SAPID, agreeable to the taste.
SAPINDACE^ , or SOAP-WORTS. This order is
composed of a great variety of species. One
general character is that the embryo is either
much curved or spirally twisted; this is
particularly remarkable in the Snake-nut
(O^liioc^ryon). Several kinds bear eatable
fruit, highly esteemed in the countries where
they grow ; of these may be mentioned the
Lee-chee^ Longan, Ramhootan, Honey'hemes,
Akee, and many others quite as good as those
named.
SAPINDUS, Lioin, Altered from Sapo-indims,
Indian-soap; the aril which surrounds the
seed of S. saponaria is used as soap in S.
America. Linn. 8, Or. 3, Nat. Ov. Sa^nndacece.
These plants are hardly worth growing, except
in general collections. They thrive in a mixture
of loam, peat, and sand ; and large cuttings
will root in sand, under a glass, in heat.
According to J^-owne, the seed-vessels are very
acrid ; they lather freely in water, and will
cleanse more linen than thirty times their
weight of soap, but in time they corrode or
burn the linen. Synonyme: 1, MouUnsia ruhujinosa,

SAPONACEOUS, soapy.
SAPONÀHIA, Linii, From sa^w^ soap ; the
bruised leaves are said to produce a lather,
like soap, when agitated in the water. Lin7i.
10, Or. 2, Xat. Or. Caryoplnjllàceoe, This
genus contains some truly beautiful plants,
well deserving of a place in every garden. S.
ocymoides, from its trailing habit, and handsome
flowers, is well adapted for rock-work.
A mixture of sandy loam and peat suits them
best, and they are readily increased by division
at the roots or by seed ; young cuttings
of the branching species will also root readily
if planted nnder a glass. The leaves of S.
officinàlis form a lather, which much resembles
that of soap, and is similarly efficacious in
removing grease spots.
