poison. Linn. 19, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Asteracece. 

 Some species of this genus are very ornamen- 

 tal, as E. florib&ndum, while others, as E. 

 coriaccum., are quite uninteresting. They re- 

 quire a mixture of peat and loam to grow in, 

 and young plants are obtained from seeds with- 

 out difficulty. E. Ayapana has been famed 

 for curing the bite of serpents, and an infusion 

 of its leaves forms excellent diet-drink, and, 

 when fresh bruised, are said to be very useful 

 for cleaning the face of a fold ulcer. E. per- 

 foliatwm is tonic, stomachic, and febrifugal.

Euph6rbia. Linnseus named this genus after 

 Euphorbus, a physician to Juba, King of Mau- 

 ritania. Linn. 11, Or. 3, Nat. Or. Euphor- 

 biaeece. This is an exceedingly variable, and 

 very extensive genus of plants, comprising a 

 number of very handsome species, as well as a 

 number that are entirely unworthy of cultiva- 

 tion. Many of the stove and greenhouse spe- 

 cies are of a succulent nature, therefore require 

 to be grown in a dry soil, consisting of loam, 

 and old brick and lime rubbish ; they require 

 but little water ; those that are not of a suc- 

 culent nature require a light rich soil, and 

 plenty of moisture. They all abound in a 

 milky juice. Sweet says, "The way we have 

 succeeded best in striking the cuttings, is to 

 stick them in the tan among the pots, in a 

 good heat, and not cover them with any glass ; 

 but the best way of getting good plants is 

 from seed, which will ripen plentifully if care 

 be taken to fertilize the stigmas with the pol- 

 len when in bloom." The hardy perennial 

 species thrive in any common garden soil, and 

 iucrease by divisions of the roots, or by seeds. 

 The hardy annuals and biennials merely require 

 sowing in the open ground. The tender kinds 

 must be sown in the hothouse, or in a hotbed 

 frame, and when potted off, must be set with 

 other tender annuals and biennials. The root 

 of E. Ipecacu&nha is said to be equal to the 

 true Ipecacu&nha. E. antiqubrum, camariinsis, 

 and some other fleshy species, produce the 

 drug Euphdrbium, which is the inspissated 

 milky juice of such plants. The native prac- 

 titioners of India prescribe internally the juice 

 of the leaves of nereifblia as a purge and de- 

 obstruent. The Tamool doctors of India give 

 the leaves and seeds of E. thymifdlia in worm 

 cases. In India, the fresh acrid juice of E. 

 Tirucdlli is used as a vesicatory. The juice of 

 E. heptagbna, according to Virey, furnishes the 

 Ethiopians with a deadly poison for their ar- 

 rows. Synonyrnes: 1, E. bupUuroides; 2, Me-
