TRACHEA, in Anatomy, the wind-pipe (from t 
agTrigia, Gr.], a rough tube containing air (rough from its 
cartilaginous rings), whence the Latin asperia arteria. It 
is the tube conveying air into the lungs, and commencing at 
the root of the tongue. 
TRACHEAE is the appellation given by Malpighi, Grew, 
&c., to the large spiral-coated vessels of plants; which, 
being generally found filled with air only, are likewise 
termed air-vessels. The discoveries of Dr. Darwin, Mr. 
Knight, and others, have shewn them rather to be sap- 
vessels, and that the empty state in which they are usually 
found, is owing to their contents having been expelled on 
dissection, by the elasticity and irritability of their coats. 
Such is known to be the fact with regard to the arteries of 
animals.

Propagation and Culture. —This plant is propagated by 
seeds, which should be sown in autumn when they are ripe. 
When the plants come up, they should be kept clean from 
weeds, and as soon as they are big enough to remove, they 
should be transplanted on an east-aspected border of light 
undunged earth, placing them in rows six inches apart, and 
four inches distant in the rows, shading them from the sun 
till they have taken new root; after which they require no 
other care but to keep them clean from weeds till autumn, 
when they may be transplanted into the borders of the 
flower-garden, where they will flower the following summer.
