 tioles. Racemes slender, loose. Corollas pale yellow, downy 

 outside. Stamens violaceous. The smell and taste of this 

 plant are said to resemble hops. It is called Ambroise in Jer- 

 sey ; and in that island when cyder fails, they malt their barley 

 at home, and instead of hops use to a very good purpose the 

 Ambroise of the hedges. Rutty says, that when the herb is 

 boiled in wort, the beer sooner becomes clear than when hops 

 are used.
