GARIA (from Fraga, the old Latin name, from 
the same root as fragrans, fragrant; referring to the 
perfume of the fruit). Strawberry. ORD. Rosaceæ. A 
genus of three or four species of hardy (except where 
otherwise stated) perennial scapigerous herbs, with run- 
ners, natives of North temperate regions, the Andes, 
Sandwich Islands, and Bourbon. Flowers white or yellow, 
honeyed, often polygamous; achenes many, minute, em- 
bedded on the surface of the large convex fleshy recep- 
tacle. Leaves three-foliolate (in the British species), 
pinnate or one-fcliolate. Several of the so-called species 
have, without doubt, originated from two or three ; many 
of them, however, preserve a well-marked character. For 
cultivation, see Strawberry.
