History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
815. Tropceolum. From tropceum, a trophy. The leaf resembles a buckler, and the flower an empty helmet, 
of which trophies were formed. T. majus is an ornamental annual, and also a culinary plant. The 
flowers are eaten in salads, and are very grateful : they are also used as a garnish. The seeds, which consist 
of three conjoined berries or nuts, with grooved wrinkled gibbous husks that become fungous when dry, are 
pickled in salt and vinegar, and used as a substitute for capers, to which some prefer them. In the evening 
the flowers emit spontaneously at certain intervals visible sparks like those of an electric machine. This was 
first observed by the daughter of Linnaeus. 
876. Roxburghia. In honor of William Roxburgh, M. D. born in Scotland, and settled in the East Indies ; 
author of a splendid work on the plants of the coast of Coromandel. A singular plant, the natural affinities of 
which are yet obscure ; it grows in loam and peat, and may be increased, though but slowly, by dividing at the root. 
877. Grislea. So named after G. Grisley, a Portuguese surgeon, author of Viridarium Lusitanicum, 1661. 
A free flowering shrub of considerable beauty ; it grows in loam and peat, and cuttings root in sand under a 
hand-glass in heat. 
878. Boronia. So named after Francis Borone, an Italian servant of Dr.Sibthorp, who perished from an accident 
at Athens. Pretty little New Holland plants, generally with red flowers. These are valuable plants, as flowering 
nearly all the year. " They thrive best in sandy peat, with the pots well drained with broken potsherds. 
They may be propagated by layers or ripened cuttings, taken off at a joint and planted in sandy peat, and 
placed under a bell-glass, will strike root, if properly managed : the glass must be taken off occasionally to dry 
them, as they are very liable to damp off." 
879. Tetratheca. From nre^a,, four, and ^y,x'/i, a cell, in allusion to the four cells of the anthers, for which 
the plants are remarkable. Cuttings root in sand under a bell-glass. 
880. CorrcBa. So named after Joseph Correa de Serra, a learned Portuguese, who, without publishing much, 
was one of the most profound theoretical botanists of this age. He died at Lisbon m 1823. " Ripened cuttings
