ZygofhyllacE2E, or Bean capers. This order 

 consists of trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants. 

 The ligneous species furnish exceedingly hard 

 wood, and in the Guaiacuni is both bitter and 

 acrid. 



Zygophyllum, Linn. From zygos, a yoke, and 

 phyllon, a leaf ; the leaves are in pairs. Linn. 

 10, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Zygophyllacem. The spe- 

 cies of this genus are all very handsome when 

 in flower. The stove and greenhouse species 

 should be grown in a mixture of loam, peat, 

 and sand, and aTe readily increased by cuttings, 

 in sand, under a glass, or by seeds, when these 

 can be obtained. Z. Fabago grows well in any 

 light soil, in a dry situation ; it can only be 

 increased by seeds, which should be sown in a 

 pot, and placed in a frame, and when the 

 plants are large enough, they may be planted 

 out in the open border, in a warm, dry, shel- 

 tered situation. , See Guaiacum and Fabago.
