History, Use, Propagation, Culture^ • 
900. Rhcvia. A Greek name employed by Pliny to designate a Boragineous plant. It is derived from 
piTtreo, to burst ; that is to say, good against ruptures. The hardy species thrive best in a bed of peat : or 
they will grow very well in pots. 
901. (Enothcra. Derived from oivo;, wine, and ^riou, to hunt. The roots of this plant, O. biennis, eaten 
after meals, are incentives to wine-drinking, as olives arc. This is an ornamental genus of easy culture in 
light rich soil, and they increase either by seeds or cuttings. O. biennis is called the night primrose, because 
the flowers usually open between six and seven o'clock in the evening. The mode of their expanding is 
curious. The petals are held together at top by the hooks at the end of the calyx, the segments of which 
first separate at bottom and discover the corolla, a long time before it acquires sufficient exi)ansive force to 
unhook the calyx at top ; when it has accomplished this, it expands very fast, almost instantaneously, to a 
certain point, and then makes a stop, taking a little time to spread out quite flat : it may be half an hour from 
the first bursting of the calyx at bottom to the final expansion of the corolla; which commonly becomes 
flaccid in the course of the next day, sooner or later according to the heat or coolness of the weather. The
