and others, in which they
both are purgative and emetic. Some, as the Jujuba, and the African Lote, nevertheless, yield a wholesome
and agreeable fruit ; and the berries, of the greater number, yield, under the chemist's hands, green or yellow
dyes of much importance in manufactures. The leaves of Rhamnus theezans are substituted for tea by the
poorer sort among the Chinese. The bark of Ceanothus reeriileus is esteemed in Mexico as a good febrifuge.

gonorrhoea.

Order LVIII. TEREBINTHACEJE.
This order is, notwithstanding the labors of several botanists, in a very confused state; from want of suffi-
cient knowledge of many of the genera, which have been hitherto imperfectly described, it is difficult either to
determine the value of the characters assigned to the tribes, or the dignity of the tribes themselves. All the
species are shrubs or trees, with alternate exstipulate leaves, and inconspicuous flowers, and abound in a bal-
samiferous resin, which is chiefly present in the leaves and bark, and from which the denomination of the
order has been derived. Notwithstanding the minuteness of their flowers, many of the species are valuable as
ornamental plants, on account of the beauty of their foliage, others for the sake of their utility in arts or medi-
cine, and others for their fruit. The walnut, the Cashew nut, and the Pistachio are valuable for their nuts,
which are well known articles of the markets of Europe. The Spondias and Mango are equally famous in the
tropics. The well-known balsam of Tolu is the produce of the Toluifera ; the balsam of Mecca, of the
Amyris gileaciensis ; and balm of Acouchi, of the I'cica acuchini ; gum comes from Amyris elemifera and
I'cica leptophylla ; mastich from Pistacia atlantica and lentiscus ; and Venetian turpentine from Pistacia tere-
binthus. Schinus Mulle produces a resin which in Peru is used as a dentrifice, as myrrh is with us.
Some of the best varnishes are prepared from the exudation of Amyris guianensis, Rhus vernix, copallina,
and others ; the finest kinds of incense are also afforded by plants of this order, such as the wood and resin of
the different species of I'cica, of Amyris balsamifera, and of Canarium commune, the Coumia, which is used
in Guiana for such purposes, and finally, the Boswellia thurifera, which is the true frankincense of Indian
temples. But among the fragrant and wholesome plants of which the order chiefly consists, lie concealed
others in which acrid and poisonous qualities no less abound. Such are several pieces of Rhus, the juice of
which produces blisters upon the skin, and the Amyris toxifera, the juice of which is accounted poisonous.
To conclude this long list of the uses and dangers of Tercbinthacea?, the bark of Brucea is used as an astrin-
gent in dysenteries, that of Rhus glabra as a febrifuge and as a mordant for red colors, and that of Rhu*
coriaria as a powerful means of tanning skins of animals. It is curious to remark how strongly Terebinthaceae
are connected with Amentacece through Juglans.

Order LIX. LEGUMINOSJE.
The family to which the various kinds of pulse belong is one of the most familiar to the world, and at the
same time one of the most useful to mankind. Their papilionaceous flowers characterise a large number, and
their pods and pinnate leaves the remainder, with a few exceptions, which it is not necessary to particularise.
As objects of ornament, many are possessed of unrivalled beauty, for example, among hardy flowering trees,
the Robinia and the Laburnum : among shrubs, for decorating the borders of the flower-garden, the various
tribes of Cytisus, C^ragana, Colutea, Amorpha, and others ; among hardy climbers, the far-famed Glycine of
China, and its sister of North America, with the species of the herbaceous genera "Vicia and Lathyrus; and,
lastly, among hardy herbaceous plants, the numerous species of Lupinus and Astragalus. Great, however, as
is the beauty ol the Legumini'sa? which can brave the inclemencies of the seasons of Northern Europe, it must
give way before the splendor and elegance of their brethren of the tropics. The flowers of the Erythrina, or
Coral tree, are of the deepest crimson, and borne in profusion upon some of the loftiest trees of the forest.
The Bauhinias, with their snake-like stems and twin leaves, hang in festoons of flowers from branch to branch
of other trees, and are only rivalled by the less vigorous and elegant, but more richly colored blossoms of the
Carpopogons. But all these, with their broad heavy foliage and gaudy colors, are far surpassed by the rugged
trunks, trembling airy foliage, and golden flowers of the Mimosa, which cast a charm over even the most
sterile deserts of burning Africa. Vvhile the forests of hot countries are thus indebted to species of this order
for their timber, the meadows and pastures of the same latitudes are enamelled with the flowers of myriads
of Heriysarums, and animated by the wonderful motion of sensitive plants. As in our own country, the
gayest part of our scenery is in many places indebted to the yellow flowers of our furze and broom, so in other
countries the same effect is produced by other genera of Leguminosa?; by Liparia, Borbonia, and Aspala-
thus, at the Cape of Good Hope, and by the Pultenae'as, Daviesias, Aotuse.% and multitudes of similar genera
in New Holland. The wood of the order is very hard and durable, with a yellow tinge, sometimes changing
into green, as in the Lab.'irnum of Europe, and in the better known Brazil wood of commerce, produced by
Cesalpinia The following useful remarks upon the properties of the order are made by M. Decanriolle :—
"The family of leguminous plants, though established upon characters of primary importance, offers, never-
theless, so large a number of species and such singular botanical anomalies, that it is easy to foresee that its
properties will exhibit little uniformity. Still more exceptions may be anticipated if one reflects, that the che-
mical principle which is found most abundantly in every part of leguminous plants, and to which we must
attribute their principal properties, is the extractive. It is probable that this principle, either from its own
nature, or from its peculiar power of uniting with different matters, or perhaps instead of being a simple prin-
ciple, it is rather a compound of different matters ; it is probable, I 6ay, that the extractive principle exhibit*
NATURAL ARRANGEMENT. 1065
much less uniformity in its results than any other. It is, without doubt, to the presence of the extractive
principle, in considerable quantities, that many leguminous plants owe their purgative properties, which are
common to several extracts, and which many chemists attribute to the acetate of potato, which they are almost
universally found to contain. Thus the leaves and foliaceous pods of Cassia senna /,/n., of Cassia lanceolate
Forsk , of Cassia emarginata of the Antilles, of the Cassia marylandica employed in the United States, of
Colo, tea arboreaceni, of spfrtlnxo ptlrgans, and perhaps aloo of Coronllla etnems, act as brisk purgatives, and
often cause wind and pain in the bowels. The juice of CoronUla v.in.i excites vomiting, and may even l»
poisonous when t.iken in too large quantities. It i<, perhaps, from a diRfcrenl cause that the pulp which is
Contained in the husks of leguminous plants operates upon the human body ; it purges (tenth/ without causing
the least pain, and ought to be considered as laxative rather than purgative. Such lis the character of the
juicy pulp that exists hi the C&SSia fi-tul i I. in., in the Tamarindus indica Lin., in the < 'cr.itoni.i sdiqua
I.in , and probably In the Mimosa Inga and the M. ngifolia, which are eaten in small quantities in the Antilles,
but winch, taken more copiously, would have the same effect as our Carohs. There are some fruits of
Leguminosa-, tor example, the Sophora and the Gleditschia, with tumid pods, in which is found a juice which
surrounds, it it true, the seeds, as in the plants just mentioned, but which differs from them altogether in its
very astringent and nauseous flavor ; the nature and properties of this juice deserve to be examined by che-
mists, and would undoubtedly throw some light upon the nature of leguminosa?. I am induced to think, that
the astringent juice of the Sophora is a secretion of the pericarp, whilst the sweet and purgative juice of the
Cassia would be a secretion of the external part of the seed ; out this hypothesis requires to he verified : what
le.nls me to this opinion, is the flavor commonly found In husks : in the Carohs, for example, the husk is
astringent, and the pulp sweet and laxative. But let us return to the properties which may be attributed to
the extractive principle. It is undoubtedly from some one of these modifications that the singular property of
the 1'isc dia and many Oalegas is derived, which are employed in America to stupefy fish, which are t ken by
this means as readily as with Nux vomica. The decoction of the root of Galega virginiana is considered in
America as a powerful vermifuge. It is, perhaps, indeed, to the very same cause that the rubefacient powers of
the fresh leaves of some Leguminosa; arc to be ascribed, which act readily upon the skin if applied as plasters ;
as, for example, in Omithopus scorpioldes among ourselves, and Hyperanthera moringa elsewhere. It appears
to me, that it is to the greater or less considerable mixture of the extractive principle with the fa?cula con-
tained in the seed, that the different properties of the pulse of leguminous plants may be attributed. If found
in small quantities, the seed may serve as food for man and animals, as we see in French beans, peas, lentils,
chick peas, beans, and many others, &c. If found in a more considerable quantity, it will render them pur-
gative or emetic, as in the Cftisni laburnum, the Anagyris tie tula, and even in most Coronillas. It is
remarkable that the botanical characters of Leguminosa? should so strictly agree with the properties of their
seeds : the latter may be divided into two sections ; namely, first, those of which the cotyledons are thick and
filled with faecula, and destitute of cortical pores, and which, moreover, in germination do not undergo any
change, but nourish the young plant by means of that supply of food which they already contain ; secondly,
those of which the cotyledons are thin, with very little fiecula, and furnished with cortical pores, and which
change at once into leaves at the time of germination for the purpose of elaborating food for the young plant
All the seeds of the first section are employed as food in different countries ; none of those of the second sec-
tion are ever so employed ; the Cajan, which has long been classed among the C^tisi, was apparently an excep-
tion to this general rule ; but observation has proved the contrary. Bearing in mind its known properties, I
formerly paid particular attention to its structure, and I have shown in a note, which accompanies my cata-
logue of the Montpelier garden, that the Cajan forms a particular genus much more nearly allied to the French
bean than to the Cy'tisi, and that it, in fact, belongs to the first of the sections which I have just described.
The seeds of Leguminosa? present also many other anomalies more difficult to reduce to any fixed laws : thus
some are found which contain a rather large portion of fixed oil ; such as the seed of the A'rachis hypogje'a,
lately introduced into European agriculture, and that of Guilandina moringa which produces oil of ben ; there
are some, of which the flavor and smell are rather |>owerful ; as the seed of Dipterix or Cnumarouna odora of
AubU't, which, under the name of Tonquin bean, in used for perfuming snuff ; there are others which, like the
chick |>ea, have rather a bitter taste and exciting properties, and are on that account administered for the jaundice.
There are others again, like those of the Andira, which are so bitter as to be used in Java and Brazil as tonic,
alexiteric, and vermifuge. In a word, are not the aperient and diuretic properties which are observable in the
herbage and the roots of many leguminous plants, such as broom, beans, Ononis, Guilandina ringa and
moringa, Antbyllis cretica, &c. to be attributed to a modification of this extractive principle? There are, in
another view, roots which are furnished with tubercles, that is to say, with reservoirs of fvecula which furnish
mankind with wholesome food, as we see in the Lathyrus tuberosus, which is eaten in Holland, the D61ichos
tuberosus, and the D. bulbosus, which the Indians use as food. The roots of the liquorice have a sweet and
mucilaginous taste, which is well known by every body, and which, united to an acrid and rather exciting
principle, causes it to be employed as a pectoral ; the analysis of this root, published by M. Kobiquet, proves
that independently of its woody skeleton, the same kind of amylaceous fecula is found as in the tuberous roots
of which we have just been speaking ; it is thence seen that the acrid flavor of decoctions of liquorice depends
on the small quantity of resinous oil which it contains, and that its sweet properties are by no means analogous
to common sugar, since it is insoluble in cold water, soluble in warm water or in alcohol, not capable of fer-
mentation, and does not yield to the action of nitric acid any of the known products of sugar. It may here
be added, that the sugary flavor of liquorice, and its other properties, are not confined to this genus ; they are
found equally in the roots of Triroiium alpinum, vulgarly called Mountain liquorice ; in those of the A'brus
precatonus. from which a pectoral draught is prepared in Hindoostan, called Velti, and in others. The barks
of some trees of the leguminous class, are remarkable for their bitterness, and are used as febrifuges ; the dif-
ferent kinds of Geoffroya possess this bitter and febrifugal quality in a remarkable degree; in India, the
bark of the /Eschynomene grandiflora and of the Cssalptnia bonducella are employed for the same purpose.
The barks of many leguminous plants are aiso remarkable for their astringent qualities, caused by the
quantity of tannin which they are found to contain ; this is observable in the Acacia Catechu, and in the
i arabica, which is used for tanning leather, and elsewhere. It is well known that almost all coloring
matter proceeds from the extractive principle ; and as it appears that this principle abounds in leguminosa?,
we ought to find in them a considerable number of the colors which are used by dyers : to this family, in fact,
belong the principal blue colors, known by the name of indigo, extracted from every kind of Indigofera and
from some Galegaa j and the red colors, which are yielded by all the species of Ctesalpinia and of Haematoxy-
lon. We may add the red juice, which is drawn from the Pterocarpus draco and Santalinus, under the name
of sandal and of dragon's-blood ; Irom Krythrinamonosperma, under the name of gum lac ; and also from l)al-
bergia monetaria. These juices appear to differ in many particulars, hut their history and analysis are at present
so far from being known, that it is impossible to form a true estimate of the nature of their differences. But
anomalies of this nature are far from being confined to the plants just mentioned. Among the exotic drugs
employed in the arts thev are very common : such, for example, are the balsam of Capivi, produced by the
i fera ; the balsam of Pern, w hich, Mutis says, is obtained Irom Myroxvlon ; the Cachou, w Inch has been
found to be almost pure tannin, and which is supposed to l>e produced by Acacia ( '.itechu ; of the same cha-
racter is that remarkable resin that is yielded by Hvineii;e\ Courbaril ; gum Arabic, produced by the hark
and roots of Acacia Senegal. iisiN mlotiea, arabica, and others; gum tragacanth obtained from Astragalus
creticus, gnmmiiera, and w'rus ; and finally, manna, secreted by HiiKsarum alhagi."
The arrangement of this tribe of plains has been found to be attended with much difficulty. By Linnteus,
and the writers who succeeded him, the number of genera was much smaller than those admitted by botanists
of the present age; many additions have been D -quciicc of the discovery of New Holland, and a
large number of lubdivistons in old genera have been from lime to time introduced by one writer or another.
To combine these scattered improvements under one uniform system has lately been attempted by the learned
botanist, from whom the foregoing extract has been taken. This was not executed at the time when thoso
parts of the present work, in which leguminous plants are found, were written ; for which reason the names

of the suborders will not be found in the body of the work. M. Decandolle's method, however, being here
adopted, it will be useful to explain the principles upon which it is founded. He divides Leguminosx into two
grand divisions, the first of which consists of plants, the radicle of whose seed is curved back upon the edge of
the cotyledons, and the second of those whose radicle and cotyledons are straight : the former are Curvem-
brl£, the latter RectembrijE. In the Curvembrite, certain diversities in the structure of the calyx and corolla
again divide into two principal forms, one of which, comprehending all the genera with papilionaceous flowers,
is called Papilionacea?, and the other, consisting of a very small number of species, with one or two petals or
more, and an obscurely lobed calyx, is called Swartziea?. The last is not subdivided, but the Papilionacea;
resolve themselves into the two great tribes pointed out by M. Decandolle, namely, those with fleshy cotyle-
dons and eatable pulse, Sarcolob<E, and those with foliaceous cotyledons and seeds which are not eatable,
Phyllolobie. Each of these is divisible by three, upon slight differences in the fructification. In Rcctembrice
two suborders, Mimosea; and Cassalpineae, are formed upon variations in the aestivation of the calyx and
corolla; in the former, it is valvate, in the latter, imbricated; the first constitute a single tribe, the latter
divide into three, distinguished by less momentous peculiarities cf structure. Having premised thus much,
the following tabular explanation will be intelligible :

Order LX. ROSACEA
With the exception of Chrysobalaneae and Sanguisorbea?, this order is so uniform in its appearance, that
Rosa, the type from which all the other genera are to be considered variations, when justly understood, will
be found to contain every form of structure which is essential to the order. Having stated this, it will be at
once obvious, that if the other genera have such close affinity to Rosa, they must also bear a great analogy in
beauty. And this is, indeed, the fact. Amfgdalus and Priinus among trees, and Potentilla, Geum, and
others, among herbaceous genera, rival the rose in their blossoms, and, in many particulars, surpass that most
lovely of all flowers in foliage and general appearance. But it is not for charms alone of smell, or blossom, or
foliage, that this order has fixed itself so high in the estimation of mankind. It has also the rare merit of
comprehending all the most important of the fruits of the temperate regions of the world. Thus the apple
and the pear belong to Pyrus, the plum and the apricot to Primus, the peach and the nectarine to Am^gdalus ;
Eriobotrya produces the loquat, Mespilus the medlar, and finally, the quince is borne by the Cydonia. The
medical powers of many plants of this order arc not less active than their fruit is excellent. The principal of
these is the well-known Prussic acid, which exists in abundance in the leaves and kernels of many genera,
especially of Prfinus and Amygdalus : it is the basis of Laurel water, which, when taken in small doses, acts
either as a violent purgative or as an emetic ; and, in stronger doses, is said to destroy irritability without
exciting inflammation ; these properties, however, although thus dangerous in the distilled water of the laurel
and other similar plants, can scarcely be said to exist in any important quantity in the plants in a state of
nature. The kernel of the bitter almond, for example, in which the Prussic acid is more abundant than
usual, is used for many culinary and other purposes without any bad effect There are, however, cases in
which it is said to be dangerous to eat the fresh leaves or kernels; as in the Prfinus virginiana, the leaves and
fruit of which are reputed in the United States to be poisonous to certain animals. Besides the Prussic acid,
there are several other principles which abound in the order. All Drupaceae yield a gum which is nearly
allied to gum Arabic, and which affords a strong evidence of the affinity that exists between Rosacea; and
I^eguminosa?. A great deal of astringency is found in many species, whence different parts have been
occasionally employed as febrifuges, and as remedies for hemorrhage, diarrhoea, and dysentery. The root of
the Tormentilla is used for tanning in the Ferro Isles ; and that of the Capollim cherry in Mexico. The bark
of Prfinus virginiana is used as a febrifuge in the United States ; Potentilla rcptans has been praised for the
same properties. The root of Gtum urbanum has been found, by Milandi and Moretti, to contain one eleventh
of its weight of tannin ; it has been used both in America and Europe as a substitute for Jesuit's bark. The
leaves of Dr^as octopetala in the north of Europe, of Rfibus arcticus in Norway, of Prfinus spinosa and avium,
and of Rosa rubiginosa have been manufactured into a sort of substitute for tea. The bark of the root of
Gillenia trifoliata is remarkable in having, in addition to the astringency already mentioned, an emetic
property, on which account it is employed in North America as Ipecacuanha. It is said, that a similar powei
exists in other Spiraeas.
It must not be omitted, that the order Rosaces nearly answers to the Icosandria of Linnaeus.

Order LXI. SALICARI.JE
Most of these are very showy plants, in particular the genera Lj thrum and Lagerstrce'mia, which are the
representatives of the order. They are chiefly natives of temperate climates, on mountains and among bushes.
Glaux and Peplis are common shore plants in England. Heimia is remarkable for its yellow flowers. Little
is known of the properties of Salicarize ; they are mostly astringent ; the common Salicaria is used in inveterate
diarrhoeas; a species of Lythruin is used in Mexico as a vulnerary and astringent, and Lawsonia, which is
used by the Turkish women to stain their nails, is also supposed to possess similar properties. There is a plant
of this order called Hanchinol in Mexico, which is said to possess much more remarkable powers than any of
the preceding; its expressed juice, taken in doses of four ounces, excites violent perspiration and secretion of
urine, and is said to cure venereal disorders in an incredibly short space of time.

Order LXII. MELASTOMACEJE.
All these are remarkable as handsome tropical shrubs or trees, with large purple or white flowers, and leaves
with several costas, or nerves as they are incorrectly termed. The genera admitted in the body of the work
are those received by the greater part of previous writers ; they have been much increased, and apparently
with great propriety, by Mr. D. Don. The species are generally ill treated in collections, where they are not
unfrequently to be found under the form of sickly stunted plants, instead of noble broad-leaved spreading
shrubs, with masses of brilliant flowers. To be grown well they require much heat, much moisture during the
summer, and much pit-room and head-room. The fruit of true Melastomas is a fleshy insipid juicy berry,
which is for the most part eatable, and is often so deep a black as to dye the teeth and mouths of those who
eat it They are nearly related to Myrtaceae, from which they differ in the want of essential oil, and of the
dot-like reservoirs of the leaves which contain it. The juice of the leaves of M. succosa and alata is used as a
lotion for recent wounds by the inhabitants of Guiana.

Order LXI11. MYRTACE.E.
Dotted leaves, with marginal ribs, and an inferior ovarium and single style, are the great features of Myr-
taceae. They are all fine evergreen shrubs or trees, generally bearing white flowers, and in the first section
producing fleshy fruit. It is there that the Allspice, the Clove, the Rose-apple, and the Guava find their station,
by the side of the common myrtle and pomegranate of Europe. The section with capsular fruit comprehends,
with the exception of the gigantic Eucalyptuses, almost wholly, handsome hard-wooded New Holland or South
Sea shrubs, with white or crimson flowers and stamens ; yellow flowers are very uncommon. The volatile oil
contained in the little reservoirs of the bark, the leaves, and the floral envelopes, gives these plants the
fragrance which has caused them to be celebrated by poets of all ages. It is very aromatic, a little acrid, and
slightly tonic and stimulant, whether it is under the form of Cajeputi oil, the produce of Melaleuca leucaden-
dron, or of oil of cloves or of myrtle. In the clove this oil is so abundant as to constitute nearly a fifth of the
whole weight of the calyxes that produce it. There is also a considerable proportion of astringent principle in
these plants; in the bark of the pomegranate it is very obvious ; and in Myrtus regni and luma of Chile, Eu-
genia malaccensis, it is so abundant as to render a decoction of those plants of great use in cases of dysentery.
Eucalyptus resinifera produces an astringent resinous substance resembling gum Kino. The leaves of the
Chilian myrtles, Leptospermum scoparium, and some other species, have been used as substitutes for tea.

Combretum and Quisqualis are among the most splendid of the climbing plants of the tropics, adorning the
trees from which they depend with garlands of white and crimson, and yellow. The bark of Bi'icida Buceras
is used with success in Guiana for tanning leather. The juice of Terminalia vernix is employed by the Chinese
as a varnish ; it is, however, caustic, and its exhalation dangerous; benzoin is the produce of Terminalia
Benzoin. The kernel of several species is eaten as a nut, and the expressed oil has the remarkable quality
of not becoming rancid.

Order LXV. PASSIFLORE^.
The beauty of Passifloras is well known ; they are remarkable for the singular arrangement of the stamens
and pistillum, upon a column surrounded by several lines of circumvallation, formed by as many rows of
barren thread-like colored stamens, which are popularly called the rays. The fruit of several species of passion-
flower is filled with a pleasant acidulated pulp, on which account they are eaten as dessert fruit. It is not
known that they possess any medical properties. The station of the order is not settled; it is undoubted!)
veiy near Cucurbitaceae.
1459 Passiflora W. 2075 Modecca 'Lam.
Order LXVI. CUCURBITACE.E.
Here is the station of the gourd, the melon, and the cucumber, succulent climbing vegetables, the fruit of
which administers to us many of our comforts and necessities. The importance of the gourd in hot countries
is of the highest degree, where, from the nature of the climate, few of those culinary vegetables that are so
abundant in the north can be made to succeed. Among these tribes of climbing annuals, the papaw tree is a
remarkable deviation from the ordinary character of the vegetation. Its fruit, however, and floweis are in
all respects those of Cucurbitacese. The fruit is mostly sweet, watery, refreshing, and pleasant to the palate;
but the coloquintida gourd, the spirting cucumber, and the Trichosanthes amara, are all possessed of
violent bitter, drastic, purgative qualities, which are, indeed, to be found, in a slight degree, even in the
mildest of the eatable gourds. M. Dccandolle observes, that as the violent action of the Colocinth resin is
Jnuch softened by the mixture with it of gum, it is probable that the difference in the fruits of the order de-
pends upon the different proportions between these two substances. The seeds of the gourd, like those of the
NATURAL ARRANGEMENT. 10Gi>
passion-flower, possess none of the properties of the palp ; they are sweet and nutty, and readilv form an emitl-
■tan. The root* of the bryony are purgative, but also contain a Tholwnme la-iul.i. It it Hid thai the roots of
a species of bryony are eaten in Abyssinia, alter being merely boded. There are some Cue urbitaceae, the
root! of which arc intensely bitter ; those, of one of this description are used in Peru, to remove the pains
attendant upon inveterate venereal disorders.

Obscure weeds, chiefly distinguished from Onagrarise, by their naked and solitary ovula. They are natives

Order LXIX. ONAGRARI.E.
A very well defined order, generally known by its pollen cohering, by a sort of filamentous substance, an
inferior polyspermous ovarium, a tetrasepalous tetrapetalous flower, with a definite number of stamens, and a
single style. From this form there are some anomalous variations, such as Circs'a and Lopt'zia, which are,
however, easily reconciled to the usual structure of the order. Most of the genera are pre-eminently beauti-
ful ; as Epilobium, CEnothera, and Fuchsia, which are old favorites among gardeners. The properties of
Onagraria? are little known, and probably very weak. The leaves of Jussiae'a peruviana are used as an emol-
lient poultice, the seed of Trapa natans as an eatable nut, and the root of Oenothera biennis as a sort of
salad.

These are all plants with a greater or less degree of succulence ; the Mesembryanthemums and Hymeno-
gyne are well-known dry-stove plants, many of which are beautiful in the highest degree. Of the former
of these two, the flowers are of all colors, many of the most vivid hues, and remarkable for expanding
only beneath bright sunshine ; this phenomenon, indeed, is common to the whole order. Tetragonia ex.
pjnsa, Sisuvium portulacastrum, and Mesembryanthemum edele, are excellent substitutes for summer
spinach. A large quantity of saline matter is contained in all of them ; in Reaumuria vermiculata, a sub-
stance is secreted, which has been found by chemical analysis to consist of muriate of soda and nitrate of
po'ash. The whole order grows in very dry or saline places, in the temperate regions of the world. Four
fifths of the whole are natives of the Cape of Good Hope. The leaves of the different species of Mesembryan-
themum, offer the most remarkable instances of figure known in the vegetable world.

lane, which are occasionally used as salads, being the only species of a useful kind. They are chiefly herba-
ceous plants, frequenting dry barren situations, or the sea-shore of all parts of the world ; all are insipid and
inodorous, and destitute, as far as is known, of medicinal properties. Some of the kinds of Tamarix have an
astringent tonic bark, and yield, when burnt, a large proportion of sulphate of soda. Turnera resembles a
t'istus.

Order LXXII. CACTI.
All succulent plants destitute for the most part of leaves, the place of which is supplied by fleshy stems of
the most grotesque figure ; some angular, and attaining the height of thirty feet, others roundish, covered
with stiff spines, like the hedgehog, and not exceeding the stature of a few inches. Their flowers are in many
c.im's large and remarkably specious, varying from pure whiteto rich scarlet and purple, through all the inter-
mediate gradations of colors. The species are chiefly natives of the hottest and dryest parts of the tropics, and
are cultivable with little care, in pots filled with rubbish, in a dry-stove. Their fruit is fleshy and watery, and
generally insipid, but it is eaten in their native countries for the sake of its refreshing moisture and coolness.
Two k(jecies ofOpnntia are hardy in Great Britain. The characters of this order and the next are very
similar, although their habit is so widely different. Cacti are sometimes called Nopaleae.
1111 Cactus W 1112 Rhlpsalis G<srt.
Order LXXIII. GROSSULACE.K.
Distinguished from the last by the definite number of their stamens and woody leafy stems. The utility and
excellence of the gooseberry and currant are known to every one. None of the other species equal these,
although the fruit of several possesses considerable excellence. The berry of most of these is sweet, watery,
and acid, but that of Kibes nigrum, and a few more, is tonic and stimulant, which appears to have some con-
nection with the presence of glands upon the leaves of those species.
550 Ribes IV.
Order LXXIV. SEMPERVIVE^E.
Still another order of succulent plants, but with a habit very different from that of those which have gone
before. The species are often characterised by the rosulate or densely imbricated arrangement of their
leaves, but this is not by any means a universal character. They are natives, for the most part, of dry bar-
ren places in Europe, North Africa, and the Cape of Good Hope, and are cultivable with ease in pots of dry
rubbish. Many of them have extremely beautiful flowers, especially those of the genera Sempenivum and
Crassula, which are either white, yellow, or deep rose color. Their leaves are used medicinally as refrigerant
■ud abstergent ; they are also, in a slight degree, astringent, and in Sedum acre so acrid, that, taken internally,

they oper.\te violently both as purgatives and emetics. The leaves of Sedum telephium are occasionally
eaten as a vegetable, but they are always found to leave behind a slight and unpleasant taste of burning.

Order LXXV. SAXIFRAGEJE
The whole of these plants constitute the glory and delight of the cultivator of alpine plants. This is to be
attributed to the neatness and perpetual verdure of their leaves, and the exquisite simplicity and elegance of
their flowers, rather than to any striking attractions, of which they are wholly destitute: their blossoms
being generally white or pale pink, occasionally becoming brownish-purple. All the genuine species are
humble herbaceous plants, affecting mountainous situations, but occasionally found in marshes by the sides of
springs, and even upon dry walls. AH are natives of cold regions, or of the most temperate mountainous
situations of hot ones. They are slightly astringent ; some of them, as Heuchera americana, eminently so.
Infusions of the leaves have been reckoned lithontriptic, and the powdered root of the last-named plant is
used with success in cancerous disorders. Hydrangea, which is shrubby, is not a legitimate inhabitant of
the order.

Order LXXVI. PHILADELPHEJE.
This consists at present of a single genus, which was formerly referred to Myrtaceas, but which has lately
been separated with much acuteness by Mr. Don. The species are hardy ornamental shrubs, natives of North
America, with white flowers; in some cases fragrant. Nothing is known of their properties.
1114 Philadelphus W.
Order LXXVII. CUNONIACEA.
These were formerly included in Saxifrages, from which Mr. Brown first distinguished them. They are
shrubs of the southern hemisphere, mostly with pinnated leaves and white flowers. Callicoma and Baue>a,
which have simple leaves, are elegant green-house shrubs. The bark of a species of Weinmannia is employed
in Peru for tanning leather, and is said to be also used for adulterating the quinquina. Nothing is known of
the properties of the remainder.

