Bladder-Senna.— Colutea. 
The curious, inflated, and bladder-like le¬ 
gumes of this shrub being frequently made the 
toy of idle moments, have induced the French 
to name it Bagaenaudier. M. Pirolle says, 
“ Fruit dans des vessies rougeatres qu’on fait 
claquer par la pression pour baguenauder, 
d’ou son nom.” 
“ Triflers not e’en in trifles can excel; 
’Tis solid bodies only polish well.”
