Order AROIDE^J. 



(Arum Family.) 



An acrid principle generally pervades the plants of this order, and in some it exists to so great 

 a degree as to render them dangerous : yet the rhizomes of several furnish nutritive food when 

 roasted or boiled. The fruits of others are by some highly prized.