Order LXXVIII. ARALIACE.E.
Araliaces are a slight divergence from the well-known Umbelli ferae, with which they nearly agree in habit,
except in being frutescent, and from which they are obviously distinguished by their 5-celled fruit. Their
flowers have no beauty, but the foliage of many is extremely fine, especially of the species of Actinophyllum ;
that of our common ivy must not be omitted. Their medicinal properties are much the same as those of
Umbellifera;, except the fruit, which differs in virtues as it does in botanical structure. Their bark exudes
an aromatic gum resin, as in Aralia umbellifera. Their roots are tonic, with, in some cases, the flavor of
parsnep The famous ginseng, which is produced by a Panax, is reputed to have powerful tonic, restorative,
and even aphrodisiacal qualities; but it is probable that these have been greatly exaggerated.

Order LXXIX. UMBELLIFERA.
One of the least attractive groups of plants, and at the same time one of the most important to the
world. They are not more useful as food than they are dangerous as poison ; while in their native ditches
they are often suspicious lurid weeds but under the influence of cultivation they lay aside their venom, and
become wholesome food for man. They are generally recognised by their hollow stems and cut leaves, with
what botanists call a sheathing petiole ; that is to say, with a petiole, the base of which wraps round the stem.
Their flowers are mostly white or greenish, rarely, as in Astrintia, some species of Caucalis, and others, of a
pink color. The inflorescence is umbellate, and their fruit consists of two ribbed portions, improperly called
seeds, which are held together by a common axis, and a thickened discus. All are natives of damp ditches or
way-sides, in cool parts of the world ; in the tropics they are either extremely rare or wholly unknown, and
when present, have generally a character unlike that of our European species. The simplicity of their
structure, and uniformity of their appearance, has rendered their classification a matter of very great difficulty.
It has been attempted in modern days by Lagasca, Sprengel, and Koch, all of whom have added something to
our knowledge; but much still remains to be done. The arrangement of Professor Sprengel, objectionable as
it is many points, is here adopted as the most perfect, upon the whole, of any yet published. The culinary
and agricultural importance of many species is well known ; the parsnep and carrot form a large part of the
staple winter store of the inhabitants of Europe, as the Arracachas do of those of South America ; and the
Prangos of Thibet is supposed to be the most important and productive of any in the whole world, as a
forage plant. The medicinal properties of Umbellifera; are not more powerful than they are at variance with
each other. While the seeds of some are aromatic, and stimulating in the highest degree, the fresh roots and
leaves of others are not less narcotic. This has been supposed to arise from the difference in the state of the
sap in different parts of the plant; and it has been thought that the narcotic principle is only to he
found in the ascending sap, while the aromatic stimulant properties are found in the juices, which are fully
elaborated and matured. It has been already observed, that their dangerous properties are often removed by
cultivation ; the common celery is a familiar instance of this ; but the most remarkable, that of G2nanthe
pimpinelloides, a most dangerous species when wild, which is cultivated about Angers for the sake of its roots,
which are there called Jouanettes, and about Saumur, where they are known by the name of Mechons. The
roots of some Umbellifera; contain a large proportion of sugar; those of the carrot, when dried, more than an
eighth ; those of the parsnep just an eighth ; and those of the chervil about eight parts in 100. Galbanum,
Upopanax, and Assafcetida, are all the produce of different species of Umbellifera;.

Oruer LXXX. RHIZOPHORE.E.
The mangroves are plants of arborescent stature, which are remarkable, in tropical countries, for growing
upon the shores of the sea, even as far as low water. The seeds have the singular property of germinating,
while enclosed within the capsule, and adhering to their parent, and pushing forth a long thread-like radicle,
which lengthens till it reaches the soil, where it takes root, and forms a new individual. The bark of
Rhizophora gymnorhiza, which is very astringent, is used in India for dying black.

Order LXXXII. CAPRIFOLIACEjE.
This is an eminently beautiful order, consisting either of twining or erect shrubs with clusters of trumpet-
shaped fragrant flowers, or of fine bushes having cymes of white blossoms. The honeysuckle is the repre-
sentative of the former, the dogwood of the latter. Here too is found the modest and delicate Linnae'a,
which, however inferior its attractions for the vulgar eye may be to those of its more ostentatious neighbour*.
yields to none of them in elegance or interest for the botanist. All the genera have a more or less astringent
bark ; that of Lonicera corymbosa is used in Chile for dying black ; that of Cornus florida in North America
in intermittent fevers, as is also the bark of Cornus sericea, which, according to Barton, is scarcely inferior to
Quinquina The Elders are the link between honeysuckles and umbelliferous plants, to the latter of which
they are allied by their stinking divided foliage and half herbaceous habit ; their flowers are sudorific and sopo-
rific in a high degree, their leaves and inner bark are emetics and drastic purgatives. Triosteum perforatum
is intermediate between this order and Rubiacea?, with the former of which it agrees in its purgative, and
with the latter in its emetic, qualities, which resemble those of ipecacuanha. All Caprifoliaceaelove shady cool
places in both hemispheres ; but few have been found in such as endure a very severe climate.

Order LXXXIII. LORANTHE.E.
None of these are cultivable; they are all genuine parasites rooting beneath the bark of the trees on which
they grow, and deriving from their juices the whole of their nutriment. The Viscums have little or no
beauty, but the Loranthi are among the most lovely of plants, hanging in clusters of rich scarlet flowers
from the branches of trees in the tropics, which they often clothe with a beauty not their own. The misletoe
of the Druids it supposed to have been the Loranthus europaAis, the common Viscum never being seen upon
the oak, while the Loranthus inhabits no other tree. If this be so, the latter must have once existed in this
n although now extinct. It has been suggested, that all vestiges of their religion were extirpated with
thi Druids, which will account for the Loranthus having disappeared wherever that religion formerly held its
sway.
2054 Viscum W.
ORDEn LXXXIV. RUBIACEiE.
Opposite entire leaves with intervening stipula?, a monopetalous superior corolla, with a definite number of
stamens and a bilocular ovarium, are the great characteristics of Rubiacea?; an order of such extent that it
embraces ■ very larire pro|>nrtion of the whole of phamogamous plants, including within its limits humble
and lofty tries, plants with important medicinal qualities and flowers of varied dyes, and herbs of
neither value nor beaut; as far as has yet been ascertained. The sections into which the order has been
divided are merely artificial, with the exception of St el lata?, which are the representatives of the order in
northern regions. Among these the Ri'ibia, or madder, is the most important on account of its dye; Galium
also possesses some qualities of minor consequence, which have been already indicated in the body of this
work. Among the other sections, the plants of beauty or value are innumerable :' of the former description, the
genera Icon, Bjuvardia, Catesba?'a, Pnrtlandia, Coutarea, Gardenia, Mussar*nda, Hamftlia, Ccphaelis, Ce-
phalanthus, and many others, are notable examples; to the latter, every genus has a contribution of one kind
or another. The root of Oldcnl&ndia umbellata is employed in India for staining nankin ; that of Morinda
umbellata in the Moluccas, and of Morinda citrifdlia in India, is used for dying red and brown. The
potent febrifugal properties of the Cinch6na need not be insisted on ; it is less generally known that the bark
of Pinckneya pfibens, Macrocm-inum corymbosum, Guettarda coccinea, and Portlandi.-i grandiflora, possesses
similar, but weaker powers. The bark and roots of Antirhoa are used, in the Isle of Bourbon, to stop hemor-
rhage , and that of Morinda Kovoc is used for ink. Astringent properties of a very marked character are
found in the juice of Nauclea Gamhir of Hunter, and the L'ncana Gambir of Roxburgh, both which arc
often improperly confounded with Gum kino, which is the produce of a very different plant. Some of the
species formerlv comprehended under the genus Cinch6na, but since separated by the name of Exostemma,
possess strong emetic powers. The same qualities exist in Psychotria emttica Cephaells, I|K?cacuAnha,
107a

and Psychotria herbScea, which are often used as ipecacuanha. The seed of the Coffea furnishes the valuable
beverage which is so much esteemed in Europe and the East, under the name of coffee.

Order LXXXV. OPERCULARINE.2E.
' Exotic weeds, nearly related to Rubiaceae. Their properties are unknown. M de Jussieu has remarked
that their affinity to Valerianeae is supported by the curious circumstance, that birds devour the young Bhoots
of the Opercularias as they do those of the Corn-salads.

Order LXXXVI. VALERIANEiE.
Small herbaceous plants, more interesting for the sake of their symmetry and neatness, than on account of
any particular attractions : they may be considered a connecting link between Rubiaceae and Dipsaceas.
Many of the Valerians, and all the Patrinias, are pretty plants. The Valerian<Hlas are useful esculents,
known under the name of corn-salads. Their medicinal properties are of a decisive character. The roots
of Valeriana officinalis, Phu, and others, are bitter, tonic, aromatic, antispasmodic, and vermifugal ;
they are occasionally used as febrifuges. The odour of Valerian is not generally agreeable, but the Orientals
collect with care, on the mountains of Austria, the roots of Valeriana celtica, with which they perfume their
baths ; and the natives of India, at this day, employ the Valeriana jatamansi, the spikenard of old times, as a
perfume, and against hysterics and epilepsy.

Very nearly akin to Composite, of which they have nearly the habit. All are herbaceous plants with
flowers growing in heads. Some of the Scabiosas are very handsome, and popular border flowers. The whole
tribe is cultivated with great facility. Some of the species of Scabi6sa have been employed as diaphoretic and
antisyphilitiCj but are now neglected.

Order LXXXVIII. CALYCERE.E.
Obscure weedy South American plants, differing from Composite, chiefly in the position of their ovula.
1842 Acicirpa Juss.
Order LXXXIX. COMPOSITE.
A most extensive and natural order, obviously characterized by the cohesion of their antheras, and the
arrangement of their florets in involucrated heads, or calathidia, as they are now called. Most of them may
be said to be ornamental plants, and yet but a very few hold that station in the opinion of the public. It is
difficult to account for this circumstance, nor is this the place to enter upon such an investigation ; certain,
however, it is, that with the exception of Dahlias, the varieties of Chrysanthemum sinense, and a few Calen-
dulas and Arct6tises, and perhaps Tagetes, scarcely a single Composita now finds a place in a fashionable
flower garden. The prevailing color of the flower in the order is yellow ; red, purple, or scarlet, being com.
paratively uncommon. The species inhabit every part of the world, and in all, perhaps, in nearly equal pro-
portions : — in Europe and the north of the world they are chiefly herbaceous ; but within the tropics, they
are more frequently frutescent. Their medical properties are very important ; Tussilago farfara, Chamomile,
I'nula, Solidago Virgaurea, Matricaria Partlienium, Stevia febrifuga, and Eupatorium perfoliatum, are
instances of the presence of tonic and febrifugal properties ; Tanacetum and Santolina are anthelmintic; Matri-
caria and the Achilleas emmenagogue ; some Eupatoriums, Achilleas, Artemisias, and Calendulas, are sudorific ;
certain Liatrises are diuretic, and Erigeron philadelphicum is both sudorific and diuretic. Ptarmica and
A'rnica are sternutatory, and Spilanlhes, SiegesWckia orientalis, A'nthemis pyrethrum, and others, power-
fully excite salivation ; finally, many Achilleas, Chamomile, Tanacetum, and Eupat6riums, are tonic and
antispasmodic. Others seem to possess all these properties combined, and are reckoned among the best
alexiterics, as the Ayapana of Brazil, and the Guaco of Peru. Every one knows the excellent and refreshing
flavor communicated to vinegar by Tarragon : the same effects are produced in the Alps by Achillea nana,
Artemisia glacialis, rupestris, and spicata. Some species of Achillea, Bellis, and Artemisia have been used as
substitutes for tea. The seeds of many Composite, as Madia and Verbesina, yield a copious oil ; and the fleshy
roots of Helianthus tuberosus, a wholesome food for man. The juice of Lactuca virosa is highly narcotic, and
has been even employed with extraordinary advantage as a substitute for opium. It is not necessary to men-
tion the utility of the leaves of the lettuce, the endive, the succory, the cardoon, or the roots of Scorzorera
and Salsafis, as culinary productions ; they must be familiar to all our readers ; as also the fleshy receptacle of
the artichoke and some other plants. The flowers of Echinops strigosus are used as a kind of tinder ; those
NATURAL AH It A NG EM K XT.

of the artichoke, the cardoon, and otncrs, have the power of curdling milk. The arrangement of Composite-
is attended with extreme difficult; ; the greatest progress that hai yet been made in reducing them to order
baa been with BLCassini, by whom they are called Synantheren: but unfortunately! the remarki of that
learned botanist are so scattered anil Unconnected, that the public has hitherto been able to derive little benefit
from his labors. His general arrangement is here adopted, but for the reasons now given, his genera have not
been enquired after, as. until they shall have been more completely systematized, the adoption of them would
necessarily be Full of errors, which would only add to the confusion that already too extensively exists. Those
who wish to make themselves masters of this very interesting and difficult branch of systematic botany, should
consult the Opuscules phytologiquej of M (assini, and Mr. Brown's elaborate essay on the structure of
CompoaittB, in the Transaction! of the linnean Society.

Like the last, the properties of this very small but curious order are, if any, undiscovered. All are inhabit-
ants of New Holland, and either herbs or half-herbaceous shrubs. They have pink flowers, ornamented with
glittering glands ; their stamens are united into a column, which is terminated by a sessile stigma, and
which is irritable in 60 high a degree, that, if touched with a pin, it instantly starts from its nlace with great
elasticity.
1932 Stylidium R. Br.
Order XCIII. GESNERIE.E.
Fine tropical herbs, with broad, fleshy, downy leaves, and purple or scarlet flowers. They all require stove
heat, and decayed vegetable soil ; in their native country, which is chiefly equinoctial America, they are
found growing in the woods, where the earth is little more than a bed of rotten leaves and bark.
1290 Gesncria W. 1291 Gloxinia If.
Order XCIV. ER1CF..E.
These are distinguished from the neighbouring orders by their polygpermoua fruit, aristafc anthers, and dry
shrubby habit. Every genus is eminently beautiful, and worthy of the most assiduous cultivation. The first
tribe is a native of hill-sides and open plains, chiefly of the extra-tropical regions of the earth. Some are
famous for their beauty, some for their fragrance, and many for their foliage. The heaths are the glory
of the Cape, the Arbutuses of Europe, the Andromedasof America, and Clethra of the Canaries. The second
trdie is distinguished from the rest by its inferior berry, and is not less valuable for its fruit than conspicuous
for its beauty. The species are principally North American. Monotropca? stand in their systematic station as
they grow in their native woods, lowly herbs among thickets of bushes and trees. Rhodoracea;, once con-
sidered a distinct order, are chiefly North American ; their flowers arc less tubular than those of true Ericea? ;
but their habit is not materially different ; here the Azalea the Kalmia, and the Rhododendron, the pride of
European gardens, as they are of their native woods, find their station. The utility of the fruit of Vacclnium
is well known j its bark is reckoned tonic, stimulant, and astringent, ami their fruit slightly styptic. The
berries of A'rbutus iiva-drsi are considered lithontriptic ; its leaves have also been employed successfully in
infusions in obstinate cases of gonorrhoea. Extract of Chimaphila umbellata, in the form of pills, in doses of
five scruples a day, has been found successful in cases of dropsy. Some of the species are possessed of narcotic
qualities; this is the case with Ledum, Rhododendron chrysanthum, and especially Azalea pontica; honey
obtained from the juice of which is said by Xenophon, to have caused the death of many soldiers in the famous
retreat of the ten thousand. An infusion of Rhododendron maximum is used in America in cases of chronic
rheumatism, and that of Rhododendron ponticum in Asia, against gout and rheumatism.

OrdebXCVI. SAPOTE.E.
f These are also shrubs, which are mostly evergreen, and natives of the warmer regions of the world. Some
«f the Bumelias are found in the southern states of N. America, but none of the order exists in Europe.
They are chiefly valuable for their fruit, which, in many cas»s, contributes richly to the dessert. Mimusops
el^ngi, Imbricaria malabarica, Sideroxylon spinosum, are all of this description ; the star apples of the West
Indies, the produce of several species of Chrysophyllum, and particularly of C. cainito, are esteemed delicious ;
and the Medlars, Lucumas, and Sapotillas of equinoctial America, all the fruit of different kinds of A'chras,
are among the most valuable productions of the western world. The seeds of all the order are oily : those of
A'chras sapota are accounted diuretic and aperient. Their oil is not fluid, but so concrete as to have the
appearance and consistence of butter, whence the name of butter-tree has been applied to different species
both in Africa and India. The most famous of this description is the Indian mava, mahva, or madhuca, the
Bassia butyracea of botanists ; the seeds of which are so oleaginous, that a single tree has been known to
produce three quintals of oil ; the dried flowers of the same tree are mixed by some Indians with their food,
and a kind of spirit is distilled from them by others. The juice of all the sapotas is milky, but not acrid and
poisonous like that of most other lactescent orders, but, on the contrary, yielding a wholesome beverage or
food. Here is supposed to belong the famous Palo de Vaca, or Cowtree of South America, the trees of which
are regularly milked by the inhabitants of the districts in which it grows. According to Brown, the bark of
some of the A'chrases is so astringent and febrifugal as to be substituted for quinquina.

Slirubs with serrated leaves, turning yellow in drying, and small white flowers which are sometimes fragrant.

Order XCVIII. EBENACEiE.
Some of these are hardy trees or shrubs, with deciduous leaves and white flowers, natives of woods, moun.
tains, and banks of streams in North America and Europe ; others are tropical evergreens. Among the
former, the best known are the Snow-drop tree, or Halesi, with pendent shewy white blossoms ; and the
different species of Styrax : of the latter, many of the Diospyruses' produce are eatable fruit ; as, for example,
the Mabolo of the Phillippine Islands, which is as big as a peach, and the Kaki of Japan, which resembles an
apricot. All these fruits are remarkable for their extreme austerity before maturity, and the necessity of
letting them decay, like our medlars, before they are fit for table. These are also distinguished for the excessive
hardness of their wood, and for the black colour it sometimes acquires when old, as the Ebony. The bark of
Diospyros virginiana is used in North America in intermittent fevers.

Order XCIX. OLEINiE.
Ine olives are known by their monopetalous corolla, with a valvular aestivation, two stamens alternate with
the segments, a bilocular ovarium with no discus at the base, and pendulous collateral ovula. They were
formerly combined with the jasmines. They have all simple opposite leaves ; their flowers are either white,
yellow, or purple, and frequently fragrant. The Phillyreas are among our finest evergreens, and the Lilac or
Syringa perhaps at the head of hardy deciduous bushes. The ash is an anomalous genus which hardly belongs
to the order. The seed of the olive contains so large a proportion of fixed oil, that it has long been one of
the most important objects of cultivation in the South of Europe. The bark and leaves of many Oleim-e are
bitter and astringent ; these properties are particularly apparent in the ash, which has often been employed
successfully as a febrifuge. From the exudation of many species of that genus, the mild purgative called
manna is formed ; it is most commonly found upon the O'rnus. M. Decandolle remarks, that in proof of the
natural affinity of the plants here combined, and of the propriety of separating the jasmines from them, it has
been found that all the olives as now restricted, will bud or graft upon one another, but not on the jasmines.
Thus the lilac will graft on the ash, the Chionanthus, and the Fontanesia, and even upon Phillyrea latifolia,
and the olive will take upon the Phillyri5a, and even on the ash.

Order C. JASMINES.
Fragrance is the predominant property of the jasmine, and has made it for ages the favourite of poets and
of the people ; this arises from the presence of an oil which can be extracted so as to retain its perfume. In
medicinal qualities, the jasmines do not differ materially from the last ; they are neatly distinguished by
botanists by the direction of their ovula which are erect in Jasminea;, and pendulous in Oleinas.
38 Nyctunthes TV. 39 JasmSnum JV.
Order CI. APOCYNEiE.
We now turn from the contemplation of plants endued with mild and agreeable properties and fragrant,
flowers, and often bearing food for man, to others which are among the most dangerous and fatal poisons ;
whose juices, milky indeed, like the Cowtree, are not a wholesome and delicious beverage like those of Sapotea?,
but on the contrary acrid, caustic, or bitter. They are readily known by the twisted direction of the segments
of the corolla, which have been compared to the rays of a Catherine's wheel, whence they were called by
Linnaus, Contorts. By far the greatest part of the order consists of tropical trees and shrubs : a lew
Apocynums, Amsunias, and Vincas, are natives of the colder zones of the earth. Many are elegant climbers,
as the different species of Echites and Melodinus. The splendid Oleander belongs to Nerium ; the different
species of Pluinieria, Cameriria, Strophantlius, and Arduina are stove plants of the greatest beauty. The
medicinal action of these plants is highly powerful. The Strychnos, or nux vomica tree, is remarkable for its
bitterness and acrid deleterious effects, which are indicated not only when introduced into the stomach, but
still more violently when absorbed into the system by inoculation. In general, the Apocynea? are acrid,
stimulating, and astringent ; these principles, when in excess, act so powerfully on the nerves as to produce
stupefaction. The root of Ophioxylon is very bitter and purgative : under the name of snake-root it is used
in India as an antidote to the bites of serpents. The bark of Cerbera Manghas is purgative ; of Echites
antidysenterica, and the Wrightia of the same name, astringent and febrifugal ; the leaves of the Yinca are
so astringent, that they have been used successfully in tanning ; those of Nerium oleander are said to abound
in free gallic acid. The inspissated juice of a species of Cerbera, known in Mexico under the name of Vcotli,
ii a fatal poison.

Order CII. ASCLEPIADE^L
These differ from the last only in having the stamens united into a sort of fleshy crown, anil the pollen
coherent in masses of a waxy substance like that of Orchidoa'; their properties,' habit and geographical
nage, are much the tame. Periploca is a singular instance of an aaclepiadeoua plant being a hardy shrub,
even other (ruteaoenl tpeciea of the order being natives of countriea where frost is unknown. Hoya compre-
hend- climbing plants, with waxen, clustered, odoriferous flowers distilling honey, l'ergularia is valued for it*
fragrance, (eropegia for its singularity, and Aselepias for beauty and hardiness. Hut the most extraordinary
genera ol the order are Stapelia, I'iaranthus, and Huernia, in which the place of leaves is supplied by fleshy
short stems of various forms, and whose flowers are not less singular for their curious and complex organiza-
tion, than they are remarkable for their strange coloring and spotting, and oflensive for their ftctor. The root
ofOymntma vomitorium, Aselepias curaaafivTca, Ca16tropis procera, and some others, is employed in different
countries for ipecacuanha. An infusion of the root of Aselepias decuinbens has the singular property of
exciting general perspiration ; whence it is successfully used in Virginia for pleurisy. It is very singular
that, in a tribe of plants so generally poisonous as these are, the young shoots of some species should be
an article of food : of this nature are l'ergularia edulis, Periploca escuk'nta, Apocynuin indicum, and several
more.

Order CIII. GENTIANEJE.
An order in some degree intermediate between Polemoniaccse and Scrophularinea?, from both which it is
distinguished both by habit and fruit; some of the genera border closely upon Apocyneaa, The species are
natives of cool or mountainous regions or pools in all parts of the world. The Gentians are mostly dwarf
herbaceous plants, with deep blue flowers ; the latter color, and different shades of orange, being the prevail-
ing hues. They are all pretty, and many beautiful in the highest degree ; but, with a few exceptions, they are
Impatient of cultivation. The medicinal properties of the root of Gentiana lotea, ri.bra, ami purpurea, are
eminently tonic, stomachic, and febrifugal ; their bitterness is second only to Quassia. Similar, but more
feeble virtues, are found in most of the order, especially in Villarsia ovata, Gentiana peruviana, Chiravita,
Iras, ra Walter!, ftc. Spigi'lia anthelmia is used as a vermifuge; and the root of Spigelia marylandica infused
in water as anthelmintic, and in wine as febrifuge. Potalia amara is used in Guiana as an emetic. A kind
of spirit is distilled in Switzerland from the roots of Gentiana, macerated in water.

Nearly the whole of these are twining plants, with shewy flowers expanding beneath the influence of bright
sunshine. A few arc shrubs, but the greater part are herbaceous, and very many annual. 1 hey are fre-
quently, also, weeds, which, from their creeping roots, are difficult to extirpate. All parts of the mold
produce them, from the cold regions of the north to the burning soil of the equator. Ciiscuta is a singular
parasite, wholly destitute of leaves The root of many is rilled with a milky acrid juice, which is very purgative.
Bcammony, Jalap, and some other drugs, are the produce of Convolvulacese. The root of Convolvulus
fl.'.ndus and ■coporillS, and looms' a quamoclit, is stimulatory; that of C onv.'.lviilus batatas, which is the
sweet potato of America and Southern Europe ; and Convolvulus t'dulis are wholesome articles of food,
Hydrolc.e are little known, pretty, herbaceous plants, mostly with blue flowers, native both of cold and
tropical countries; Diapj iisia lappanca being an inhabitant of Lapland mountains, and Hydrolea spindsa of

and a few more are shrubs. They are found abundantly in Europe, Siberia, and the North of Africa, lew
commonly in India, and the equinoctial parts of the world ; in some quantity in North America, and in
tolerable abundance inNew Holland. Within the tropics the order is principally represented by Heliotrdpiums
and Tournefortias ; in colder latitudes by Anchusas, Cynoglossums, herbaceous E'chiums, and the like.
Some are mere weeds, quite unworthy of culture; others are eminently beautiful, as many E'chiums,
Omjsmas, Onosmodiums, Symphytums, and others. In general they are mucilaginous and emollient, qualities
which are especially abundant in the root of Symphytum and Cynoglussum. Pure nitre has been found in
several plants of the order. A red color is given out by Anchusa tinctoria, Lithospermum tinctorium, and
Onosma echioides, which is used in dying. Several plants are employed on the same account in America. The
Hydrophyllea? are often considered as distinct, on account of their capsular fruit and cartilagiuous albumen.
One or two of these are pretty plants, but most of them mere weeds.

Order CX. SOLANE>£.
The baneful nightshade represents this order, which participates very generally in its qualities, although
they are frequently hidden beneath a fairer form, and often much mitigated, Many of the Solanums are very
handsome. The Verbascums, Daturas, and Solaiulras are all plants of great beauty, although the former, on
account of their frequency, are despised in gardens. Capsicums are famous for their pungent fruit and seeds ;
Brunsfelsias for their fragrance, and Nicotianas, or Tobacco, for their foetor. The leaves indeed of the whole
order are disagreeably scented. The usual effect of Solaneaa is narcotic ; but it is thought that this has been
exaggerated, on account of the intense and deleterious properties of A'tropa belladonna. These, accord,
ing to the observations of Vauquelin, depend upon the presence of a bitter nauseous matter which is soluble
in spirits of wine, forming with tannin an insoluble compound, and giving out ammonia when decomposed by
fire. Notwithstanding the narcotic power of the roots of the Mandrake, the Belladonna, and others, those of
the potato are found to contain an abundant fecula, which is among the most valuable food of man. The
leaves of many Solanete are exciting and narcotic, but in very unequal degree, as in Tobacco, Physalis,
Henbane, &c. ; those of the Nightshade excite vertigo, convulsions, and vomiting. The juice of Stramonium
is given in North America, in doses of from twenty to thirty grains, in cases of epilepsy. The fruit of
Physalis Alkekengi is a veterinary diuretic ; that of P. eMulis is used in tarts ; that of Solatium Lycopersicum,
and Melongena, is served at table in various forms, under the name of Tomatoes and Aubergines.

Order CXII. SCROPHTJLARINEJE.
A great part of Linnajus's Didynamia Angiospermia is found here, capsular fruit and didynamous stamens
being among the most obvious characteristics of the order. The species are generally herbs with opposite
leaves, very rarely shrubs ; and natives of mountains, valleys, ditches, woods, and waysides, in all parts of the
world. The Personatte have the palate so prominent as to close up the orifice of the corolla. Ringentes have
the palate open. Some are highly ornamental, as Digitalis, Pedicularis, Calceolaria, &c, others are mere
weeds, as is the case with a large proportion of them. Most of them have a weak unpleasant smell, a bitterish
taste, and acrid and suspicious properties ; but this odor is sweet and aromatic in the Ambulia of Lamarck;
the taste is refreshing in Mimulus luteus, which is a culinary plant in Peru, and the ordinary acrid properties
become emollient in some Antirrhinums. The Rhinanthacea; are remarkable for their astringent tonic bark
and leaves. The leaves and roots of Scrophuhiria aquatica, Gratiola officinalis and peruviana, and Calceolaria,
act as purgatives, or in strong doses produce vomiting : these properties exist, in a high degree, in Digitalis
purpurea. The leaves of this plant, reduced to powder, excite vomiting and vertigo, excite urine and saliva,
and lower the pulse: in too strong doses they cause death ; in moderate doses they are useful in scrophula,
dropsy, asthma, &c.

Oitiiin CX1II. LABIATE.
A portion of Diandria Monogynia, and the whole of Didynamia Gymnospermia of Linnaeus, make up
Labiate, which are characterized by their didynamous stamens, four little nuts or naked seeds, single style, and
Irregular corolla. They are mostly natives of extra-tropical countries, although under the form of Hyptis,
Anisomclcs, I.encas, O'cymuiii, Sec, they are found in the hottest zones of the world. Many are extremely
odoriferous in the leaves, some hear handsome flowers, but by far the greater part are no better than weeds.
They are all remarkable lor their tonic, cordial, and stomachic virtues: they contain both a bitter and an
aromatic principle, in different proportions. The bitterness which is given out in decoctions, resides in a gum-
resinous secretion, abounding in some Tcucriums, which are particularly employed as stomachics, and some-
times as febrifuges : those which abound in essential oil, and which are consequently aromatic, are used as
stimulants, From the different degree of combination Of these principles indifferent plants, they have obtained
various uses ; such as savory, thyme, marjoram, for seasoning of food ; sage, balm, ground ivy for tea ; marum,
marjoram, lavender, and thyme, for sternutatories ; others, such as lavender, mint, balm, and rosemary, for
perfumes. It is a remarkable fact, that the essential oil of all contains camphor, which exists in such quantity
in sage and lavender, that it has been supposed that the separating of it might become an object of commerce.

with no stipuls. The flowers, scarlet, white, or blue, axillary without bractea». These are very near Verbe-
nacece. Stenochilus is the handsomest genus of the order: the Avicennias are shore plants, growing in the
place of the mangrove*, and shooting their long roots to a great distance among the mud, sometimes to the
length of six feet along the surface before they fix themselves. Their medicinal properties, if any, are
unknown.

