 most parts of the plants. Linn. 17, Or. 4, 

 Nat. Or. Fabacece. All the species are rather

 under a glass. The frame and hardy sorts do 

 best in peat and sand, or any light sandy soil, 

 and are increased by cuttings or seeds. The 

 biennial species must be raised on a hotbed 

 frame, and when potted off, kept with the- 

 greenhouse plants.. The seeds of P. coryMfdlia- 

 are used by native doctors in India, and con- 

 sidered stomachic and deobstruent. Syno-
