RUN. Plants which do not stand drought well, or 
are growing in poor or thin soil, and quickly form seed- 
stems—such as Lettuce, Radish, Turnip, Cauliflower, &c. 
—are said by gardeners to Run, or ‘“‘bolt.’’ The best 
preventive is a deeply-worked, fertile soil and ample 
moisture at the roots. 
RUPALA. See Roupala. 
RUSCUS. The 
Danaé Laurus. 
RUSH BROOM. 
Viminaria. 
RUSINA. See Noctua.

See Spartium junceum and 
SABAL. In addition to the species described on 
p. 338, Vol. III., the following are grown, in botanical 
establishments: S. filamentosa, S. glaucescens, S. major, 
S. mexicana, and 8. Sanfordi. 8S. minor is a synonym

SACCIA (named in honour of Dr. Sace, agricultural 
chemist, of Cochabamba). Orb. Convolvulacez. A doubt- 
ful genus, founded by M. Naudin. The only species,

order, as being of tree-like habit. It will probably thrive

of Convolvulus.