A mixture of weeds and shewy herbs, of humble creeping plants and of lofty timber trees. Some of the
Vitexes and Cleroilendrums are handsome shrubs : Aloysia is esteemed for the fragrance of its flowers, and
Holmskioldia for the refulgent scarlet of its enlarged calyxes. Tectona produces the famous Indian teakwood.
No properties of consequence have been attributed, by medical men, to any plant of the order, those formerly
ascribed to the vervain and chaste-tree being now disregarded. The species are natives of waysides in Europe,
and of woods and barren plains in the tropics.

ACANTHACE.E.
These are known by the elastic dehiscence of their capsules, and the hooked processes of the seeds. They
are almost entirely tropical herbs or shrubs, with the pubescence, if any, simple or capitate, but never stellate.
Their leaves are opposite, Occasionally arranged in fours, simple and undivided, or very seldom lobed. The
flowers are either in imbricated heads or open racemes, always enclosed in their bracteas ; and are white, blue,
yellow, scarlet, or purple. Some of the species are very shewy, but few of them are cultivated commonly ; a
large proportion are mere weeds. The Thunbcrgias are fine climbers, and the Acanthus mollis, the foliage
of which gave rise to the classical acanthus of architecture, is, perhaps, except Moriua persica, one of the
most interesting of hardy herbaceous plants. It is also one of the few species to which any medical properties
are ascribed, being used sometimes as an emollient by reason of its mucilage. Justicia bi flora is employed in
Egypt as a poultice, J. Ecbulium as a diuretic, and J. pcctoralis as a vulnerary.

Order CXIX. PRIMULACE^E.
Beautiful dwarl herbs, inhabiting the mountains and meadows of all parts of the world, but especially in
the northern hemisphere. Nothing can be more lovely than the little delicate alpine Primulas, Androsaccs,
Aretias, and Soldanellas, with their little modest blossoms, sometimes rivalling the whiteness of the surround,
ing snow, sometimes emulating the intense blue of the empyrean, as if the one had borrowed its hues from
heaven, and the other from the spotless mantle of the earth. Hottonia is a naiad of the stream, inhabiting
several parts of England, in ponds and ditches, which are enlivened for many a month with its rosy Mowers,
peeping from among the sedge and under grass, by which it is environed. All the genera are familiar to gar-
deners, except Centunculus and Schwenckia, of which the former is singular in the order, as being an obscure
minute weed, and the latter has inelegant green flowers, curious to the botanist but ungrateful to the florist.
The prominent botanical character is the one-celled fruit, with a central placenta, and the stamens opposite
the petals. The properties of Primulaceas are feeble and of little consequence ; they appear to be slightly
astringent and bitter ; the root of Cyclamen is acrid, and only eaten by wild boars ; the flowers of the
primrose and cowslip are fragrant, and mildly sudorific and soporific. Cortusa Mathiola has been used ii»

These are properly placed at the limit between Monochlamydeae and Dichlamydea?, to either of which they
are referable in the minds of some botanists, although it appears, upon the whole, to be most convenient to
station them where they are now arranged. They are low shrubs or herbaceous plants, with shewy red or
blue flowers of an arid texture, inhabiting salt marshes and subalpine tracts, in the temperate latitudes of
both the northern and southern hemispheres. All the Statices and Armerias are fine plants worth culti-
vating. The root of Statice Linionium is astringent and tonic; of the Plumbagos, the root and whole plant
are acrid and caustic, and employed as vesicatories.

The absence of corolla characterizes this subdivision of dicotyledonous vegetation ; but as the term
corolla is subject to frequent misunderstanding, it should be borne in mind, that whenever there is only one
floral envelope, that envelope is to be considered calyx, whether green, as in most cases, or colored, as in the
Marvel of Peru.
Order CXX1I. PLANTAGINE.E.
Little inconspicuous herbs found in waste places all over the world. The leaves are stellate, and occasionally
ternate ; the pubescence is jointed ; the flowers are brownish, and arrayed in dense spikes. Their leaves are
rather bitter and astringent; their seeds mucilaginous and rather acrid; those of Plantago arenaria are
imported in large quantities from the south of Fiance, for the purpose of forming an infusion in which
muslins are washed. P. media is sometimes cultivated by farmers under the name of ribgrass.

With the exception of Mirabilis, in which the colored calyx has a shewy effect, all the order consists of
weeds, growing often among the loose sand on the sea coast of the tropics and western hemisphere; none are
found in Europe. The Abronias are curious, neat, and often fragrant. The root of Mirabilis Jalapa was
formerly considered the jalap, which is now known to be an error; it is however purgative, although in a less
degree. Boerhaavia tuben'isa is also a reputed purgative.

Order CXXIV. AMARANTHACE^.
Upon this order Dr. von Marcius has the following remarks : Leaves, especially when young, of a lax soft
texture, abounding in saccharine, mucilaginous, and fibrous particles, and therefore fit for food. The seeds
are farinaceous, consisting chiefly of starch and mucus. Their virtues are nutritive, emollient, demulcent;
the root of Gomphrena officinalis is tonic and stimulant. The species are either gregarious or solitary ;
mostly diffuse and villous, and existing in dry stony exposed places, or erect and reclining on other vegetables,
with little pubescence, when found on the skirts of ancient forests ; a few are found in saline coast places .
finally, they are more common in low land, little elevated above the surface of the sea, than in mountainous
regions. They are met with in both hemispheres ; rarely under the equator, but increasing both north-
wards and southwards as we recede from them ; they are confined to no countries in particular, but are found
to affect all regions of the world. Among an abundance of weeds, we distinguish a few fine plants deserving
cultivation, as the Globe Amaranthus, the Cockscombs, and a few species of Amaranthus, one of which, under
the name of Love-lies-bleeding, is commonlyTeared for the sake of its long, tail-like, pendent masses of crimson
flowers. Amaranthus oleraceus, and a few others, are occasionally cultivated as potherbs.

the contrary have a fleshy perianthum and a very effuse inflorescence. In the former, the stamens are usually

inserted under the ovarium ; in the latter into the calyx, but this mark is not constant. None of tlieni, unless
Phytolacca is excepted, can i>e esteemed plants of ornament ; on the contrary, they have ■ weedy uninviting
appearance, which ii not improved by the t'etiil smell of some of them. But, although tlnir appearance is leas
attractive than that of the Amaranths, their use toman is far more considerable. Their qualities are very
v. in. his ; Camphor ■.-ma baa the smell of camphor ; Petiveria stinks like onions ; Phytolacca loots, leaves, and
berries, are violent purgatives and emetics ; the latter are esteemed in North America nearly equal to Guaiacum,
ami are employed in chronic rheumatisms, and in rheumatic pains following venereal diseases ; an extract of
the berries has been employed in scrophula and cancerous ulcers ; and the young shoots of the plant are eaten
in the United States as asparagus. Some of the Chenopodiuins, as Ambrosioides, Bdtrys, &c, possess anti-
spasmodic and tonic properties ; the leaves of Spinacia, and of many Chenopodiuins, are eaten as spinach ; as
are those of Basella in China and India. Salsola and Salicornia are often employed as pickles. Beet roots ire
equally valuable as a culinary and agricultural production, and the leaves are an excellent vegetable when
boiled. But the most remarkable feature in the pro|>erties of the order is the abundant production of soda,
which is obtained from many of the species, as from all the Salsolas, Salicornias, Anabasis, many species 01
A'triplex, several salt marsh Chenop.jdiums, and others. The seeds of Chcnopodium anthclminticum are
used as a vermifuge, those of A'triplex hortensis excite vomiting, frequently attended with acute pain ; those
of Chcnopodium quinoa are said to be used as rice. To conclude this list of remarkable properties in one of
the most vile of all assemblages of plants, the roots of beet yield an abundance of sugar.

Order CXXVII. POLYGONE^.
Herbaceous or suffrutescent fleshy-leaved plants, chiefly natives of the northern hemisphere ; a few
Polygonums and Coccolobas are found to the south, the former in barren places, the latter on sea shores. A
great part of the order consists of worthless weeds. Some of the Polygonums, and all the Eriogonums, are
handsome plants; the Rheums are famous in medicine. The root of Rheum is tonic and purgative; most of
the Rumexeti and Polygonums are also tonics. The juice of the Coccolobas is very astringent. The young
leaves and shoots of several species of Rnmex and Rheum are eaten either raw or baked, under the name of
sorrel, French sorrel, and tart rhubarb. For the sake of its seeds, Polygonum Fagopyrum is cultivated by
farmers under the name of buck-wheat ; the seeds of P. aviculare are very emetic and purgative. The fleshy
calyx of the Coccolobas is colored ; and, the fruit growing in clusters, the genus has received the name of the
■eft-aide grape.

spice. By botanists they are readily recognized by the singular circumstance of their anthers having each
four cells, the valves of which are hinged as it were to the upper edge of each cell, and do not open longitu-
dinally like those of most other plants. It is well known that the cinnamon is the produce of the Laurus
cinnamdmum, and that its properties are eminently aromatic, warm, and stomachic. The same peculiarities,
but in a less degree, exist also in Laurus cassia, L. malabathrica, and L. culilaban, which are all occasionally
substituted for true cinnamon ; they are found in the leaves of Laurus parvif.'.lia, in the bark of the species
which produces the Pichurim bean ; in that of L. cupularis, which is the Isle of France cinnamon ; of
L. quixos, which yields the Peruvian cinnamon; in L. Benzoin, which was used as spice in the United States
during the American war ; and finally, in the common bay tree of our plantations. Laurus sassafras yields
the sassafras chips of the shops, but its bark is much more powerful. The fruit of many Laurine* are
extremely aromatic; that Of Laurus Persea is an agreeable West Indian fruit, called the alligator pear.
Camphor is the produce of Laurus camphora, and of another or two ; this substance is found indeed in small
quantities in the roots of almost all the order; one of the cinnamons is even named Capuru Carundu, which
signifies camphorated cinnamon.

Closely allied to the last, especially in sensible properties. The arillus of Myristica is the mace of the shops,
and its nut. the famous nutmeg. It is well known that this abounds with oil ; in Virola sebifera the oily secre-
tion is so copious, that it is readily separated by immersion in boiling water under the form of fat.

Order CXXXI. PROTEACEjR
Favorite shrubs with gardeners, both on account of the neatness of their foliage and the beauty of their
flowers. With very few exceptions, they are confined to the southern promontory of Africa, and to Nc\»
Holland, where they adorn large tracts of country. They are shrubby or arborescent plants with an arid
habit. The leaves are simple, evergreen, narrow, entire or serrated. The flowers generally grow in clusters,
and are green, yellow, or red, sometimes in true Proteas surrounded by colored bractcae with dark hairy
margins. Their stamens are four, with distinct anthers, which rarely adhere together. The pollen is triangular ;
the stigma undivided and usually oblique. Their fruit is of various kinds, either a solitary nut or a sort of
cone consisting of many nuts immersed among the indurated remains of abortive flowers. Of their pro.
perties, little is known. Some of the Rhopftlai atlbrd tolerable timber ; the bark of Protea speciosa and
Brandifldra is astringent and useful in diarrhoeas. The seeds of Embdthritim tinctdrium yield a powder winch
is employed for dying pink. The Proteas of the Cape, and the Banksias and Dryandras of New Holland,
are the finest plants of the order.

Order CXXXII. THYMELiE/E.
Nearly all shrubby plants, found in all parts of the world, but most abundantly in the south of Africa. The
flowers are white, yellow, or red, most commonly in clusters, and often fragrant ; the foliage is entire, either
smooth or silvery, and generally very neat. Their wood is particularly soft ; their inner bark easily separable
and in Daphne Lagetta, pulls out by the division of the vertical fibres into a sort of network resembling
lace Their bark is extremely acrid, acting as a vesicatory when applied to the skin, and if chewed, producing
extreme heat and torture in the mouth ; a decoction of it has been used with some success in venereal
diseases. The seeds of these plants are poisonous to man, but birds eat them with impunity. The fibres ol
Dirca and Lagetta are used for cordage ; those of Daphne gnidium and Passerina tinctoria are employed in
the south of Europe for staining wool yellow, which is converted into green by the addition of Isatis.

Order CXXXV. ARISTOLOCHI^.
Here we are on the limits of Monocotyledones and Dicotyledones. The species are herbaceous or half
shrubby plants, with simple, often reniform, leaves; and mottled grotesque flowers, usually brownish purple.
Their roots are all bitter, and possessed of tonic and stimulating properties ; but the degree in which they
exist in different species is not at present ascertained. The Aristolochias have been in former days praised as
emmenagogues, and many are still used in South America as a remedy for the bite of serpents. A'sarum
europaVum is a purgative and emetic when fresh, but its powers are much diminished by drying ; its dried
leaves are occasionally used by the country people in some parts of England as a sternutatory.
1072 A'sarum W. 1934 Aristolochia W.
Order CXXXVI. EUPHORBIACEiE.
Weeds and lofty trees, of such varied appearance and property, that it is scarcely possible to frame a brief
character by which they can be expressed. Their vegetation in cold countries is mostly herbaceous, in hot
countries frutescent or arborescent ; their juice is milky, and their flowers mostly inconspicuous. It is for
their medicinal properties that they are chiefly known, and these are as various as their aspect ; mostly, how-
ever, dangerous, and always to be suspected. In a few of them, the smell and taste are aromatic ; but in most,
there is either no smell or it is nauseous, and the taste constantly acrid and pungent. Some possess also an
acrid limpid fluid, which is given out by the leaves when touched. Many of them act strongly upon the
kidneys, as several species of Phyllanthus, the leaves of Mercurialis annua, and the root of Ricinus communis.
Many are said to be powerful medicines in cases of dropsy. The bark of several Crotons, the wood of Crotou
Tiglium and liuxus, the leaves of the same, and also of Cicca disticha, several Euphorbias, and others, are
recorded as sudorifics, and useful against syphilis; as emetics, we find the roots of the Euphorbias, the juice
of Commia, A'nda, Mercurialis perennis, &c. A great number are purgative, especially the leaves of Buxus
and Mercurialis, the juice of Euphorbia, Commia, Hura, the seeds of Kicinus, Crdton Tiglium, A'nda, and
Jatropha. The effects of some others are so dangerous, particularly Hipp-mane, that it is not advisable to
administer them even in very small doses ; even in many Euphorbias it is difficult to draw a line between the
quantity in which they are poisonous, and that in which they are harmless or useful. The nature of their
poison is mostly acrid, occasionally, however, mixed with something narcotic, as is apparent from the effect of
those which are used for poisoning or rather stupifying fish. The purgative oil in which the seeds of many
are found to abound, has been determined to reside wholly in the albumen ; hence the embryo of some, as
Omphalea diandra, is eaten as nuts. Boiling or roasting has also the effect of dissipating their noxious effects;
thus Jatropha Manihot, than which there scarcely exists a more dangerous poison, affords a food when sub-
mitted to fire, called cassava, the flour of which is often used in London as a luxury for making puddings,
than which few are reputed to be more wholesome. But the most curious of all the products of Euphorbiacea?
is the Caoutchouc, that singular substance which, although the produce of dangerous acrid trees, possesses
nothing whatever which has been found capable of acting upon the human system in whatever way applied,
which is unalterable either in air, in water, or in spirits, although it softens at a high temperature. It is
chiefly produced by Siphonia elastica, but also exists in the juice of very many others, as Exca-caria Agallocha,
Hippomane Mancinella, Hura crepitans, Sapium aucupiirium, Plukenetia voliibilis, the Jatrophas, Mabea,
Omphaleas, and many others. Tournesole, another curious chemical preparation, is the juice of Croton
tinctorium, but is also found in several others. Many other properties belong to this order, which it would be
too long to detail in this place. The curious reader will find ample information in the medical division of
M. Adrian de Jussieu's monograph of the order, from which most of the foregoing remarks are taken.

Order CXLI. URTICE.E.
Few are the objects in this order deserving the care of the cultivator ; it is rather extraordinary, however,
that those few are abundantly so. Among worthless weeds and shabby half herbaceous shrubs, some of
which are covered with rough points, and others defended by stinging hairs, we find the fig, the mulberry,
the hemp, the hop, and the bread-fruit, all objects of the first consequence to the world. Here also is placed
the half fabulous Upas, with which lying travellers and credulous naturalists have long deluded Europe. The
Upas tree is now known to be the Antuiris tozicaria, the inspissated juice of which is indeed a frightful
poUon, but the baneful effects of whose brandies are purely imaginary. Similar, though inferior, qualities
have been found to exist in Ficus toxicaria, and some of the Artocarpuses. The root of the black mulberry
is bitter, acrid, and purgative ; of Dorstenia brasilien-is. emetic ; of I), contraverba, bitter, aromatic, hot,
and .stimulant. A decoction, or the dried leaves, of hemp, is eminently narcotic, and forms the basis of the
veil known intoxicating Turkish drug called Bang or Haschisch. The tenacious nature of the fibres of the
hemp is also found in other plants of the order, especially Urtica cannabina, the hop, the bread-fruit tree, the
common stinging- nettle, and others.

the poplar, the oak, the clusnut, the hornbeam, and the plane, are all collected in this place, to which they
have been brought by the coincidence of similar fructification existing in all of them. This similarity depends
upon their producing flowers of one sex only, the males of which are always arrayed in catkins, of which
tin- flowers are destitute of calyx or corolla, in the place of which is produced a single scale. Their bark is
furnished with an astringent principle, which has rendered them valuable either for staining black, as in the
alder and the oak gall ; or for tanning, as in the oak ; or as febrifuges, as the alder, the birch, the oak, most
of the willows, and also Populus tiemuloides, which is well known in North America as a tonic and stomachic
Uge. The substance called tacamahaca was formerly supposed to be produced by some of the poplars,
but it is now believed to be obtained from a very different plant, l'agara oct.indra. The fruit of many

Among them is now numbered the loftiest tree in the world, a species of pine found by Mr. Douglas in
California, which grows 220 feet high, with a circumference of 60 feet. Pitch, turpentine, Venice turpentine,
are produced by various species. Gum Sandarach, by Thi'ija quadrivalvis ; a matter like olibanum.by Juniperus
lycia ; a sort of liquid storax, by Altingia excelsa. The Juniperuses in which the resin is " incompletely
oxygenized," are more fragrant, and also stimulating in a greater degree ; as the savin for example. The
berries of many of these plants possess similar qualities. Their seeds are all oily ; those of Pinus Pinea,
Cembra, and Lambertiana, and Salisburia adiantifolia, are eatable as nuts. The fleshy fruit of the ivy, which is
poisonous, is an exception to the general innoxious character of the order. Coniferae arc mostly inhabitants
of the northern parts of the world, where they form immense forests, and supply with their dense persistent
leaves the place occupied by the evergreen trees of warmer climates. A few are found in the southern
hemisphere.

Order CXLVII. PIPERACEJE.
The peppers are far more valuable in commerce than interesting in cultivation, their flowers being in all
cases very insignificant, and their leaves so uniform in appearance, as to create but little variety. Nearly the
whole indeed of the herbaceous species or Peperomias, as they are sometimes called, are mere weeds. The
berry of the pepper is well known to be hot, aromatic, pungent, and stimulating ; not only in the common
peppers of the shops, but also in P. cubeba, carpiinga, and heterophyllum. The Piper anisatum yields a strong
smell of anise ; a decoction of its berries is used in Spanish America for washing ulcers. The Piper Betel and
Siriboa afford the Malays a powerfully acrid and exciting preparation, which, they suppose, invigorates andcna
bles them to withstand the debilitating influence of their climate. In the South Sea Islands, an inebriating
beverage is procured by the mixture of the leaves and stems of P. inebrians with water. No pepper has yet
been found beyond the limits of the tropics. Saururus is the representative of the order in extra-tronical
countries.

Order CXLVIII. CYCADEiE.
The true station of this very curious order is extremely uncertain. Although placed here in conformity
with the common practice, it is to be supposed that its true station is in the immediate vicinity of ferns, with
which the species agree in vernation, and in many curious particulars All are natives of countries beyond
the reach of frosts, chiefly of the Cape of Good Hope and equinoctial America. With a low trunk which
rarely exceeds the height of a few inches, they have the fronds and appearance of pigmy palms, and the
inflorescence of gigantic Equisetums. The trunk of Cycas contains a great quantity of fajcula, which is
manufactured into a kind of spurious sago ; and a similar substance, it has lately been ascertained, may be
obtained from the stem of Cycas. (Gard. Mag., vol. iv.)

The physiological peculiarities of this class of plants have been already explained in the general remarks
which precede this arrangement of natural orders. To what is there stated, little remains to be added, except
that in these northern regions, every thing included in it is herbaceous, and that in hotter latitudes, fev
deserve the name of either bush or tree, except the palms, and a few Aroidea; and Asphodelea?.

Order CL. ORCHIDEiE.
Of all iribes of plants, this is the most singular, the most fragrant, and the most difficult of culture. The
flowers are often remarkable for their grotesque configuration, which has been likened to heads and bodies of
animals, and for the strange character of their stems, which are sometimes attenuated into a degree of grace-
fulness scarcely equalled even among grasses, and sometimes contracted into a clumsy goutiness of figure
such as is known no where else. The species are found inhabiting the mountains and meadows of the cooler
parts of the globe, or adhering by their tortuous roots to the branches of the loftiest trees of the tropical
forest, to which their blossoms often lend a beauty not their own. Vulgarly, this last description of plants is
called parasitic ; they are, however, not so, deriving no support from the juices of the plants on which they
grow ; but on the contrary, are epiphytes, merely adhering to other plants for support, and vegetating amidst
the rich black soil which collects at the foot of all trees growing in a hot humid climate. It is very singular
that the pollen of these plants has no parallel, except among the very different and distinct order of
Asclepiadea?. The only medical properties of the order exist in the roots of some of the O'rchiscs from
which the nutritious substance called salop is prepared. The Vanilla of the shops is the pod of the genus
called Vanilla. From the boiled stems of some of the Brazilian species a tenacious glue is obtained which
is employed in many useful purposes.

Their sensible qualities reside either in the root or the seeds. The former is the part used of the Ginger, the

turmeric is also well known as affording a yellow dye, a property which it possesses in common with some

flowers, be considered. They are not, like Scitaminea? and Cannes, .confined to the tropics, but approach in
many points towards the cooler latitudes of either hemisphere. While the Strelitzias, resplendent with orange
and scarlet and white, are peculiar to the Cape of Good Hope, the plantain is laden with its enormous masses
of wholesome pleasant fruit, in the mild climate of Madeira ; the Helicunias and Uranias appear in the sultriest
forests of Madagascar and Guiana. The fruit of the H6sa is, as just stated, pleasant and wholesome ; the leaves
of the same plant firm a valuable thatching for cottages ; and the fibres of a particular species are manufac-

Order CLIV. HiEMODORACEJE.
The name of this order, derived from oului, blood, indicates its most striking peculiarity ; the roots of several
of lla'inndoruin, Wachendorfia, and Heritn'ra yielding a brilliant crimson dye. The species have
equitant leaves, and six stamens, with anthers turned towards the ovarium ; in which last character they difler
from the closely allied order of lridea?. They are found, with very few exceptions, in the Cape of Good Hope
and New Holland.

Order CEV. IRIDEiE.
The peculiarity of this order exists in the superior six-cleft perianthium, three stamens opposite the outer
segments, and the anthers so inserted that the line of their bursting is towards the outside of their flower.
: i ally, tliey are still called by the old appellation of Ensata?. Most of the species arc extremely beautiful ;
and as they are generally very easily cultivated, they have become universal favorites in gardens. Many of the
species are found by the side of streams, or in rich pastures in Europe, Siberia, and America ; others adorn the
must barren deatrtl Of the same countries, with their perishable Bowers J a third set, consisting for the most
part of Sisyrinchium and its allies, are found in cool parts of the islands in the South Seas ; and, lastly, a large
proportion of the order contributes to the herbage of Southern Africa, that indescribable charm which has cap-
tivated all observers. Their medicinal virtues are trilling. Iris tlorentina and gernianica have roots, which,
when dry, smell like violets, and are slightly stimulant, acting as sternutatories or purgatives, according as they
are employed. The ttigmas of the Crocus form the well-known saffron, which differs from the genera'
character of the order, in being aromatic, and possessing a valuable coloring matter, which has the singular
property of entirely disappearing under the influence of the sun's rays.

Order CLVI. AMARYLLIDE.5X
Here we have another group of vegetation so lovely as to have excited admiration from the days of Solomon,
who called them the lilies of the field, down to our own period. Their roots are all bulbous. In stature they
seldom exceed a foot or two : in Doryanthes, and some species of Crinum alone, much surpassing such a size ;
in foliage they possess a uniformity of figure which is very singular; in color they vary from white and
yellow to deep scarlet and azure blue ; in fragrance they vie with the violet and the primrose. Some of the
species are natives of thickets in the cooler provinces of Europe and Asia ; others are found deep rooted in the
burning shores of islands where scarcely a blade of grass interposes itself between them and the torrid rays of a
scorching sun ; many spring up in the gloomy, damp, and sultry woods of equinoctial America ; and another
set intermingles with the Ixias and Gladioluses of Southern Africa. Several of the Narcissi, independent of
their beauty, possess emetic qualities ; from the viscid juice of Haunanthus toxicarius, the Hottentots procure
a poison wherewith to smear their arrows.

These are fine shewy plants, bearing their flowers in umbels or racemer, either white, yellow, red, or blue ;
they are mostly inhabitants of temperate zones, and are of little utility, with the exception of the Aloe, the
purgative powers of which need not be insisted on. This genus is, besides, remarkable among Monocotyledone*
for its fleshy leaves, in which, and its woody stem, it offers a striking deviation from the usual structure of
these plants.

Order CLX. ASPHODELE^E.
Different from Hemerocallides in their expanded flowers and dark crustaceous seed-coat ; the only charac-
ters which have yet been discovered to distinguish them. The species are all pretty, many very handsome,
some bulbous, some with fasciculated roots, a few with arborescent stems. They are uncommon in tropical
countries, very abundant in temperate latitudes, and not unfrequent in the cooler regions of the world.
Among the prettiest are GSgea, Scilla, and Hyacinthus ; the least interesting are Chlorophytum and Zuc-
cagnia. Asparagus and Dracaena have berried fruits ; the former is diuretic, and when young is employed as
a favorite food ; the same properties are possessed by Scilla and A'llium. The stamens of Arthropodium are
remarkable for their tuft of yellow hairs, of Dianella for the thickening of the filaments. Many of the Alliums
are very pretty, and admired notwithstanding their unpleasant odor ; their roots are all eatable, and those of
some among the most useful articles of food. Thysanotus, the fringed violet of New Holland, has rich purple
blossoms, with long delicate fringes which sparkle in the sun, as if continually bedewed with minute particles
of water. From Phormium tenax the strong fibrous substance called New Zealand flax is prepared. Xan-
thorrhae'a has an arborescent stem which abounds in resin.

These scarcely differ from the baccate Asphodelea?, except in their usually trifid stvle, and the membranous
integuments of the seed. Many are interesting plants, especially the lily of the valley, a species of Conval-
laria, the odor of which is perhaps the most grateful in the vegetable kingdom. Several others, as Uvularia,
Smilacina, Polygonatum, and Trillium are objects of ornament. Smilax is remarkable for its twining stems)
and its leaves, which resemble those of Dicotyledones ; the roots of several species form the sarsaparilla of the
shops, a drug, the nature of which is mucilaginous and rather bitter, and which is employed as diaphoretic and
diuretic. Medeola is also an active diuretic. The roots of Tamus are purgative and dangerous.

They arc all natives of tropical countries, with the exception of Tillandsia, which, in the humid woods of
Carolina, forms dense festoons among the branches of the trees ; this, like many others of the order, is an
epiphyte, vegetating among the black mould that collects U|>on the hark of trees in hot damp countries ; other*
arc inhabitants of deep and gloomy forests; and others form, with their spiny leaves, an impenetrable herbage
in the extensive pampas of Buenos Ay res and Brazil. From the Agave mexicana a fermented, beverage is

It is l>est to let them remain as they are. The beauty of the plants composing the Liliacca?, strictly so called,
is universally acknowledged ; the rich colors of the branching lilies, the vivid hues of the painted tulip, the
modest graces of the humble Erythroniums, and the portly forms of the Yuccas are all attractions of which no

These, too, are pretty herbs, although destitute ol the grandeur of the preceding, which, however, they far
surpass in the potency of their virtues. The flowers of many are inconspicuous, and of a dull-green or yellow
color, sometimes assuming a livid hue, which will bespeak the nature of their powers. A dangerous or
poisonous acrid juice is their characteristic, which is particularly active in some of them, such as the Col-
chicum and Veratrum. The roots of the former are the basis of the eau vnedicinale, and are now used in
cases of gout with much success. The root of Ver&tr.im is believed to have been the hellebore of the ancients,
an active drug, which, administered in small doses, is a drastic purgative, in more abundance a violent emetic.
The root of HeU'mias dioica, infused in water, is anthelmintic, but, steeped in spirits, yields a bitter and tonic
tincture. The leaves of Colchicum and Veratrum often produce vomiting and severe pain in the animals
that eat them ; the flowers of the first are also said to be poisonous, and its seeds to possess the same properties
as the roots, but in a milder degree. Groves and pastures in Europe and Siberia and North America are the
most frequented by Melanthacese, several are found at the Cape, and Gloriusa is a native of the woods or
middle Africa.

