Caladium, Ventenat. Meaning not explained. 

 Linn. 21, Or. 9, Nat. Or. ArOceoe. The spe- 

 cies of this genus are interesting on account of 

 having singularly spotted stems, and pretty 

 neat, often green foliage. Several grow best 

 in water, and the whole grow well if planted 

 in rich soil, and may be propagated from tu- 

 bers. O. segulnum is a native of the "W. Indies 

 and S. America, where it grows five or six feet 

 high, and is called the' dumb-cane, because it 

 has the power, when chewed, of swelling the 

 tongue, and destroying the power of speech. 

 Dr. Hooker gives an account of a gardener 

 who incautiously bit a piece of the d'umb-cane, 

 when his tongue swelled to sxiah a degree 

 that he could not move it, he became utterly 

 incapable of speaking, and was confined to 

 the house for several days ; he also adds, 

 that it is said to impart an indelible stain 

 to linen. — Ex. Bot. P. Brown states, that 

 its stalk is employed to bring sugar to a good^ 

 grain when it is too viscid, and cannot be made 

 to granulate properly by the application of 

 lime alone. Synonymes : 1, Arum cucullatum ;
