History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
so called. Shrubs with membranaceous inflated pods, free-grovirers and flowerers, well adapted to introduce in 
extensive shrubberies. 
C. arborescens grows on Mount Vesuvius, even in the ascent to the crater, where there are scarcely any 
other plants. The leaves are recommended as answering all the purposes of senna, and Allioni has given 
particular directions for the preparation of them. A larger dose seems to be required to produce the same 
effect. The seeds^ in a quantity of a drachm or two, excite vomiting. It is said by Haller and Ray to afford 
food grateful to cattle. 
1574. Glycyrrhiza. From yXv^vg, sweet, and oiZct, a root ; the sweet taste of the liquorice root is well 
known. But the species from which the name is derived now constitutes a different genus. See Liquiritia. 
1575. Liquorifia. A Latinized appearance of our common English word Liquorice, which in its turn is said 
to be an alteration or corruption of the French word Reglisse, itself a corruption of Glycyrrhiza. So, at least, 
says De Theis. To others, however, it is appears more probable that the name alludes to the quantity of liquor 
or liquid which the roots contain, and which constitutes their great value. 
L. officinalis is a deep-rooting perennial, which has long been much cultivated in Spain ; and since Elizabeth'.'? 
time has been grown in different parts of England. The soil should be a deep sandy loam, trenched by the 
spade or plough, or with the aid of both, to two and a half or three feet in depth, and manured, if necessary. The 
plants are procured from old plantations, and consist of the side-roots, which have ej'es or buds. These may 
be taken off, either in autumn, when a crop of liquorice is taken up for use, and laid in earth till spring ; or 
taken from a growing plantation, as wanted for planting. The planting season may be either October, or 
February and March. In general the latter is preferred. The plants are dibbled in, in rows three feet apart, 
and from eighteen inches to two feet in the row, according to the richness of the soil. The after-culture con- 
sists in horse-hoeing and deep stirring, in weeding, and in cutting over and carrying away the haulm every 
autumn, after it is completely withered. As the plants do not rise above a foot the first season, a crop of 
onions or beans is sometimes taken in the intervals. The plants must have three summers' growth, at the
