foot in length. L. Selago is used in Skye, and some other places, to fix colours in dying, mstead of alum. The 
Highlanders employ it in infusion as an emetic and cathartic ; but it operates violently, and, unless taken in a 
small dose, brings on giddiness and convulsions. Linnseus says, the Swedes use a decoction of it to destroy lice 
on swine and other animals. All the species may be cultivated in a light peaty soil, but they require an 
abundance of moisture. 
2213. PsUotum. From -^iXo;, naked. This is a little bushy evergreen herbaceous plant of no beauty. Its 
branches are 3-cornered, and altogether destitute of leaves. The thecce appear from the little indentations of 
the branches, and are of a whitish- yellow color. It is easily cultivated in a little peat and sand, but it has no 
merit except as an object of curiosity.
