History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
for years without vegetation. Where there is an ice-house, they may, when taken out of the pits, be kept in 
small quantities in it till wanted for use. 
S. lycopersicum. (From Xvxo;, a wolf, and persica, a peach, in poetical allusion to the beautiful appearance 
and deceitful value of the fruit.) Tomate, Fr., and Fomo (Voro, Ital., is cultivated extensively about Naples 
and Rome for the use of the berry in sauces, stewing, and soups. It is one of the most common articles used 
in Italian cookery, and makes an excellent sauce for fish, meat, and general purposes. Its use for sauce in this 
country is greatly on the increase, and it is cultivated to considerable extent near London, against walls and 
artificial banks, being raised on a hot-bed, and transplanted like other tender annuals. 
S. nigrum, a very common plant on dunghills, is narcotic and poisonous like S. dulcamara and Atropa bella- 
donna. A Spanish cure for the consumption is burying up to the chin in garden earth, and afterwards rub- 
bing the body over with an ointment made from the leaves of this plant. 
S. asthiopicum is cultivated in China for the fruit, which is served at the tables of mandarins like our 
cherries. 
S. melongena, (M. from bydendjdn, its Arabic name, according to Forskahl) is cultivated both in Europe 
and the East and West Indies for its fruit, v, hich is used boiled, stewed in sauces, &c. like that of the love-ap- 
ple. The plant is more tender, and in this country requires to be matured under glass, like the balsam and 
other tender annuals. S. muricatum resembles it in habit, and may be cultivated for the same purfiose. 
452. Nycterium. From wxto?, night. A small tribe of plants cut off from their ancient genus Solanum. 
N. amazonium is quite a beautiful shrub, growing well in pots in a moderate stove. 
453. Capsicum. From x.a.'xlu, mordeo, to bite, on account of the biting heat of the seed and pericarp. 
Poivre d'Inde ou de Guinee, Fr. The fruit of C. baccatum, commonly called bird pepper, is gathered when
