ZizAnia, Linn. The Greek name of darnel. The 

 modern plants have no relation to the ancient, 

 being natives of America. Linn. 21, Or. 6, Hat. 

 Or. Graminaceai. Z. aqudtica was cultivated 

 for a time in Middlesex and Koss-sliire ; it 

 grows ou the margin of ponds, and is exceed- 

 ingly prolific of bland, farinaceous seeds, which 

 afford a very good meal. It abounds in all the 

 shallow streams of North-West America, where 

 its seeds contribute essentially to the support 

 of the wandering tribes of Indians, and feed 

 immense flocks of wild swans, geese, and other 

 water-fowl. Pinkerton says, this plant seems 

 intended by nature to become the bread-corn 

 of the north.

ZizIfhora, Linn. Said to be from zizi of the 

 Indians, and phono, to bear. Linn. 2, Or. 1, 

 Nat. Or. Lamiacece. The species of this genus 

 are very pretty, and the perennial kinds well 

 suited for growing on rock-work, or in pots 

 well drained, in light sandy soil ; they are in- 

 creased by seeds and cuttings. The seeds of 

 the annual species should be sown in the open 

 border in April. Synonymes : 1, Z. serpyllaeea,

ZfzYPHUS, Tournefort. Zizouf, in Arabic, is the 

 name of the Lotus. Linn. 5, Or. 1, Nat. Or. 

 Rhamnacece. The species of Zizyphus are all 

 very pretty, and deserve to be grown in every 

 collection of plants. The stove and greenhouse 

 species thrive well in loam, peat, and sand, and 

 ripened cuttings root readily in sand, under a 

 glass. The hardy kinds are well fitted for 

 shrubberies, and are easily increased by ripened 

 cuttings, planted in soil, with a glass over 

 them, or by slips of the roots. The fruit of Z. 

 Jujuba and Lbtus is very excellent, and is par- 

 taken of by all classes of people, in the coun- 

 tries to which these species are indigenous. 

 It is sweet and mealy. Synonymes : 1 , Rhdmnus
