V. uliginosum grows taller than the common bilberry, and has large globular, black, glaucous fruit. These have less flavor, but abound with a weak acid juice. (Eng. Bot.) In large quantities it occasions giddiness, and a slight head-ache, especially when full grown and quite ripe. (Linn. Suec. and Withering.) Many vintners in France are said to make use of the juice to color their wines red. (Withering.) They furnish an ardent spirit which is highly volatile and intoxicating. The Alpine birds feed upon the fruit, and it is very common in their haunts. (Villars.) V. Vitis idæa is of very humble growth and almost herbaceous, though evergreen. The berries are red, acid, astringent, and bitter. They are scarcely to be eaten raw, and though made into pies in Derbyshire, where they are called cow-berries, their fiavor is far inferior to the cranberry. Their best use is for making a rob or jelly, which is eaten with all kinds of roast meat in Sweden, and is far preferable to that of the red currant as a sauce for venison. It is also an excellent medicine in colds, sore throats, and all irritation of the mouth or fauces. (Smith, Brit. and Eng. Bot.) Linnæus says, that they are sent in large quantities from West Bothnia to Stockholm for pickling, and the same thing is confirmed by Dr. Clarke. Miller was informed that this plant was used for edgings in Norway. V. tenellum is a very good fruit.

Memecylon. The Greek name of the fruit of the Arbutus. The shrub now so called has a certain degree of resemblance to the Arbutus. Young cuttings plunged in sand in heat and covered with a handglass will root freely. 909. Lagetta. This plant in Jamaica is called Lagetto. Ripened cuttings will root in sand under a handglass. 910. Daphne. The Greek name of the Laurel. This is a genus of diminutive shrubs, mostly evergreens of great beauty and fragrance in the flower, and with a peculiar velvet texture in the leaf. It is mentioned by Linnæus as a characteristic of the genus, that the terminating buds of the shoots produce leaves, and the lateral ones flowers. This affords a hint to the cultivator to be sparing of his knife. D. Mezereum (Mâdzaryoun is the Persian name according to Richardson), Laureole gentille, Fr., Kellerhals, Ger., and Laureola femina, Ital., is an old inhabitant of the shrubbery, and deservedly much admired for its precocity and fragrance. It thrives well in loamy soil, and will grow in the shade and even drip of other trees. It is a native of all parts of Europe from Lapland to Sicily, but was first received from Elbing before it was observed to be a native. The roots of Mezereon acquire a very large size in proportion to the branches, and have more the character of the fusiform or ramose roots of a herbaceous, than of a ligneous vegetable. Th They are remarkably hot and acrid, and have long and in most countries been a popular topical Y2 STELLERA.
