History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
505. Paliurus. JJaXtueos is the Greek name of a place. The city of Paliurus was situated on the coast of 
Africa over against Candia. Paliurus australis is a handsome free flowering, but very prickly shrub : it has broad 
roundish buckler-shaped seed-vessels, which have borders like the brims of a hat, the footstalks being fastened 
to the middle. From this singular appearance of the fruit, like a head with a broad-brimmed hat on, the 
French call it porte chapeau. This shrub is by many persons supposed to be that from which the crown of 
thorns which was put upon the head of Jesus Christ was composed ; the truth of which is supported by many 
travellers of credit, who affirm that this is one of the most common shrubs in the country of Judea; and from 
the pliableness of its branches, which may easily be wrought into any figure, it may afford a probability. 
Hasselquist, however, is of opinion, that it was a species of Rhamnus, called therefore by Linnsus R. Spina 
Christi. 
506. Zixyphus. A name altered by the Greeks from asaffa, its name in the East. Vide Shaw's Voyage, 
47. Suppl. It is called 2220?^/ in Arabic, GoUus. Z. Lotus, is the true Lotus of the Lotophagi. It is a prickly 
branching shrub, with alternate, small, blunt, three-nerved leaves, solitary flowers, and the fruit a spherical 
drupe, the size of a wild plum, sweet and harmless ; inclosing a small, round, bony, two-celled nucleus ; first 
green, but when ripe tinged with saffron-color. It is found on the eastern as well as the western extremity of 
the African desert ; and Major Rennel thinks he has seen it on the Ganges. Dr. Shaw found the fruit com- 
mon in Barbary ; it was sold in the markets, cattle fed with it, and a liquor drawn from it. Mr. Park found it 
very common in all the kingdoms which he visited : he describes the fruit as small farinaceous berries, of a 
yellow color and delicious taste. The natives, he says, convert them into a sort of bread, by exposing them 
some days to the sun, and afterwards pounding them gently in a wooden mortar, until the farinaceous part is 
separated from the stone. This meal is then mixed with a little water, and formed into cakes, which, when 
dried in the sun, resemble in color and flavor the sweetest gingerbread. A gruel is next made from the meal 
which still adheres to the stones. The Greeks supposed the people who ate the lotus to be confined to an 
extent of sea-coast on the north of Africa, including the gulphs of Syrtes. The plant grows readily in our 
greenhouses, and might be fruited if thought desirable. It is propagated by ripened cuttings planted in sand 
under a hand-glass.
