The third, or spring crop, should be sown in pots, not later than the twenty-fifth of February; these must be placed in a frame, on a gentle heat, and as the heat declines the pots must be let down three or four inches into the dung-bed, which will keep the roots moist, and prevent their leaves turning brown, from the heat of the sun, in April and May. The plants thus obtained, will be in perfection by the end of May, and be ready to succeed those raised by the autumnal sowing. (Rishon in Hort. Trans. ii. 372.) R. odorata frutescens, if left to itself, hardly appears a distinct variety, but trained against a wall or to a stick it, and also the common mignonette, may be made to assume a frutescent character. According to Sabine, the tree mignonette is to be propagated from seeds sown in spring; it may also be increased by cuttings, which will readily strike. The young plants should be put singly into small pots, and brought forward by heat, that of a gentle hot-bed being preferable, but they will grow well without artificial heat. As they advance, they must be tied to a stick; taking care to prevent the growth of the smaller side shoots, by pinching them off, but allowing the leaves of the main stem to remain on for a time to support and strengthen it. When they have attained the height of about ten inches or more, according to the fancy of the cultivator, the shoots must be suffered to extend themselves from the top, but must be occasionally stopped at the ends, to force them to form a bushy head, which by the autumn will be eight or nine inches in diameter, and covered with bloom. Whilst the plants are attaining their proper size, they should be shifted progressively into larger pots, and may ultimately be left in those of about six inches in diameter at top. (Hort. Trans. iii. 181.) Mr. Lindley's theory of the nature of the inflorescence of this genus being remarkable, and only explained in his Collectanea Botanica, which is in few hands, it is here transcribed entire. "The usual idea of the flower of Reseda has been, that it is furnished with a calyx of a variable number of divisions, with as many petals, producing from their surface certain anomalous appendages, and with an ovary and stamens inserted on a great fleshy body, called nectary by Linnæan botanists, squama by others, and raised to the rank of a distinct organ by M. Mirbel, under the name of Gynophore. To us, however, it has always appeared, that this could by no means be the real structure of the plant, and that by a slight alteration of terms it not only might be much more satisfactorily explained, but its real affinity ascertained with some degree of probability. For even allowing for a moment an analogy between the nectary of this plant and the discus of others, particularly of some Tiliaceæ, there is still a great difficulty remaining to be overcome in the anomalous structure of the supposed petals, of which we can imagine no probable explanation. We are therefore of opinion, that a much more natural mode of understanding Reseda is to consider it as having compound flowers; taking the calyx of authors for an involucrum, their petals for neutral florets, and their nectary for the calyx of a fertile ORDER III.

In support of this opinion, we may observe, firstly, that there is a difference in the time of expansion of the neutral florets, and of the stamens of the fertile one; the former being quite open, in very many capituli, before one anther of the latter has burst in a single flower. Secondly, that there is an evident analogy between the appendages of the neutral florets, and the stamens of the perfect florets; inasmuch as in Reseda odorata those of the upper sterile florets are of nearly the same number as the real stamens; because in Reseda alba, and some others, in which a union of filaments takes place in the perfect floret, there is a corresponding but more complete union of the sterile appendages; and because occasionally, in Reseda odorata, stamens are changed into bodies altogether similar to the sterile appendages, and in Reseda Phyteuma the same appearance is always assumed by the perfect stamens after the anthers have performed their functions. Thirdly, that there is an equal analogy between the calyx of the neutral florets, and that of the perfect floret; because both have a peculiar glandular margin; the same form; both produce their stamens from their surface; and because the upper edge of the calyx in sterile florets has the same relation to the axis of each particular head, as that of the perfect floret has to the axis of the whole inflorescence. In Reseda Phyteuma, which has the margin of its neutral florets rolled back, the same thing occurs in the perfect floret. Fourthly, that there is no instance of the same analogy existing between the discus and petals of other plants. We may also observe, that in Reseda Phyteuma, there is a campanulate tube to the calyx, into the upper edge of which the stamens are inserted. "To determine the affinity of Reseda to other orders, will not be so easy as to explain its structure. One cannot avoid remarking the resemblance between its calyx and the squama of Amentaceæ and Ultaceӕ. Ficoideæ, Grossulaceæ and Cacti, on account of placentation and structure of seed, may be supposed to have a certain relation to it: as may Chenopodeæ with regard to inflorescence, absence of petals, and habit. But we are disposed to believe its real place in the system is in the neighbourhood of Euphorbiaceæ, where we have placed it in Flora Scotica. They agree with it in having the same sort of aggregation of flowers, similar habit, no corolla, and ternary division of ovarium. The insertion of their ovula is the same, as is also the direction of the radicle. They differ, however, firstly, in the presence of albumen; which yet is not entirely absorbed in Reseda till the seed is perfectly ripe, and which exists even after that time in the seed of R. alba, where it is fleshy as in Euphorbiaceæ. Secondly, in their solitary seeds; in which respect Resedaceæ may be supposed to bear the same relation to Euphorbiaceæ as Campanulaceæ do to Composite; or as some sections of Rubiaceæ to the others. In R. suffruticulosa the ovules appeared to be reduced to a single row, and the same is said to obtain in Ochradenus. Thirdly, in elastic dehiscence of capsule; but as this is not universal in Euphorbiaceæ, it is not, strictly speaking, an objection of importance." (Lindley's Coll. Bot.) 1103. Euphorbia.

The juice of every species of Spurge is so acrid that it corrodes and ulcerates the body wherever it is applied so that it is seldom used internally. Externally it is dropped on warts or corns to remove them, and in the hollow of a decayed tooth, to remove the pain by destroying the nerve, or it is rubbed behind the ears to give relief in the tooth-ache by blistering.

E. officinarum, and also antiquorum and canariensis, furnish the Euphorbium of the Materia Medica. In the lower regions of Mount Atlas, the inhabitants collect the concreted gum resin, which they call furbiune, in September. It is obtained by making slight incisions in the branches of the plant with a knife, from which a milk-like juice exudes, and forms into tears of an oblong or roundish form.

The recent juice is so corrosive as to erode the skin wherever it touches; and the people who gather the gum are obliged to tie a cloth over their mouth and nostrils, to protect them from the acrid dust of the withered branches, which induces the most violent sneezing. It is inodorous; and, when first chewed, has little taste, but it soon gives a very acrid burning impression to the tongue, palate, and throat, which is very permanent, and almost insupportable . Euphorbium possesses powerful cathartic, emetic, errhine, and rabefacient properties. It has been given as a hydragogue in dropsies; but, owing to the violence of its effects, its internal use is now exploded: neither as an errhine can it be used alone, for it occasions so ORDER III.

When properly diluted, however, with starch or any other inert powder, and cautiously used, it is an effectual and excellent errhine in lethargy, deafness, palsy, amaurosis, and similar cases. (London Dispensatory, 298.) E. Lathyris has seeds about the size and color of caper buds, and in Paris is sometimes substituted for that pickle. Eaten in any quantity they must prove highly deleterious. E. helioscopia has a peculiarly acrid milky juice, which is often applied by country people to eat off warts; but should be used with caution where the parts are tender. According to Linnæus, sheep eat it, and are purged by it, and their flesh acquires a bad taste; but this is not the case with cows.
