E. hirsutum is found only in rich moist soil by water. The leaves smell like scalded codlings or gooseberry pye when green, but lose that odor when dry. Cattle are rather fond of the plant both recent and dried. 904. Fuchsia. So named in honor of Leonard Fuchs, a famous German botanist, author of Historia Stirpium, in 1542, with 516 excellent engravings in wood. F. coccinea is one of the most elegant of deciduous greenhouse shrubs; the young wood and nerves of the leaves are tinged with purplish red: the pendent blossoms, like most produced from the axils of the leaves, as the shoots grow, continue during the greater part of the growing season, and are succeeded as they fade by a purple berry. The finest specimen in England of this species is at Salt-Hill.

Many other species have been lately introduced, some of which will probably be very handsome. South America contains some most splendid species, of which we know nothing in this country. 905. Jambolifera. From fero, to bear, and Jambol, the name of a Malabar fruit. Cuttings strike freely in sand under a hand-glass. 906. Oxycoccus. From oξuς, acid, and zozzos, fruit; on account of its acidity. A genus well distinguished from Vaccinium, by the narrow revolute segments of corolla. These are pretty little trailing evergreen plants, to which a peat soil and rather a moist situation are absolutely necessary: they are very little changed by culture.

O. palustris bears edible berries which are gathered wild both in England and Scotland, and made into tarts. Lightfoot says, twenty or thirty pounds worth are sold each market day, for five or six weeks together, ORDER I.

The plant might no doubt be cultivated with equal ease as the American species.

O. macrocarpus furnishes the cranberries sent from America: it was first cultivated in this country by Sir J. Banks, on the margin of a pond (Hort. Trans. i. 71.), and subsequently both in moist and dry situations by different cultivators. Peat earth is essential to every mode of culture; but a much less degree of moisture will do than was at first believed. Salisbury found it do very well in pots of bog earth set in the shade; and Milne found "vigorous shoots and abundant crops produced on dry beds of peat earth, even in the warm summer of 1822." The American cranberry he found easier to cultivate than the common sort; but Hallet found both the cranberry and bilberry succeed perfectly under such treatment. (Hort. Trans. iv. 483, and v. 279. 907. Vaccinium. A name, the derivation of which is not known. Neither are commentators more decided as to what was the Vaccinium of the Latins. The only conclusion to which they have come, is that the Vaccinia nigra of Virgil are the same as the μελav ὑaκivθoς of the Greeks. The species are neat little evergreen under shrubs, and inhabitants of moist alpine or subalpine regions in peat earth. V. Myrtillus is an elegant and also a fruit-bearing plant. The young fresh green leaves, and wax-like red flowers appear in May, and towards autumn the leaves grow darker and more firm, and the ripe berries are gathered in the north for tarts, and in Devonshire and Poland are eaten with clotted cream. (Eng. Bot.) The berries are very acceptable to children, either eaten by themselves or with milk, or in tarts. The moorgame live upon them in the autumn. The juice stains paper or linen purple. Goats browse upon the plant; sheep are not fond of it; horses and cows refuse it. (Withering.) The berries have an astringent quality; and in Arran and the Western Isles are given in diarrhœas and dysenteries with good effect. The High. Y 5509 resinósum H.
