History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
1145. Tetragonia. From t£t§«?, quaternary, and yayioc, an angle, in allusion to the four angles of the bony 
pericarpium. The species are succulent trailers of no beauty, but possibly all fit to be used, like Chenopodium, 
as a spinage. T. expansa has been so used by Captain Cook when visiting New Zealand, and lately intro- 
duced for the same purpose in British gardens ; as a summer spinage, it is as valuable as the orache, or perhaps 
more so. Every gardener knows the plague that attends the frequent sowing of common spinage through the 
the warm season of the year ; without that trouble it is impossible to have it good, and with the utmost care 
it cannot always be obtained exactly as it ought to be, (particularly when the weather is hot and dry,) from 
the rapidity with which the you.ng plants run to seed. The New Zealand spinage, if watered, grows freely, 
and produces leaves of the greatest succulency in the hottest weather. Anderson, one of its earliest 
cultivators, had only nine plants, from which, he says, " I have been enabled to send in a gathering for the 
kitchen every other day since the middle of June, so that I consider a bed with about twenty plants quite 
sufficient to give a daily supply, if required, for a large table."
