R. occidentalis is a showy plant for large shrubberies. The fruit of R. cæsius is blue, edible, and it continues till frost. R. corylifolius and fruticosus are both common in our hedges; the shoots of the latter are much tougher than those of the former, and are preferred by thatchers for binding their roofs, and by straw-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 very ornamental. The fruit of R. arcticus and chamæmorus is eaten in the north of Scotland and Sweden. In the iatter 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. 1150. Dalibarda. Denis Dalibard was a French botanist, who published, in 1749, a catalogue of the plants in the neighbourhood of Paris. Small plants, resembling the little species of Rubus. ORDER III.

Fragaria. From fragrans, in allusion to the perfumed fruit. Ital. This is a genus of fruit-bearing herbaceous plants, of which there are few in the vegetable kingdom, and none to equal the strawberry in wholesomeness and excellence. This fruit is universally grateful, alone, or 7588 Fraisier, Fr., Erdbeere, Ger., and Tragolo, with sugar, cream or wine; and has the property, so valuable for acid stomachs, of not undergoing the acetous fermentation. Besides the species or subspecies enumerated, there are upwards of sixty mongrel varieties or different 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 succession of sorts, they may be had at the dessert every month in the year, though during the three winter months they are without flavor.

In cultivating the strawberry an open situation and rich loamy soil, rather strong, is required for most varieties; and from their large mass of foliage and flowers, they must, till the fruit is set, have copious supplies of water. The row culture is most convenient, and frequent renewal insures vigorous plants and large fruit. 1152. Comarum. A name given by the Greeks to the Arbutus. The Comarum of the moderns produces a fruit not unlike that of the Arbutus. 1153. Potentilla. In allusion to its supposed potential virtues in medicine.

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 economy 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 Killarney.

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 fœtid ill conditioned sores; but it is seldom used. (London Dispensatory, 538.) 1155. Geum. From γεuω, to taste well. The roots of G. urbanum have a mildly 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 info ale, they give it a pleasant flavor, and prevent its turning sour. Infused in wine, it is esteemed a good ORDER III.
