When given alone, even in moderate doses, it purges vehemently, producing violent gripings, bloody ejections, and not unfrequently convulsions and inflammations of the bowels. (Thom. Lond. Disp. 271.) C. sativus and Melo (μελov, an apple) are too well known to require farther notice in a work of this description. C. anguria has hispid angular stems, and small flowers like those of Bryony. The fruit is of the size . C. anguria has hispid angular stems, and small flowers like those of Bryony. The fruit is of the size and shape of a pullet's egg, of a dark-green color, and prickly like a hedgehog. It is eaten green, or with other herbs in soups in the West India Islands, and is esteemed an agreeable and wholesome ingredient. C. prophetarum has a striped fruit smaller than a melon; the odor nauseous, and the taste as bitter as Coloquintida. The fruit of C. acutangulus is very insipid, but in India is eaten boiled and pickled. C. Chate has a roundish fruit almost like that of the melon; the taste is somewhat sweet and cool, but not so cool as the water melon. In Egypt it is eaten as the most pleasant fruit they have, and that from which delicate persons have least to apprehend. The culture of all the species is similar to that of the common cucumber. 2023. Sicyos. Σiκuoς was one of the Greek names of the cucumber, from σiκχoς, unpleasant. The species are trailing plants like those of Cucumis, but with much smaller fruits. trailing plants like those of Cucumis, but with much smaller fruits. 2024. Bryonia.

The root grows to a vast size. Gerarde says, "the queene's chiefe chirurgeon, Master William Goodorous, shewed me a roote heereof, that waied halfe an hundred waighte, and of the bignesse of a childe of a yeere old." To this Linnæus ascribes the quickness of its growth, though it springs late. The roots have been formerly by impostors brought into an human shape, carried about the country, and shewn for mandrakes to the common people. The method which these people practised, was to open the earth round a young thriving Bryony plant, being careful not to disturb the lower fibres of the root ; to fix a mould such as is used by those who make plaster figures close to the root, fastening it with wire to keep it in its proper situation, and then to fill in the earth about the root, leaving it to grow to the shape of the mould, which is effected in one summer. This root is a famous hydragogue, and highly purgative and acrid. 2025. Andrachne. The Greek name of the Purslane. The modern plant bears some analogy to that of the Greeks, in its thick and fleshy leaf. Plants of little beauty, and the easiest culture. 2026. Stillingia. Named after Dr. Benjamin Stillingfleet, an English botanist. S. Sebifera is the tallow-tree of China. An oil is expressed from the kernel, which hardens by cold to the consistence of common tallow, and by boiling becomes as hard as bees' wax. Stillingia sylvatica is considered a specific in cases of syphilis. 2027. Phyllanthus. From φuλλov, a leaf, and avθoς, a flower, because the flowers grow upon the edges of the MONECIA MONADELPHIA.
