awlshape; capsule 3-valved. — Plant acrid, caustic, supposed 
to occasion the rot in sheep, and curdles milk, juice re- 
moves warts and corns ; infusion in milk takes away freckles 
and sunburn; distilled with wine produces a very stimu- 
lating spirit, or may be made into a tincture, spiced and 
sweetened; formerly much used. Leaf-hairs support glo- 
bules of liquor even in the hottest weather, are very irrita- 
ble, and close upon small insects that touch them, after 
which the leaf itself bends and holds the dead insect im- 
prisoned.
