stalks. Leaves semi-cylindrical, flatted above, loose underneath at the

* A decoction of the leaves in milk is a forcible diuretic. It has been given with success 
to cure the hemorrhoids. Cows, goats, sheep, and swine eat it; horses refuse it. (The 
caterpillar of Phalcena alpicola feeds on its leaves. The beauty of Orpine gains it admit¬ 
tance into gardens, where it often flourishes to a great size. So retentive of vitality is this 
Live-long, that lathed frames covered with it have been adopted as chimney boards, and if 
sprinkled with water once a week will continue in verdure for months. E.)
