Astragalus, Linnasus., From astragalos, ver- 

 tebra, or talus, the seeds being squeezed into 

 a squarish form in some of the species. It is 

 also a name given by the Greeks to one of 

 their leguminous plants. Linn. 17, Or. 4, 

 Nat. Or. Fabaceoe. This genus is extensive, 

 and the species are many of them very hand- 

 some, and well suited for the flower-garden ; 

 the herbaceous kinds merely require planting 

 in the open air ; the annual kinds sowing 

 where they are to flower. A. lotoides is the 

 handsomest, and should be sown in a mode- 

 rately-heating hotbed, and planted out in the 

 borders when sufficiently strong. Synonymes :
