 stibsinuatis. Syst. Nat. 



SEA SCURVYGRASS. The leaves are fleshy. Blossoms white. 

 On the sea shore and in marches. May — June. 



This is more acrimonious than the former species. It has a 

 pretty full taste of sea salt, as well as the volatile alkali. 



Cochlearia foliis lanceolatis amplexicaulibus dentatis. Syst. Nat. 



HORSE-RADISH. Blossoms white. In rich soil in moist land. 

 Not common in an uncultivated state. June — July. 



It is so rarely found where it has not been cultivated, that 

 it may possibly be doubted whether it be indigenous. The 

 scraped roots are much used at tables as a condiment, and for 

 many culinary purposes. It has been found a powerful stimu- 

 lant in paralytic cases, and is useful as a diuretic in dropsies. 

 A distilled water is prepared from it. A strong infusion is 

 emetic.
