Sap-green is obtained from the berries of Rh&m-

Sapid, agreeable to the taste. 



SapindaoEjE, or Soap-worts. This order is 

 composed of a great variety of species. One 

 general character is that the embryo is either 

 much curved or spirally twisted ; this is 

 particularly remarkable in the Snake-nut 

 (Oplviocaryon). Several kinds bear eatable 

 fruit, highly esteemed in the countries where 

 they grow ; of these may be mentioned the 

 Lee-chee, Longan, Ramboolan, Honey-berries, 

 Akee, and many others quite as good as those 

 named. 



SapIndus, Linn. Altered from Sapo-indicus, 

 Indian-soap ; the aril which surrounds the 

 seed of S. saponaria is used as soap in S. 

 America. Linn, 8, Or. 3, Nat. Or . Sapindaceos. 

 These plants are hardly worth growing, except 

 in general collections. They thrive in a mix- 

 ture of loam, peat, and sand ; and large cut- 

 tiugs will root in sand, under a glass, in heat. 

 According to Browne, the seed-vessels are very 

 acrid ; they lather freely in water, and will 

 cleanse more linen than thirty times their 

 weight of soap, but .in time they corrode or 

 burn the linen. Synonyme: 1, MouUnsiaru-

Sapium, Jacquin. From sap, Celtic, signifying 

 fat ; in allusion to the unctuous exudation 

 from the wounded trunk. Linn. 21, Or. 10, 

 Nat. Or. Euphorbiacece. These trees thrive 

 well in loam and peat ; and cuttings will root 

 in sand,' under a glass, in heat. The juice of 



S. aucuparium is said to be poisonous. Syno-

Saponaceous, soapy. 



Saponaria, Linn. From sapo, soap ; the 

 bruised leaves are said to produce a lather, 

 like soap, when agitated in the water. Linn. 

 10, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Caryophyllacece. This 

 genus contains some truly beautiful plants, 

 well deserving of a place in every garden. S. 

 ocymoldes, from its trailing habit, and hand- 

 some flowers, is well adapted for rock-work. 

 A mixture of sandy loam and peat suits them 

 best, and they are readily increased by divi- 

 sion at the roots or by seed ; young cuttings 

 of the branching species will also root readily 

 if planted under a glass. The leaves of S. 

 officinalis form a lather, which much resembles 

 that of soap, and is similarly efficacious in 

 removing grease spots .

SAPOTACE.E, or Sapota plums. A group of 

 handsome trees and shrubs, some attaining a 

 considerable height. Many bear excellent 

 fruit, as the Sapbta-plum and Sappodilla, which 

 are species of Achras; the Star-apples (Chryso-

 and the Bully-tree (Mimusops).

 tached to botany, and who enriched the royal 

 gardens at Madrid with many rare plants. 

 Linn. 5, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Solanaceoe. These 

 plants will grow well in any common garden 

 soil. S. visebsa is easily increased by cuttings. 

 The seeds of the annual species should be 

 sown in the open border in spring.

 of the flowers. Linn. 20, Or. 1, Nat. Or. 

 Orchidacece. The plants of this genus are 

 highly deserving of cultivation. They re- 

 quire to be grown in a hot damp atmosphere,
