In honor of a German botanist named Jerome Bock, born in 1498, and died in 1554; Tragus, which was the name he bore in science, being a Greek translation of his real name, both signifying a goat. He published a history of plants, or Kræuterbuch, and several other works. Twining plants of no interest. 1945. Typha. From τuφoς, a marsh, in which all the species naturally grow. T. latifolia is one of the handsomest aquatics of the reed kind; its leaves are of a bluish color, an inch in width, and three feet long; the pollen of the flower is very abundant, and a light being applied to it, a flash of fire is produced. Haller says, that the roots are eaten in salads, that cattle eat the leaves, and that the downy seeds serve for stuffing pillows. The leaves are sometimes used by coopers, and introduced between the staves of their casks; they are frequently used for making mats, baskets, chair bottoms, and sometimes for thatch.

C. paniculata grows in bogs in immense tufts, making a firm support for the heaviest bodies. C. Fraseri is the handsomest species of the genus, resembling at a short distance when in flower, one of the Liliaceæ. C. riparia has leaves half an inch wide, and from one to three feet long in Italy the leaves are used by the glass-makers to bind their wine flasks by the chair-makers to bottom chairs; and by the coopers to place in the junctures in the heads of casks, in the same manner as the leaves of the Typha are used in the same country, and the stalks of Scirpus lacustris in England. C. arenaria increases rapidly in loose sand, and is sometimes planted with a view of fixing soils of soils of this description, along with Elymus and Arundo. 1948. Cobresia. Named by Willdenow, after a German nobleman of the name of De Kobres, who is said to have been a great promoter of natural history. The plants resemble Carex. ORDER III.

Uncinia. So called from oyzos, a hook, in allusion to the hooked awn, which in the fruit becomes hardened. Plants with the habit of Carex. 1950. Zea. The Greek name of corn of some kind. It is derived from ζaω, to live, and applied to this nutritive plant with propriety. The word Maize is the denomination of the vegetable among the South Americans. Zea Curagua is the curious Valparaiso corn, to which a sort of religious reputation is attached, on account of the grains, when roasted, splitting regularly into the form of a cross. Of the well known Indian corn, Z. Mays, there are numerous varieties, some of which are sufficiently hardy to thrive in this climate. 1951. Coix. A name used by Theophrastus to designate a kind of grass. C. Lachryma, commonly called Job's tears, derives its name from the appearance of its shining pearly fruit, which, when suspended on its slender pedicels, resembles in no inconsiderable degree a falling tear. Tropical grasses, which flower and seed plentifully in rich light soil.
