Isnarda. Antoine Tristan Danti d'Isnard was a French botanist, professor at the Jardin du Roi, and member of the Academy of Sciences, to which he communicated many memoirs upon plants from 1716 to 1724. An obscure marsh plant. 259. Elceagnus. From o.aia., an olive : the tree having a striking resemblance to the olive tree. E. angus- tifolia is a low tree with elegant silvery leaves and a brown bark, but not of long duration. All the hardy spe- cies are commonly propagated by layers; but according to Sweet and Haynes, cuttings will strike if taken off at a joint in ripened wood, and planted in a sheltered situation early in autumn. The green-house and stove species strike in sand under a bell-glass. 260. Globvlaria. From the flowers being packed in globose heads. The species called Al ypum has been so named from a, privative, and Autnj, pain ; used by way of antiphrasis, according to Dalechamp, because it is a dangerous purgative. Bauhin even calls it Frutex terribuis ; but Clusius says, it was used by the Spanish quacks of his day as a cure for venereal diseases. It is however doubtful whether the Alypon of the old botanists is the same with the plant so called by the moderns. Cuttings of the shrubby green-house species, taken offbefore they begin to make new shoots, root freely in loam and peat under a bell-glass, and in moderate bottom heat. The hardy and herbaceous kinds may be propagated from seeds, or divided like daisies. Miller says, they prefer a shady situation and a moist loamy soil; but Sweet recommends a light sandy soil. The leaves of most of the species dry black. 261. Houstonia. Named after Dr. Wm. Houston, the friend and correspondent of Miller: he died in 1733. The plants are small, elegant in their habits, and very fit for pots or rockwork.$
