History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
125. Eriophorum. From i^m, wool, and (^ie,ca, to bear. Its seeds are covered with silky tufts of a wool-like 
substance. For the same reason it is called in English cotton-grass. 
126. Trichophorum. From T§/;ta?, hair, and (ps^iw, to bear. Its inflorescence resembles a bunch of hair. This 
genus and Eriophorum grow in peat bogs, and have their seeds clothed at the base with a white or brown 
silky down or cotton-like substance, from which specimens of cloth have been made, paper, and wicks for can- 
dles ; and in Sweden, pillows stufFed. Of these genera, and of the Cyperaceze in general, it has been observed 
by Villars, that being mostly natives of bogs, marshes, and watery places, they have a tendency to raise 
and dry such spots. The roots and base of the stems rot and become peat, and thus are useful as firing or 
manure. 
127. Cyperus. The roots of some species of this genus have eatable roots, and are considered aphrodisiacal in 
a high degree. It is, therefore, probable that the word derived its origin from Cypris, a name of Venus. This 
is a genus of sub-aquatic or marsh sedgy plants, more injurious than useful, and of little or no beauty. The 
root of C. longus is agreeably aromatic, warm, and bitter : those of C. esculentus {souchet comestible, Fr.) pro- 
duce round tubercles about the size of peas, which are eaten in some places in France and Spain ; and when 
boiled, taste something like chestnuts. 
128. Papyrus. A word of obscure origin. P. antiquorum yields the substance used as paper by the ancient 
Egyptians. In Syria it is called babeer, and hence, probably, the words papyrus and paper. The flower-stalk rises 
about ten feet from a long horizontal thick root, the lower part clothed with long hollow sword-§haped leaves
