T R O P ^ O L Q M , Linn, From tropaion, a trophy; the
leaves resemble a buckler, and the flowers an empty
helmet. Linn. 8, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Tropceolacece. All
the species are very showy when in iiower, and are
therefore desirable acquisitions to every collection.
The greenhouse and frame species thrive in any
light rich soil; and are readily increased by cuttings
in the same kind of soil, under a glass. The
annual species should be sown in the open ground
in spring. The tuberons-rooted kinds succeed well
in the open air, in a sheltered situation, during
summer; in winter tiiey may be taken up and kept
in sand until spring, when they may be again
planted out into the open ground. The seeds of
T. viajns are pickled, and used as capers, to which
they arc preferred by some. The roots of T. tubevosinn
are eaten in Peru.

produced in numerous loose, drooping panicles,
render it a very beautiful object when in blossom;
its flowers are also deliciously fragrant . The wood
is said to be soft and pithy, and the plant apt to die
off in winter, if overpotted, and not kept in a warm
and light situation: in other respects, it may be
t r e a t e d as the greenhouse species of Ceanothus.

TuBiiR, Michaux. An ancient Roman name for a

cibarium is the famous truffle, so celebrated in the
annals of cookery. It grows under ground, and is
found in light dry soils, in some of the southern
counties; but it is much more common in Italy,
Germany, and the south of France, whence immense
quantities are imported. Dogs are taught to find
this fungus by the smell, and to seratch it up out
of the earth. An instance is recorded of a man
having possessed this power. It is brought to the
table boiled or stewed. It is reported to have a
stimulating aphrodisiacal quality, which perhaps
renders it more popular than its iiavour, which is
trifling. Loudon's Encyclop, of Plants—T. albidumy