Order CLXXIII. PALMJE.
These were well named by Linnaeus, the princes of the vegetable world ; for they far surpass all other plants
in the grandeur and majesty of their port. Their lofty stem, supported by a mass of fibrous roots, which fre-
quently creep along the surface of the ground, consists of wood with longitudinal fibres, soft in the centre, but
hard as horn itself at the circumference ; it is almost always unbranched, bearing a tuft of leaves at the
summit; in a very few cases it is dichotomous, always round, and it terminates by a single bud ; by the fall of
the petioles of the leaves, which sheath it in a greater or less degree at the base, it is covered with large scars.
The leaves, technically called fronds, are pinnate or flabelliform, never simple; and, in a young state, before
they expand, they are folded up in plaits from the base to the apex. The (lowers are small, with bractea? at
their base, either sessile or seated in some cavity, of a pallid color, and contained in a large bag called a spatha ;
when they open, the mass of inflorescence, called a spadix, bursts .suddenly through the under side of the
spatha, generally evolving the most fragrant odors. Impregnation takes place rapidly, through the injection
of the pollen upon the humid surface of the stigmas, which gape open to receive it. The fruit is perfected in a
period varying from six months to a year ; when ripe it is a drupe or berry, with either a (ibrous or fleshy coat ;
the mass of its kernel consists of oily albumen, which, in the case of the cocoa nut, is soft enough to be eaten,
but which in most species is as hard as horn. Dr. von Martius, the celebrated traveller in Brazil, to whom the
world is indebted for nearly all that is known of these plants, concludes his remarks upon the characters of the
order in the following words : — " Palms, the noble offspring of Terra and Phoebus, are natives of those happy
countries within the tropics, where the rays of the latter are ever beaming. In all such climates they are to
be found, with this limitation, however, that in the southern hemisphere they do not overstep the 35th degree
of latitude, nor in the northern the 40th. Most species are confined within fixed and narrow bounds, for it
comes to pass that wherever a district is characterized by striking peculiarities of soil or climate, those species
exist which are not found elsewhere; but few, on the contrary, extend over a large extent of surface, as the
Cocos nucifera, Acrocomia sclerocarpa, Borassus flabelliformis, &c. It is probable that the number of
palms existing on the face of the earth, will be found by future travellers to amount to as many as a thousand
species. Most of them love the margins of springs and streams, but few establish themselves on the shores of
the ocean, and yet a smaller number ascend into the alpine regions of their country ; some collect in large
forests ; some are scattered singly or in clusters, among woods and plains. In the most ancient periods of the
world, when the genera of plants were beginning to be formed, palms scarcely existed ; they were preceded in
the creation by the more ancient Ferns, Cycadeae, Grasses, and Equisetaceae. Some of their remains have,
however, been found in variegated sandstone, and in limestone of the third order (fletzkalk), part of which
belong to unknown species, and part to species still in existence. But in the times succeeding the deluge, they
appear, from the written evidence of historians and poets, to have followed the footsteps of man, to whom
their fruit yielded food, drink, and oil; their stems houses, arms, utensils, flour, and wine; and their leaves
cordage and roofs for habitations. In cultivation their soil should be slightly saline ; thev are propagated by
seeds more readily than by truncheons of the stem; when cultivated they undergo no alteration, except in pro-
ducing more fleshy or stemless fruit : it is extremely difficult to transplant them beyond their own country;
naturally their migration is absolutely opposed by the barriers of the ocean."

Order CLXXIV. GRAMINEjE.
The order of grasses is beyond doubt the most natural of all that the ingenuity of systematic botanists
has contrived; it is also the most numerous in species. The inflorescence is very much alike throughout the
order, and the floral envelopes, which are bracteje in a progressive state to the form of calyx and petals, offer
few striking characters by which the genera can be characterized. Hence it is that the classification of the
order, and its division into genera, has not only been found extremely difficult, but has given rise to much
difference of opinion among botanists ; some of whom, adhering to the synthetical arrangement of Linnanis,
admit but a small number of genera, while others, admitting the analytical principles of modern science,
divide it into a vast number. The middle course in this, as in most other cases, is probably the just one. A
subdivision of the order into tribes, has been attempted by Palisot, Trinius, Dumortier, Raspail, Kunth, Link,
and others ; that of M. Kunth is here adopted. The general habit of grasses is so familiar to every one, that
it may be passed over in silence. They are remarkable for exhibiting, in no case, properties that are actually
poisonous; possessing on the contrary, in almost all cases, wholesome and nutritive qualities. These latter are
especially obvious in their seeds, which always contain a farinaceous substance, mixed with a certain propor-
tion of glutinous matter. No one is ignorant of the various and important uses of the seeds of wheat, rye,
barley, oats, maize, rice, and others, and in general of all the larger kinds of grass. It must however be re-
marked, that if the smaller sorts are not employed in like manner, it is merely on account of their minuteness,
and not on account of any difference in their nature ; in fact, in times of scarcity, and in half cultivated coun-
tries, use has advantageously been made of Festuca fluitans, Zizania aquatica, Avena fatua, Panicum sangui.
Dale, Avena elatior, Bromus secalinus, and E'lymus arenarius. It is also to be noted, that the particular uses
for which the seeds of certain grasses are employed, are not peculiar to them, but may be obtained from all
the others, with slight modifications. Thus beer is made, not only from barley but also from wheat ; spiri-
tuous liquors not only from our European cerealia, but also from rice. But it must he remarked, that a sin-
gular exception to the generally wholesome properties of grasses, appears to exist in Lolium temulentum,
the seed of which is reported to be narcotic and inebriating, and even poisonous ; there is no doubt, however,
that these qualities have been greatly exaggerated ; for in the first place they disappear in bread or beer
manufactured from Lolium temulentum ; and secondly, in times of scarcity, people have frequently lived upon '
it. But even supposing all that has been stated upon the subject to be true, this plant will still be found to be
little different from wheat, when long exposed to wet ; so well, indeed, is this known by country people, that a
belief exists, that in wet summers wheat is actually transmuted into rye grass. The exciting properties of tnc
oat, which are very unusual in this order, have been found to reside in the husk and not in the seed, and to
depend upon the presence of a minute quantity of an aromatic principle, analogous to Vanilla, lying im-
bedded in the envelope of the seed, and capable of being extracted by aid of alcohol. As to the deleterious
effects of the ergot of rye, these do not depend certainly upon any such property in the rye itself, but is caused
either by the ergot disease, or, as is believed, by the parasitic fungus, from the attack of which it arises. Now
let us pass from the seeds of Gramineae to their stems, and we shall find a no less remarkable uniformity of
nature in them. They all contain, especially before flowering, a sweet sugary mucilage, which varies in quan-
tity in different species. The sugar cane, in which this is found in greatest abundance, not only constantly exists
in the most favorable condition for producing it, as it rarely flowers, but is also one of the largest grasses
known. The maize also abounds in sugar; and the same substance is secreted in such abundance by the
Sorghum saccharatum, that attempts have actually been made in Italy to cultivate it as the sugar cane. The
creeping roots of grasses, which are generally mucilaginous and demulcent, are sometimes used in medicine:
but they are of more impoitance for retaining in banks the sand of the sea shore, so as to form artificial i-lifls
on flat coasts, to restrain the inroads of the sea. The stems of Andropogon schamanthus, the leaves of
Andropogon citratum, the roots of Andropogon nardus, and the whole plant of all the species of Ant h ox-
anthum, exhale an aromatic odor, and possess slightly tonic properties. To conclude, the epidermis of grassci
has been found to contain a considerable quantity of silex.

Order CLXXV. CYPERACE.E.
The sedges, as these mav be ca led in English, differ from grasses not only in their comparative worthless-
ness, and the different developement of the parts of fructification, but also in the sheath, at the base of the
leaves, being closed up, not slit. As objects of ornament they are of no value, and as subjects of agricultural
interest of but little; they are, moreover, of little utility to man. They are chiefly valuable for covering, with
the appearance of herbage, waste, and barren, marshy, or sandy tracts, in which little else will thrive. The
roots of Carex arenaria, dU.ticha, and hirta, possess diaphoretic and demulcent properties, whence they are
sometimes called German sarsapariUa. Some of the Scirpuses and C'yperuses have eatable nutty roots ; the
Menu ofScirpua lacustris, Eleocharis palustns, (yp.'rus tcxtilis, and others, are manufactured into mats and
the iKittoms of chairs; the roots of Cyperus esculentua abound in oil, a very unusual circumstance; the
papyrus of the ancienta was manufactured from the stem of Cyperus papyrus ; finally, the roots of Cyperus
16ngus, odoratus, and others, are fragrant.

Order CLXXVI. AUOlDK.r..
Herbaceous, stemless, or caulescent plants, with broad fleshy leaves, approaching very nearlj to those of
Dicotyledons. Their flowers are enclosed within a spatba, and are imbedded on a simple cylindrical spadix.
Some are natives Of Europe and of similar latitudes, but the greater number inhabit the tropica, where they
Often climb by their rooting Items to the tops Of lofty trees. They have thick fleshy roots, which, when fresh,
contain an acrid stimulating principle, which is so volatile that it passes off freely upon the application of
beat • whence the roasted roots of many species are among the most common articles of negro food. ITie
leaves of A'rum segumum are so paralyzing, that if chewed they deprive one of the power Of utterance;
whence in the West Indies it is called the dumb came j the leaves of Dracontium pertnsum are acrid; fresh
gathered, and applied all over the surface of the l«xly, they produce a slight inflammation and blistering, and
are used 'in Deraerara, by the natives, in dropsical cases. The root of A'rum triphyllum, boded in milk, ha*
been found efficacious in consumption. The (lowers of many species are highly fetid. TyphineSB, or bull-
rushes are very like Cyperaceae in habit. Pistiaee.e are floating plants, in which the organs of fructification
are reduced to' the very simplest state. JuncagineCB arc obscure marsh or river plants.

With tliese the Vasculares and Monocotyledones terminate : it lias long been apparent that we have been
descending in the scale of vegetation; and hence, the last order exhibited a structure the most simplp of
all vascular plants. In the present order, Zostera and Ruppia are so closely allied to Algse, that they may
be mistaken for them.

II. CELLULARES.
The characteristics of this division have already been explained in the preliminary observations upon the
natural orders ; and the remarks which were required for each natural order of Cellulares have already been
given in Cryptogamia in the body of the work. It has, therefore, been thought advisable to adopt from Pro-
fessor Agardh such observations as he has made upon the orders, as a sort of contrast to those already given.
Class 1. FOLIACEiE.
Order I. FILICES.
Of these the stem is perennial, often subterraneous and creeping, and occasionally becoming arborescent
and leafy above the ground. The fronds or leaves are usually pinnatilid, and more or less compound ; some-
times nearly simple and entire, with reticulated veins. The capsules are minute, one-celled, seldom many-
celled, brown, membranous, and surrounded by a thick articulated elastic ring, irregularly bursting, and either
clustered on the lower surface of the frond, or compound in spikes. Their vernation is circulate, and some
are propagated by bulbs. The old botanists denied any fruit whatever to Ferns ; believing the seeds of these
plants to be so rare as to invest any body with invisibility who could collect them. Afterwards, their capsules
were believed to be their seeds. Linnaeus, and some others, doubted whether their fructification were seeds or
pollen. Finally, the experiments of Ehrhart and Lindsay proved, beyond all cavil, that they were really seeds.
As to the male organs nothing is known ; some suppose them to be glands of the frond, others the elastic ring,
some the indusium, and others the pores of the epidermis ; lastly, Martius has supposed them to be the mem-
brane including the spiral vessels. Ferns are chiefly inhabitants of the torrid zone, becoming rarer as we
approach the poles. They delight in a humid soil, and they often grow parasitically upon trees. The medi-
cinal virtues of some are highly astringent, of others anthelmintic, of others purgative; some have acquired
celebrity for their pectoral, others for their corroborant qualities. The young leaves and roots of some
constitute an article of food ; beer is obtained from the roots of others, and, finally, Aspidium fragrans has
been used as tea.

' Marsh plants, with a verticillate arrangement of their branches, and a highly indurated epidermis. Their
seeds are remarkable for a hygrometrical movement. The quality of some is said to be hurtful to cattle
which is denied by others. Formerly they were used in medicine as astringents and diuretics. Equisetum

pudium clavatum are said to be employed for ameliorating wine, and are also used in making tire-works, on

Winter plants, reviving in humid air, abundant about the polos, rare at the equator. They cover the moun.
.tains of the earth as high as the limits of perpetual snow ; growing in patches, they clothe the most barren
•pots with verdure, preserve tries from heat and cold, prepare the earth for nourishing more perfect plant*,
and fill up bogs and morasses with vegetable matter. To the economy of nature they are, therefore, more
subservient than to the purposes, of man. Medicinal astringent properties were formerly ascribed to some few,
but they are now neglected or forgotten.

an indehiscent wart-like pericarpium. Some copulate like animals, others have a spontaneous motion like
worms. Their color is lively, in the lowest grades green, in the highest red or purple. Some are ephemoral
and microscopical, annual or perennial, and others extend to the length of many fathoms. They grow at the
bottom of the sea, or in fresh water, the depths of which they clothe with vegetation, as the higher orders of
plants cover the earth with forests. They grow on stems in the water only, or on each other. Some exhale
oxygen, others are scented like violets. Their taste is mild ; their substance gelatinous, membranous, or
coriaceous, usually covered externally with mucus. The structure of the lowest is articulated ; of the highest
fibrous.

Order IX. FUNGI.
We have now reached the lowest station of vegetable existence, in arriving where the vesicles which com-
pote the vegetable fabric are combined in various forms, according to the contingent circumstances under
which they are developed. The mould on the cheese, the ergot of corn, the rust of the rose, and the huge
Boletus, which, in Java, spreads out its many-handed body from the trunks of ancient trees like a vegetating
demon, differ only in the number of the vesicles of which they are composed. Many species are eatable, as
Agaricus campestris ; others are deadly, as Boletus sc&ber ; some are used medicinally, as Daedalea suavtfolens
in coughs; Agaricus ti'iba reginas in diarrhoea ; Agaricus piper&tus in calculous disorders ; Phallus Mokusin
against cancer ; Polyporus annosus against the bites of serpents. Some Coprini are used for healing
ulcers ; Polyporus officinalis as a purgative ; Polyporus igniarius as a styptic ; Polyporus destructor, and a
number of others, constitute dry rot For the poison of fungi, the roots of garlic, the leaves of parsley, and
tincture of lacmus, are said to be remedies : so also is common spirit. Fungi swarm in all the coldest countries
of the world, but as we approach the equator they are extremely rare ; the place where they most flourish is
Sweden, and the adjacent regions.

Order IX. FUNGI.
We have now reached the lowest station of vegetable existence, in arriving where the vesicles which com-
pose the vegetable fabric are combined in various forms, according to the contingent circumstances under
which they are developed. The mould on the cheese, the ergot of corn, the rust of the rose, and the huge
Boletus, which, in Java, spreads out its many-handed body from the trunks of ancient trees like a vegetating
demon, differ only in the number of the vesicles of which they are composed. Many species are eatable, as
Agaricus campestris ; others are deadly, as Boletus scaber ; some are used medicinally, as Daadalea suaveolens
in coughs; Agaricus tuba reginae in diarrhoea ; Agaricus piperatus in calculous disorders ; Phallus Mokusin
against cancer ; Polyporus annosus against the bites of serpents. Some Coprini are used for healing
ulcers; Polyporus officinalis as a purgative; Polyporus igniarius as a styptic ; Polyporus destructor, and a
number of others, constitute dry rot. For the poison of fungi, the roots of garlic, the leaves of parsley, and
tincture of lacmus, are said to be remedies : so also is common spirit. Fungi swarm in all the coldest countries
of the world, but as we approach the equator they are extremely rare; the place where they most flourish is
Sweden, and the adjacent regions.

2535. Wahlenbtrgia. The seeds of the annual sp. of this genus require to be raised on a hot-bed; and, when sut-
firu-ntiy strong, planted into the open border, in a sheltered situation. The perennial sp. grow freely in loam, peat,
ami Band, and strike root readily under a handglass.
2536. ftra/ia. Plants of this genus are readily increased by division of the root, or by seeo. : and thrive best in a
mixture of loam, peat, and sand.
253i. Tupa. The species of this genus are deserving cultivation in every collection, on account of the beautv and
singularity of their flowers. They are generally raised from imported seeds; and, when the plants are sufficiently
strong, may be planted in the border under a south wall, but require to 1>r potted in the autumn, and placed In the
ureen-house during winter. 7". Fcuilldi yields a dangerous poison in Chile.

bulbs are carefully collected by them, and baked between hot stones, when they assume the appearance of baked pears,
and are of an agreeable sweet taste. They form a great part of their winter stores. Though an agreeable f jod to
Governor Lewis's party, they occasioned bowel complaints if eaten in any quantity. It is perfectly hardy, requiring
to be planted in a peat border, and may be propagated either by seeds or bulbs. (Pursh.)

and Miscellaneous Particulars.
resemble pretty much those of the ash, and hence, doubtless, the name of Ash-berberry. Natives of the N. W. coast
of Amer., and also of Nepal, and perhaps Japan. Though some botanists think that the characters ascribed to this
genus, and those ascribed to ntrberU, are not sufficient to keep them separate as genera; yet the habits of the spot ie<
of one, as to the mode of growth, foliage, and tnJtoroaconce, are so distinct from those of the other, as to induce us to
adopt Mahdnro. The specie- in British garden! are all of comparatively slow growth, and admit of but slow multipli-
cation by layers, and scarcely at all by cuttings. Some of them, however, seed freely, and are readily propagated in
tbat way." (.Arb. Brit. voL ii. p. 309.)

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
875. Tropte'olum 17199 tuberosum. This species may be considered about as hardy as the potato, and, like it
produces eatable and agreeably flavoured tubers, Mr Lambert was the first, we believe, who grew these tubers in
England, and presented them at table. When boiled, the tubers are of a soft pulpy substance, and, Mr. Cameron says,
in flavour resemble sea-kale, mixed with the hot taste of garden cress. The council of the Caledon. Hort. Soc. considers
the tubers to be of a very delicate flavour, resembling the richest .isparagus. Mr. Young of Epsom found the

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2601. Castanospermum. The seeds are eaten by the natives about Moreton Bay on all occasions, and, when
roasted, have somewhat the flavour of Spanish chestnuts ; and even Europeans, who have subsisted on them for two
or three days together, have found no bad effects from them when roasted. For culture and propagation, see Cera-
t6nia.
977. Poincikna. 17282 regia is a magnificent tree, no less remarkable for its extreme beauty than for its rarity,
having been found only in Madagascar, near Foul Point, where it is known by the name of Tanahou.
17281 GilliisW. The flowers of this species have a disagreeable smell, and are considered by the common people of
Chile to be injurious to the sight ; hence the vernacular name mal de oxos. The shrub will not grow unless in irrigated
places. (Don's Mill. v. 2. p. 433.)
2602. Re>chard\a. Culture and propagation the same as for Poincinna.
2603. Eriostimon. A genus of beautiful shrubs with pink flowers, which deserve a place in every collection of
green-house shrubs. They require the same treatment as Phebalium.
26(14. Phebalium. An equal mixture of loam and peat suits this genus of plants, but care must be taken not to
overwater them, or crowd them amongst other plants. Cuttings root freely in sand under a bell-glass, without heat.
1014. Rhododendron. " Under this genus, Professor D. Don has included the Azalea, which, however technically
correct, appears to us injudicious in a practical point of view ; anil though we have followed his arrangement in this
article, yet we have indicated two sections, containing the Indian or tender, and the Asiatic and American, or hardy,
azaleas, which those who cultivate extensive collections of these shrubs may, if they choose, consider as constituting
the genus Azalea as heretofore. Such persons, therefore, may view the genus Azalea as remaining exactly as it is in
Order I.

our Ilortus Rritannicus." (Arb. Brit. vol. ii. p. 1130.) " Of all the genera in existence," G. Don observes •• Rho-
dodendron" (under which he includes the Azalea) " comprises the most handsome, elegant, and showy shrubs for
adorning shrubberies or planting singly on lawns." Though in Britain these plants are solely cultivated as orna-
mental, yet, in their native countries, they are not without their other uses. " The TihoddreiE," Mr. Boyle observes
abound in stimulant, and even deleterious, properties. Thus Rhododendron pdnticum, R. maximum R. ferrugi-
neum, and It. chrysant'num, are poisonous to cattle which feed on them ; and yet, in moderate doses, areused in nie-
diciin-. for the cure at rheumatism, &c. Azalea procumbens L. and /.edum palustre are accounted diuretic ; and /..
latifolium. being more stimulant, is used as a tea, under the name of Labrador tea, but determines to the head. Kfil-
mia latifolia is accounted poisonous, and honev collected by bees from its flowers is of a deleterious nature, as is that
of Azalea pontica. which was so injurious to the soldiers in the retreat of the Ten Thousand. In the Himalayan spe-
cies. It. arlibrcum is more remarkable for its use as a timber tree than the other species. The flowers arc eaten by
the hill people, and formed into a jelly by European visiters. The leaves of R. campanulatum, betas Dsed as s snuff bv
the natives of India, are imported from Cashmere, under the names of hoolas-kasmeerec (Cashmere snuff) and buri>-t-
tibhut (Thibet leaf . though easily procurable within the British territories. It is remarkable that !)•• Candolle men-
tions the employment in the United States, for a similar purpose, of the brown dust which adheres to the petioles of
kalmias and rhododendrons. The leaves of R Iepid6tum (a species not yet intinduced into Europe) are highlv fra-
grant, and of a stimulant nature." (Royle III. 219.) Culture, propagation, and other particulars, see p. 144 and

very much like the potato, for which they might form occasionally an agreeable substitute at table. It is a native
of Peru, and is cultivated abundantly in the gardens about Lima, as a salad, for which purpose its succulent stems,
and acid flavour, seem strongly to recommend it. It grows freely in the open border, and is readily increased by cut-
tings, as well as by the tubers, which require to be taken up and treated as potatoes." (Sw. Fl. Gar., 2. s. 125.)

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2693. Omphalbbium. For soil and propagation, see Philotheca, above.
2694. Pa>*ia. The species of this genus may be increased by cuttings of the young wood, planted in sand under a
bell-glass, in heat. "In Soudan the seeds of P. africana are roasted as we roast coffee, then bruised, and allowed to
ferment m water ; when they begin to become putrid they are well washed and pounded, the powder made into cakes
somewhat in the manner of our chocolate. They form an excellent sauce for all kinds of food. The farinaceous
matter surrounding the seeds is made into a kind of sweetmeat." (Don's Mill., 2. 396 )
2695. Sarcocaulon is a genus of curious spiny shrubs, which bear beautiful large flowers. They may be increased
by cuttings and slips of the roots, in good soil, under a bell-glass.
2696. Montezums. 17718 speciosissima is a very showy tree, thriving in a mixture of loam and peat. Full-grown
cuttings (not too old) will root treely in sand, under a bell-glass, in a moist heat
2697. Assdnm A light rich soil, or a mixture of loam and peat, suits this genus ; and young cuttings root freely

2699. SultdlRji is a genus of very elegant plants when in blossom, well deserving a place In every collection. Feat

1 177. I'rena 17726 specibsa. " This is a very elegant plant, with large pink flowers, which are disposed in a kind of
terminal racemose panicle. It differs so much in habit from all the other species of this genus, that we doubt its being
a genuine species of I'rina." (Don's Mill., 1. 47.)
2700. LebttUMA. The rpede* of this genui deserve to be cultivated in every collection, on account of their showy
scarlet blossoms. A mixture of l->am ami |>eat suits them best. Cuttings takeii off close to the -t'-m of the plant root
readily in sand under a bandVgtaM. None of the leaves should be taken off, Of shortened above the sand.
2701*. Abiitilon. Borne of the rpedei of this genui ire rather ornamental when in flower. They thrive in any light
rich soil, and are readily increased bv cutting*, which should be placed In a gentle heat.

2715. Clidnthus 17812 puniceus is a splendid half-hardy shrub, which well deserves a place In every collection It
is very readily increased by cuttings and by seed, and thrives in peat or any light rich soil. In New Zealand'it is
called kowatn-gulukaka, or the parrot's bill ; and it is said to grow there to the size of a large tree
2716. Adesmia is a genus of South American plants, some of which are shrubby; the appearance of several of
them resembles that of Genista, and may be increased in the same maimer "

2730. Rhodanthe is a very elegant little tender annual, and highly deserving a place in every greenhouse, and
it requires to be grown in a good light soil.
1747. Podolepis 17860 gracilis is a very pretty annual, deserving a place in every flower border.
2731. Diplocoma. A handsome but rather tender herbaceous plant, requiring a light soil, with slight protection in
severe weather.
2732. Neja may be readily increased by cuttings, and will thrive in a good light soil.
2733. Mutisia is an exceedingly interesting genus of shrubby climbers, with leaves terminating in tendrils, by the
prehension of which the stems are supported. M. latifolia represents a family of climbers so very different from every
other hitherto propagated in British gardens, that we cannot but strongly recommend it for trial against every con-
servative wall. (Arb. Brit.)
2734. ChtetucliLSna. A very pretty herbaceous plant, of easy culture.

Page 748. Class XX. — GYNANDRIA.
Oiichida'CBjE " The uses to which the plants of this family are applied" are few, but in several instances highly
romantic. In Demerara, that most deadly of all poisons, the ' Wourali,' is thickened by the juice of the Catasetums; and
in Amboyna the true ' Elixir of Love ' is prepared from the minute farina-like seeds of Grammatophyllum specibsum.
In Mexico, where the ' language of flowers' is understood by all, the Orchidaceae seem to compose nearly the entire
alphabet. Not an infant is baptised, not a marriage is celebrated, not a funeral obsequyis performed, at which the aid
of these flowers is not called in by the sentimental natives, to assist the expression of their feelings ; they are offered
by the devotee at the shrine of his favourite saint, by the lover at the feet of his mistress, and by the sorrowing sur-
vivor at the grave of his friend : whether, in short, on fast days or feast days, on occasion of rejoicing or in moments
of distress, these flowers are sought for with an avidity which would seem to say that there was ' no sympathy like
theirs;' thus, ' Flor de los Santos,' ' Flor de Corpus,' ' Flor de los Muertos,' ' Flor de Maio,' ' No me olivides' (or
' Forget me not '), are but a few names out of the many that might be cited, to prove the high consideration in which
our favourites are held in the New World. Nor are these the only honours that are paid to them : for Hernandez
assures us that in Mexico the Indian chiefs set the very highest value on their blossoms, for the sake of their great
beauty, strange figure, and delightful perfume ; while in the Easf. Indies, if Rumphius is to be credited, the flowers them-
selves positively refuse to be worn, except by princesses or ladies of high degree. In Honduras, again, the large hol-
low cylindrical stalks of a fine species of Epidendrum [E. tibi'cinum] are made into trumpets by the little boys and
girls of the country ; and the pseudo-bulbs of several of the more succulent species are used instead of resin for the
strings of their guitars. The following are, however, almost the only known instances in which the tribe do any
direct service to mankind. The bulbs of Maxillaria bicolor contain a large quantity of an insipid watery fluid, which
is greedily sucked by the poor natives of Peru in the dry season ; a fluid of a similar nature is obtained from what is
probably a Laelia, in Mexico, and is administered as a cooling draught in fevers; from the roots of some of the
orchises, the nutritive substance called ' Salep' is obtained ; in New Zealand certain species are of considerable im-
portance as esculents ; and in Guiana, the soles of the shoemaker are as much indebted to the viscid matter obtained
from the Catasetums and Cyrtopodiums, as are the poisoned arrows of the Indians." (Bate. Orch., p. 2.)
Mr. Bateman, speaking of the fragrance of many of this order, says : " We question whether ' Araby the blest ' can
boast of any perfumes that can at all compete in sweetness with those exhaled by such plants as Angraecum odora-
lissimum I.itidl. MSS., Tetrapeltis tragrans, Aerides odoratum, and Epidendrum aromaticum. Other species emit
odours which remind the recipient of the smell of a druggist's shop, of the milk of the cocoa-nut, of fresh hay, of
wallflowers, violets, pomatum, aniseed, and angelica, of noyau, cinnamon, allspice, citron, musk, and honey. Some
of these yield no fragrance, except in the daytime ; but there are others which, like Epidendrum nocturnum and
Brassavola nodosa, are aromatic only by night ; and there are none, we believe, which are positively offensive at any
hour, either of the night or day." (lb., p. 4.)
The attention and curiosity are excited no more by the beauty and delicacy of the blossoms of many of this tribe, than
by the very close resemblances they bear to objects of the animal kingdom. In our native species we find the bee,
fly, spider, lizard, man, &c, surprisingly imitated; and in those of warmer climates, swans, eagles, doves, pelicans,
&c. &c.
The cultivation of Orchidaceae may be mentioned under two heads, namely, that of terrestrial and that of epiphytal
Orchidaceae.
Terrestrial Orchidaceae should never have a great volume of external air admitted at once, however fine the wea-
ther may be. To prevent the house i which should have a southern aspect) from becoming too hot, a thick canvass
shading should be drawn over it during summer sunshine. During the growing season, Orchidaceae require a mode-
rately moist heat, varying from 65° to 85° ; in the dormant season, from 60° to 75° is quite sufficient ; in the season of
rest the house should be kept dry. Orchidaceae in pots should be sparingly watered in the growing season ; in the
dormant state, little or no water should be given. The secret of growing these plants is to take care never to kill the
old roots : when too much water is given, while the plants are in a growing state, almost all the old roots invariably
perish. (Paxton in part.)
Epiphytal Orchidaceae may be grown in the same house with, and receive nearly the same treatment as, terrestrial
Orchidaceae, except that they require to be grown on, instead of in, the soil, attached to blocks of wood, or in baskets,
or any rustic construction in the basket way, and suspended from the roof, or by any other suitable means. In the
outset, before the plants are established on the soil, or wood, where they are intended to be grown, it is very necessary
to secure firmly the plant, and such roots as may be already formed, to the wood or soil, by means of bast or pegs, as
judgment shall direct. The best kind of soil for growing epiphytal Orchidaceae on is found to be good surface peat,
cut into pieces of 1 in. to 2 in. square ; this should be placed over a considerable quantity of drainage, in order to carry
off superfluous water, and at the same time, if they are plunged in a tan-bed, will allow the heat to rise more freely
than if the pots were entirely filled with soil.
" It is of the greatest importance to preserve and encourage the roots ; and, as they are generally protruded near the
surface of the soil, it should be raised several inches above the level of the pot, in a pyramidal form, in order that they
may have full room to push out." (Bot. Reg.)
Syringing the plants moderately, when in a growing state, till the flowers are noai ly expanded, helps their growth
much.

