confounded with Wild Charlock, Sinapis arvénsis, by its yellow 
flowers. The stems are rather glaucous. 
Linnzus, in a dissertation in the Ameenitates Academice in- 
forms us, that in wet seasons this weed abounds among barley in 
Sweden, and that being ground with the corn, the common peo- 
ple, who eat barley bread, are afflicted with convulsive com- 
plaints, or an epidemic spasmodic disease. M. Villars, however, 
remarks, that this weed is so common in some of the cold moist 
vallies of Dauphiny, that it must make great ravages there, if it 
were as dangerous as Linnzus has represented it, and yet this 
spasmodic disorder is unknown in that country, nor has it ever 
been heard of in England, where it abounds. Kroker has proved 
the plant to he harmless, and recommends it as a nutritious food 
for domestic quadrupeds, and as very agreeable to bees.

Cult. None of these plants are worth cultivating for orna- 
ment, therefore those species not used for culinary purposes are 
only worth preserving in botanic gardens. The seed only re- 
quires to be sown in the open ground, and the plants afterwards 
treated as other hardy annuals.
