be well founded. * 
+ The root of the arum maculatum , which is a native of Britain* in its recent 
state is very acrimonious* but when thoroughly dried* becomes a farinaceous ali¬ 
ment* and may be made into wholesome bread ; it is also prepared as a starch; and 
when dried and powdered, it is used by the French to wash the skin, as a cos¬ 
metic, which is sold at a high price under the name of Cypress povjder : these 
roots are also said to possess a saponaceous quality, and have been usediustead of 
soap, for washing linen.
