OxYCoccus, Richard. From oxys, sharp, and kokkos, 
a berry ; sharp acid taste of the berries. Linn. 8, 
Or. 1, Nat. Or. Ericacea. The Cranberry is a well- 
known genus of plants. O. palustris grows in most 
turfy mossy bo^s in the mountainous parts of Britain, 
the berries being very much sought after. When 
the plants are grown for the sake of the fruit, they 
should be planted on an artificial bog, but when 
grown only for having specimens, they will do in 
pots well drained, and filled with peat and sand, 
with some sph^num moss about their roots, and 
placed in pans of water. Synonymes : 1.0. erythro-

These plants are very handsome when in flower, 
and are well adapted for ornamenting rock-work, 
or the front of flower-borders. The seed should be 
sown where the plants are intended to grow, as 
they seldom thrive after transplanting. The rarer 
kinds may be grown in pots well drained, in a mix- 
ture of peat, sand, and a little loam, and treated as 
other alpine plants. Synonymes: 1. Astragalus 
Halleri. 2. O. Gmelini. 3. Astragalus montanus.
