TROP.i6i.uM, Linn. From tropaion, a trophy; the 
leaves resemble a buckler, and the flowers an empty 
helmet. Linn. 8, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Tropceolacece. All 
the species are very showy when in flower, and are 
therefore desirable acquisitions to every collection. 
The greenhouse and frame species thrive in any 
light rich soil ; and are readily increased by cut- 
tings in the same kind of soil, under a glass. The 
annual species should be sown in the open ground 
in spring. The tuberous-rooted kinds succeed well 
in the open air, in a sheltered situation, during 
summer ; in winter they may be taken up and kept 
in sand until spring, when they may be again 
planted out into the open ground. The seeds of 
T. majus are pickled, and used as capers, to which 
they are preferred by some. The roots of T. tube- 
rosum are eaten in Peru. Synonyms: 1. T. pere- 
grinum.

TrOphTs, Linn. From iropAe, fodder ; the leaves and

Trymai.Ium, Fsnzl. Not explained. Linn. 5, Or. 1, 
Nat. Or. Rhamnaceae. This species is well deserving 
of a place in every collection of greenhouse plants, 
on account of its snow-white flowers ; which, being 
produced in numerous loose, drooping panicles, 
render it a very beautiful object when in blossom ; 
its flowers are also deliciously fragrant. The wood 
is said to be soft and pithy, and the plant apt to die 
off in winter, if overpotted, and not kept in a warm 
and light situation : in other respects, it may be 
treated as the greenhouse species of Ceanothus.

Tuber, Michaux. An ancient Roman name for a 
fungus. Linn. 24, Or. 9, Nat. Or: Fungi. T. 
cibarium is the famous truffle, so celebrated in the 
annals of cookery. It grows under ground, and is 
found in light dry soils, in some of the southern 
counties; but it is much more common in Italy, 
Germany, and the south of France, whence immense 
quantities are imported. Dogs are taught to find 
this fungus by the smell, and to scratch it up out 
of the earth. An instance is recorded of a man 
having possessed this power. It is brought to the 
table boiled or stewed. It is reported to have a 
stimulating aphrodisiacal quality, which perhaps 
renders it more popular than its flavour, which is 
trifling. Loudon's Ency clop, of Plants — T. dlbidUm, 
cibdrinm.

Nat. Or. Liliacece. Interesting plants when in 
flower. They succeed well in sandy loam and peat, 
and are increased by offsets or seeds.

Tulipa, Tournefort. Said to be from Thoulyban, its 
Persian name. Linn. 6, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Liliacece. 
A genus of very celebrated and much prized 
florist’s flowers. They succeed well in rich loam 
and sand, and are increeised by offsets; new varieties 
are obtained from seed. The choicer kinds require 
to be taken up and dried after they have ceased 
flowering, and planted again in the autumn. They 
should be slightly protected in very rainy or frosty 
weather, or they'aie very liable to rot. Synonyms : 
1. T. acuminata.
