History, Use, Propagation, Culture^ 
1534. Goodia. In memory of Peter Good, an industrious gardener employed by the Kew garden in collect- 
ing seeds in New Holland, where he died. 
153.5. Loddigesia. Named in compliment to Mr. Conrad Loddiges, a successful cultivator of plants, an 
assiduous collector, and a most worthy man, whose virtues are inherited by his sons. 
1536. Hovea. In honor of Mr. Antony Pantaleon Hove, a Polish botanist, who travelled in the Crimea and 
Persia, whence many plants were sent to Kew garden. He is still alive, and naturalized in England. Pretty 
plants, easily cultivated in sandy loam and peat, and rooted in sand uader a hand-glass. 
1337. Spartium. From iT7ra,^Tov, cordage ; the earliest ropes were made of this and similar tough plants. 
The species are shrubs thick-set with verdant flexible rush-like twigs, which are very ornamental in 
winter, and generally profusely covered with shewy white or yellow odoriferous and mellifluous blossoms in 
summer. S. juneeum is grown as a green food for sheep in the south of France, and there and in Spain it 
affords a thread from its fibres, whicli is sometimes wove into cloth, but more generally twisted into cordage. 
Bees are very fond of the flowers, as they are of those of most of the species. 
S. monospermum, is a very handsome shrub, remarkable for its numerous snow-white flowers. 
Osbeck remarks, tliat it grows like willow-bushes along the shore of Spain, as far as the flying sands reach, 
where scarcely any other plant exists except the Ononis repens, or creeping Restharrow. The use of this 
shrub is very great in stopping the sand. The leaves and young branches are delicious food for goats. It 
converts the most barren spot into a fine odoriferous garden by its flowers, which continue a long time. It 
serves lo shelter hogs and goats against the scorching heat of the sun. The twigs are used for tying bundles ; 
and all kinds of herbs that are brought to market are fastened together with them. J"orskahl found it in 
Arabia j and Desfontaines in Barbary, on the sandy coast. The Spaniards call it Retamas, from the Arabic 
name Rcetatn.
