Cult. The species of Horn Poppy will thrive well in any 
common garden soil; they are easily raised from seeds which 
ripen in great abundance ; these may be sown where the plants 
are intended to remain. Some of the species are very pretty, 
particularly G. corniculatum, ribrum, fúlvum, tricolor, and Pér- 
sicum,

.1 Cu. ma‘sus (Mill, dict. no. 1. Oed. fl. dan. t. 676.) pe- 
duncles umbellate ; leaves pinnate; segments roundish, den- 
tately-lobed ; petals elliptical, entire. 2.H. Native through- 
out the whole of Europe, except Lapland, in shady places along 
the sides of walls in hedges and thickets, also in New England 
and Pennsylvania, but certainly introduced there. In England 
in waste grounds and thickets, especially on chalky soil. Ch. 
majus, var. a, Lin. spec. 723. Smith, engl. bot. t. 1531. Mill. 
fig. 1. t.92.f.1. Schrank, fl. mon. 2. t. 120. A very common 
plant, from 1-2 feet high, with either double or single flowers. 
An infusion of the root does good in jaundice, gout, and calculi, 
it is also used to give a colour to cotton. The juice, taken in- 
wardly, is good against dropsy, applied externally will remove 
warts, tetters, ring-worms, itch, and clean foul ulcers, diluted 
with milk it consumes white opaque spots on the eyes. A 
decoction of the plant kills the vermin which are sometimes 
engendered in putrid ulcers in horses.

the peduncles many-flowered, not umbellate. Flower yellow.

extremely bitter, and greatly esteemed among the natives ° 
Cochin-china for a variety of uses in medicine.

Cult. The species of this genus thrive well in any commo? 
garden soil, and they are easily increased by seeds, or dividing 
the plants at the root. They grow most freely in damp shady 
situations.
