awlshape; capsule 3-valved. — Plant acrid, caustic, supposed 

 to occasion the rot in sheep, and curdles milk, juice re- 

 moves warts and corns ; infusion in milk takes away freckles 

 and sunburn; distilled with wine produces a very stimu- 

 lating spirit, or may be made into a tincture, spiced and 

 sweetened ; formerly much used. Leaf-hairs support glo- 

 bules of liquor even in the hottest weather, are very irrita- 

 ble, and close upon small insects that touch them, after 

 which the leaf itself bends and holds the dead insect im- 

 prisoned.
