* The root of polygonum, listorta (bistort) is one of the strongest vegetable bit¬ 
ters. (See tOTvnentillq). The stamens are uncertain as to number. The polygonum 
viviparum (viviparous bistort) receives its name from its producing (after impreg¬ 
nation) a living offspring of buds instead of seed, which, when ripe, fall to the 
.ground and grow.—The same occurs in the allium magicum (the magic onion) 
and other bulbiferous plants $ only, the one bears buds, and the other bulbs.
