to be grown in pots, in very sandy peat. The 

 other species will grow in common garden soil, 

 though they succeed much better when kept 

 in a peat border ; increased by divisions. Sy-

MERtJLius, Sailer. From meta, a pillar ; be- 

 cause of the resemblance in the original fungus 

 metulius. Linn. 24, Or. 9, Nat. Or. Agaricacece. 

 This is one of the most important of parasitical 

 fungi, being what is called the dry rot, so well 

 known as the pest of wooden constructions — 

 aurantiacus, l&chrymans, dbllquus, tremelldsus. 

 See Ag&ricus, and Caniherillus. 



MesbmbryacEjB, or Ficoids. Mesemlrydn- 

 themum, or Fig-marigold, as it is commonly 

 called, gives a fair example of this order ; they 

 chiefly grow in hot sandy plains in the coun- 

 tries they inhabit. All arc more or less suc- 

 culent. 



Mesembryanthemum, Linn. From mesemiria, 

 mid-day, and anthemon, a flower. Linn. 12, 

 Or. 2, Nat. Or. Mesembryacem. This beautiful 

 and well-known genus of succulents is very 

 easily cultivated. If they are intended to re- 

 main in pots, a light sandy loam will suit them 

 best ; but if they are planted out in a dry hot 

 border, they will flower more profusely. Many 

 of the kinds are very beautiful objects for 

 the flower-garden ; for this purpose, cuttings 

 should be struck iu the autumn, and allowed 

 to remain in the store-pots all winter. A dry 

 pit or frame, where frost is excluded, is suffi- 

 cient for their protection in winter. Cuttings 

 of the most succulent kinds should be allowed 

 to dry a little after planting before water is 

 given, after which they root readily. M. edule 

 is the Hotteutot-fig, the leaves of which are 

 eaten. M. nodifldrum is used in making Ma- 

 roquin leather. Synonymes: 1, M. stellalum; 

 2, M. Cand6lUi; 3, M. pzirp&reo-crdceum ; 4, 

 M. dimidyUum; 5, M. parviflorum; 6, M. 

 magnipunctatum ; 7, M. micr&nlhum; 8, M. 

 canescens; 9, M. hirsutum; 10, M. hispidum.
