History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
384. Convolvulus. From convolvere, to entwine. Tliis is an extensive genus of some beauty, and the 
C. batatas is of known utility as an edible root. The stems in the greater number of species are herbaceous 
and twining, a few are shrubby, and one or two very low herbs. 
C. arvensis has white jointed worm-like roots, very difficult to eradicate in gardens or corn-fields : it is con- 
sidered as a certain indication of a dry soil. 
C. scammonia, named in Arabia Scamunid (Forsk. GoUus), affords the gummy resin of that name from the 
roots, which are three or four feet long, from nine to twelve inches in circumference, and contain a milky 
juice. The top of the root being bared of earth, it is cut through in a sloping direction, and a shell or cup 
placed close to the section for the juice to run into. This juice hardened is the true scammony, chiefly used 
as a stimulating cathartic. 
C. turpcthum is derived from turhid, its name in Arabia (Golius.) 
C. batatas, (Batatas is Malay according to Rumphius, Mexican according to Nieremberg) skirrets of Peru, 
or Spanish potatoes, is a native of both Indies and China. It came first to Spain from the West Indies, from 
thence it was imported here annually, and sold as a delicacy. It is the potatoe of Shakspeare and contemporary 
writers, the Solanum tuberosum being then scarcely known hi Europe. The batatas is cultivated in all the tro-
