all weeds, inliabiting various parts of Europe
and Asia. The Miguonette (Resèda odor àia) is
a familiar example of their habits,
B e s Ì ]DAj Linn. From resedOj to. calm or appease
; the Latins considered its application
useful in external bruises. Linn. 11, Or. 3,
iN^at. Or. Rescdàcece. The Mignonette is an
old and universal favourite, on account of the
very pleasant odour emitted by the flowers.
In summer it merely requires the treatment of
other hardy annuals ; but to obtain flowering
plants through the winter and spring months^
two other sowings must be made ; to obtain
ilowering plants from December to March, the
seeds should be sown about the middle of July
upon a light, rich, open border, and the plants
potted before the frost sets in, plunged in old
tan or ashes, and covered by a frame, which
should front the west. Those to flower from
March to June, should be sown in pots not
later than the third week in August, and
treated in a manner sijnilar to the JSTovember
sowing. Tlie third, or spring crop to succeed
the last, may be sown about the middle of
February ; these should be placed in a frame
in a gentle heat, and the plants thus obtained
will be in perfection by the end of May. The
suffruticose species may be increased ^by cuttings
or seeds.

and shrubs, often with spines. They are
found in nearly all parts of the world ; several

E h â m n u s , Linn. From the Celtic ram, signifying
a tuft of branches. Linn. 5, Or. 1,
Nat. Or. Rhamndceoe. The plants belonging
to this genus are mostly valued on account of
their foliage. The stove and greenhouse
kinds are easily grown in any light soil ; and
increase readily by cuttings under a glass.
The hardy kinds grow in any common soil,
and are usually propagated by layers and
seeds. The plants and berries possess very
strong piTi'gative qualities. The juice of the
berries of R, cathdrtims is sold under the
name of syrup of buckthorn ; the French
berries of the shops are the unripe fruit of
the same species, and are used for dyeing
Turkey or Morocco leather yellow. The wood
of R. dahûrieus is red, "and is known to the
Eussians by the name of sandal-w^ood. Synonymes:
