of peat and sand, and treated as other alpine plants; it can be 
propagated by dividing the plants at the roots or by seeds. Not 
worth cultivating except in general collections.

the rest of the order, and it is rather glutinous to the taste.

Shepherd’s-Purse. Fl. March, Nov. Britain. Pl. 4 to 1 ft. 
Cult. The Shepherd’s-Purse is well known asa very trouble- 
some weed in gardens, but it is easily kept under by hoeing the 
ground in dry hot weather, at or before it comes into flower, 
but if suffered to seed it will become exceedingly troublesome.

This plant has got about 20 other synonymous names, but they 
have now become perfectly obsolete. ‘Sepals roundish, with 
white membranous margins. Stems spreading, quite flat to the 
ground. This plant was formerly gathered and used as a salad ; 
but has since been deservedly neglected, the whole herb being 
nauseously acrid and fetid, and must require much boiling to 
render it eatable.
