Cult. The species of this genus are all very beautiful ; they 

 will thrive well in a light, rich soil. They are very ornamental 

 for the front of flower-borders, or they will succeed well in rock- 

 work ; they are increased by dividing the plants, or by seeds ; 

 the bulbous-rooted species by offsets ; the annual kinds by seeds, 

 which may be sown where they are intended to remain. The 

 greater part of them will thrive well under trees, if the ground be 

 not too dry. 



VI. SARCOCA'PNOS (from <rap (rap/coc, sarx sarkos, flesh ;

 being thick or fleshy.) D. C. syst. 2. p. 129. prod. 1. p. 129.

 Desf. alt. 2. p. 126. t. 173. A tufted smooth evergreen herb

Thick-leaved Sarcocapnos. Fl. ? PL trailing. 



Cult. These plants will thrive well in the open border, or in 

 the moist parts of rock-work in a light rich soil ; and they may 

 be either propagated by dividing the plants at the root or by 

 seeds. 



VII. FUMARIA (from fumus, smoke; in allusion to the dis- 

 agreeable smell of the plant. The French, with the same mean- 

 ing, call it Fumeterre, whence our English Fumitory). Tourn.
