on rock-work, in any common soil. Synonyme :

SojA, Mcench. From sooja, the name given to a sauce 
prepared from the seeds in Japan. Linn. 17, Or. 4,

be sown in a warm sheltered situation in May, or 
raised with the tender annuals, and afterwards 
planted out. Synonyme: 1. Dolichos Soja.

SolandrX, Linn. In honour of Daniel Charles Sol- 
ander, LL.D., F.R S , a Swede, companion of Sir 
Joseph Banks in his voyage round the world, and 
collector of the botanical notes made during that 
expedition. They are preserved in the British 
Museum, and exhibit great learning and deep 
research. Linn. 5, Or. 1, Nat. Or. SoZannccte. This 
is a splendid genus of plants ; the foliage being very 
fine, and the flowers large, like those of the Brug- 
munsia. The best way to induce them to flower is 
to grow them in two parts turfy loam, and one of 
peat, liberally applying heat and water till they 
have perfected a good growth ; then gradually 
withhold water until the leaves drop off from 
drought, and they will flower profusely. Ciittings, 
planted in mould or tan, will root without any 
difficulty. Those taken from the flowering shoots 
are more likely to produce flowers while small, 
grandiflora ... Pa. vel. . 3, S. Ev. Cl Jamaica . 1731

SoLANUM, Linn. The derivation of this word is quite 
uncertain ; .some derive it from Sol, the sun ; others 
say it is Snlanum, from Sue, being serviceable in 
disorders of swine ; and others assert that it is from 
Solar to comfort, referring to its soothing narcotic 
effects. Linn. 5, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Solanacece. All 
the more showy species of this extensive genus 
thrive best in a light, rich soil, and are readily in- 
creased by seeds, or by cuttings, in sand, under a 
glass. A great number of them are highly deserving 
of cultivation, -on account of their ornamental ap- 
pearance. The seeds of the tender annual species 
should be raised on a hotbed, and planted out in the 
open ground about the end of May in a sheltered, 
dry situation. S. tuberosum is that well-known and 
invaluable root, the potato, which, in a state of 
putrefaction, is said to give out a most v’ivid light, 
sufficient to read by. This was particularly re- 
marked by an officer on guard at Strasburg, who 
thought the barracks were on fire, in consequence 
of the light thus emitted from a cellar full of potatoes. 
S. nigrum and some others are highly virulent 
poisons. S. Dulcamara is a very dangerous plant; 
when first bruised or chewed it is bitter, which 
quickly gives place to a considerable degree of 
sweetness, hence its name Dulcamara or Bitter- 
sweet. The berries may be readily taken for 
currants by children ; they excite vomiting and 
catharsis. Floyer states that thirty of them killed 
a dog in less than three hours, remaining undigested 
in the stomach. Synonymes : 1. Nycterium ama-
