Sm.s ... 4324 4327 推庆 4332 4334 4346 History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 4338 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-like 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. Aspidistra. From aσπiς, 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 Junceæ and Cyperaceæ form intermediate links between the Gramineæ and the Liliaceæ; some of the latter, as Anthericum, bearing considerable resemblance to the Junceæ.

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 for 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. conglomeratus and effusus 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 conglomeratus are bad weeds in wet-bottomed clayey 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 under-drainage. These species, and some others, are gathered green by the Dutch gardeners, and used when dry as tyes for fruit-trees. Sir J. E. Smith says, "they both, probably, served for strewing floors in England, as mentioned by Shakspeare and Sir Thomas More, about the time of Edward IV., and later; till more refined manners wrought ORDER I. 4323 The only species HEXANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 4324 Culm rounded mucronate, Panicle terminal, Invol. 2-leaved spiny 4325 Panicle terminal proliferous, Involucre 2-leaved spiny, Caps. obl. acute as long as sepals 4326 Culm upright, Pan. lateral globose, Caps. retuse, Flowers triandrous 4327 Culm upright, Pan. lateral decompound effuse, Caps. clavate truncate at end glaucous 4328 Culm glaucous at the end bent inwards and rounded, Pan. lat. erect, Caps. oblong acute 4329 Culm pungent, Panicle effuse 4330 Culm erect, Umbel lateral, Pedunc. many-fl.

For the former purpose, indeed, as well as for chair-bottoms and hassocks, Scirpus lacustris has superseded their use. (English Flora, p. 162.) 761. Luzula. These plants were called by the ancient botanists Gramen Luzule; whence this name has been contrived by Decandolle to distinguish the rushes with flat leaves, from those which have leaves resem- bling the stem. contrived by Decandolle to distinguish the rushes with flat leaves, from those which have leaves resembling the stem. 762. Corypha. From κoρuφη, the summit of any thing; a name applied by Linnæus to this noble genus of palms, the topmost leaves of which form immense fans twenty feet long and fifteen wide. In Ceylon this palm , the topmost leaves of which form immense fans twenty feet long and fifteen wide. In Ceylon this palm is called Tallipot , and, according to Knox (Hist. of Ceylon.), it grows as big and tall as a ship's mast, and very straight. The leaves are of great use, one being so broad and large, that it will cover fifteen or twenty men. Being dried it is very strong and limber; and though it be very broad when open, yet it will fold close like a fan, and then is no bigger than a man's arm. The whole leaf spread is round, but is cut into triangular pieces for use: these they lay upon their heads as they travel, with the narrow end foremost, to make their way through thickets. Soldiers all carry them, not only to shade them from the sun, and to keep them dry in case of rain on their march, but to make their tents for them to lie under. These leaves all grow on the top of the tree. It bears no fruit until the last year of its life, and then yellow blossoms, most lovely to behold, but smelling very strongly, come out on the top, and spread abroad in great branches; these come to a fruit, round and very hard, as big as our largest cherries; in such abundance, that one tree will yield seed enough for a country; but not good to eat. The flowers smell so strong, that they cut down the trees when they are near houses . The trunk within is a pith only, which they beat in a mortar to flour, and bake cakes of it, which taste much like white bread. The leaves also serve for covering their houses, and for writing on with an iron style. Most of the books which are shown in Europe for the Egyptian papyrus, are made from the leaves of this palm. In Malabar it is called Codda-pana. Rumphius, Loureiro, and Adanson mention several other species of this palm The C. taliera is a fine tree of prodigious use in the northern provinces of India for covering houses and for other useful purposes. useful purposes.
