G. triquetra is the handsomest hardy species: it is evergreen, and produces a vast profusion of bloom. 1539. Lebeckia. Named by Thunberg: possibly in honor of some forgotten botanist. Young cuttings root freely in sand under close cover. 1540. Ulex. A word of very obscure meaning. De Theis derives it from ac, a point in Celtic. U. europæus, Jonc-marin, 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. Linnæus lamented that he could hardly preserve it alive in a greenhouse. Many parts of Germany are wholly destitute of the furze bush, insomuch that Dillenius was in 'a perfect extasy when he first saw our commons covered with its golden flowers. And Gerarde 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 of ten or twelve feet on a raised mound, it does not last long, getting naked below. Sown on a mound the sides may be out, and the prunings used as fuel or as green food, and the fence thus rendered close at bottom and durable. It is sown in fields, and ORDER IV.

For this purpose, the shoots should not be more than two years old, and they require to be passed between rollers to bruise the ligneous parts and the thorns. It has been tried in this way by a number of agriculturists, and found a highly nutritive food for horses, oxen, and kine. Though a hardy plant and enduring the sea breeze, yet it is frequently killed by severe winters. It is never found on wet-bottomed clays, but generally on dry it is frequently killed by severe winters. It is never found on wet-bottomed clays, but generally on dry rocky or stony soils. There is a very luxuriant variety called the Irish whin, and one with double flowers found a few years ago in Devonshire, and now in propagation by cuttings in the nurseries. U. nanus greatly resembles the common species, but is smaller in all its parts. It flowers from August to January, which renders it valuable in shrubberies as a successor to the other. 1541. Ononis. From ovos, an ass, because asses only feed upon so prickly a plant. O. spinosa, Arrète boeuf, Fr., Rest harrow, Eng., was formerly very troublesome in corn fields, on account of its long ligneous roots obstructing the progress of the plough, and its thorny branches the harrow: but in all properly cultivated lands the plant has disappeared. It is frequent in aboriginal pastures on dry soils, and is eaten by cows, sheep, and goats, but not freely by horses. All the species are of easy culture, and the greenhouse kinds are readily increased by young cuttings under a bell-glass in sand. 1542. Anthyllis. From avθoς, a flower, and iouλoς, a beard. So called from the silky appearance of its heads of flowers; whence also one species is called Barba Jovis. A.
