371.) G. lutea has a thick root of a yellowish brown color, and very bitter taste. In Switzerland and Germany it occupies extensive tracts of ground untouched by any cattle. It was formerly used as hops in brewing, and is extensive tracts of ground untouched by any cattle. It was formerly used as hops in brewing, and is at present the principal European bitter used in medicine. The root of G. purpurea is as thick as a man's arm and two feet long; it is extremely bitter, and used as a substitute for G. lutea.

G. acaulis and verna are two beautiful edging plants, and answer well in pots. 601. Hydrolea. From ύδωρ, water, and ελaia, oil.

In memory of Cusson, a celebrated botanist, who after laboring to complete the order of umbellate plants, had all his labor annihilated by his wife, who in his absence used the paper upon which his plants had been glued for household purposes. It is a genus of easy culture, and readily increased by cuttings planted in sand and placed under a hand-glass. 608. Anabasis. One of the names given by the Greeks to the Equisetum. A small plant, quite similar to some species of Chenopodium. 609. Salsola. From salsus, salt. From these plants, which are chiefly maritime, is obtained the kelp of our shores. This is a genus of plants producing the alkaline salts called barilla, soda, potash, and kelp. Most of . Most of them are herbaceous and annual, but some have shrubby stems. S. kali, (Qaly or âlqaly, Arabic. Bochart,) is found on the sandy shores of most parts of the world, and is very generally burned for soda for the glass manufacture. S. soda is cultivated in Languedoc and also in Spain for making barilla; but is reckoned inferior to S. sativa, which grows on the Spanish shores of the Mediterranean, and affords all the best soda consumed in Europe. It is called by us Spanish or Alicant soda. In September, the crop is cut and laid in small heaps to dry. These to dry.

These heaps are then collected and burned, forty or fifty of them in a hole, in the ground. Soda is in common use in the manufacture of glass and soap; with sulphuric acid, it forms Glauber's salts; with marine acid, common salt; with the salt of Homberg, borax; and with cream of tartar, Rochelle salt. 610.

There are several varieties; those most esteemed for salads are the small red and Castelnaudary, and for extracting sugar, the green-topped. The seed is sown in March or April, on deep well comminuted soil. When the plants show two or three proper leaves they are thinned out, so as that each plant may occupy or be allowed a square foot of surface. By September or October the roots are fit for use, and may either be taken up as wanted, or taken up and buried in sand in the root-cellar. B.

Another Bose (Caspar) was a professor of botany at Leipsig, where he published, in 1728, a dissertation upon the motions of plants. Ripened cuttings root freely in sand under a hand-glass, without heat. 614. Herniaria. From hernia, a rupture, for which disorder it was formerly imagined to be a cure, but has long since been rejected even by the herbalists. H. fruticosa is well adapted for growing in pots or for rockwork, and is readily increased by seeds or cuttings; cuttings of the greenhouse species root freely under a hand-glass. 615. Ulmus. From Elm, its name in Anglo-Saxon, Teutonic, Gothic, and nearly all the dialects of Celtic. This is a genus of hardy trees, most of them valued for their timber. The species, like those of the genus Salix, are so nearly related as to be often confounded. Linnæus considered all the European elms as forming only one species. The U. campestris and glabra are those most generally cultivated in Europe. U. campestris grows also in Palestine, and Dr. Walker conjectures that it was originally brought from that country by the Crusaders. It is a tall elegant tree, but produces much less valuable timber than the U. glabra. U. suberosa, often called the Dutch elm, is frequently grafted on the U. glabra, as is also the U. campestris in the Scotch nurseries. 616. Planera. In honor of John James Planer, a German botanist, who published in 1788 an Index Plantarum Agri Erfordiensis, in one volume 8vo. A genus closely related to Ulmus, from which it is perhaps scarcely distinct. 617. Phyllis. From φuλλov, a leaf: the plant is remarkable for the beauty of its leaves. Phyllis, who was ORDER II.

Coriandrum. From κoρiς, a bug, in allusion to the smell of the leaves of the plant. C. sativum has been long cultivated, chiefly in Essex, and is considered as naturalized. The leaves are strongly scented; the seeds, which are slightly aromatic, are used to cover the taste of senna, and in spices as currie powder, and seasoning for black puddings: also, covered with sugar, as a sweetmeat; formerly they were steeped in wine or vinegar, and then dried, to render them milder. 619. Scandix. A name given by the Greeks to a plant used as an eatable, which appears to be that now called Scandix pecten. It is derived from σκεω, to prick, on account of the sharp points of the seeds. 620. Anthriscus. The name of a plant resembling Scandix, described by Pliny. A. vulgaris bears a near resemblance to the common chervil (Chærophyllum sativum), and being gathered as such, and put into soups, by the Dutch soldiers who were in England in 1745, some of them were poisoned by it. 621. Chœrophyllum. An ancient Greek name of the Chervil, derived from χaiρω, to rejoice, and φuλλov, leaf, that is to say a plant whose leaves have an agreeable smell. C. sylvestre has poisonous roots; though the leaves are occasionally used as a pot-herb, and are much liked by cows. The stems and leaves dye a beautiful green, and the umbels a yellow: the plant in a wild state is found only on fertile soils. C. sativum is cultivated in gardens for the leaves, which are used in soups and salads. To have a succes. sional supply, sow in February and August in shallow drills from six to nine inches apart.
