Lotus jacobæus is a valuable greenhouse plant, as flow as flowering all the year. L. major and corniculatus are very suitable to sow with white clover and cow-grass, in laying down lands to permanent pasture. Dr. Henderson has written a good deal in their favor; Miller is against them; but Sinclair, in his work on the British Grasses, found it a valuable ingredient in meadows, especially where the soil was rather moist. (See Ency. of Agr. p. iii. b. 6.) Gebelia is the Arabic name (Gébélie) of the species to which it has been applied. 1602. Tetragonolobus. From τετρaς, four, γωvia, an angle, and λoβός, a bean, in allusion to the four wings of the pods. Tetragonolobus edulis is now a popular border annual, on account of its curious pods; but it was formerly an esculent legume, these pods being used like those of the kidney bean, by the poor of Sicily and Spain. 1603. Trigonella. From τρεiς, three, and γωvia, an angle. The standard of the flower is flat, and the keel very small and narrow, which gives the flower a triangular appearance. T. fænum-græcum, a plant cultivated by the Romans, is still occasionally employed in the agriculture of the south of Europe. The seeds have a strong ORDER IV.

An ounce renders a pint of water thick and slimy. To rectified spirit, they give out the whole of their distinguishing smell and taste, and afterwards to water a strong flavorless mucilage. These seeds are never given internally, their principal use being in cataplasms and fomentations, for softening, maturating, and dispersing tumours; and in emollient glysters. They were also an ingredient in the oleum e mucilaginibus; but this has no longer a place in the pharmacopæia. (Woodville and Lewis.) They are used by grooms and farriers for horses. Fenugreek has not been cultivated in any quantity for use in England, because it is an uncertain crop, occasioned by the inconstancy of our weather. 1604. Dorycnium. The Greek name of an herb, supposed to be the Convolvulus Dorycnium of the moderns. The plant now called by the name has no resemblance to that of the ancients.
