History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
is a very powerful drastic cathartic, requiring to be employed with caution, on account of its violent effects. 
When given alone, even in moderate doses, it purges vehemently, producing violent gripings, bloody ejections, 
and not unfrequently convulsions and inflammations of the bowels. {Thorn. Lond. Disp. 271.) 
C. sativus and Melo [fjt.iXov, an apple) are too well known to require farther notice in a work of this descrip- 
tion'. C. anguria has hispid angular stems, and small flowers like those of Bryony. The fruit is of the size 
and shape of a pullet's egg, of a dark-green color, and prickly like a hedgehog. It is eaten green, or with other 
herbs in soups in the West India Islands, and is esteemed an agreeable and wholesome ingredient. C. ])rophe- 
tarum has a striped fruit smaller than a melon ; the odor nauseous, and the taste as bitter as Coloqumtida. 
The fruit of C. acutangulus is very insipid, but in India is eaten boiled and pickled. C. Chate has a roundish 
fruit almost like that of the melon ; the taste is somewhat sweet and cool, but not so cool as the water melon. 
In Egypt it is eaten as the most pleasant fruit they have, and that from which delicate persons have least to 
apprehend. The culture of all the species is similar to that of the common cucumber.

are trailing plants like tho.se of Cucumis, but with much smaller fruits. 
2024. Bryonia. From Q^vm, to push or grow rapidly, in allusion to the manner of its growth. B. alba and 
dioica, differ in little else besides the color of the berries, and by some are considered one species. Goats are