2845. Picea. "Some confusion exists in the works of modern authors respecting the silver fir and the spruce ;
partlv, as it would appear, from the circumstance of Linnaeus having made an erroneous application of the names
given to these trees by Pliny. The tree which Theophrastus calls Elate, Pliny calls Abies, and Linnaeus Pinus Picea ;
while the tree that Pliny calls Picea, and which is our spruce fir, is named by Linnajus Pinus jl'bLes. The silver fir
was esteemed by the Romans for its use in carpentry, and for the construction of vessels The wood of the
silver fir is elastic, and the colour is whitish. The grain is irregular, as the fibres which compose it are partly white
and tender, and partly yellow or fawn-coloured, and hard. The narrower the white lines are, the more beautiful and
solid is the grain of the wood. In the Vosges, it is said that the external layers are more compact than the internal
ones, which may arise from the practice of barking the trees there before they are cut down. The weight of this wood
varies exceedingly, according to the age of the tree, the place where it grew, and even the part of the trunk from
which it was taken. According to Hartig, the wood of a tree 80 years old weighs 66 lbs. 14 oz. per cubic foot green,
and 41 lbs. 5 oz. when dry ; while that of a tree 40 years old weighs only 37 lbs. 9 oz. when dry. It shrinks consider-
ably in drying, like all white woods. It is used for planks, and carpentry of all kinds, for the masts of small vessels,
for joists and rafters, and for building the boats for navigating rivers. It is said to endure a long time when used ns
piles, and to be much employed in Holland for that purpose. In the Vosges it is used in every department of agricul-
ture, carpentry, joinery, and even cabinet-making and sculpture. In England, the wood of the silver fir has been
chiefly used for flooring ; and, according to Arthur Young, and also to Mitchell, boards >awn out of full-grown trues

maybe laid down at once, without any risk of their shrinking. As fuel, the wood of the silver fir is to that of tho
beech as 1079 is to 1540, and that of the spruce as 1079 is to 1211. The charcoal is to that of the beech as 1127 is to 1600.
Though the charcoal is much inferior to that of the beech, yet it is preferred for heating iron that is to be forged, as
producing the heat more slowly, in consequence of which the iron is more pliant to work. The bark may be employed
*or tanning leather, and is used generally in some parts of Switzerland. A resinous sap flows from the trunk and
branches, called la'rmes de sapin. This s in is bitter, acrid, and viscous, and its smell approaches to that of the citron ;
it is Dealing, balsamic, and antiseptic. I he resinous fluid is found in small tumours or blisters, under the epidermis
of the bark and in the green < ones, from the latter of which it is collected about midsummer. From the resin of this
tree are manufactured Straaburs turpentine (so called from a large forest of silver firs, the llockwald, near Stras-
burg) colophony, and white pitch. The quantity of potash furnished by the bark and wood is in proportion of
2 lbs of potash to 10oO lb*, of wood and bark, which places the silver tir in the rank of 21 in a series of 73 ligneous
plants. In some parts of Inmpc, the fOOng cones, reduced by boiling to a pulp, and preserved with sugar, arc eaten
as a sweetmeat. Tin* COOSc rre U pat Into tea, to which it is said to communicate an agreeable odour. The leaves

the milk a peculiar taste." .
*' The silver tir like all the other ^bietina?, will attain a large size on soils of a very opposite description ; but a
loam, rather rich and deep than otherwise, appears to suit it best." {Arb. Brit., vol. iv.)

2846. Garrya 18088 elliptica is an evergreen haidy shrub, with thick coriaceous leaves, like some species of ever-
green viburnum. " This is probably the greatest botanical curiosity sent home by Douglas ; for it appears to represent
a natural order altogether distinct from any previously known, and connecting certain well-known natural orders
in an unexpected and satisfactory manner. In its amentaceous inflorescence, imperfect flowers, superior calyx, and
mode of germination, Garrya is very similar to Cupullferas, from which it differs most essentially in its wood without
concentric circles or dotted vessels, its opposite exstipulate leaves, simple fruit, and minute embryo lying in a great
mass of albumen. The latter characters bring it near Piperacea? and their allies, especially Chloranthea?, with which
it* toneless wood (for Chloranthus has no annual zones), simple fruit, and opposite leaves, also agree ; but the stipules

assured that the negroes on thetarm, who are in the habit of drinking large quantities of this vegetable milk, consider it
as highly nutritive; an assertion which startled us the more, as almost all lactescent vegetable°fluids are acrid, bitter,
and more or less poisonous. Experience, however, proved to us, during our residence at Barbula. that the virtues of
the Cow Tree, or Palo de Vara, have not been exaggerated. This fine tree bears the general aspect of the Star-apple
Tree (Chrysophyllum Cairiitc) ; its oblong, pointed, coriaceous, and alternate leaves are about 10 in. long, and marked
with lateral nerves, that are pirallel, and project beneath. The flower we had no opportunity of seeing; the fiuit Is
somewhat fleshy, and contains one or two kernels. Incisions made in the trunk of the tree are followed by a profuse-
flow of gluey and thickish milk, destitute of acridity, and exhaling a very agreeable balsamic odour. It was ottered to
us in calabashes ; and, though we drank large quantities of it, both at night before going to bed, and again early in

the morning, we experienced no uncomfortable effects. The viscidity of this milk alone renders it rather unpleasant
to those who are unaccustomed to it. The negroes and free people, who work in the plantations, use it by soaking
bread in it made from Maize, Manioc, Aropa, and Cassava. Slaves become visibly fatter during the season when the
Palo de Vaca yields most milk. When exposed to the air this fluid displays on its surface, probably by the
absorption of the atmospheric oxygen, membranes of highly animal nature, yellowish and thready, like those of
cheese; which, when separated from the more watery liquid, are nearly as elastic as those of caoutchouc, but in
process of time exhibit the same tendency to putrefaction as gelatine. The people give the name of cheese to the
curd which thus separates when brought into contact with the air, and say that a space of 5 or 6 days suffices to turn
it soar, as I found to be the case in some small quantities that I brought to New Valencia. The milk itself, kept in
a corked bottle, had deposited a small portion of coagulum, and, far from becoming fetid, continued to exhale a
balsamic scent. When mingled with cold water, the fresh fluid is coagulated with difficulty ; but contact with nitric
acid produced the separation of the viscous membranes.
" This wonderful tree appears peculiar to the cordillera of the shore, especially from Barbula to the Lake of
Maracaybo. Some individual Cow Trees are also said to exist near the village of San Mateo, and likewise in the
Valley of Caucaguea, three days' journey to the east of Caraccas.
" At Caucaguea, the natives call the tree which yields this nutritive fluid, Milk Tree (Arbol de. leche).'"
" The wood forming the body of the trunk is white, very close-grained, and hard, resembling the boxwood of
Europe. The soil which these trees inhabit is dark and rich, and must be damp or very wet all the year round."
(Sot. Mag.)
2851. Semeearpus 18108 Anacardimn is a lofty tree with spreading branches. Leaves about 18 in. long, and about
4 or 5 broad. Flowers small, of a greenish yellow colour. Receptacle of the fruit when ripe yellow, about the sue of
the nut, which is black ; the cover or shell is composed of 2 lamina:, the inner hard, the outer less so and leathery ;
between them are cells which contain the black, corrosive, resinous juice, for which this nut has been long known ;
the juice is of a pale milk-colour till perfectly ripe, when it becomes black. The wood of this tree is reckoned of no
use, not or.ly on account of its softness, but also because it contains much acrid juice, which renders it dangerous to
cut down and work upon. The fleshy receptacles on which the seeds rent are roasted in the ashes; and eaten by the
natives; their taste is very like that of roasted apples: unroasted, they taste astringent and acrid, leaving a painful
sensation on the tongue for some time. The kernels are rarely eaten. The green fruit, well pounded into a pulp,
makes good birdlime. The pure, black, acrid juice of the shell is employed by the natives externally to remove
rheumatic pains, aches, and sprains : in tender constitutions it often produces inflammation and swelling ; but where
it has not these effects it is an efficacious remedy It is employed by the Telinga physicians in the cure of almost
every kind of venereal complaint. It is in general use for marking cotton cloths ; the colour is improved and
prevented from running by a little mixture of quicklime and water. This juice is not soluble in water, and is only

2851. Melanorrhce'a 18109 usitdla This tree is a native of Hindostan. in a large valley called Kadbbu, in the
kingdom of Munipur, Silhet, and Tipperah, as well as in the Burmese empire, on the banks of the Irrawadi, where it
is called Theet-tsee or Zit-si. This is identical with the majestic K/ieu or varnish tree of Munipur, on the north-east
frontier districts of Silhet and Tipperah. Mr. M. R. Smith, who has resided a long time in Silhet, considers this the
same as the varnish tree of the Chinese, in the eastern and north-eastern provinces. It is procurable in great
quantities from Munipur, where it is used for painting river craft, and for varnishing vessels destined to contain liquid
The drug is conveyed to Silhet for sale by the merchants. On being handled it occasions extensive erysipelatous
swellings, attended with pain and fever, but never of long duration. In the neighbourhood of Prome a considerable
quantity of varnish is extracted from the tree, but very little at. Martaban, owing, it is supposed, to the poorness of
the soil, and partly also to there being none of the people in that part whose business is to perform the process,
although it is very simple. Short joints of a thin sort of bamboo, sharpened at one end, and shut up at the other, are
inserted in a slanting direction into holes made in the trunk and principal branches, and left there for 24 or 48 hours ;
after which they are removed, and their contents emptied into a basket previously varnished over. Sometime? a
hundred bamboos may be seen sticking into the tree at once during the collecting season, which last as long as the
tree is destitute of leaves, namely, from January until April, and they are renewed as long as the juice will flow. In
its pure state it is sold at Prome "at the rate of i tical, or 2s. Gd., the viss ; and at Martaban, 2 Madras rupees the viss,
although of an inferior quality to that sold at Prome, being usually mixed with oil of sesamum. A tree is reckoned to
produce 2 to 3 or 4 viss annually, a viss being equal to 3* lb. Every article of household furniture destined to
contain solid or liquid food is lacquered over with it. The article to be varnished with it must be prepared with
calcined bones, after which the varnish is laid on thinly, either in its pure state, or variously coloured. The process
of drying is the most difficult part, being effected in a very slow and gradual manner, by the articles thus varnished
being placed in subterraneous vaults for many months. The drug is also used as a size glue in the process of gilding ;
nothing more being required than to besmear the surface of the article to be gilded with it, and immediately to apply
the gold leaf. If it is considered how very extensively that art is practised by the Burman nation, it being among their
most frequent acts of devotion and piety to contribute to the gilding of their numerous religious edifices and idols, it
will be evident that a great quantity of the drug must be consumed for that purpose alone. Finally, the beautiful
Pali writing of the religious order of the Burmas, on ivory, palm leaves, or metal, is entirely done with this varnish
in its native and pure state. (Don's Mill., ii. 67.) A mixture of loam and peat will suit this tree ; and ripened cuttings
will root in sand, under a hand-glass, in heat.

History, Use, Propag ition, Culture^
2855. Porphyrocoma is a beautiful plant, with dense heads or spikes of purple bracts, and purplish-blue flower*
Culture and propagation are the same as those recommended for Justicia, p. 18.
2856. Plilogacdnthits. Pretty shrubs cultivated in the same manner as Justicia, p. 18.
2857. Cyrtanthera. The species are all splendid plants, when well grown. They succeed best in a warm part
of a stove. A mixture of good loam, leaf mould, and turfy peat is the best soil for them. In order to insure large
heads of flowers, the plants should be shifted into larger pots when necessary. They are readily propagated from
cuttings.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2862. Chmidrospirmwn. This is a rambling evergreen shrub, with ash-coloured separating bark, and large
coriaceous 3-nerved leaves, and terminal panicles of small greenish-yellow flowers. The erect position of the nvula
seems to indicate its belonging to Jasminea;. but the estivation of the corolla is valvate. It does very well if trained
to a trellis, or for covering a pillar in a stove It is readily increased by cuttings in the ordinary way.

also made into pudding with the usual condiments, and eaten either hot or cold with milk. The Scotch residents
sometimes dress it as milk porridge. Mr. Clarke is of opinion that if the Fundi or l'undungi grain were raised for
exportation to Europe it might prove a valuable addition to the list of light farinaceous articles of food in use among
the delicate and convalescent. The plant much resembles Digildria, and is called Fundi, Fumiungi, or Hungry Rice.

18242. Dadylis ccespitvsa is the famous Tussock grass of the Falkland Islands. It is also abundant in Terra dei
Fuego, Straits of Magellan, Cape Horn, &c. Commerson discovered it first in the Straits of Magellan in 1767. It
will thrive in pure sand near the sea, where it has the benefit of an atmosphere loaded with moisture, of soil enriched
by decaying seaweed, and of manure which is in the Falkland Islands composed of guano. It is a gregarious grass,
extending in patches sometimes for nearly a mile, but is seldom seen beyond the influence of the sea air in the places'
of its natural growth. It will, however, thrive far from the sea. When cultivated, Governor Moody of the Falkland
Islands says, he knows of no grass likely to yield so great an amount of nourishment as the Tussock grass when
thoroughly established. He recommends it not to be grazed, but cut and reaped in bundles, for if cut it quickly
shoots again ; but it is much injured by grazing, for all animals, especially pigs, tear it up to get at the sweet nutty-
flavoured roots. The Tussock has been used abundantly when made into hay, being preferred by cattle even to its
green state. Plants of the Tussock grass six feet high were exhibited in the Crystal Palace in 1851, by Peter Lawson
and Sons, raised from seed by them in the Orkney Islands.

231. Protedcece. In the Botanical Magazine there are some valuable remarks on the culture of Protedcece, by Mr.
John Smith, practised for many years at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, which w-- here extract. " Within the
last twenty or thirty years the cultivation of Protectees has declined, the species have gradually disappeared from most
of the private collections around London, and but few nurserymen now take an interest in them. This change may
be partly owing to the supposed difficulties of preserving them ; for, under certain circumstances, the plants suddenly
die, even when in a vigorous state of health. In the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, Protenctce have maintained their

place, more especially tho=e that are natives of Australia ; and as there are some at this time between forty and fifty
years of age, and others of a large size half that age, it may be inferred that Proteace<e are not so short-lived in a state
of cultivation as they are generally supposed. Within our recollection it was the common practice to grow them in
some kind of light soil, usually peat. The hygrometrical condition of such soil is easily affected by changes of the
surrounding atmosphere, becoming quickly dry during hot weather, and apt to become sodden with moisture in
winter, and the spongioles or rootlets of Proteacete are very sensitive to either extremes; the use of light soil, therefore,

in our opinion, accounts for the frequent sudden death nf plants of this kind. We use good yellow loam, to which, for
sm;ill plants, we add a little sharp sand. In shifting or repotting a plant we make it a rule to keep the ball of roots a
little elevated above the surface of the new mould, to prevent any superabundance of water from lodging round the base
of the stem. In the winter, care must be taken to give no more water than is absolutely required to keep the soil
moderately moist ; but, in summer, water may be freely given in the evening or morning. It is important that the
plants should be so placed that the sun's rays do not strike the sides of the pot. The Proteacece do not readily propa-

2867. Hemiclidia. This genus is nearly allied to Dryandra and is cultivated like other Australian Proteaceous
plants.
2868. Anthurium is >eparated from the old genus I'blhos by Schotte and Endlicher, and perhaps rightly so. The
American species of Po/hos mostlv belong to this genus. The type of the genus Pdthos, accordi' g to these botanists,
is ibePbthos scdndens of Linnaeus (Bot. reg. 1837). The species' require the same treatment as that recomtmnded for
the stove species of Puthus or Axrum.

duction of small glass tubes with which each person is sometimes provided. The leaves when green taste something
like mallow leaves ; they are roasted and dried, and almost pulverised, before they are packed. There are three kinds
of it in its prepared state, although produced by the same plant, which go under the names of Caa-cuys, Cua-mini,
and Caa-quazu ; the first is the buds of the leaves when hardly expanded, the second is the leaves stripped of the ribs
before roasting, and the third is roasted without any preparation. The people boast of the innumerable qualities
that this herb possesses. It is certainly aperient and diuretic, but the other qualities attributed to it are rather
doubtful. Like opium it produces some singular effects ; it gives sleep to the restless and spirit to the torpid. The

leaves are called in Paraguay Yerva-tnate, and by the French Herbe du Paraguai. The Plex Gongdnha, the leaves of
which afford a kind of tea called Gongonha in Brazil, and which by some is considered identical with that of Para-
guay, grows in the provinces of Minas Geraes and St. Paul ; and when the export of tea from Paraguay was
prohibit* d by Dr. Francia the dictator, the inhabitants of the other stales, who were formerly supplied from
Paraguay, were obliged to use that from Brazil, which was found to be much inferior. Persons ignorant of the specific
distinctions between the two trees have attributed the inferiority of the Brazil kind merely to the ditl'erent mode of
preparing the leaves.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2874. Macromeria is a fine half-hardy perennial, and grows best in an equal mixture of sandy loam and fibry peat-
It ripens seed if kept in a greenhouse, by which it is propagated. Its foliage is too coarse to make it a valuable
ornamental plant; and its flowers, which always droop, fall oft* soon after opening, so that it never looks so well as its
showy appearance on paper or in the herbarium would lead us to expect.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2877 Cvananthus is a native of the higher ranges of the Himalayas. It proves to be a delicate little herbaceous
plant with the habit of some species of Campanula. It requires plenty of moisture during the flowering season, but
afterwards should be kept, rather dry and allowed to rest.
2878 Cantua is a genus of beautiful shrubs. The Peruvian Indians, according to Ruiz and Pavon, adorn their
clumbers on feast days with the C. buxifblia. The ancient Indians called it the magic tree. The species have proved
h irdv greenhouse plants, and thrive if potted in a mixture of light loam and peat containing a portion of sand. They
oossiblv will grow freely in the open air during summer, if planted in a warm sheltered situation ; some of them have
succeeded in the open air in Devonshire. They may be treated in the same way as Fuchsias. Cuttings root freely.
•>879 Desfontainea. This is one of the plants in whose external features there is nothing to lead to a knowledge of
their affinities It has been placed in Gentidnece, Solandcea?, and Theophrastea: by turns. It is an evergreen and a
u aive of America with a very bitter taste. The leaves are opposite petiolate spiny-toothed, very similar to those of

History, Use, Propagation, Cuiure,
will grow in any soil, and are increased by division. These plants are w«l! adapted for decorating flower-borders
early in spring.
18486. Pharb'itis cathartica. It is stated that M Bauduit, a rich proprietor of St. Domingo (Fl. med. des Antilles),
discovered in this milky plant a resinous juice, which coagulates, and proves to be profoundly purgative. He formed
of it a much approved syrup, which in the French colonies bears his name. The culture and propagation are the same
as those for Ipomafa.
2885. Exogonium pdrga. The root of this pianc is the true jalap of commerce. Its cultivation and propagation are
the same as for the tuberous-rooted species of Ipomne^a.

2894. ManditiUa. This plant was first sent to this country under the name Chili jasmine; a name which has
been given to it from its snowy white sweet-scented flowers, which from their large size and colour are beautiful to
look upon. The plant is well fitted for training up trellis-work or rafters in a conservatory or ou a wall The young
shoots should be trained to the utmost length, as it is always near the ends of the shoots where it blooms. The shoos
should be cut back in the same manner as vines in winter, or other plants which bear their fruit or flowers upon tne
wood of the same year. It is readily increased by cuttings.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2895. Roupellia. This Is a handsome fragrant plant noticed by Afzelius (Report, 1794, p. 1 13. No. 7.) as the Cream
fruit, so called from the use formerly made of the cream-like juice of the fruit. The flowers are large, white tinged
with rose colour, the corona is red. It is a pretty stove plant well suited to train on a trellis, pillar, or rafters ; or to be
grown in a pot and the plant supported by a wire trellis. Good fresh loam mixed with a little leaf mould suits it well
It is a fast grower and requires water freely during summer, but care must be taken that the soil does not become
stagnant. It is readily increased by cuttings.
2896. Dipladenia. The species are either scandent or erect shrubs, with opposite entire leaves, and many bristles
or glands in place of stipules. The genus differs principally from Echites in the number of uectareous glands. The
flowers are very showy, usually rose-coloured, pink, or purple. They thrive best in equal parts of light rich loam,
heath mould, and very coarse sand. They may be trained to rafters or wire trellis in a stove. They are readily
increased by cuttings.
2897. Rhynchospermum. This is a pretty climbing shrub, with the habit of a simple-leaved species of Jasmine. It
is well fitted for training on rafters or trellis-work. It is of easy culture, and is readily propagated by cuttings.
2898. Parsonsia. The species are cultivated like other green-house climbers. A mixture of loam, sand, and peat
suits them best.
2899. Lydnsia. This is a pretty greenhouse climber, with sweet-scented flowers. It is well adapted for training
on rafters. The same soil recommended for Parso7isia will suit it.
290H. Adenium Honghel is a curious plant. It forms one or two fleshy stems like those of Plumiiria, on the top of
a club-shaped protuberant root or base of stem ; and these stems divide again into dumpy branches, each bearing
two or three leaves only. It appears to be of very slow growth. Its flowers are very handsome and rose-coloured.
According to Alph. Decandolle this shrub is found in dry places in Wallo and Senegambia, where it is commonly
called Honghel. It requires a dry stove where it can be fully exposed to the sun. Beii>g a plant of slow growth, it
does not require much water at any time, and it should be kept almost dry after the leaves have fallen.
420. Cerbera Tanghin is the Ordeal tree of Madagascar. When the late queen of Madagascar, in the beginning of
1830, came to the resolution of clearing her land from sorcerers, an ordeal was commanded in every town and village.

and at Tannanarivoo scarcely any class of inhabitants escaped. On the 9th of May, 1830, in compliance with the
sovereign's mandate, a notable administration of the Tanghin took place. The accused persons amounted to about
thirty, including some of the highest. All the nobility recovered ; while the unknown plebeians, wno, according to the
common jugglery had been compelled with them, died. The former made the usual triumphant entry into town, on
the 17th, borne in open palanquins, amongst the shouting, dancing, and grimaces of the many thousands of people. In
the following month, April, about an equal number of Malagassy ladies submitted to the same ordeal, but all survived,
and, in due course, made a grand entry into town. The Tanghin is administered in private as well as in public. A
subject so deeply rooted in the minds of all the Malagas*}- people, from the sovereign down to the slave, is the beliel
in witchcraft ; and so blindly are they led by this belief, that the whole nation may he considered as under a spell as
powerful as the fascination which they attribute to the unfortunate sorcerers themselves. The fruit of the Tanghin is
the part used, and is administered by means of some liquid, as broth.
2901. Lacepidia ins/gnis is a fine tree with very fragrant blossoms. It grows in any light soil, and is readily propa-
gated by cuttings in the usual way.
2902. Clliicus. The tubers of this plant are eaten in Peru. In the time of the potato panic the roots were intro-
duced as a substitute for it, but it proved an entire failure, as the roots are worthless, and not suited to the English
palate. It is called Ullucoand Melloco in Peru. The plant is cultivated for its roots throughout the elevated regions
of the Andes ot Peru and Bolivia under the name of Oca-quina. The tubers are chiefly used by the Indians in the
preparation of Chuna, by alternately freezing and steeping them, by which they are changed into an amylaceous sub-
stance. It is a succulent herbaceous plant, growing luxuriantly in the open air during the summer and autumn. Being
easily affected by frost, it is necessary to take up the tubers about the end of October, and keep in store till April, when
they'should be planted in the open air. The plant throws out thread-like branches, which run over the stems, or on
the ground, and enter the soil, and there develope new tubers. The largest tubers grown are about the size of a h;izel
nut, of a rich yellowish colour, and firm waxy texture.
2903. Labisia. This curious stove plant requires to be grown in a humid atmosphere, where it may have a gentle
bottom heat. In winter little water is required for weeks ; if the soil is kept moist it will be all that is required.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2901. Corynecarpus is a fine tree, with laurel-like leaves. It only requires the culture of an ordinary greenhouse
plant, and readily increases by cuttings.
2905. Fagrce^a. The species of this genus are beautiful trees. They flourish in a moist stove, and succeed best
with bottom heat.
2906. Habrothdmnus. The species of this genus are said by Hartweg to be the gayest productions of the Mexican
flora. The genus is hardly distinct from Cestrum, but, as the plants are common in the gardens under the name of
Habrothdmnus, we have retained the name. The species do well with the treatment of Pelargonium.
2907. Isochrdma tubulbsa is a handsome half-hardy deciduous shrub. It grows freely in rich soil in the open air
during summer, but it should have an abundant supply of water ; and it should be taken up about the end of

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2910. Rogiira is a genus of pretty shrubs nearly allied to Rondelitia ; they grow freely in a mixture of loam and
leaf mould, and are readily increased by cuttings.
2911. Pinlas. P.cdrncais a very handsome and showy plant ; it grows freely in a moist heat in a mixture of
leaf mould, sand, and loam, and is readily increased by division and cuttings in the ordinary way.
2912. Hindsia. The species are among the finest things obtained from Brazil. They only require the treatment
of other stove plants.
2913. Higginsia mexic&na. This plant was raised in the Berlin Garden from seeds that sprang up in the earth in
which Mexican plants had been imported. For the summer it does very well in the open air, but it must be placed in
a green-house in winter. The flowers are in axillary cymes.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2920. Weigela is one of the most beautiful shrubs which have been introduced into this country for years. It is hardy
and an early flowerer ; it does well against a wall. It appears to be nothing but the Calyphyrum floridum of Bunge.
It also forms a pretty plant when grown in pots.
2921. Rhodostoma is a small bush with cymes of white flowers, which as they decay change to red. The culture and
propagation are the same as those recommended for Posoqueria or Gardenia.
2922. SherboHrnia is a beautiful shrub when it flowers. It requires much heat and a moist atmosphere. In its
natural habitat it grows in the low lands by the sides of rivulets, where it forms a close compact leafy bush, along
with Smeathmanniu pubescens. Its culture is the same as for Gardenia.
2923 Heinsia jasminiflora is a most graceful shrub in its native place. The flowers are numerous, about the size
of those of Vinca rosea. Its culture is the same as for Gardenia. In its native place it grows on the mountains in
great quantities along with Smeathmdnnia Uevigdta, and these two flowers form profuse sheets of white.

the Materia Mcdica, yet the botanical character of the plant which produced it remained unknown until Professor
Brotero of Coimbra determint-d the genus to which it ou*ht to be referred, with the assistance of observations made
in Brazil on living plants by Bernardo Gomez, a resident medical botanist. The plant is a native of moist woods
near Pernambuco. Bahia, Rio Janeiro, and other provinces of Brazil. It is called Ipecacuanha by the natives of
some parts of Brazil, and Poaia de Matlo by those of the southern provinces. The root is simple, or a little branched,
irregularly bent, externally brown, wrinkled by rings. It appears that a native of Brazil, whose name was Michael
Tristan, was the first who brought Ipecacuanha into use. He speaks of it as a remedy in dysentery. Piso afterwards
describes it, and speaks of two sorts, the white and brown. Besides these, the name Ipecacuanha, which, in the
language of South America, means Vomit-root, is given to various species of Cynanchum, AscU-pias, Dorslenia,
Euphdrbia, Viola, &c. The black, or striated, Ipecacuanha is Psychdtria cmetica, the white Ipecacuanha is Richard-
sbnia scAbra, and the common brown Ipecacuanha is Cephaelis Ipecacuanha.
2924. CAtha is a plant of easy culture, only requiring the treatment of other hothouse shrubs.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2933. Corethrdstylis is one of the most -triking Swan River plants ; but, owing to the difficulty of cultivatmg it, the
specimens that have been produced in Europe are very inferior to the wild ones. The foliage is sweet-sceuted.
Rough peat and silver sand is the best soil known for it. It requires a liberal supply of water in summer, and as much
air as possible. In winter it should be treated the same as Cape heaths. It is propagated by cuttings in the
usual way.
2934. Guichcnblia is a very pretty shrub, and requires the same treatment as Corethristylis.

