 Colonists as a restorative. As ornamental shrubs, the genus rank high in 

 fh< leguminous tribe, they are very hardy and of quick growth, and where

 one species resisted the severity of British winters, though fully exposed, 

 (without covering) to the action of frost. 



Eptlobium. Useful in cleansing foul ulcers. 



firi/onia. Emetic. Infusion in wine or brandy purgative. 



Tetragonia. Sometimes used in Bred! by the Colonists, and might be 

 ntroduccd to culture in the kitchen garden with profit.
