in a few minutes the fish that lie hid under the rocks or banks rise to the surface, where they float as if they 
were dead ; most of the large ones recover after a time, but the smaller fry are destroyed. The eel is not in- 
toxicated with common doses, though it is affected very sensibly ; for the moment the particles spread where 
it lies, it moves off" with great agility. Jacquin observes that this quality of intoxicating fish is found in many 
other American plants. 
It is a very free grower in our stoves, but is seldom allowed to grow large enough to flower. Cuttings root 
in sand under a hand-glass. 
1525. Platylobium. From TrXocrv;, broad, and Ac/So?, a pod, in allusion to the form of the pod. Handsome 
free-flowering plants, which grow in sandy loam and peatj and are increased by cuttings in sand under a 
hand-glass, or by seeds. 
1526. Borbonia. In memory of Gaston Bourbon, Duke of Orleans, son of Henry IV. of France, a great 
lover and patron of botany. See Gastonia. Shrubs of easy culture and propagation. 
1527. Rafnia. Named, according to Sir James Smith, after Mr. C. G. Rafn of Copenhagen, author of a Flora 
of Denmark and Holstein, published in 1796 and 1800, in two octavo volumes. A genus of Cape plants, sepa- 
rated from the Linnean Crotalaria and Liparia. 
1528. Aspalathus. A native of the island Aspalathus on the coast of Lycia. It was a common practice with 
the ancients to fix the names of places upon certain plants, as Cytisus, Lycium, and others. It is not cer- 
tain what plant the ancients intended by their Aspalathus. Shrubs and under-shrubs, with fasciculate linear 
leaves, and yellow flowers, all of which grow freely in a mixture of sandy loam and peat; and young cuttings, 
planted in sand under bell-glasses will strike root freely, if the glasses are wiped occasionally, otherwise they 
are liable to damp off! Some species ripen seeds freely, by which young plants are readily produced. {Bot Cult.
