and Miscellaneous Particulars. 
1231. Knorxiltonia. Named after Thomas Knowlton, once the curator of the botanic garden at Eltham. 
The species grow freely in loam and peat, and are increased by dividing at the root, and by seeds. 
1232. Ficaria. So named because the grumous roots bear tubercles like little figs. A common wood plant, 
remarkable for its shining leaves and bright yellow flowers. The young leaves are sometimes used as greens 
in Sweden, and the roots were formerly applied in poultices to piles in England, probably from their resem- 
blance to that disease. These roots or tubercles lie near the surface, and are sometimes laid bare by the rains, 
and in this state have induced the ignorant, under the iafluence of superstition, to fancy that it rained 
wheat. The plant is injurious in moist grass lands, but is effectually destroyed by a dressing of coal or wood, 
ashes.
