Hipp(5mane, Linn. From hippos, a horse, and 

 mane, madness ; alluding to the effects of the 

 original plant. Linn. 21, Or. 10, Nat. Or. 

 Euplwrbiacece. H. Mancin&lla grows to an 

 immense size in its native country, and 

 abounds in a white milky juice, which is 

 highly poisonous, therefore, it is very neces- 

 sary, in cutting the plant, not to let the juice 

 touch the skin, as a single drop would be 

 sufficient to make the hands swell and itch 

 very much. A mixture of sandy loam and 

 peat suits both the species, and cuttings root 

 readily in sand, under a glass, in heat. Syno-
