The leaves are thick and fleshy. A somewhat succulent plant, easily injured by over-watering; but otherwise not difficult to preserve or increase. 1530. Crotalaria. Kρoτaλov was the name of a noisy Greek musical instrument, similar to the cymbals of the present day. The pods of this genus are inflated, and rattle, when shaken, in a similar manner. The species are all of easy culture, mostly free-flowerers; but they are shabby plants under cuitivation, and possess no good quality which can render them objects of interest or beauty. 1531. Bossiæa. Named by Ventenat, after M. Boissieu-Lamartiniére, who accompanied the unfortunate La Pérouse in his voyage round the world. This beautiful genus, according to Sweet, "thrives best in an equal mixture of sandy loam and peat; if not very sandy, some sand must be added to it to have the plants in health. The pots must be well drained with broken potsherds, as nothing injures them more than too much ORDER IV. 10080 The only species DIADELPHIA DECANDRIA. 10081 Leaves simple obl. lanceolate, Stipules lanceolate acuminate decurrent, Racemes opposite the leaves 10082 Leaves simple lanc. ellipt. blunt downy beneath, Racemes opposite the leaves 10083 Leaves very small ternate glaucous, Racemes few-flowered, Vexillum reflexed 10084 Leaves simple lanc. villous, Upper stipules lanc. decurrent, Racemes opposite the leaves, Cal. villous 10085 Branches winged upwards, Lower leaves obl.: upper lanc. acute hairy, Racemes lateral 10086 Leaves simple lin. lanc. acute villous beneath, Flowers and pods inclosed in hairy calyx 10087 Leaves simple long-lanc.

Cuttings, not too ripe, will strike root if planted in sand under a bell-glass, not too close together, as they are apt to damp; when rooted, they must be potted off in little pots and kept in a close frame, and hardened to the air by degrees." (Bot. Cult. 151.) 1532. Scottia. Named in memory of Robert Scott, M. D., formerly professor of botany at Dublin. A shrub found by Mr. Brown upon the south-west coast of New Holland. Young cuttings root in sand under a bellglass. 1533. Templetonia. Named after John Templeton, Esq., of Orange Grove, near Belfast, a gentleman to whom the editor of the English Botany was under frequent obligations for Irish plants during the progress of that work.

Goodia. In memory of Peter Good, an industrious gardener employed by the Kew garden in collecting 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 are inherited by his sons. 1536. Hovea. 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 in sand under a hand-glass. 1337. Spartium. From σπaρτov, 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 shewy 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 in Spain it affords a thread from its fibres, 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 Restharrow. The use of this shrub is very great in stopping the sand. The leaves and young branches are delicious food for goats. It converts the most barren spot into a fine 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 are 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 Rætam.

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 branches are said to be capable of tanning leather, and of being manufactured into coarse cloth; when tender, they are mixed with hops in brewing: the old wood furnishes the cabinet-maker with a beautiful material for veneering. The twigs, when bruised, smell disagreeably, which perhaps may be one reason why our broom is generally rejected by cattle (Curtis); but they have also a nauseous bitter taste. The plant when burnt affords a tolerably pure alkaline salt. Broom tops are diuretic and cathartic; the seeds are said to be emetic. The effects of this plant have been very long known to the common people; and both Mead and Cullen found them useful in dropsy. The usual mode of exhibiting them is in the form of decoction, made by boiling the green tops in water. Speaking of this decoction, of which two table spoonfuls were given every hour till it operated by stool, Cullen says, "it seldom fails to operate, both by stool and urine, and by repeated exhibition every day, or every second day, some dropsies have been cured. (Thompson's London Dispensatory, 514.) 1338. Genista. Gen, signifies, in Celtic, a small bush, whence also Génet, French. The species are shrubs or undershrubs, some of them evergreen, and many with numerous flexible rush-like green twigs like the brooms. They are of easy culture and free flowerers. G. tinctoria is common in most parts of Europe, in unimproved pastures on dry gravelly soils. When cows feed on it, their milk, and the butter or cheese made from it, are said to be very bitter. A bright yellow color may be prepared from the flowers; and for wool that is to be dyed green with woad, the dyers prefer it to all others. A dram and a half of the powdered seeds operates as a mild purgative. A decoction of the plant is sometimes diuretic, and therefore Rr2 DIADELPHIA DECANDRIA. 10170 flórida W.
