ViBUBNUM, Linn. Said to be from wieo, to tie; because 
of the pliability of some of the branches. Linn. 5, 
Or. 3, Nat. Or. Caprifoliacece. The species of Vi- 
burnum are all very elegant, rather early-flowering 
shrubs. The hardy kinds are well fitted for planting 
in ornamental shrubberies. They are increased by 
layers, or by cuttings, planted under a glass, in a 
shady situation. The fruit becomes eatable after 
fermentation, and is made into a sort of cake by the 
North American Indians. Synonymes .• 1. V. squa-

VIcTa, TourntforL From vincio, to bind together; 
because the species have tendrils by which they 
bind other plants. Linn. 17, Or. 4, Nat. Or. Legu- 
minosce. Some of the species of this genus are well 
worth cultivating in the flower border for the 
beauty of their flowers. They are of the easiest 
culture in any common garden soil. The perennial 
kinds may be readily increased by dividing the 
root or by seeds. The seeds of the annual kinds 
only require to be sown in the open border in spring. 
V. saliva and its varieties are extensively cultivated, 
and well known by the common name of vetch or 
tares ; they are used as fiod for all kinds of cattle, 
and are allowed to be more nutritive and profitable 
than hay or any other herbage. Synonymes : 1. V.
