History, Use, Pi-opagation, Culture, 
448. Physalis. From (^vcri?, a bladder. The fruit is enclosed in an inflated calyx. The berries of P. 
alkekengi are acidulous and slightly bitter ; they were esteemed detergent and aperient by the ancients. In 
Spain, Germany, and Switzerland, they are eaten as a common fruit. Phy. peruviana produces a pleasant 
fruit for tarts, and is in some countries, and even English gardens, cultivated for that purpose. 
449. Saracha. A plant resembling Atropa, or Physalis, to which it is too nearly related. It was named by 
the authors of the Flora Peruviana after Isidore Saracha, a Spanish botanist. 
450. Lycium. So called because the original species was a native of Lycia, a country of Asia Minor. Some of 
the Cape species of this genus have elegant flowers and merit cultivation, and L. barbarum is valuable for cover- 
ing naked walls, arbors, &c. It grows four or six feet in a season, flowers freely, and is readily propagated by 
cuttings at any season of the year. L. europium is used for hedges in Tuscany, being armed with small 
thorns. Clusius says they eat the small shoots in Spain with oil and vinegar. L. ruthenicum is an ornamental 
shrub from its very white bark. The greenhouse species root readily in sand under a hand-glass. 
451. Solanum. By some ingenious commentators this word has been derived from solari, to comfort. The 
derivation may be possible, but the application is not evident. This extensive genus, which belongs to the 
Luridffi of Linnasus's system of natural orders, does not contain many handsome plants ; but it includes, besides 
the Tomato and egg plant, celebrated in cookery, the potatoe, whose tubers, as a human food, if equalled, are 
not surpassed by those of any other plant. Some of the species are singular on account of their leaves and
