Trymalium, Fenzl. Not explained. Linn. 5, 

 Or. 1, Nat. Or. Rhamnacem. This species is 

 well deserving a place in every collection of 

 greenhouse plants, on account of its snow- 

 white flowers ; which, being produced in nu- 

 merous loose, drooping panicles, render it *a 

 very beautiful object when in blossom ; its 

 flowers are also deliciously fragrant. The wood 

 is said to be soft and pithy, and the plant apt 

 to die off in winter, if overpotted, and not 

 kept in a warm and light situation : in other 

 respects, it may be treated as the greenhouse 

 species of Ceandthus.

Tuber, Michaux. An ancient Roman name for 

 a fungus. Linn. 24, Or. 9, Nat. Or. Hclvel- 

 lacece. T. cibarium is the famous truffle, so 

 celebrated in the annals of cookery. It grows 

 under ground, and is found in light dry soils, 

 in some of the southern counties ; but it is 

 much more common in Italy, Germany, and 

 the south of France, whence immense quanti- 

 ties are imported. Dogs are taught to find 

 this fungus by the smell, and to scratch it up 

 out of the earth. An instance is recorded of 

 a man having possessed this power. It is 

 brought to the table boiled or stewed. It is 

 reported to have a stimulating aphrodisiacal 

 quality, which perhaps renders it more popular 

 than its flavour, which is trifling — dlbidum, 

 cibarium. See Scleroderma.

Tulipa, Tournefort. Said to be from Thouly-

 Or. Liliacece. A genus of very celebrated and 

 much-prized florist's flowers. They succeed 

 well in rich loam and sand, and are increased 

 by offsets ; new varieties are obtained from 

 seed. The choicer kinds require to be taken 

 up and dried after they have ceased flowering, 

 and planted again in the autumn. They 



i should be slightly protected in very rainy or 

 frosty weather, or they are very liable to rot.
