 adopted by Pliny from Dioscorides. Nat. prd. (JnweUi-

The roots of E. mari'iimum and campe'stre are sweet, 

 aromatic, and tonic ; they are candied, and sold by the 

 name of Eringo-roots. Annual, biennial, and perennial 

 hardy kinds by seeds and divisions in common soil ; if 

 sandy loam, they will thrive best. Half-hardy species 

 require the protection of a pit or greenhouse in winter, 

 and sandy loam.
