History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
823. Phormium. "From (po^fji^o;, a basket. This plant sends up numerous leaves, which in New Zealand 
and Norfolk Island are manufactured into matting ; or a coarse thread is separated from them and made into 
cordage and coarse linen, as is done from different species of Aloe, Agave, and Liliaceeein the Levant and south 
of Europe. The plant thrives in any rich light soil, increases readily by offtets, and is said to stand the open 
air about Cork, where thoughts are entertained of using it as a substitute for flax. The experiments, how- 
ever, which have been made in New Holland by some spirited individuals respecting its cultivation, have all 
failed. 
824. Cyanella. Derived from xvix,vo?, blue, in allusion to the color of the flowers of some species ; all are 
very pretty and easily cultivated. 
825. Leontice. An abridgment oZ Leontopetalum, its ancient name ; from Xiuv, a lion, and ^irotXov, a leaf, 
because the shape of the leaves was thought to resemble the print of a lion's foot 
826. Caulophyllum. From jsawAoi/, a stem, and <pi;AX«v, a leaf. Its leaves are so terminated by the stalk, as 
to appear a mere continuation of a stem. 
827. Diphylleia. From Si;, two, and q>v\Xov, a leaf. The plant has never more than two leaves. 
828. Prinos. This was the Greek name of the evergreen oak ; from ■r^ioo, to saw, on account of the 
strongly toothed leaves of that plant. The species are low shrubs of little beauty ; but of the easiest culture 
in any light soil. 
829. Berberis. Berberys, according to Golius, (p. 246), is the Arabic name of this plant B, vulgaris is at 
once an ornamental shrub, a fruit tree, a hedge plant, a dye, a drug, and a reputed enemy to the corn farmer. 
When covered with flowers in spring, or with fruit in autumn, it is a fine object. The leaves are of a 
yellowish or bluish green, and gratefully acid to the taste. The smell of the flowers is offensive when near, 
but pleasant at a certain distance. The berries are so very acid, that birds seldom touch them. The berberry, 
however, is cultivated for the sake of these, which are pickled and used for garnishing dishes ; and being 
boiled with sugar, form a most agreeable rob or jelly ; they are used likewise as a sweetmeat, and are put into 
sugar-plums or comfits. As a medicine the fruit is considered a mild restringent acid, agreeable to the 
stomach, and of efficacy (like other vegetable acids) in hot bilious disorders, and in a putrid disposition of the 
humours. The roots boiled in a lye yield a yellow colour : and in Poland they dye leather of a fine yellow
