and Miscellaneous Particulars. 
Italian painters after him, have put it into the hand of Christ as a sceptre, when he was saluted as a king in 
mockery by Herod's soldiers. The plant appears to be a native of every part of the world, in ponds, ditches, 
and by the sides of rivers and brooks. 
1946. Sparganium. From a-:ra,^y(x,vov, a band, in reference to the long ribbon-like leaves of the plants. 
Sparganium ramosum is the commonest species ; it has a strong creeping root, and soon fills up a ditch or 
pond, if suffered to remain unmolested. It is common not only in Europe, but in Barbary, Siberia, and North 
America. 
1947. Carex. From the Latin carerc, to want. The upper spikes of these plants are constantly without 
seeds, consisting only of male flowers. This numerous family of plants grow mostly in wet swampy grounds,
