[herb 



ance, viz. H. giganieum, a native of Siberia. 

 This species is easily raised, and flowers 

 the year after being sown, or sometimes a 

 year later still, the latter being usually the 

 more vigorous and attaining larger size. 

 Individuals ten to twelve feet high are 

 common, with a circumference of stem 

 equal to about as many inches. 



Some of the species are turned to various 

 useful purposes. Our native H. Sphondy- 

 lium is used for feeding pigs, and in Scania, 

 according to Linnaeus, is employed as a 

 domestic remedy. A Kamtschatkan species 

 is had recourse to by the natives ; the foot- 

 stalks of the lower leaves, when properly 

 treated, yield a sweet exudation which is 

 employed in the preparation of a distilled 

 spirit. The roots and stems of H. lanatum 

 are eaten by some of the native tribes of 

 Xorth America. The young shoots of H. 

 pubescens contain a sweet and aromatic 

 juice, and are used as food in some parts 

 of the Caucasus. [G. D.]
