author of Hortus Wittebergensis, 1711-13. Very neat North American plants, requiring the culture of alpine 
piants. 
607. Cussonia. In memory of Cusson, a celebrated botanist, who after laboring to complete the order of 
umbellate plants, had all his labor annihilated by his wife, who in his absence used the paper upon which his 
plants had been glued for household purposes. It is a genus of easy culture, and readily increased by cuttings 
planted in sand and placed under a hand-glass. 
608. Anabasis. One of the names given by the Greeks to the Equisetum. A small plant, quite similar to 
some species of Chenopodiurn. 
609. Salsola. From salsus, salt. From these plants, which are chiefly maritime, is obtained the kelp of our 
shores. This is a genus of plants producing the alkaline salts called barilla, soda, potash, and kelp. Most of 
them are herbaceous and annual, but some have shrubby stems. 
S. kali, {Qaly or alqaly, Arabic. Bochart,) is found on the sandy shores of most parts of the world, and is very 
generally ourned for soda for the glass manufacture. 
S. soda is cultivated in Languedoc and also in Spain for making barilla ; but is reckoned inferior to S. sativa, 
which grows on the Spanish shores of the Mediterranean, and affords all the best soda consumed in Europe. 
It is called by us Spanish oi Alicant soda. In September, the crop is cut and laid in small heaps to dry. These 
heaps are then collected and burned, forty or fifty of them in a hole, in the ground. 
Soda is in common use in the manufacture of glass and soap ; with sulphuric acid, it forms Glauber's salts ; 
with marine acid, common salt ; with the salt of Romberg, borax ; and with cream of tartar, Rochelle salt. 
610, Kochia. A genus divided from Salsola by Roth, and named by him after his friend Koch, a German 
botanist.
