BLADDER-SENNA. Colutea. 



The curious, inflated, and bladder-like le- 

 gumes of this shrub being frequently made the 

 toy of idle moments, have induced the French 

 to name it Baguenaudier. M. Pirolle says, 

 " Fruit dans des vessies rougeatres qu'on fait 

 claquer par la pression pour baguenauder, 

 d'ou son nom." 



" Triflers not e'en in trifles can excel ; 

 'Tis solid bodies only polish well."
