Echiom, Linn. From echis, a viper ; the seeds 

 resemble the head of the viper. Linn. 5, Or. 

 1, Nat. Or. Boraginacew. This is a very pretty 

 genus of shrubs, growing from two to six feet 

 high, in a mixture of loam and peat. Cuttings 

 will root in the same kind of soil, under a 

 glass ; but they are more readily increased by 

 layers, which soon take root if laid down in 

 the young wood, with a little nick cut in the 

 shoot. Seeds are frequently produced, from 

 which they may also be increased. Syno-

 3, E. hispidum, ttegans.
