The ftalks are a yard high; the branches nearly; 

 erefl ; the leaves thin, flaccid, and ferrated, 

 fmelling like garlick when bruifcd : the flowers 

 are white : i\\e filiqu^ hardly quadrangular, but 

 round, with two lateral elevated lines, the mid- 

 dle ones fcarcely prominent : the membrane 

 which runs between the valves is fpongy, and the 

 feeds, which are cylindrical and furrow'd, are 

 imbedded in it. ' 



The leaves were formerly in ufe for fcafoning fa-

 cerous ulcers. ■