History, Use, Propagation, Vulture,
18751. Sarcostemma campanulata is a pretty little greenhouse climber, well adapted for training over ornamental
wirework, like most of the Asclepiadeous plants. It requires a rich loamy soil, and plenty of moisture during the
growing season. When it has done flowering, water should be gradually withheld. The plants should then be cut
back and repotted. -
2937. Schubirtia graviolent. When Stephanbtis ftoribunda made its appearance it was generally considered, and
Justly ,*t he finest twining plant in cultivation. The present plant is not inferior to it under good culture. The flowers
are rather larger and quite as fragrant. It is of easy culture.
2938. Trichosachme is a curious woolly climbing shrub, with small flowers having long purple tails, which are analo.
gous to those in St*ophdnthus. Its culture is the same as that of other hothouse climbers.
2939. Cyrtoceras is very close to Ho>/a in habit. It is a beautiful hothouse climber. It reouires the treatment of

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2944. H'ignmlia. The species are straggling plants, with blue flowers, beset with stinging hairs ; they are of easy
culture, and cuttings will rout readily. The genus conies near to Hydrblea.
2945. Xanthbsia rotundifblia is one of the prettiest greenhouse plants. It grows best in rough peat, sand, and a little
loam. It will grow from cuttings or best from seed.
2946. Astrotrichc. Grows well with the same treatment as Xanthbsia.
2947. Narthex asafce'tida. Dr. Falconer says that he has compared his materials with Ksempfer's description and
figures, and with the original specimuis of that author in the collection in the British Museum, and found them to
a»ree, as far as comparison could be instituted, in every essential particular. Jubbar Khan, the Dardoh rajah of
the country in which Dr. Falconer gathered his specimens, at once recognised it as that which furnishes the Heeng
or Asafcetida of commerce, and referred to tlip medicinal accounts given of it by the Persian and Arabian authors ;
but the Dardohs are a wild race, and do not collect the gum resin for exportation. Some young shoots were
carefully removed and introduced to the Botanic Harden at Saliarumpoor, but afterwards transferred to the subsidiary
hili garden at Mussooree. Of these some have smceeded well, but had not flowered up to the time of Dr. Falconer
leaving India ; and one of these furnishpd the leaves which are represented in the figure in the Linnean Transactions,
together with a small quantity of asafcetida, differing in no respect from the ordinary condition of that substance an

it occurs in commerce. The species is found, as it would appear, in the greatest abundance in the Persian provinces
of Khorassan and Laar, and tlience extends on the one hand into the plains of Turkistan upon the Oxus, where
it seems to have been met by Sir Alexander Burnes, and on the other stretches across from Beloochistan, through
Candahar and other provinces of Affehanistan. to the eastern side of the valley of the Indus in Astore. Dr. Falconer
has not met with it in Cashmere. Besides the gum resin, the fruits of Xdrthez Asqfte'tida are also imported into
India for medicinal use, and along with them the fruits of another umbelliferous plant, which Dr. Falconer found to
belong to a true Ferula, and which are sold under the name of Doogoo. a word evidently connected with the Greek
itiCxot. Dr. Falconer also mentions another umbelliferous fruit in the collection of Dr. Royle, labelled as the seed
of the wild asafoetida plant, collected and brought to England by Sir John MacN'eill from Persia, which differs widely
from the fruit both of Xdrthez and Ferula, and belongs to another tribe of Umbcllifcra*.
2948. Grammdnthes is a pretty little annual plant. It requires to be grown in a pot placed in a greenhouse. It
will, perhaps, succeed on rockwork. A light sandy soil suits it best.
2949. Acantholimon glum&ceum is a pretty little Alpine plant of easy culture. It should be grown In a pot filled
with a light loamy soil well drained. It is propagated hv dividing the plant at the root, or by seed.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2950. Elitina longipetala will grow best in white sand with a small admixture of loam. It would probably succeed
in a bed of white sand out of doors, if it cm be kept from shooting too early in spring.
2951. Hymenocallis. The flowers of H. Borkiana smell like Vanilla.
2952. Callipsyche. This bulb should be potted in sandy loam and leaf mould. In summer, while growing, it
requires to be kept in a temperature of 75° or 80° by day and shaded in sunny weather. In autumn, when the leaves
die, it should be kept in a warm greenhouse quite dry for a few weeks. As soon as the bulb begins to shoot it should
again be watered and placed in more heat. It is a beautiful plant when in blossom.
2953. Calipharca. This genus is very nearly allied to Eitryc/es and requires the same treatment.
2954. Sphierdtrle. The species are rather hardy. They require the same treatment as the greenhouse kinds ol
Amaryllis ; that is, to be kept dry when in a dormant state, and plenty of water given to them while growing

are tall handsome plants, with green drooping tl iwen and coloured bracts.
2958. Acanthdstachys requires the same treatment as Agave or J.ittce\i. The plant is from the southern part of
Brazil, and is covered with a white scurf. The bracts are large and bright red. The flowers are sulphur colour.
It requires a heat of from 88° to 60°. A soil composed of equal parts of sand and decayed leaves seems most agreeable
to It. The leaves are all radical and keeled.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2959. PUya is a genus of pretty plants. They have much of the habit of the pineapple. They are half-epiphytal,
and will grow in the poorest situations, as on stones or wood. They succeed well with the same kind of treat-
ment as epiphytal orchideous plants.
2960. Vriesia. This genus is nearly allied to Tilldndsia. The species will grow suspended by a piece of wire
from a beam in an orchidaceous house, or they may be suspended in a wire basket. The bracts of all are of a
beautiful red colour. In fact they require the same kind of culture as the tropical epiphytal Ore.hidete. When potted

1 61 JEchmia. A genus composed of eniohvtal Dineanole-like plants with long racemes or spikes of scarlet or red
flowers, and large scarlet or red bracts which last give splendour to the plants. They succeed well with the same
treatment as tropical epiphytal Orchidca:. They will grow on blocks of wood, in baskets, or in pots well drained with
put -herds, in leaf mould. Thev require plenty of heat and moisture when in a growing state.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2962. Phcedranassa. This is a splendid bulb with cylindrical, fleshy, rather fistular scapes, and broad green petiolate
naves. The flowers are about 6 in an umbel, and are pendulous, lon^r and tubular, green at base and apex ; the
stamens protrude, and the stigma is clavate. P chloracea grows on rocks at the village of Saragura near Loxa in
Peru, at the height of 9000 feet above the level of the sea ; and P. obtiisa in the valley of San Antonia in the province
of Quito. They are both greenhouse bulbs. They require to be potted in light, rich, sandy loam ; kept quite dry du-
ring the season of rest, and fully supplied with moisture when in a growing state. The flowers rise before the leaves.
2963. Gastrotiema requires the same culture and treatment as Amaryllis.
2964. Phycilla. Pretty bulbs and require the same treatment as Amaryllis, to be kept dry when in a dormant
state and given plenty of water while growing.
2965. Callithauma. These are bulbs with green flowers which are stated to grow in their native country as tall

as a man, but they are actually hardly 3 feet high. In this country they scarcely attain I foot. This genus is closely
akin to CobHrghia, of which, according to Herbert it may perhaps ultimately be found to form only a section.
2966. Spr,kclia. Comprehend! the Jacobea Lilies well known for their splendid ringent decimate large showy
blossoms, with the Stamens closely embraced by the lower lip. The species grow very well out of doors, planted
close against a south wall.
2967. Izi.iliri.Di. The plants are perfectly hardy and flower freely. Whether it will lie better to take up the bulbs
to be dried in summer and reset in the autumn is not yet ascertained, but it will probably not be necessary.
'i968. hyeb is. Cultivated like other hardy bulbs. They require to be grown in a sheltered place.
2909. CiilUinin. These splendid plants should be rearedin a hot-bed and then removed to a cool greenhouse. The
open border would in all probability suit them. The genus is nearly allied to Ahtrxmeria. The roots are edible.

History, i'se, Propagation, Culture,
2970. Bomdria. All the species will do very well out of doors in a warm sheltered situation in summer, but require
protection during winter. A light dry soil suits ihem best. They may be propagated either by d'vidiof? the p'apt at
the root or by seed. Being climbers tiny require to have something to support the stems.
2971. Ataccia. A moist warm part of a stove suits these plants. A mixture of loam and peat with plenty of water
is the best soil for them. They are readily increased by offsets. They are very remarkable plants.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2974. Cordyline comes very near to Dracaena, and requires nearly the same treatment : they are tine plants.
2975. Spironima will be despised hv the searcher after show plants, bill by the lover of fragrant plants it will be
cherished, for its smell is delicious. To be treated as any common greenhouse plant ; increased by division.
2976. Luxuridga is a splendid plant when in blossom. It grows best in leaf mould and sand, and requires plenty
of water while growing. Being a creeping radicant plant it is readily increased by cuttings.
2977. Callixene, Lapngeria, and Luxuridga are all climbing plants from the south of Chili ; Lapageria from
Chiloe. All three are much alike, and are prohably only species of the same genus. Their culture is the same.
2978. Lapanena riisra is a twining plant, with a fascicled fleshy root, 6 ft. or more in height. The flowers are
i.'THe. rose-coloured, and spotted with white. Requires leaf mould ami sand, and should be trained to a support.

2979. Philesia buiijblia is enumerated by Dr. Joseph Hooker as amongst the handsomest of the antarctic American
Flora, occurring along the coast of Magellan to Valdivia. According to Mr. Lobb, who first sent it to this country
in a living state, it is a plant of slow growth. In its native country it forms large masses on trunks of trees and on
rocks, throwing out long slender stems which creep under the decayed bark, and over rocks that are partially
covered with soil. The flowers are produced near the extremities of the branches, have acampanulate form of a
depp rose-colour, and are sometimes not less in size than a common tulip. Mr. Lobb says he traced the plant from
the level of the sea to the snow line of the mountains, and h flourishes more freely at this great elevation.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2981. Bidwillia. This plant was introduced by Mr. Bidwill of Sydney. It is a native of an elevated tract of table
land, called New England, on the south mountains of the Australian continent. It is quite hardy and of easy culture.
2982. Similhis. Heath mould is the best soil for this plant, and it is increased by division.
2983. Echcdndia is a tall plant. The flowers are greenish yellow, in clusters of 3 — 6, and issuing singly from »mall
bracts. They ooen for 8 or 10 hours and then close and fade. The culture is easy.
2984. Chryiobaclron. This pretty little plant grows in boggy places. The pot in which it is grown should b«
placed in w,.ter to about the middle.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2987. homeris. A curious shrub ; the blossoms at first si»ht resemble those of small -flowered species of Edwardsia.
The whole plant has the odour of Polanisia. For culture see Cdpparis, p. 458.
2988. Anopteris. This is a fine-looking greenhouse tree or large shrub. The leaves are large and handsome. It
is of easy culture. A compost of sand loam and peat suits it best, and cuttings are easily rooted.
2989. Eleutherine. To be kept moist when growing. A peat soil is best for it ; readily increased by division .
2990. Prepusa. All the spi-c'fs are beautiful when in blossom. They grow freely in a mixture of peal-earth and
sand with the addition of a little turfy loam. They require moisture when in a growing state, but should be kept
rather dry in winter as they are apt to damp off at that season. They may be propagated by cuttings or division.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
879. Tetrathica is a genus of delicate greenhouse shrubs, gay with pretty blossoms. They will grow freely in a
compost of peat, loam, and sand in equal proportions, and if a few potsherds are mixed with it so much the better.
In summer plenty of air should be given, and shade in sunny weather. In winter they should be placed in some airy
part of the greenhouse where they will be secure from damp. Fire heat should not be applied except to keep off frost.
They are propagated by cuttings in the usual way.
19052. Amyris toxtfera is a large tree with pinnate leaves. The fruit hangs in bunches; they are pear-shaped,
and ol a purple colour. The juice distilled from the trunk of the tree is as black as ink, and the inhabitants of
Carolina believe it to be poisonous. It is called Janca tree and White Candlewood ; and the wood is said to be
valuable as timber ; it bears a fine polish and has a pleasant smell. The fruit has much the taste of balsam of
Copaiba.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
2998. Lagetta lintedria is the famous Jamaica lace-bark tree Many persons have seen this beautiful substance
but few have seen the living tree, for it was not until 1844 that it was introduced permanently to our hothouses, and
then only through Mr. Wilson, curator of the Botanic Garden at Bath in Jamaica, to Kew Gardens, where it flowered
and fruited in the autumn of 1849. It is well known that the liber or inner bark of this tree consists of layers of reti-
culated fibre, exactly resembling well prepared lace, and its nature is best exhibited by taking a truncheon from a
branch and teaiing down the bark and separating it by hand into as many layers as that portion of the tree is years
old. The ladies of Jamaica, Lunan observes, " are extremely dexterous in making caps, ruflles, and complete suits of
lace with it." In order to bleach it after being drawn out as much as it will bear, they expose it stretched to the sun-
shine and sprinkle it frequently with water. It bears washing well with common soap, and acquires a degree of white,
ness equal to the best artificial lace. The wild negroes have made apparel from it of a very durable nature, but the
common use to which it is applied is rope-making. The Spaniards are said to have worked it into cables. It was also
made into negro whips in the days of slavery. The tree grows in marly limestone hills where there is not a particle
of earth to be seen. In this country, according to Mr. John Smith of Kew Gardens, it is best grown in good yellow
loam mixed with a little leaf mould and sand. It is diflBcult to propagate, and is most likely to succeed according to
the same authority by layering. The tree is deciduous in its native country, but in our hothouses it becomes ever
green.

2999. Edgwirthia is a half-hardy shrub, and grows freely in a compost of sandy loam and one of turfy peat with
sufficient drainage, for although it requires an ample supply of water while growing during summer it is liable to
damp off in winter, and for a few weeks at this time it requires little water. The flowers being sweet-scented and the
plant of free growth, it may be expected to prove a useful addition to our greenhouses.
3000. BuginvUlata is a fine stove climber, suited for training upon trellis-work or pillars. The purple bracts are the
principal feature of the plant. A compost of sand, loam, and turfy peat answers it well, and cuttings strike root freely
in the ordinary wav.
fOOl. Geissuis. This plant being so recently introduced, very little is known of the manner in which it should be
cultivated. The flowers are a bright crimson and grow in long dense racemes.
19096. Polygonum cuspidatum is said by De Vriese to be the handsomest of all the species. P. Brunbnis and
/'. vaccintifulium are well fitted for ornamenting rockwork. P. complixum is a small round-leaved climbing species,
well fitted for covering pillars in a conservatory or greenhouse, and is probablv a species of Sarcogbuum. From P.
chininse, but more particularly P. tinctbrium, indigo is prepared in China. Which last is cultivated extensively in
Belgium at a substitute for the true indigo, and is said to produce the dye in great abundance and of the finest
quality.

3p0o. Agathophyllum. This is a t>ee not much known. It will require to be grown like other stove plants. It
will propagate by cuttings. It is called Madagascar Nutmeg.
3016. Oreodaphne. This tree will only require the treatment usually given to greenhouse plants. Oreodaphne
bullata is called stink hout or stink-wood ; and the greatest part of the timber used in building, and indeed for every
other purpose, in South Africa, consists of the giel hout (yellow wood, a species of Poducarpus) and the stink hout.
Our plant is said to produce a handsome wood resembling mahogany both in colour and quality.

require the same treatment as Chorozema.
3009. Jansbnia formbsa. The nearest affinity of Jansbnia is with Brachvsema, with which genus Mr. Kinpist states
that it agrees in its unguiculate petals, in the form and unusual length of the keel, in the extreme shortness of the
standard, in its elongated filiform style, and in its shortly stalked villous germs, surrounded at the base by a minute
fleshy ring; but it is abundantly d stmgnished by its capitate inflorescence, by the remarkable inequality of the calycine

appear to exceed six in number. Mr. Kippist also compares it with Leptosema Benth., which is clearly distingi ished
by its bibracteate calyx, composed of two nearly equal lips, the uppermost of which is slightly bifid, its scarcely
uuguiculate vexillum ; its wings about equal in length to the keel ; the distinct inflexion of the carinal suture, as
well as by its inflorescence : that of Leptosema being a densely crowded raceme, while in Jansbnia the flowers are
perfectly sessile.and arranged in a verticillate manner round a common axis, which is slightly prolonged beyond
the point from whence the flowers spring in the form of a short mucrone. The culture recommended for Bruchysema
'p. 342.) will answer for Jansbnia also.

Ctesalpmta, p. 350. No. 979. The wood of Coulthia tinctbria is used in dyeing.
3011. Turra:ya. A mixture of loam, peat, and sand will suit the species : and ripened cuttings will grow in the
usual way. Their culture is the same as for any ordinary hothouse plant.
3012. Munrbniajap6mca is , a small bush with pinnate leaves. It thrives with the culture and treatment of any
ordinary stove shrub. All of the plants belonging to the same natural order are trees of considerable size.
3013. Cupdnia Cunninghdmi is a large timber tree, with ample pinnate leaves. A light loamy soil suits it best,
and ripened cuttings will strike root, planted in the usual way.
3014. Acradenia is a genus nearly allied to Ziiria, both in habit and character. It is a pretty shrub, with snowy
white conspicuous flowers and trifoliate leaves. A compost of sand, loam, and peat will suit it, and cuttings will
strike root if treated hi the ordinary way. In fact, the culture of Ziiria will answer for Acradenia
3015. DiploUesna. A pretty, as well as singular, greenhouse plant, with drooping heads of flowers. A compost of
loam, peat, and sand suits it well, and it is propagated by cuttings.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
the /J. campanuldlum, and the great elegance and delicacy of the H. campylocarpui/., excite the more admiration from
their being found in the region of fog and rain. It has been insisted that many of '.he so-called species are of hybrid
origin ; hut this is by no means clear, nor can it be ascertained. Some species arn parasitical on trees, but these have
been found growing even in clayey soil. They will readily grow in vegetable mould.
Rhododendron ciliatum has passed the winter in the open air, surrounded by a bank of earth 11, foot high; but it
flowered in the cool part of a greenhouse.
R. javanicum is one of the most beautiful plants yet introduced; but it requires the protection of a greenhouse.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
3021. Lt/bnia. The hardy kinds of this genus are best grown in a peat border, along with other American plants.
They are increased by layers put down in spring. The tenderer kinds, as the. jamaicensis, require to be protected from
frost in winter. They are all ornamental, and therefore desirable evergreen shrubs.
3022. Agarista is a splendid genus of tender shrubs. They grow best in a warm part of a greenhouse, in a mixture
of loam, peat, and sand ; and cuttings of ripened wood will strike root under a hand-glass in the same kind of mould .
3023. Gaylussacia Pseitdo- I'accinium is a very handsome, hardy, greenhouse shrub, with racemes of scarlet (lowers.
It should be grown in a compost of sand, loam, and leaf mould, and treated in the same way as Cape Heaths. It is
propagated by layers as well as by ripened cuttings.
30'J4. Macleahia. The species require a warm greenhouse, and are splendid shrubs while in blossom. A mixture ol
sand, loam, and peat will suit them. Owing to their producing large fleshy roots, a large pot or tub will be required ;

or probablv they will succeed well planted out in a conservatory border. Water should be freely given In summer.
To have the plant furnished well with young shoots, it will be necessary to cut it back early in autumn, in order to
have the plant clothed with leaves before winter. They are difficult to multiply, but may be managed by cuttings
19247. Uaultheria bractrdta should be grown in a light peat soil, and placed in a cool airy pit or frame, and in
summer it should not be exposed too much to the sun.

The pots should be well drained by sherds.
3032. Plerdma. The plants of this genus are similar to the Lasidndra, and their culture is the same.
30:i3. Bcrtulbnia maeulata is a pretty little creeping plant. It grows best in light soil, and is readily increased
by cuttings. Abundance of water should be given during summer, or while the plant is growing.
3034. Tetraxpgio. The culture recommended for Lasidndra will suit this shrub equally well.
3035. Olinia. These are greenhouse shrubs. They grow best in light rich soil, and cuttings root planted in
the ordinary way under a bell or hand glass.
3036. Erincnema. These pretty plants are probably only annual. The leaves of E.marnioidtum are green above
and beautifully marked with brown stains and broken streaks of white, and on the under side rich puiple. The
blossoms are of a rich rose colour. The leaves of E. a?*?teum are greenish brown, almost black ami shining with quite
a metallic lustre. These two plants are very delicate. They are grown in peat, but require to be kept continually
shaded and damp. The treatment of the tropical Orchidca:, such as Anccctocbilus, would suit them.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
3037. J'erticdrdia is a genus of pretty little plants rather difficult to cultivate. A mixture of sand, loam, and peat
or vegetable earth, will suit them best. Cuttings will probably root if planted in silver sand with a bell glass
over them.
3038. Acrophyllum only requires the treatment of an ordinary greenhouse shrub. A compost of sand, loam, and
peat suits it best. It is a pretty plant when in blossom.
3039. Cbdia is a remarkable plant, lately introduced, in a living state, to this country. It requires the same
culture as Acrophyllum or CaUicoma.

3040. Rhodoleia is a very pretty small tree or large shrub, resembling Camellia japonica both in leaves and heads
of flowers. The culture and propagation recommended for Camellia will also suit this plant.
3041. Hoteiu is nearly allied to Astilbe, differing principally in the presence of petals. It is an elegant plant, of
3042. Tunica is a genus of pretty little plants, well suited for decorating rockwork. They may be increased by
division but better by seed. The genus is separated from the old genus Gypsophila.

largest and most remarkable of the Cdctus family. In its native country it bears the name of Visjiaea. which sign
a toothpick among the Mexican settlers, who use the spines for that purpose. The original plant, sent to the Ro,.,,
Botanic Garden at Kew, was nine feet high, and nine and a half in circumference, and it weighed a ton. After a vear
of apparent health it exhibited symptoms of internal decay, the inside became a putrid mass, and the crust, or shell,
fell m by its own weight. Other lesser ones are, however, in the collection at Kew. All the plants were procured
with great trouble, by Fred. Staines, Esq. The ovarium is elongated and densely woolly, and furnished with soft
prickles or scales at top, and the petals are serrated.

3048. Echin6psis comes very near to Echinocdctus, and the treatment and cultivation of the species are similar to
that required by those plants.
3049. Leuchtenbirgia is a singular Cactean plant. Few persons, viewing It destitute of flowers, would imagine it
to belong to Cadets : the mammilla? have rather the appearance of leaves of some aloid plant; while the stem, appearing
as if formed of the persistent bases of old leaves, resembles that of some Cycadeou* plant. The blossoms differ in no
particular from those of Chreus. The propagation and cultivation are the same as those for C&reus, but it requires
more moisture, being a less succulent plant.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
3050. Lepismium is a genus composed of very singular plants in habit. They require the same treatment as the
species of Cereus.
3051. BUlbtia. The species are pretty shrubs when in blossom, and are well suited for conservatory plants. A
compost of loam, peat, and sand is the best soil for them. Cuttings taken from young wood root readily if planted in
sand with a bell-glass over them.
3052. Babingtbnia Camphor6sma: is a greenhouse shrub, graceful in its habit, and not difficult to cultivate. It
grows best in a rich brown peat and leaf-mould, and flowers freely during the summer months from the ends of
pendent branches. Cuttings of young wood will strike root if treated in the usual way.
3053. Lhotskya is a genus of pretty heath-like plants. They are rather difficult to cultivate. A compost of light
loam, sand, and peat suits them best '; and young cuttings will strike root if planted in sand, placing a bell-glass over
them.

3054. BackhoCsia myrtifblia is a large shrub of an elegant habit well fitted for a conservatory plant. Cuttings of
young wood will strike root in sand by the ordinary method.
3055. Hypocalymma is composed of pretty greenhouse shrub-. The leaves smell of lemon when bruised. The
plants should be potted in a compost of loam and heath-mould, with a small portion of silver sand. The p<>ts must
invariably be well drained, and water should be freely given during summer. They may be propagated by young cuttings.
1117. Metrosiriiros robista is said by Mr. Allan Cunningham to be the Halu of the New Zealanders, and is a noble
tree, usually attaining the height of 80 or 100 feet. The wood is hard, close-grained, and very durable ; and hence
admirably adapted for ship timbers, and in the construction of agricultural implements. The leaves have a rich
aromatic odour. The plant flowers in our greenhouses at the height of 3 or 4 feet, ilctrosidiros tomentdia grows
best in a rich vegetable soil, but is not hardy enough to stand our winters in the open air. Metrosidiros buxtfoha
climbs like ivy in its native country.

Histortf, Use, Propagation, Culture,
3056. Angdphora is a genus of beautiful broad-leaved shrubs or trees with large terminal flowers. They answer
well as conservatory plants. A mixture of sand, loam, and peat is the best soil for them. Cuttings of them are
difficult to strike. These should be taken from ripened wood, and planted in sand, placing a bell-glass over them.
3357. CallisteTnon. All the species are worth cultivating in every collection of greenhouse plants, for the neatness
of their foliage and the beauty of their blossoms. They are well adapted for conservatory plants. Ripened cuttings
strike root in the ordinary way, under a hand-glass. They may also be raised from seed, which is frequently produced
in this country. Plants reared from cuttings taken from flowering plants come into flower when of a small size;
but those raised from seed do not flower till they become large plants.
19439. Eugenia ternifblia is a fine 6tately species. It grows to a large tree. There are two varieties ; one with
white flowers, and the other with beautiful rose-coloured flowers. The fruit is edible. The leaves are very large;
in fact, the largest of all the species. . ^ . .
19440. Eugenia brasiliensis, the fruit of which is brought to the markets in Brazil under the name of urumi-
chama, has the young leaves above the flowers purplish-brown. Eugenia U'gni is the Murtilla of Feuillee, Obs. 3.

the Spaniards Murttlla or My rhlla. The petals are orbicular, very concave and forming, as it were, a elobose co-
rolla white tinged with red. °
19444. Myrtusorbiculdta is called Medlar-wood m Madagascar. It requires considerable heat and a moist atmo-
sF"e- A compost of sand, peat, and loam suits it well. The pot in which it is grown should be well drained.
Cuttings from ripened wood strike root under a hand-glass in a moist heat.
19447. Eucalyptus calophylla has the leaves 4—6 inches long, pale green with a rich red marginal line, within
which runs a faint intra-margir.al vein. The veins are simple and pinnate ; and the whole appearance of the foliage
js that of a Caluphyllum. 1 he flowers are large and white.
19450. Eucalyptus cocci/era has been cultivated in the gardens for many years, so that it is now more than 20 feet

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
3058. Cerasus iliofblia is a small evergreen bush, first found by Nuttall, then by Coulter, and lastly by Hartweg,
who reports the fruit to resemble a small cherry. The leaves are like thoseof the holly, and the flowers like those of
the bird-cherry. The species of Prunus from 7026. to 7043. belong to the genus Cerasus.
19461. Crataegus Celsidna. This species is perfectly distinct Irom C. tanacetijblia and C. orienldlis. The tree is
more robust ; the leaves are larger and more deeply cut ; the habit is also more fastigiate. The fruit is larger, and
the tree flowers much later in the season. It was first noticed by Dumont de Courset.
3059. Lindley a mespiloides is a small tree with the habit of Mespilus grandiflbra, and with flowers as sweet-scented
as the hawthorn, and it mav be propagated by grafting on it. It requires protection in severe weather.

3060. Neillia will, perhaps, prove quite hardy shrubs. They will grow in ordinary soil, and will strike root from
cuttings planted in autumn. They will prove a good addition to our shrubberies.
3061. Adendstoma is a hardy small evergreen heath-like bush, with small white flowers. The leaves are in fascicles
in the axils of the primordial ones, which fall off early, and leave a pair of spine-pointed stipules behind. Their cul-
ture is the same as that for Spiraea.
Adenostoma fasciculdlum is a pretty little shrub with the habit of Spiraea, will grow well in common soil, and is
increased by cuttings.
3062. Nagelia is nearly related to Cotoneuster, and requires the same culture.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
19499. Mecondpsis Wallichii is a pretty blue-flowered poppy from the Sikkim Himalayas. The flowers are large,
and droop ; they are disposed in long leafy racemes. The plant was grown in pots in a frame, but will, perhaps,
succeed well in the open border.
19500. Sarracenia Drummdndi. The stove is said to be the most suitable place for this plant at a temperature of
80° to 100°, among Orchidete and Epiphytes, at least at that time when they are making and maturing their growth,
at which time they require much warmth and moisture. The other species would require the same treatment. They
are all inhabitants of the swamps of a region which during the summer experiences a tropical heat.
19501. Nymph^a elegans will probably grow and flower in the open air. The flowers are very sweet-scented.
It comes near to Nymphx^a ampin.
m 19503. N. dentdta is very common in ponds in every pact of Guinea, along with Pistia Stratibtes. The root of N.
ampla 's composed of round tubers. The leaves of N. gigantea are 2 feet across, and the root is composed of tubers.
N. Devoniensis appears to be only a strong seedling plan- of N. rubra, and is not a hybrid.
3064. Victbria rigia. This splendid water-lily has been found in the rivers Amazon, De la Plata, Berbice, and
in the river Yaeuma, a tributary of the river Marmora, in Bolivia, and probably in many other lakes and rivers in
South America. The plant flowered first at Chatsworth, the seat of the Duke of Devonshire, under the care of Sir
Joseph Paxton ; at Sion House, under the care of Mr. Iveson ; and at the Bot.inical Gardens, Regent's Park, and at
K«>w; and in the open air at Mr. Weed's Nursery, King's Road. Chelsea. The whnle plant Is prickly, except the

grows on the hills at Sierra Leone, and is one of the most showy plants there ; it flowers so profusely. S. pubescent
grows in the lowlands by the sides of rivulets in thickets, and is not so showy a plant as S. lsvigata. A mixture of
loam, peat, and sand will suit them, and cuttings will strike root in the usual way. They require plenty of heat and
moisture when growing.
19552. Ilticium religtbsttm is the celebrated Anise tree. There seem to be two kinds of Anise tree : the /. anisa-
tum of Loureiro, the Chinese kind ; and /. religibsum Sieboldt, the /. anisatum of Thunbsrg, the Japanese kind.
By the Japanese this plant is held sacred. They strew wreaths of it and branches over the tombs ot their friends ;
and their priests burn the bark as a perfume upon the altars of their deities. A singular use is made of the pulverised

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
3080. CedronUla catna. The leaves of this plant, and of C. mexicana and C. pallida, abound in fragrant oil.duts.
They are handsome border plants, and will grow in any common garden soil ; and are increased by division or by
cuttings taken from the lower part of the steins.
3081. Hemidndra is composed of shrubs nearly related to Westrineia ; and the culture and propagation are the
same. Turfy peat and leaf -mould with loam is said to be the best for them.
19628. Scutellaria japonica is a small evergreen trailing shrubby plant, well fitted for decorating rockwork. It is
a pretty little plant with blue spotted flowers

and Miscellaneous Particulars
3084. Collandra is a genus separated from Gesnera by Lemaire, and'eonsists at present of several known species,
which are all readily distinguished by the inequality of each pair of leaves, one of which is always much smaller than
the other, like those of Gold/dssia anisophylla. Most of the species have also, at the points of the leaves, a large blood-
coloured spot, for which reason they are called IV* ba de la Doncella. Their culture is the same as that recommended
for Gesnera.
3085. Alloplectus. The species grow best on loose peat soil or decayed vegetable mould.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
3086. Macrdchlamys includes the species of Alloplectus wilh coriaceous glabrous leaves, and the calyx surrounded
by petaloid bracts, hence the name. Their culture is the same as that for Alloplectus.
3087. Hypocyrta gracilis has the loaves spotted with red beneath, and its culture is the same as that for
epiphytal Orchidetc. It may be allowed to grow over an elevated substance, covered with sods, kept moist or in
baskets.
3088. Episcia. The culture and treatment recommended for Dry mbnia will answer for this plant.
3f'89. Dry mbnia punctata has the limb of its corolla dotted with purple. The plant does well cultivated in a wire
basket, filled with pieces of wood and turf, suspended from a beam in a moist stove. The other species may be treated
in the same manner.
3090. Nematdnthus ionema has red drooping flowers. It may be either grown in a pot of turfy peat soil, or in a
basket suspended from the rafters, as many epiphytal tropical Orchidete are.
3091 . Campdnia grandiflbra. A beautiful herbaceous plant, requiring to be grown m a temperate stove. The stem
Is scandent, woody at the base. The leaves are opposite, oval, stalked, hairy, unequal at base, taper-pointed, and
crenate-toothed. The flowers are axillary, on long peduncles at sides of shoots, terminal few on long peduncles,
large, showy, nodding, irregularly campanulate ; the tube curved and ventricose beneath ; the border or limb oblique,
with 5 broad, nearly equal, emarginate, spreading lobes, white, downy outside, elegantly marked with close dotterl
linos of rosy purple.

ami MisctUaneous Particulars.
3092. Conrddia requires the culture and treatment of Gisnera.
3093. Mitrdria coccinea will perhaps succeed m the open air. A compost of leaf mould, loam, and peat is the best
3094. Arctdcalyx Endlicheriana is a remarkable looking epiphytal shrubby plant, shaggy all over. Stems radicant,
usually simple ; corolla 2 inches beyond the calyx, yellow. It requires a cool humid stove or orchideous house, and is
readily propagated by cuttings of the stem.
3095. Centrosolenia picta has the leaves blotched and mottled. The corollas are large and white. It is a creeping
plant, and grows well in places suitable for tropical epiphytal Orchideee. Light peat soil or leaf mould suits the spedes
best. The other species require the same treatment.
3096. Heintzia tigrina is a robust soft-stemmed soft-leaved snbshrub, 3—4 feet high. The leaves are a foot long,
green, with a bluish tinge. The calyx is large and rose-coloured, also the bracts. The corolla is white, an inch long;
the segments studded on the face with soft hairs, which produce a silky and spotted with pnrple gloss. It is a coarse-
looking plant, the flowers hid by the leaves. It flowered for the first time in this country at Messrs. Ilendersor's
nursery, near London, in 1849.
3097.' Muutsdnia elegans is a pretty shrub, and requires a temperate stove. The stem and leaves are scft and
haiiy, and more or h-a* tinged with red. The corolla is scarlet, about half an inch long ; the segments yellowish in-
side, with lines of purple spots ; the throat yellow. The plant U of the most easy culture and propagation.

specie* of Bigndnia, from which it has been separated. A. nitidum is said to be a shy flowerer, and has been found
to grow best in a larg ■ tub, in a mixture half light loam, a quarter peat, and a quarter leaf mould.
3101. Cblea floribiinda is a noble plant, with a perfectly simple stem, furnished with large pinnate leaves at the top
only, and bearing flowers of a bright yellow ochre on the old wood, from just above the place whence the leaves bad
fallen the previous year. The culture and treatment are the same as for the upright hothouse species of Hignbnia.
3102. Phyllarlhron Bojerianum is a beautiful and singular plant. The leaves or broad petioles are curious, being
composed of two joints. The plants require the same treatment as the upright hothouse kinds of Bisndnia.
19722. PenUtemon cordifblius has little the appearance of the genus in habit, but being a trailing shrubby plant it
is well-fitted for decorating rockwork. The flowers are of a rich dull red or scarlet.
19725. The Pentstemon gentianoides figured in Bot. reg. and Bot. mag. with long narrow scarlet flowers should be
called S. Hartwegii, according to Paxt. Fl. gard. ; but why, we are not told.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
3103. Tetranima meiicdna is a pretty little plant, blossoming profusely. It is easy ol cultivation, and is propa-
gated readily by division and seed. A light rich soil suits it best.
19730. Martynia frdgrans is a half-hardy annual. The flowers are large, of a beautiful purple, and verv fragrant.
The culture and treatment are the same as for Balsam.
3!04. Dilivdria ilicifblia is a pretty holly-leaved plant. It can only be propagated by seed.
3105. As'eracuntha requires the same culture and treatment as recommended for Barleria.
3106. Stemonocunthus. The same treatment and culture as recommended for the species of Buellia will suit this
plant.

and Miscellaneous Particulars.
3109. StrobiUrachis glabra is very nearly related to Aphclandra, and should be cultivated and treated like it.
3110. Whitfieldia laterilia is a beautiful shrub, having the branches terminated by racemes of flowers, of rather a
large sire. The calyx and corolla, and often the large bracts, are of one uniform brick-red colour. The plant requires
plenty of heat and moisture while growing ; and cuttings strike root readily.
3111. Petalidium barlerioides is a very pretty shrub, with much the habit of Bar/eria, from which it has been
separated. It is of the most easy culture, and a free flowerer. Loam and peat, with a little rotten dung mixed with
it, is found to be the best soil for it. Cuttings from young wood strike freely in the same kind of soil.
31 12. Dipteracdnthus should be cultivated and propagated like Petalidium.
3113. Asystdsia is a genus of very pretty plants, of easy culture. They require a hot moist atmosphere. A com-
post of peat and loam, with the addition of a little leaf mould, suits them best, and cuttines strike root readily.
A. scandens bears clusters of large cream-coloured flowers, tinged with blush, and is well-fitted for training on trellis-
work.

