mulcent, and may answer the purposes of the acacia gum ; being even better adapted for allaying tickling cough, 
and sheathing the fauces in catarrhal affections, owing to its great viscidity. It is chiefly, however, employed 
for pharmaceutical purposes. {Thomson'' s London Dispensatory, IHl .) The seeds of A. boeticus are roasted,

1597. Psoralea. From -i^uoaXio?, warted, on account of the numerous little tubercles with which most of 
the species are covered. The species are chiefly low shrubs ; some of them are ornamental, and all are of easy 
culture and propagation by young cuttings in sand or seeds, which they produce in abundance. P. esculenta, 
the bread-root of America, is cultivated in Missouri, and other parts of that country. In this climate it will
