Sir J. Hooker records a curious use made of the leaves of a genus of this order : 

 " Pinguicula leaves, ■whether fresh or dry, are used hy the Lapps to thicken fresh still 

 warm milk, which neither curdles nor gives cream thereafter, but forms a delicious 

 compact tenacious mass, a small portion of which will act similarly on another 

 quantity of fresh milk."
