EUPHO'RBIA. Spurge, or Milkwort. 

 (Named after Euphorbus, physician to 

 the king of Mauritania. Nat. ord., Sptmje- 

 worts [Euphorbiacese]. Linn., 11-Dode- 

 candria 3-Trigynia.) 



The unripe ieed-pods of E. la'thyrus art; the 

 British capers. A large family, widely differing 

 n their habits. Hardy annuals may be sown in 

 ;he open border, in April; but, with the excep- 

 iion of plumo'sa and a few more, the rest are 

 not worth ground-room. Even the tropical an- 

 nuals are little better ; they require to be raised 

 in a hotbed and transplanted. Herbaceous per- 

 ennials are chiefly hardy; divisions of the plant, 

 and seeds ; sandy soil ; shrubs and under-^hrubs 

 chiefly require a dry stove and warm greenhouse, 

 and are propagated by seeds and by cuttings, 

 which should be dried at the base before placing 

 n any rough, loose material. The species which 

 are firm and hard require a rich, light loam, with 

 i little peat ; those that are very succulent should 

 lave a large portion of lime-rubbish and broken 

 ricks. Winter temp., not much below 45. 

 There are two sub-evergreen shrubs, natives of 

 England, amygdaloi'des and cftara'cius, both of 

 which, and especially the latter, do well for rock- 

 ork. S/rino'sa, from the south of Europe, did 

 well in the Botanic Garden at Cambridge.