3114. Hydromestis maculitus. The same culture and prop, as Aphelandra. Readily increased by cuttings or seed
3115. Hexacintris mysorensts. Among all the plants exhibited in 1852, none excited such universal interest as this
plant. It formed a small umbrella-like creeper, trained over trellis, the whole circumference of which was loaded
with pendulous racemes of the most beautiful large yellow and crimson flowers. The culture and propagation of the
species are the same as for Thunbergia.
3116. Meyenia Hawtaynedna is a splendid climber. It should be treated like Thunbergia
3117. Mastacanthus sinensis is an autumn-flowering plant, and furnishes rich violetT>lossoms at a late time of
year. It grows freely in sandy loam and peat, and requires plenty of room for its roots, and plenty of water when

3120. Plerodiscus specibsus is a splendid plant belonging to the Pedalinece. The root is tuberous, large, and solitary
quite globose, (he upper part elevated above the earth, and produces from its summit a stem which soon divides into
several erect succulent branches bearing opposite leaves and large handsome reddish purple flowers.
2679. Torenia. All the species here mentioned are very similar in habit, and are very pretty plants • now
very generally cultivated in our hothouses and orchideous houses. They are trailing plants, grow in baskets like
Mschynanthus, and may be trained in any way. They grow readily in any loose soil, and are readily increased by
cuttings or division. Moist atmosphere is necessary. T.asidtica is a most elegant plant, and is spread all over India.
The flowers are splendid, of a bluish purple velvety colour, with three darker purple blotches on a pale ground.
19797. Browdllia Jamesbnii is a showy shrubby plant four to six feet high, bearing corymbose cymes of yellow
flowers. It thrives best in a warm part of a greenhouse. Light loam, sand, and peat, has been found to suit it well.
In summer it will do in the open air, planted against a wall, or in a sheltered situation. Cuttings strike freely.

3121. Achimenes. The species are increased by the scaly caterpillar-like tubers, which are produced in quantities.
A compost of loam, peat, and sand, in equal proportions, is found to suit them best. In the autumn, when the plants
have done flowering, and the stems become dead, the tnbers may be kept in the soil till spring, giving no water, in
the same way as recommended for bulbs. But in spring, when they begin to grow, they should be repotted In fresh
mould. When growing they require plenty of water. Four to six tubers in a pot will be sufficient. The p'ants are
very elegant, and have become great favourites. They are best grown in a close frame or pit, and when they are in
flower may be removed and placed where they will be seen to the best advantage, In a stove, or conservatory, or
greenhouse. Heat and moisture seem to be requisite to their growth. By planting in January, February, and March .
plants may be had in blossom most of the year.
Trevirana pulchella. No. 8893. in the body of the work, is the original species of Achimenes, and is as ueautilui i
plant as any of the more recently introduced species.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
3122. Niphceya. The species form bulbs or tubers like Achimenes, by which they are propagated. Their culture
and treatment should be the same as recommended for the species of that genus, to which it is very nearly related.
3123. Diastema ochroleuca .is a pretty plant nearly related to Achimenes, and is propagated by the tubers in the
same way. Its cultivation is in every respect the same as that recommended for the species of that genus.
3124. Chirita sininsis has the habit of a stemless Gloxinia or Streptocdrpus. The plant succeeds best in a moist
stove, shaded while the sun is hot. By having plants in different temperatures flowers may be kept up for many
months. All the species are cultivated in the same way as Gloxinia. Chirita Moonii is a splendid suffruticose plant
with large bluish-purple flowers like those of Gloxinia. They strike readily from cuttings, and are of the most easy
culture.
3125. Didumocarpus crtnita is a pretty plant, bearing white flowers with a yellow lip. A mixture of light loam

The flowers
are of a bright scarlet colour. The stems are creeping and throw out roots at the joints. It requires the same treat-
ment as the species of JEschyndnthus, and should be potted in turfy peat mixed with a portion of loam and sand.
Good drainage is necessary : for this purpose the pots should be half-filled with potsherds, and a few stones should be
mixed among the soil.
19848. Collinsia multicolor is a very pretty tall annual plant. It comes near to C. bicolor. The floral leaves are
purple. The middle lobe of lower lip is crimson, but the rest of the lower lip is lilac ; and so is the upper lip, except
that there is a broad white spot in its middle relieved by numerous blood-coloured dots. The plant has a good effect
when grown in large patches or beds.
3129. Chtenostoma consists of a great number of known species, and is separated from the old genus Maniilea.
They require the treatment of Verbena, and are like them well-suited for bedding out in the same way. Iu order to

have a sufficient number of plants for that purpose cuttings should be struck In autumn, kept in any part of a
frame or greenhouse during winter, and turned out in the summer.
3130. Paulbwnia impenalis is very similar in habit to Catalpa syringa>fblia, but is not so hardy, for the young shoots
are generally killed by the frost in winter, and consequently it does not often flower in the open ground in this country.
It has, however, flowered at Paris frequently. The flower has the different shades from blue to purplish lilac. It may
)e propagated by pieces of the root. It is altogether a splendid tree both in flowers and foliage.
3131. Lindcnbirgia urticifblia is a plant of easy culture ; and it readily produces seeds, by which it is propagated.
1985G. Franciscea calyc'ina is a fine shrub wheu in flower. The flowers are at first blue, but decay to white.
Loam and peat, and a portion of sand, is found to be the best soil for it. The production of fine heads of flowers
depends upon its vigorous growth, therefore the plants must be placed in bottom heat, and shifted from size to size
of pots as i hey become filled with roots. The other species require the same treatment.

3132. Ionopsidium acaule is a pretty little annual, will grow in any rich damp soil, or on the shady side of rock-
work. It makes a neat edging to borders in shady places. The flowers are at first white, but turning to lilac It
may be propagated eitht-r by seeds or by runners, which it throws out in damp soil.
3133. GraPUsia saxifragtfbtia has much of the habit of Saxtfraga granuldta, and the flowers are much like those
of A'raiis alpina. It does well with the treatment of ordinary alpine plants. It is a pretty little alpine plant smelling

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
3137. Phalocallis pl&mbea has much the habit of Mdrica Northidna, and the colouring of the flowers is almost
the same. The plant will grow in rich light soil. It requires a good deal of moisture when growing : in fact, it may
be (ultivated exactly like Mdrica.
31 i8. Disemma. The species of this genus require the same treatment as thoseyjf Passiflbra.
3139. Tacsbnia. The species are truly handsome climbing plants, deserving a place in every greenhouse and con-
servatory. They are readily increased by cuttings, require the same treatment as Passiflbra, and might prove hardy
in wijrm sheltered situations. Loam, peat, with decayed leaves, and a little sharp sand, is said to suit them best.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
3142. Wallsilra. The TV. robiista is a large timber tree ; and the bark of W. piscdia thrown into fishponds soon
causes the fish to float upon the surface of the water, as is the case with Indian berries (Cocculus indicus), rendering
the fish easily caught ; and the fish so caught is said to be not the less wholesome. The trees are cultivated and
propagated in the same manner as ordinary stove plants.
3143. Cheirostemon plalano,des is a noble tree, growing 15 feet in diameter, and 100 feet and more in height It
succeeds well in turfy loam and peat, or any light rich soil. Half-ripened cuttings will strike root under a hand-glass,
but the leaves should not be shortened. It is generally called the hand-plant.
3144. Napolebna imperidlis. This shrub has excited more than ordinary interest, arising partly from the circum-
stance under which it was first discovered, and partly from its name, given in honour of one of the most remarkal.'.e
men that ever lived, and still more from the singular structure of the flowers as exhibited by Baron Palisot de
Okdeb V.

Cueurbitacea? and Passiflbreai. In 1843, Mr. Whitfield, a celebrated collector of objects of natural history, returned
from one of his many voyages to Sierra Leone, and brought with him living and dried specimens of the plant. In
1848 one of the living plants brought home by Mr. Whitfield flowered in one of the hothouses at Sion House, the
seat of the Duke of Northumberland.
3145. Attiria is rather a handsome tree, with pink flowers. It is nearly related to liuixia, and requires the same
culture and treatment.

3147. Calli'bidra. Pretty shrubs, with the habit of Vnga, requiring the same culture and treatment.
19922. Mdlva campanulala should be kept in a cold frame in winter, and planted out into beds in summer, where it
will make a fine show.
3148. Lopimia malacophjjlla. This is a pretty plant when in blossom, at which time it has much the appearance
of Chirbniajrutiscens. A mixture of loam, peat, and sand is a good soil for it ; and half-ripened cuttings will root
freely, pianted in sand under a hand-glass in bottom heat. The best way of increasing it is by seed, if procurable.

3155. Brongnidrlia sericea is a pretty shrub, and will thrive in any rich light soil ; and young cutungs will roo' if
planted in sand under a bell-glass.
3156. Cajdnus is generally propagated by seed received from the tropics, where they are used in the samj
manner as we do common peas, and esteemed a wholesome pulse, which some prefer to common peas. In Jamaica
they are chiefly used for feeding pigeons.

20030. Cytisus Weidenii is now a common shrub in our gardens and pleasure-grounds. It has leaves as large as
those of LaMrnum, but the racemes of flowers are erect.
3163. CalycStome spinbsa is a pretty shrub, and will be hardy in mild winters. It grows in any light rich toil, in
an airy situation. It may be propagated by layers, but best by seed.
3164. Onobrychis requires the same treatment as the species of Hedpsarum.
3165. Oxurdmphis macrSstyla is a pretty greenhouse shrub, and is said to grow freely in a mixture of sandy
Joam and peat. It loses its leaves in winter. The flowers are hall crimson and half rose-coloured, disposed in

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
20073. Symplocusjaponica is much used by the Japanese for decorating the shrines of their idols. It is known in
Japan by the name ol luroggi. When Thunberg first discovered the tree he took it fora myrtle, and Fortune for a
holly.
2i 075. Citrus japonica is called Kum-qual by the Chinese ; and the Kum-quat groves of the Island of Chusan are
formed on the sides ot hills in those situations where the tea plant (Thia viridis) flourishes, and attain the height of
6 feet. The fruit ripens late in autumn, being then about the size of a gooseberry, of an oval form, having a sweet
rind and a sharp acid pulp. It is largely used by the Chinese as a preserve, and very frequently finds its way to Eng-
land as presents to those who have friends in China. Preserved in sugar according to the Chinese method, it is said

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
3185. Mach<er anther a tanacetifblia is a pretty half-shrubby plant with ascending stems and purple flowers rescm.
bling those of some species of A'ster. It will flourish in the open air during summer. It may either be increased by
cuttings or by seed ; the latter method is the best, as the plant is said to be a biennial.
31 86. Espaletia argentea is a pretty plant when in blossom. A light sandy peat soil suits it best. It should be kept
in an airy part of a greenhouse.
3187. Swammerdamia requires the treatment and culture of any ordinary greenhouse plant.
3188. Schceynia opposilifblia comes very near to Hclichrysum, is equal in beauty to Rhodanlhe Manglesii, and
should be treated in the same manner. The ray and scales of involucrum are rose colour, and the centre yellow.
3189. Burrielia gracilis is nearly allied to Lasthenia, but is readily distinguished from it by the different structure
of the involucrum. The present plant is often cultivated in our gardens under the name of Lasthenia califdrnica.

and Miscellaneous Particulars.
3190. Cailichrba plaiyglossa is nearly allied to Burriilia and Lasthinia, and requires the same treatment.
3191. Myridctis Gmrfini will require protection in severe weather. It should be treated like any ordinary
herbaceous perennial.. Vegetable mould suits it best.
3192. Hymenbzys califdrnica is nearly allied to Burriilia and Callichroa, and is treated in a similar manner.
3193! Gyndxys Jrhgrans. A pretty climbing plant with a tuberous root and very fragrant yellowish flowers. It is
of easy culture and may be increased by cuttings.
3194. Brachycome iberidijblium is a most beautiful plant, the flowers exhibiting a variety of colours, as white, lilac,
and dark purple. It flowers freely in the open border, and it has a very fine effect when grown in pots.
3195. Echindcea. The species prefer a peat soil, otherwise they require the same treatment as ordinary perennial
plants. 4 Z 4

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
20225. Cirrhopelalum auratum. This is the most interesting species of the genus. It hangs down from the branch
of a tree or a piece of wood, which it soon overruns with its delicate green roots and egg-shaped furrowed pseudo-bulbs .
The leaves are deep green above, and stained with purple beneath. The flower stems or scapes are slender and thread-
like, and bear at top an umbel nf flowers, which hang down gracefully and are balanced in the air. The flowers have
a yellowish ground, striped and mottled with crimson.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
3218. Prominie^a. A genus of pseudo-bulbous epiphytes separated from Maxilldria, with 1— 2-leaved bulbs and 1 —
2- flowered-scapes and showy yellow flowers, often spotted or streaked with purple.
3219. Scuticdria Steelii is an old inhabitant of our stoves. It has an articulated branched bulbless rhizoma, fan-
shaped leaves, and large yellow flowers spotted with purple.
3220. Paphinia cristata is a pseudo.bulbous epiphyte with few-flowered pendulous scapes and very pretty flowers,
white outside and faced with purple inside, and the petals are altogether purple.
3221. Lycaste is a genus separated from the old Maxilldria, and consists of pseudo-bulbous epiphytes with plicate
leaves, and erect, radical, one-flowered scapes. The flowers of all are showy, and propped by a large spathe-like bract.

History. Use, Propagation, Culture,
3233. Clowesia is like Cataselum in habit, and requires the same culture and treatment.
2789. Angulba is a genus of splendid epiphytes which will grow in a compost of peat and rotten wood, in baskets
or pots, and they may be tied on blocks of wood.
2790. Peristeria is a splendid genus of pseudo-bulbous epiphytes. They grow well in a mixture of turfy peat and
rotten wood. They require plenty of pot-room, heat, and water.
3234. Lacuna is a pretty pseudo-bulbous epiph\te, and it may be grown in a basket, or tied to a block of wood
and suspended to a rafter in a moist stove. It requires an ample supply of water and heat.

3235. Odonloglossum is composed of pseudo-bulbous epiphytes, and forms three different sections or forms. In
one the anther bed is surrounded by a deep fringe or membranous border. The other two are without any fringe;
these form the subgenus Tryminium. In the second the lip is white, and generally broad and flat. In the third
the lip is generally yellow, never white, and generally narrow. They will all grow among free turfy peat or rotten
wood, or they may be tied to blocks of wood.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
20888. Betula Bhojpattra. The epidermis of this tree is used hy the mountaineers in the Himalaya instead of paper
for writing upon. It is of a very delicate texture, and peels off in large masses, of which great quantities are brought
down into the plains of Hindostan, where it is employed for covering the inside of the long flexible tubes of the hooka
used for smoking. The Sanscrit name of the substance is Bhoorja, the Bengalee name is Bhoorjapattra, and the
Hindostani name is Bhojpattra.
3250. Fi»-tiin<e\i chinensis. A hardy tree, of as easy culture as the walnut.
3251. Holbbllia. The natives of Nepal eat the fruit, the pulp of which has a sweetish, but otherwise insipid, taste.
The species flower very well trained against a wall, without any other protection.
3252. Akebia quinata is a very pretty climber while in blossom. In China it grows in hedges, and there it climbs
on other trees, and hangs do«n in graceful festoons from the ends of their branches. The colour of the flower Is
dark brown, and it is very sweet-scented. It succeeds very well trained against a wall or trellis, and is perfectly hardy.

History, Use, Propagation, Culture,
3266. Ambrosinia Bassii has a tuberous- branched rhizomatose root and cordate-elliptic entire leaves, and the scapes
rise from among the petioles. The culture is the same as for the tropical species of Ayrum.
3267. Arisatma is composed of tuberous-rooted plants like those of A"rum, and should be treated like the tropical
species of that genus.
3268. Cryptocoryne. Marsh plants with tuberous stoloniferous roots. The leaves are entire, petiolate, and
feather-nerved; the inflorescence solitary and nearly sessile at the base of the petioles, or on a more or less
manifest scape. 1 he flowers are sweet-scented. The culture of the species is the same as that of the tropical species
of Axrum.
3269. Peltandra virginica has rhizomatose tuberous roots and sagittate nerved leaves. The scapes are solitary
and elongated, and rise from the sheath of the petioles. The culture is the same as for the other hardy species of
A^rum.

History, Vic, Propagation, Culture,
3293. Desmdncus is a genus of Brazilian palms, with reed-like flexuous stems and sometimes scandent, all of them
supported by other plants. They are all furnished with large straight or hooked prickles. The fronds are scattered
distantly on all parts of the stem or caudex, and they are remotely pinnate. The petioles are furnished with long
sheaths, and are extended into strong tendrils with recurved hooks by which they hold by other plants. Flowers
cream-coloured. Drupes red.
3294. Juba;ya. Tall palm trees, with thick stems, beset with the scale-like rudiments of the petioles. The
spadix is branched. J. spectdbilis is called Coguito in Chili, and is cultivated in gardens about Popayan for the sake
of the nuts, which are edible.
3295. Attalea is composed of tall or middle-sized palm trees, which are often prickly. The fronds are large and
pinnate, and very neat. The spadixes rise from the bases of the fronds, and are simply branched, but in the fruit-
bearing state they are large, and droop from the weight of the fruit. The flowers are cream-coloured, the fruit is
brown, and the nuts are edible.

3296. Manictiria is a middle-sized palm tree. The fronds are 15 — 20 feet long on unarmed petioles, which are beset
with short brown hairs. The spadix is 2— 3 feet long. The flowers have a very strong narcotic smell. The spathe
is 3 — 4 feet long, fusiform or compressed, tapering to both ends, and terminated by a 2-edged echinate mucro.
3297. Aringa saccharifera. This palm has various uses : the fibres of the petioles are twisted into ropes, the mealy
medulla of the trunk is u^ed for the preparation of sago, and the saccharine juice of the spadix is made into sugar
The berries are full of stings.
3298. Cyclanthus. A stemless plant nearly related to Carluddvica. The leaves are all radical, on Iohr petioles,
and bifid and plicate. The peduncles are radical, and shorter than the petioles. The spathes are entire or 2-lobed and
deciduous. The plants are of easy culture, and require shade and moisture.
3299. Dammara. This genus is the same as A'guthis No. 2011. The species are all broad-leaved coniferous trees
which furnish very valuable timber. They are all of easy culture, and can be increased by cuttings.

21086. Phius Fremontidna, or Nut Pinp. The kernels of the seed are pleasant in flavour and very nutritious, and
they constitute the principal subsistence of the Indians who live in the mountains where the tree grows, for nine
months out of the twelve. The shell of the seed is so thin that it can be broken between the thumb and finger.
21089. AKbies jexoinsis, or Jezo Spruce, is so called because it grows in the islands of Jezo and Krafto in Japan,
whence it has been introduced to the gardens of the wealthy inhabitants of Jedo. Siebold describes it as a large tree,
with a soft light wood, employed by the Japanese for arrows, and in the construction of domestic utensils. The plant
is now introduced into England by Messrs. Standish and Noble. The leaves are of a bright green when young in two
rows ; about 1| inch long and a line and a half broad ; soft when young, but stiff when old, and terminated gradually
by a distinct spine. The branches, when young, are covered with rusty down ; but, when old, become smooth. The
cones are narrow, tapering, rather more than 6 inches long.
21092. Cedrus Deoddra, or Indian Cedar, furnishes an excellent timber, and possesses all the qualities attributed
by the ancients to Cedar of Lebanon. It is very compact and resinous, and has a fine, fragrant, refreshing smell, and

3301. Callitris. A pretty coniferous tree, and may be increased by cuttings or seed.
3302. Phi/lldclndus rhomboiddlii is a native of Van Diemen's Land, where it is called by the colonists Parsley-
leaved, or Adventure Bay, Pine. P. trichomano'ides is a native of New Zealand, and is called Tanekaha by the
natives, who use the wood for building purposes, and the bark for dyeing a red colour.
3303. Widdringfbnia cupressoides. This is a very pretty tree, and is the cypress of South Africa.
3304. Saxegoth&a conspicua is an evergreen tree, about 30 feet high, with the habit of Tdxus. The leaves are
linear and flat, and marked with a pale double line beneath.
3305. Frenela is a genus composed of resinous trees or shrubs. The leaves are ternately verticillate, scale-
formed, adnately decurrent, persistent, and glandless. Being natives of New Holland they require protection, and
may be increased by cuttings.
3306. Filzroya patagdnica is a graceful drooping evergreen tree with the habit of Libocedrus telragbna. When
young, the leaves are spreading and linear ; when old, they become triangular, sessile, and closely imbricated scales.
The female flowers are terminal and stellate cones, remarkable in having the axis terminating in three short clavate
glands or abortive scales. The fruit is of 9 scales, 3 in each whorl ; the middle 3 are alone fertile, and each fertile
«cale has 3 erect seeds surrounded by a broad wing and ending in a narrow neck.

and Miscellaneous Particulars.
3307. Cryplomeria japSnica, or Japan Cedar, is a fine evergreen perfectly hardy tree. Thunberg, who was the
first to make this tree known in Europe, states that it is found, both cultivated and spontaneous, on the mountain- of
Nagasaki and elsewhere. The Japanese call it San, or Sugi ; which, in their language, means evergreen tree. It is
a tall upright tree, with a pyramidal head. The timber is said to be soft, and easily worked ; and is used for various
purposes, particularly for cabinetwork, among the Japanese. According to Siebold, it is a majestic tree, growing
from 60 to 100 feet high. Nothing was known of the living plant, until .Mr. Fortune succeeded in obtaining seed at
Shanghae, in the North of China, where it had probably been introduced from Japan ; and from these seeds the first
plants were raised in Britain.
3308. Libocedrus telrapbna promises to outvie the Araucdria imbriedta, and to be as hardy ; for it comes just
below the snow-lme in the Andes of Patagonia. The leaves are rather broad, and are imbricate in lour
ranks. It is a magnificent evergreen tree. L. chilensis Is a fine evergreen tree, resembling the Chinese Arbor
Vita? ; but is of a less robust habit, and will, probably, prove hardy. L- Dvnidna is a tree frmn 'M to 40 feet high,
and is called Kawa by the New Zealanders. Its trunk is from i to 3 feet in diameter. The wood is beautifully
gra tied and heavy, and would make handsome picture-frames if they were required of a deep colour.

Buriti or Bruti, by the natives of Brazil. These berries are used for many purposes. The caudex yields a large
quantity of palm wine when wounded, which is of a sweetish acid taste, not unlike ginger beer.
21156. Hilmia racemosa is nearly related to Dioscbrea, or Yam. The flowers are small, yellow and purple. The
root is tuberous and fleshy. The plant requires the same treatment as Dioscbrea.
21155- Cosdnium fenestrdtum is in reputeamong the inhabitants of Coiomba, in Ceylon, who slice the wood, whirl]
is yellow and bitter, in thin pieces, and swallow them with the liquid, after steeping them in water several hours. They
commend it as an excellent stomachic. It is the CoJomba wood of commerce.

readily increased by cuttings.
21180. Plectocbmia elongata is a climbing palm, extending to thelength of 500 feet, with pinnate leaves and lateral
spadixes, which are divided into elongated branches. The spathes are coriaceous, and loosely imbricate. The fruit
is chestnut-coloured.
3321 . Encephalarlos is a genus separated from Zdmia, and renuires the same treatment as the species of that genu"
They are principally natives of the Cape of Good Hope. The New Holland species of Zdmia are now called Macro-
zdmia- There is another genus, Dipsacoz&mia mexicdna of Bentham, which does not appear to differ from Zdmia.
21176. D\nn edule. The seeds of this plant are said to be a source of arrow-root in Mexico. This is probably
only a species of Macrozdmia.
3323. Freycinetia is a genus of trees having stems often radicant or scandent. The leaves are imbricate and
narrow, sheathing and stem-clasping at the base, having the margins and back spinulose. The floral leaves are bract-
formed and coloured. The spadix is terminal, sometimes disposed in spikes, and sometimes in fascicles, cylindrical,
or oval-oblong.
3325. Lodoicea. According to Mr. Clark the Lodoicea is completely extirpated in Round Island, and exisfs at
present, in a state of nature, only on the islands of Praslin and Curieuse. The few which are found in the islands of
the Seychelles Archipelago have all been planted, and only two or three of these appear to thrive. The native place
of growth of the Lodoicea was not discovered until 1743 : the nuts were solely known from having been found floating
on the ocean. It was highly prized, and the value of one was estimated at from 60 to 100 crowns. It was considered
to possess great medicinal virtues, and many fabulous accounts have been given of it. The trees which produced the
nut were supposed to form a forest at the bottom of the sea. Water kept in the shell was considered to preserve those
who drank of it from every complaint. The crown or texture of the top of the tree is said to be used like that of the
cabbage palm, Arica olerdcea, but is less delicate, and slightly bitter, and is often preserved in vinegar. Out of the

B*Lodli'cea sevchclla rum is the Sea or Double Cocoa-nut of the Seychelles or Praslin, and is a beautiful palm trie,
growine to the hi igtit of 60 to SO, or even to 100 feet; the trunk is annular ed from the scars of the fallen leaves, about
i foot in diameter, and is equal in thickm ss from top to bottom. The trunk yields to the slightest breeze, ami whan
the wind is moderately strong the hugr leaves are crashed together with an astonishing noise. The part of the trunk
immediately above the surface of the gromid forms an inverted cone, which is terminated below by a hemispherical
base whence spread in all directions a great number of crd-hke roots, penetrating toa considerable distance around.
These roots remain long after the destruction of the plant itself. So firmly are the leaves attached to the trunk,
that a man mav seat himself at the end of one of them with perfect safety. The texture of the leaflets is very strong,
and consist! of" line threads or fibres, dis| osed in three layers ; the direction of the two outer layers is longitudinal, and
tliat of the central layer transverse. Mr. Clark estimatesthat three of the lenves.only one of which is produced each
y.ar occupy 8 inches on the stem, and that consequently a tree of 80 feet in height must be about 400 years old.
According to the same authority, the male and female spadix, instead of rising from the angle of the accompanying
leaf-stalk, passes through a fissure at its base : he also states that, although the tree puts forth only one spadix in a
year ten or more may be seen flowering at the same time ; this is to be explained by the multiplicity of flowers in
each' catkin, which blossom successively. The female trees bear flowers and fruit in all their different states at the
same time. ' As many as seven will-formed drupes are sometimes produced on a single spadix, and 7 or 8 years are
required for the fulfmaturing of the nut. This fact Mr. Clark states to have been ascertained on one of the female
1 odoiceas planted at Mahe, which had flowered for several years without producing fruit, owing to the absence of the
male pi int A male flower was procured from an estate a few miles distant, and suspended in the tree, and about two
months afterwards one of the buds expanded, and finally arrived at maturity. The experiment was made in 1838, and
the fruit fell at the latter end of 1841. The drape attains the length of 15 inches, is about 3 feet in circumference
and weighs from 30 to 40 pounds. When the fruit has reached its full size but is still soft (in which state it is called

coco-tendre), it may easily be cut through with a knife. A transverse section, Mr. Clark states, successively displays
the husk green oh the outside, but whitish within, of a harsh astringent taste, much like the husk of a common
cocoa-nut, inside of which is a substance which is destined to form the shell ; next follows a layer, more or less thick,
of a mealy insipid substance, of a white colour, covering a yellow substance of a very decided bitter, and said to be
poisonous, which encloses the perisperm. This is a white translucent mass of a gelatinous consistence, and sweetish
taste ■ taken at the proper period it furnishes an agreeable food, much esteemed by the Sechellois. In the centre of
this where the two lobes of the perisperm unite, is the germ, at this period scarcely visible. The germination of the
seed' sometimes commences before the fall of the fruit, but most frequently after. It is prevented by burying the
nut. but readily takes place on the surface of the earth, in a situation not too much exposed to the sun. The length
of time from the germination to the period when the trunk begins to form above the ground, is stated at from 15 to
20 years, and even in favourable situations the Lodoicea is full 25 years before producing flowers.
21182.' Araucdria Cookii is more dense in habit than A. excelsa, the Norfolk Island pine. The scales of the cones
do not terminate in a hard woody truncate extremity, as in that species, but in a long reflexed appendage. In the Island
of Aniteura, w here it was first discovered, the tree has become scarce, the English having cut down the trees for ship
spars. Mr. Moore, the colonial botanist in New South Wales, saw only one plant there, and this was tabooed or
rendered sacred by the natives ; but in New Caledonia, on the south-east coast, whole forests of this tree alone were
observed. In such situations the tops are not unlike basaltic columns. Mr. Moore mentions the first plant of it noticed
by Captain Cook, who describes it in his account of New Caledonia as an elevation like a tower. It still stands, and is
in a flourishing condition. Its appearance now is like a well proportioned factory chimney of great height. A. Bid-
willii is a fine species, and grows also to a large tree. It is called Banza- Tunza or Banya-Tunya.
21 192. Torreya taxifolia. This tree has a strong and peculiar odour when burnt or bruised, and hence it is called
Stinking Cedar in its native country. The wood is not liable to the attacks of insects. T. Humbbldtii is a tree of
much paler green colour than T. taxifblia.

