Crattsva. In honor of Cratsvus, a Greek botanist and contemporary of Hippocrates. C. Tapia, an American name, produces a fruit about the size of an orange, with a mealy pulp and a strong smell of garlic, which is communicated to the animals that feed on it. All the species; prefer a rich loamy soil, and may be increased by cuttings in sand under a hand-glass. 1087. Triumfetta. So named by Plumier, in memory of Giov. Battista Triumfetti, prefect of the botanic garden at Rome, author of Hortus Romanus, 1681, and other works. T. semitriloba has a tough strong bark which serves for ropes and other conveniences of that kind in the inland parts of the West Indies. The whole plant is mucilaginous and emollient. Cuttings root in sand under a hand-glass. All the species are uninteresting weed-like shrubs of tropical countries. 1088. Peganum. Th\yavm was the Greek name of the rue, which the modern plant resembles. Harmala is the Arabic name (hharmel) of the species so called. The species are of easy culture and propagation in any light soiL 1089. Hudsonia. So named by Linnjeus, in honor of William Hudson, apothecary of London, F. R. S., and author of Flora Anglica, 1762 and 1778, octavo. It is a heath-like plant which grows in peat soil, and young cuttings are rooted in sand under a bell-glass. It is extremely rare in gardens. 1090. Nitraria. So named by Schreber, who first found it in Siberia near the nitre works, with other saline vegetables. This is a curious thorny shrub, peculiar to the salt deserts of Siberia. Pallas informs us, that the berries, though saltish and insipid, are eaten in the Caspian desert, but in that arid soil they are almost the only luxury. Camels feed on the twigs. Linnsus had the shrub twenty years before it flowered in Sweden;
