The species are elegant little shrubs, freeflowerers, and of easy culture. Most of them will yield the dye, but those chiefly cultivated for this purpose are the I. Anil (Alnyl, Arab.), in the West Indies, and the I. tinctoria, argentea, and some other species in the East Indies. The 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 where 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 friable and rich, perfectly free from weeds, and dry if naturally moist. The seeds are then sown in shallow drills about a foot apart. The rainy season must be chosen for sowing, otherwise if the seed is deposited in dry soil, it heats, corrupts, and is lost. The crop being kept clear of weeds, is fit for cutting in two or three months, and this may be repeated in rainy seasons every six weeks. The plants must not be allowed to come into flower, as the leaves in that case become dry and hard, and the indigo produced is of less value; nor must they be cut in dry weather, as they would not spring again. A crop generally lasts two years. 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 from 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 perfectly 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 first chosen a proper piece of ground, and cleared it, hoe it into little ORDER IV.

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 sufficiently to cover the ground. Those who cultivate great quantities, only strew the seeds pretty thick in little shallow pits, hoed 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 best 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 are sufficient to manage twenty acres of indigo; and one acre of rich land, well planted, will, with good seasons and proper management, yield five hundred pounds of indigo in twelve months, for the plant ratoons (i. e. it sends out stolones), 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 circumstances of the East and West Indies. It was tried in the south of France and Italy, during the Buonaparte dynasty, but found not worth following for the same reason. 1590. Tephrosia. From τεφρoς, ash-colored, in allusion to the color of the foliage. T. toxicaria is a spreading shrubby plant. The leaves and branches, well pounded, and thrown into a river or pond, very soon affect the water, and intoxicate the fish, so as to make them float on the surface, as if dead; most of the large ones recover after a short time, but the greatest part of the small fry perish on these occasions. It has been introduced to Jamaica, and cultivated there, on account of its intoxicating qualities. (Browne) 1591. Galega. A name of unexplained meaning. Ruellius says, it is the word Glaux, Italianized! G. officinalis was formerly accounted cordial and sudorific, but is now out of repute. The species are handsome border flowers.