History, Use, propagation. Culture,
3334. Stenanthium frigidum is said to be poisonous, and may be supposed to furnish a part of the venomous Sal^a-
dilla seeds of commerce from which veratra is obtained.
3335. Phy'elephas is the genus the nuts of which are the vegetable ivory, now imported to this country in large
quantities, so much used by the turners for toys, knobs of umbrellas and walking-sticks, buttons, &c. It is cal:ea-
Cabczo de Negro in Peru, where the leaves are used for thatch for houses. The young fruit is devoured by bears.
The plant has been cultivated by Messrs. Loddiges of Hackney since 1820, and therefore is an old inhabitant of out
hot-houses. Whether the plant found on the banks of the Magdalena is the same as the plant from Peru is doubtfni.
This has also been introduced to Kew Gardens by Mr. Purdie, formerly a collector for that establishment. The sub-
stance of the nuts is the hardened perisperm.
3336. Skimmia japonica is a tree generally cultivated in Japan in gardens and around temples. Skimmia, in
Japanese, is said to mean a hurtful fruit.
21280. Antiaris toxicdiia is the Upas tree of Java and Jpuof Macassar, and is a large lactescent tree with alternate
stipulate unequal-sided subcordate costately veined entire leaves, and axillary or lateral drooping peduncles. Many
of the older travellers who have visited the islands of the Indian Archipelago make mention of this tree growing in
the kingdom of Macassar on the Island of Celebes, and producing a poisonous juice of the most deadly character. The
substance of these several statements is, that the natives of Macassar make use of the juice to poison small darts

which are discharged through atube, so fatal in its effects that a slight wound even in the heel, just sufficient to draw
blood, not only produces immediate death but renders the flesh, within half an hour, so putrid as to si parate from the
bones on the mere application of the hands. " This," adds Bontius, "is no idle invention, but depend, on the ocular
experience, not only of our own countrymen (the Dutch), but also on the English and French." Tavernli r -tares the
poison to be the produce of a certain tree growing on the Island of Borneo, and capable of being 10 tempered as to
shorten or prolong the suffering of the victim. Deschamps describes the tree as baring much the habit of an elm
' tree, having both male and female flowers growing on the same tree : and that the mere atmosphere Ol the tree || far
from being so pernicious as it has been represented, he himself having cut branches from it with impunity. The
fables related concerning it, he thinks, may be explained by transferring the odium to the marshy end unwholi tome
exhalations of the low island on the southern coast, to which, he says, state criminals and especially thoi the highest
class, are sometimes banished, and where they speedily die of maiaria, not as the vulgar beliereol emanations of the
Pohon-Upas. He stales also that the poison is the Inspissated juice obtained by means ol Incision in the bark, and
says that if introduced into the circulation by the slightest wound it proves instantly fatal, a though the natu
with impunity upon the animals killed by arrows impregnated with the poison. The Antsjar Dr. Horsfield states,
is one of the largest trees in the forests of Java, the stem being completely naked to the height of 60 to 70 or 80 feetl
and the bark white. A puncture or incision being made in the bark, the juice or sap appears oozing out, of a yellow ith

surface becomes brown. The consistence much resembles milk, only it is thicker and viscid. The sap is contained
in the true bark (cortex), which yields the juice in considerable quantities. The inner bark (liber) is of aclosefibrouj
texture like that of Mbrus papyri/era, and when separated from the outer bark resembles a coarse piece of linen, and
is made into ropes and coarse clothing. It is only when the trees are largely wounded and when felled, by which a

Dr. Horsfield states, depends in a great degree on the size of the vessels wounded, and on the quantity of the poison
carried into the circulation, but in general it is from a quarter to half an hour after its introduction it proves fatal.
He regards the convulsions accompanying the action of the poison as a subordinate and secondary symptom, and not
as the result of any direct action of trie poison upon the brain or nerves, but by rendering the heart insensible to the
stimulus of the blood and stopping the circulation.

SUPPLEMENTARY LIST
PLANTS LATELY INTRODUCED, AND NOT INCLUDED IN THE BODY
OF THIS SUPPLEMENT,
WHICH ARE REMARKABLE FOR THEIR RARITY, UTILITY, OR BEAUTY.
AbeLia vnifl6ra R. Br , Rot Mag. t. 4091. An ornamental hardy shrub from the north of China, with blush-tinged
(lowers, the sepals of the calyx being of a reddish brown.
A'bies bracteata Hook S[ Arnott, Bot. Mag. t. 4740. A very beautiful fir from California, remarkable for the long
spiny bracts of its cones. Seeds of this species have been sent home to Messrs. Veitch by their collector, Mr.
William Lobb, and numerous plants have been raised.
A^bif.s Ks'mpfbri Linril. This species forms a beautiful tree, 120 or 130 feet in height, with a deciduous habit. It
has been introduced by Mr. Glendinning, and it is supposed that it will prove quite hardy, having been found
in the central, northern, and eastern provinces of China.
A'bies Hookekiana Murray. This exceedingly beautiful A'bies is one of the conifers introduced by Mr. William
Murray of San Francisco, who found it high up in the California!! mountains, about lat. 41° N., where the
ground was already covered with snow on the 16th of October. It is closely allied to A. I'attonidna, but there
are distinguishing characteristics. The cones are of a light fawn colour, somewhat of the hue of the cone of
the common larch. The scales are larger than those of A. Paltonidna, and are not crenulated. The bract
commences to contract near the top. The seed and the wing are longer than in A. Paltonidna, and the wing
is entirely fawn-coloured. The tree attains the height of about 6(1 feet.
A'bies PATTONIANA. This is also a very beautiful species, introduced by Jeffrey, and figured by the Oregon Com-
mittee. Jeffrey describes it as attaining the height of 150 feet, towering over the rest of the forest. The cones
are uniformly of a dark brown colour. The scales are at least a third less than those of A. Hookeridna, and
are deeply and firmly crenulated. The bract does not contract near the top. The seed and wing are about
one third shorter than in A. Hookeridna, and the wing has a purplish brown tinge at the top and back.
AcRoti'-F.cM roseum. A beautiful new half-hardy annual from South-West Australia, with everlasting lively rose-
coloured flowers. It requires the same treatment as other greenhouse annuals.
AlloplectI'S chrysanthus. A rather showy species from Colombia, requiring the ordinary treatment of other
stove perennials. Flowers golden yellow, with a red velvety calyx. The leaves are of a glossy velvet-like purple
on the under side.
Alloplectus Schlimii. A coarse-growing stove perennial from New Grenada, with violet flowers, which are
yellowish below and have a red calyx. The leaves are purplish violet on the under side.
Alonsoa AcimrdLiA R.Sf P. A rather pretty greenhouse undershrub from Bolivia, with bright scarlet flowers.
Amomi'M Danielli. This is a curious stove perennial from western tropical Africa, and is one of the Mellagetta
Peppers. The flowers are red and whitish, tinged with rose and yellow.
Angi'loa RCckkri sanguInea. A handsome variety of a beautiful and well known orchid, with flowers of a uniform

valuable vegetables introduced since the potato, differs from the D. Japonica of Humb., with which it was at
first contounded. The edible part is a long tuberous rhizoma, which, when cooked, is white extremely fari-
naceous, and almost destitute of woody fibre ; in fact, it is onlv to be distinguished by the shape from the best
kind of potatoes. The plant is perfectly hardy ; and M. Vilmorin, who has cultivated it on a large scale near
Paris, finds its produce enormous. The only difficulty is, that the long tubers penetrate deeply into the ground
and are troublesome to take up ; and on this account the plant is generally grown in trenches so that the
tubers may extend horizontally.

colour the Jacobean Lily, but being larger and of the form of H. viitatum.
H<5lci's saccharatus Hort. ; Andropbgon saccharatus Kunth : the Chinese sugar-cane. This plant, though of
very recent introduction into this country, appears to have been first sent to Europe nearly a century ago, as it
is mentioned in the Bon Jurdinier for 1855, from which the following account is extracted, that a Chinese plant
apparently identical with it was used in the fabrication of sugar at Florence, in 1766, by Pietro Arduino ; it
appears, however, to have bepn soon lost, as no other traces tiave been discovered of it. The present plant has
the habit of growth of the maize or Indian corn, and it forms a tuft of eight or ten stalks from each root. The
flowers, which are in conical panicles, are green at first, but afterwards become purple. The plant, which is an
annual, appears quite as hardy as the Indian corn, and it should be sown in a light rich soil, about the same time
as the first sowing of kidney-beans. Juice is found in abundance in the pith of the stalks, and it produces sugar
and alcohol, like the juice of the true sugar-cane. The leaves also furnish an excellent forage, and a kind of
cider is made from the young or imperfectly ripened shoots. The importance of this plant, if only a part of the
qualities attributed to it prove correct, can hardly be overrated, not only as regards the sugar, which is about
a third more than is produced by an equal weight of beet-root, but with regard to the alcohol, which is in the
proportion of 63 to 3 equal weights of the Holcus and the Beet-root.
Hoy'a fratehna Blume, Bot. Mag. t. 4684. This very fine, new, and distinct species of Hoya was first detected in
Java by Blume : subsequently it has been found by Mr. Thomas Lobb, and sent by him to Mpssrs. Veitch and

unusual length and slenderness, in conjunction with the colour, of the corolla, which is of a bright sulphur-
f'ellow, with a dark, almost orange-coloured eye, and the great quantity of flowers produced on the stems and
iranches, render this plant extremely ornamental, especially whin cultivated in beds in masses. There is a

I.ii.nvt oiganteim Wall.: L. cordifollum Don, Bot. Mag. t. 4673. For the discovery of this noble plant, which
may justly be called the Prince of Lilies, we are indebted to the exertions of the late Dr. Wallieh, who detected
it in moist shady places on Sheopore in Nepal. " This majestic lily," observes Or. Wallieh, " grows sometimes
to a size which is quite astonishing; a fruit-bearing specimen of the whole plant, which is destined for the
museum of the Honourable East India Company, measures full ten feet from the base of the stem to the apex.
The Bowers are propnrtionably large and delightfully fragrant, n"t unlike those of the common White Lily."
Nor is it found to degenerate in cultivation, for flowering plants have attained a height often feet in one season,
the flower portion occupying twenty inches. Such a raceme of flowers, accompanied by b Id heart-shaped
leaves ten or twelve inches long and eight inches broad, cannot but afford a striking spectacle. The flowers are
white, or rather cream-coloured, marked with purplish-crimson. The plant should be treated as a greenhouse
half-hardy bulb. It produces seed abundantly.

Metternichia principis Mikan; M. princeps titers } Lisianthus ophiorrhlza fell., Bot. Mag. t. 4747. This is a
new genus from Brazil, belonging to Solandcea?. which has been named in compliment to the Austrian Prince
Metternich. In its native country it attains the height of twenty-five feet. In England it must be regarded as a
cool-stove shrub, and as flowering in August. The flowers are large and funnel-shaped, though not very showy,
their greatest charm, perhaps, consisting in their being powerfully and deliciously fragrant. They are white,
with the tube greenish.

it is believed, perennial roots, the flowers of which are large and handsome and of a brick-red colour, with a
pale, nearly white, spot at the base of each petal. It is said to be from Greece, but when or by whom introduced
into this country, there is no record.
Pentas carnea rosea. This is an improved variety of the well-known Pentas carnea, which has been imported by
Messrs. Osborn and Sons, of the Fulham Nursery, and which has much deeper coloured flowers, of a rosy tint.
Phacelia ramosissima Benth. A hardy annual from California, with unattractive dull white and violet flowers.

bracts.
Pinckneya ionantha. A fine stove shrub from New Grenada, with dark violet flowers and a purple calyx, which
is divided so as to resemble a stalked petaloid leaf.
Pinus Beardsleyi Murray. From the description given of this new pine (which is one of those introduced by Mr.
Murray, of San Francisco), it would appear more nearly to resemble P. Benthamiana than any other de-
scribed species. The cone, however, is not so long, being only three inches in length, while the leaves are
only six inches in length. The sheath of the leaf is short, being only an eighth of au inch. Both the wing of
the seed and the seed itself are neither so long nor so large as in P. Benthamiana. The timber of P. Beardsleyi
is homogeneous all through. " The tree is of great beauty and size: one that was cut down measured 123 feet
in height and 44 inches in diameter at the stump. Another tree next it measured 17 feet 4 inches in circum-
ference, at 3 feet from the ground. The stem was a very handsome column, about 30 feet to the first branch ;
the timber good and clear. It was found on the top of the mountain, at the same altitude as P. Jeffreydna, P.
mmiticola, and P. grdmlis, and higher than either P. Benthamiana or P. Lambertidna." The species has been
named in honour of A. F. Beardsley, Esq., who accompanied Mr. Murray in his expedition.
Pincs Craigiana. This is a Pine which also bears some resemblance to P. Benthamiana as well as to the pre-
ceding species (P. Beardsliyi). from which, however, it differs in having the prickle of the scale pointing towards
the tip instead of the base: the prickle, too, in P. Craigiana is strong and firm, while in P. Beardsleyi it is
small and weak ; and the excrescence on the exposed part of the scale is much more developed in the former
than in the latter species, which has the exposed part somewhat flat, while in P. Craigiana the upper part
projects considerably over the lower. " The wing of the seed of P. Craigiana is shorter and relatively broader ;
the seed is nearly twice the size of that of P. Beardsleyi., although the cones are about the same size. The leaf
of P. Craigiana is also very distinct from that of P. Beardsleyi ; it is much finer and not so long, while its sheath
is considerably longer and more delicate. This species was found in the same mountains as P. Beardsleyi, but
one-fourth of a mile further down, though higher up than P. Benthamiana. It spreads its branches wider from
the stems than P. Benthamiana, and sheds its seed a month later. This Pine has been dedicated to Sir William
Gibson Craig, who has done so much for the introduction and cultivation of this valuable family."
Pinus Jeffreyana. This is a hardy Californian Pine in the possession of Messrs. Low and Co., of Clapton, of
which very little is at present known.
Pinus Parryana. Another hardy Californian Pine, respecting which also little is known. Also in the nursery of
Messrs. Low and Co.
Pinus Royleana. A new Indian two-leaved Pine, with small cones, named in honour of Dr. J. Forbes Royle. It
is supposed that the species will prove quite hardy in this country, from its having been found growing in Nepal
at an elevation of from 8,000 to 10,000 feet. Introduced through the Horticultural Society of London.
Pitcairnia echinata Hook., Bot. Mag. t. 4709. In a flowerless state this curious stove perennial may be said to be
stemless; the leaves, which are two or three feet long, being all radical, as in the common Pine-apple. The
sepals of the calyx are red and yellow, and covered with prominent glands : the petals are white or cream-
coloured, and twice as long as the sepals. The plant is reported to have been introduced from Mexico. It
flowered for the first time in England in January, 1853, and continued a long time in blossom.
Pitcaihnia loncifoma. This is an ornamental species from Lima. It is a stove shrub, with an erect elongated
stem, and branched panicles of scarlet flowers.
PitcaIrnia maci«5calyx Hook., Bot. Mag. t. 4705. This is a South American species, coming nearest to P. tua-
viutens, but quite distinct. It has the largest calyx of any known species, and it is altogether a fine- looking
plant. The sepals of the calyx are yellow : the petals are large and white, and thrice as long as the calyx. The
plant requires a stove, and it flowers in December.

Fli mikria Jamishm // ok., Bot. Mag. t. 4761. This handsome stove shrub is named in honour of Professor Jame-
son, by whom it was found in the vicinity of Guayaquil. "Its treat beauty Consists in the fine red of the peduncles
and pedicels, and outside of the flower, and the rich yellow of the upper "r inner side of the corolla, ami which,
together with the great breadth of the lobes of the corolla and their acute apices, constitute the chlel ipet Iflc
distinction." In these particulars no other species is found to accord with it. The plant flowers in the stove m
July.
Fodolepis chrvsantha Endlicher. A showy half-hardy annual from New Holland, with golden yellow flowers.
l'osoijt tali hkvoutv Nee*. This beautiful Brazilian stove shrub has recently been introduced by Messrs. Veitch
and Son. It has fine laurel-like leaves, and clusters of graceful snow-white Bowers, the tube of which is more
than three inches long. " The specific name," Dr. I.indlev observes, " was given upon the supposition that the
leaves have their edges rolled back, but this occurs in so slight a degree as to cause regret that so fine a plant
should not bear a moi'e characteristic title."
PrSmi la mollis. This is a very handsome hardy or half-hardy perennial species, with the habit of P. cortusoldes.
It has been introduced from the Mountains of Bhotan, and It has deep rose-coloured flowers.

which are tipped with yellowish white.
PC ya cuii.ensis Mi, Una. Hot. Mag. t.4715. This is from North Chili, and is one of the most striking of Bromelia-
ceous plants. The stem, or caudex, of a plant in the Royal Gardens of Kew, has now attained a height of four
feet, independent of the leaves, which are from three to four feet in length, spreading in all directions, the lower
ones being reflexed. " The compound spike of flowers upon the column-like perfectly straight peduncle, is
remarkable for its size ; the large full yellow (but inclining to green) flowers and the copious brae'eas turning
brown or black in age." This plant is called Cardon and Puya in Chili, where the soft substance of the stem is
need tor corks and bungs. " The flowers yield a remedy for hernia, and the Indians use the spines of the leaves
(or fish-hooks." In this country the plant requires a cool stove. A young plant was first brought home by
Mrs. Maria Graham, afterwards Lady Calcott.
PCya srLPHTREA Hart. Hernhauss., Bot. Mag., t. 469fi. Although this species is far inferior in point of beauty and
of size to the splendid Pitya AllensteXnii var.gigantea, it is nevertheless a handsome-looking plant, and has the
merit of flowering in the winter months (in December in the stove at Kew). The native country is unknown.
The principal leaves of the plant at Kew spring directly from the root ; they are two or three feet long, and gra-
dually taper to a long point upwards, while below they lengthen into a narrow channelled base. From the centre
of the plant the peduncle arises, two feet or more in length and leafy below, the leaves like those from the root,
but smaller, passing gradually into bracteas, which latter are erect, of a purplish-red, and taper to a slender,
rather pungent, green point. The moderately large, pale, sulphur-coluurcd flowers are protruded much beyond
the bracteas, and are sessile.
Quercis infectoria Olivier. This is the Nut-gall Oak, a small evergreen tree from Kurdistan, which It is thought
will prove scarcely hardy in this country.
Rhododendron camf.lli.eplorum J. D. Hooker. This is one of the six new Rhododendrons of Assam and Bhotan
discovered br Thcmas J. Booth, Esq., and introduced in \%h4 by Messrs. E. G. Henderson and Son, all of which
have been described in The Magazine of Botany, by Mr. Booth's uncle, Thomas Nuttal), Esq., of Rainhill,
the well-known botanist and traveller. This is a somewhat curious species, with pure white flowers, having a
faint rosy tinge, and resembling a single Camellia. It was found at Lablung, and also on the Bhotan Alps at an
elevation of from 9,000 to 12,000 feet. Dr. Hooker first found this plant, but he did not succeed in sending either
seeds or living plants home.
Rhododendron cinnabarinim pallidum. This is an elegant variety of one. of the beautiful Sikkim Himalaya
species, with rosy pink flowers. It is quite hardy.
Rhododendron cfTBIMCM Flnsskarl, Bot. Mag. t. 4797. An interesting greenhouse species, with pretty primrose-
coloured campanulate flowers. It is a native of Java, where it was found growing at an elevation of from 5000 to
9000 feet.
Rhododendron Kk.ysi .Yurr. Another of the beautiful Rhododendrons discovered by Mr. Booth on the Bhotan
Alps. It was found on the northern ridges of the Lablung at an elevation of 10,000 feet, forming low thickets,
above the range of R. Hookeri and R. Faleonert. The habit of the plant is very distinct, and it is quite hardy.
The flowers are produced in corymbs below the summit of the branch, each corymb containing live or six
flowers. The other four speries detected by Mr. Booth are : Ii. Jenkinsi Nutt., a fine species, hardy, or n< arly
so, somewhat similar to II. Mdddcni, growing to the height of six or seven feet, and having, it is believed, yellow
flowers ; R. long(fblium Nutt., a plant with magnificent leaves, discovered on the slopes of the Oola Mountains,
at an elevation of from 6000 to 7000 feet, and likely to prove hardy in this country ; R. Nutidllii Booth, a mag-
nificent greenhouse sppcies from Bhotan. with very large white flowers tinted v.ith rose and yellow at the baas,
and delightfully fragrant, the flowers are indeed larger than those of any other known Rhododendron ; and R.
H'indsori Nutt., a fine hardy species, having a dwarf habit, and producing its deep crimson-scarlet flowers in
large trusses.
Rhododendron mm i m ./. D. Hook.. Bot. Mag. t. 4730. This very beautiful species was found by Dr. Hooker in
the Sikkim Himalaya, at an elevation of from 10.01 0 to IS/MOfeet It flowered for the first time in this country
in the Royal Gardens of Kew, in May. 1H-V1. It forms a small shrub, with moderately large leaves and rather
numerous flowers, which are externally of a yellowish lilac, internally of a palish lilac blotched with deeper lilac,
and having, at the inner base five deep blood-purple spots. The form of the flower is broadly campanulate.
IK hi s BiFl.oRts Tluchanan ; R. peduncnlosus D. Don, Bot. Mag. t. 4(.~K. This extremely handsome Bramble
was received bj Messrs. Veitch and Son from N. |>al. and cultivated by them for some time under the name of
R. leueoili'i mis ; a name which it might justly claim (from the pure white of the stems of the plant ) were it not
that a North-west American specie, had been so designated by Douglas, and the nunc adopted by Or». Torrey
and Gray in their Flora Of North America. The plant is quite hardy, and very ornamental and striking from
the tall very white steins and the copious white flowers, which are produced i" May and June, ami which are
succeeded by " the good-sized and well-flavoured orange or rather deep amber -coloured fruit In the early
autumn." It would be worth considering, whether this very handsome and agreeable fruit would not be
deserving of cultivation for the table.

WetiiNGTONlA gigantea Lindl. ; Sequoia gigantea Endl. t The following particulars respecting this beautiful
and remarkable tree, are extracted from an interesting account given bv Dr. Lindley, in the Gardeners'
Chronicle, at the close of 1853, when the plant received from that able botanist the name which it now bears.
"The other day," Dr. Lindley observes, "we received from Messrs. Veitch, tranches and cones of a most
remarkable coniferous tree from California, seeds and a living specimen of which had just been brought them by
their excellent collector, Mr. William Lobb, who, we are happy to say, has returned loaded with fine things, Of
that tree Mr. Lobb has furnished the following memorandum : — ' This magnificent evergreen tree, from its
extraordinary height and large dimensions, may be termed the monarch of the California!! forest. It inhabits a
solitary district on the elevated slopes of the Sierra Nevada, near the head waters of the Stanislau and San
Antonio rivers, in lat. 38° N., long. 120° 10' W., at an elevation of 5000 feet above the level of the sea. From
eighty to ninety trees exist, all within the circuit of a mile, and these varying from 250 feet to 310 feet in height.
and from 10 to 20 feet in diameter. Their manner of growth is much like the Sequoia ( Taxbdium) srmpcrvirrns:
some are solitary ; some are in pairs ; while some, and not unfrequently, stand three and four together. A tree
recently felled measured about 300 feet in length, wiih a diameter, including the bark, 29 feet 2 inches, at 5 feet
from the ground ; at 18 feet from the ground it was 14 feet 6 inches through ; at 100 feet from the ground, 14 feet;
and at 200 feet from the ground, 5 feet 5 inches. The bark is of a pale cinnamon brown, and from 12 to 15
inches in thickness. The branchlets are round, somewhat pendent, and resembling a cypress or juniper. The
leaves are of a pale grass green ; those of the young trees are spreading, with a sharp acuminate point. The
cones are about 2J inches long, and 2 inches across at the thickest part. The trunk of the tree in question was
perfectly solid, from the sap wood to the centre ; and, judging from the number of concentric rings, its age has
been estimated at 3000 years. Tho wood is light, soft, and of a reddish colour, like Redwood or Sequoia
{Taxbdium) semprrvirens . Of this vegetable monster 21 feet of the bark, from the lower part of the trunk, have
been put in the natural form in San Francisco for exhibition : it there forms a spacious carpeted room, and
contains a piano with seats for forty persons. On one occasion 140 children were admitted without incon-
venience.' " An exact representation of this tree, in lithograph, from a drawing made on the spot, has been
published by Messrs. Veitch, since the return of Mr. Lobb from his successful mission to California. From an
account by Dr. C. F. Winslow, given in the Cr.ltfornian Fanner (a weekly journal published at San Francisco),
subsequently to that by Dr. Lindley. from which the above is a quotation, we learn that the dimensions recorded
by Mr. Lobb do not give us the full height to which this splendid conifer attains, by more than 100 feet, one
specimen having been found measuring 450 feet from its head to its root ! This specimen is said to have been
10 feet in diameter at 350 feet from its uptorn root! We learn further from Dr. Winslow's observations, that
the locality in which this gigantic tree is found, seems to be confined to an area of a few acres ; and that the soil
and atmosphere of the place of growth are singularly humid. But what concerns us most to know is, that this
very important acquisition to our hardy conifers is now readily obtainable, those enterprising nurserymen,
Messrs Veitch and Son, having succeeded in raising a large number of fine healthy young plants from the seeds
brought home by Mr. Lohb. In the Bon Jardmier for 1855 it is said to be identical with the Sequoia gigantta
of Enulicher ; but a plant growing under that name in the Exeter Nursery appears to be quite distinct.
Whitlavia gkandifl6ra. A very beautiful hardy Californian annual, with the habit of Eiitoca viscida. Introduced
by Messrs. Veitch and Son. The flowers are large and bell-shaped, and of a deep purple.
Xanthorrhce'a hastile R. Br , Bot. Mag. t.4722. In describing this plant in the Botanical Magazine, Sir William
Hooker observes, " The Gum trees, or Grass Gum t.ees, as they are sometimes called, of Australia, are among
the most remarkable vegetable features of the colony. An excellent group of them is represented in Mr. Back-
house's Narrative of a Missionary Journey in New South Wales, in the table at p. 171. That peculiar species,
however, is considered to be the X. arhbrea, having an arborescent and branched stem." All th%- species, proMbly,
yield a resinous gum, which, when strewed on hot coals, emits a fragrant smoke, " smelling like a mixture of
balsam of Tolu and benzoin," and now used, we are told, as incense in the Roman Catholic churches of the
colony. The " Yellow Resin " is the product of the plant under notice, X. hasOle, which is said to have been
introduced as long ago as 1803, but soon lost. It was, however, reintroduced trom Port Jackson in 1845, through
Mr. Kidd. then having the temporary charge of the Botanic Garden of Sydney. The specimen thus obtained
blossomed in the Royal Gardens of Kew in the spring of 1853, while still, it is presumed, comparatively a
small plant, the whole height being barely six feet ; whereas in its native country the scape of the plant alone
attains a height ol eighteen or twenty feet, and is used by the natives in making spears (whence the specific
name hastile) and fish-gigs, being pointed with the teeth offish or other animals. The leaves are three feet or
