History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
affords a fine deep blue color, destructible, however, both by acids and alkalies. It has been observed that the 
male and female plants are seldom found intermixed, each sort usually growing in large patches ; whence it is 
probable that this plant, which increases much by the root, rarely produces perfect seeds. M. annua was 
formerly accounted medicinal ; its seeds taste like those of hemp. 
2089. Hydrocharis. From vIm^, water, and x"-^^^^ grace. This little plant is one of the prettiest ornaments 
of still waters. This plant increases by runners, which shoot out to a great length, and at the joints drop down 
l(mg roots, which penetrate deep into the mud. The joints are furnished with pendulous buds, supported on 
long footstalks. The buds consist of two stipulaceous scales folded together, within which are curiously 
enveloped the embryo leaves of the future plant. 
209U. Triplaris. All the parts of the fructification are in threes or triple. T. americana is a tree forty feet 
high, with a dense pyramidal head. The leaves are oblong, entire, smooth, a span long. The branches are 
often hollow, and are then filled with an innumerable quantity of little red ants, which are often showered 
down upon any incautious traveller who may stand under the shade of the tree, and whom they bite severely. 
{Biedemeyer.) 
2(J91. Coriaria. A tanner's plant ; from corium, a hide. Coriaria myrtifolia has handsome leaves, but very 
little beauty in the flowers. It is considerably astringent, and is used not only in tanning leather, but in dying 
black colors. It produces abundance of suckers. 
2092. Kiggelaria. Named after Francis Kiggelar, an obscure botanist, who lived at the end of the seven- 
teenth century. An uninteresting plant. Ripened cuttings strike in heat under a hand-glass. 
2093. Schinus. This was the Greek name of the Pistacia Lentiscus. It is now applied to an American genus 
which resembles Pistacia in sensible properties. The word molle, applied to one species, does not allude to any 
softness in the plant which bears the name, but is a slight alteration of the Peruvian word fmilli. Fragrant 
shrubs with beautiful foliage, easily cultivated in a cold conservatory or out of doors in a warm sheltered 
place. 
2094. Gymnocladus. From yvju-vo;, naked, and xXa^o;, a shoot, on account of the naked appearance of its 
strange rigid shoots during the winter. This tree or shrub has pinnate leaves nearly a foot and a half long; 
both leaves and stalks are armed with thorns. The stalks at first grow erect, but afterwards twine about the 
neighbouring trees and shrubs. It is best propagated by cuttings of the roots.
