History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
1331. Pedalium. Ui^deiXiov, a Greek word signifying a nail or point. This plant produces a hard and 
nut-like fruit with four sharp points or horns. 
1332. Myoporum. From ju,vM, to shut up, and iro^os, a pore ; the spots which cover the leaves being, as it 
were, pores closed with some semi-transparent substance. 
1333. Stenochilus. From rivo^, narrow, and x'-'^"^' ^ liP ; the narrow lip distinguishing this genus from 
some of its kindred. Very pretty New Holland small shrubs, with fine red flowers. 
1334. Bontia. James Bont or Bontius was a Dutch physician, born at Batavia, published in 1658, a natural 
history of the East Indies, in tlie manner of Piso. A South American plant, with the appearance of a 
Daphne. The leaves are alternate, fleshy, and crenated, and the flowers axillary. 
1335. Orobanche. So called from opoZcg, a vetch, or other leguminous plant, and <»>-y£<v, to strangle^ in 
allusion to the well known effect of these parasites in destroying the plants upon whicn they grow. 
The 
species are fleshy herbs of a russet color, fastening themselves to the roots of other plants, and chiefly to 
Leguminosae. The root is tuberous, imbricate with scales, and sends out fibres into the soil ; the stem is 
without leaves, scaly, and generally simple : the flowers are in terminating spikes. The whole plant is acrid 
and astringent, and rejected by all animals, excepting the minuter tribes of Cimices and Thripses. 
O. major adheres to the root of broom, furze, and clover, and is particularly destructive to the latter, 
especially in Flanders, where in some places it deters the farmer altogether from the culture of clover. It has 
a large, thick, fleshy, oval, scaly root, sometimes bulbous, and sending out fibres which are very brittle. The 
bulb adheres to the woody roots of furze or broom, and the fleshy root of clover, and the fibres clasp round 
them. 
O. elatior is commonly found adhering to the roots of Centaurca scabiosa and Trifolium pratense. It docs
