276 Scoparia. From scopa, a broom. In the Antilles brooms are made of the twigs. This plant is treated 
as a tender annual, and after being raised in the hot-house or hot-bed, is potted oft; and kept in the green- 
house, or planted out in the flower borders. 
277. Centunculus. A name given by the Romans to a small plant found in cultivated lands. The present is 
a little mean weed of no use or beauty. 
• Z'^^'^^ogo- A name of which no satisfactory explanation has been given. Of the species. Psyllium is de- 
rived from -^vP^Xo;, a flea, in allusion to the appearance of its little seeds. Lagopus, from x«yo?, a hare, and jtus,

loot ; Its deeply-cut leaf having been compared to a bird's foot. Cynops, signifying dog's-eye, is the name of a 
plant of Phny, and one of his plantains. This is a genus of little beauty, and no great utility. Like all other 
plants known to our botanical forefathers, they were said to have their medical virtues ; but that is nothing, 
or at least but little guide to their absolute use in the arts. P. lanceolata (rib-grass) has been employed in agri- 
culture as a herbage plant, but to which it appears to have no great claim. Where it abounds natoirally, it is
