Euphorbia. Linnaeus named this genus after Eu- 
phorbus, a physician to Juba, King of Mauritania. 
Linn. 11, Or. 3, Nat. Or. Euphorbiacea. This is 
an exceedingly variable, and very extensive genus 
of plants, comprising a number of very handsome 
species, as well as a number that are entirely un- 
worthy of cultivation. Many of the stove and 
greenhouse species are of a succulent nature, there- 
fore require to be grown in a dry soil, consisting 
of loam, and old brick and lime rubbish ; they re- 
quire but little water ; those that are not of a suc- 
culent nature require a light rich soil, and plenty 
of moisture. They all abound in a milky juice. 
Sweet says, “ The way we have succeeded best in 
striking the cuttings, is to stick them in the tan 
among the pots, in a good heat, and not cover them 
with any glass ; but the best way of getting good 
plants is from seed, which will ripen plentifully if 
care he taken to fertilize the stigmas with the 
pollen when in bloom." The hardy perennitil spe- 
cies thrive in any common garden soil, and increase 
by divisions of the roots, or by seeds. The hardy 
annuals and biennials merely require sowing in 
the open ground. The tender kinds must be sown 
in the hothouse, or in a hotbed frame, and when 
potted off, must be set with other tender annuals 
and biennials. The root of E. Ipecacuanha is said 
to be equal to the true Ipecacuanha. E. antiquorum, 
canariensis, and some other fleshy species, produce 
the drug Euphorbium, which is the inspissated 
milky juice of such plants. The native practi- 
tioners of India prescribe internally the juice of 
the leaves of nereifolia as a purge and deohstruent. 
The Tamool doctors of India give the leaves and 
seeds of E. thymifolia in worm cases. In India, 
the fresh acrid juice of E. Tirucalli is used as a 
vesicatory. The juice of E. heptagona, according 
to Virey, furnishes the Ethiopians with a deadly 
poison for their arrows. Synonymes : 1. E.bupleu-
