 Or. Zygophyllacece. Lofty, ornamental-grow-

 tings are rooted, as they are very brittle. The 

 species are well known for their exciting pro- 

 perties. ■ The bark and wood of 67. officinale is 

 bitter and acrid, and is chiefly used in sudo- 

 rifics, diaphoretics, or alteratives. Synonyme :
