herb, supposed to be this plant. Pliny mentions an Acanthus which covered part of his lawn, which some 
conjecture to be a moss, a thing very improbable in a climate and situation where the musci are seldom seen 
even in winter. 
The leaf of Acanthus mollis is supposed to have furnished the ancients with the elegant Acanthus leaf of 
their architecture. 
1302. Barleria. In honor of the Rev. James Barrelier, a Dominican, and M. D. of Paris, who travelled 
from France into Spain and Italy, and died aged sixty-eight, 1673 ; author of Icones, 1714, Paris, folio, a useful 
work, containing, even at the present day, figures of many things which are to be found nowhere else. The 
species flower freely and are of easy culture : loam and peat, with a little rotten dung mixed with it, is the 
best soil for them. Cuttings root freely ; they strike best from the young wood, under a hand-glass, in the 
same kind of soil as the plants grow in. {Bot. Cult. 21.) 
1303. Phaylofsis. Named by Willdenow, from (SeivKog, vile or contemptible, and u-J/;?, aspect Tropical 
weeds.

work De Natura Plantarum, in 1536, and Commentaries upon Dioscorides, in 1516. The species are pretty 
plants, free flowers, and of the easiest culture and propagation.
