History, Use, Propagation, Culture^ 
76. Anthoxanthum. From av^o?, a flower, and la-vGo;, yellow, the spikes being yellow. This grass has the valves 
of the calyx sprinkled over with minute yellow dots, similar to those of black-currant berries ; hence, possibly. 
Its peculiar scent. It is this grass which gives the peculiar smeU to meadow-hay ; that made from ray-grass or 
other sown-grasses having no such odour. It is one of the earliest flowering grasses, grows on any soil, but pre- 
fers one moderately dry. Stillingfleet recommends its being sown with a view to improve the flavor of mutton. 
But its seeds are collected with so much difficulty that they are too costly to be sown in any great quantity. 
77. Piper. Undoubtedly from pippul, the Bengalese name of the long-pepper, notwithstanding the learned 
derivations of authors from ■Tzn^ro, jrs^re?;, to digest The plants of this genus are mostly succulent, perennial, 
herbaceous, or frutescent ; often scandeht as in that species which furnishes the pepper of commerce ; dichoto- 
mous and jointed. P. nigrum furnishes the pepper of commerce. It grows wild in the East Indies, and in Cochin 
China, and is cultivated in Malacca, Java, and especially in Sumatra. The pepper or seed is distinguished in 
the shops as black or white ; the former is the dried berry in its natural state ; the latter, the berry deprived 
of its skin, by steeping about a fortnight in water, and then drying in the sun. Black pepper is the hottest and 
strongest. As a spice, pepper differs from most others by its pungency residing not in the volatile parts or es- 
sential oil, but in a fixed substance, which does not rise in the heat of boiling water. The culture of the plant 
in the pepper farms of the East very much resembles that of the hop in England. Holes are made in prepared 
ground at from six to twelve feet a-part every way ; in these from two to six cuttings of the pepper vines are
