Interesting plants, thriving well in a mixture

very sparingly watered whilst in a dormant
state. The large fleshy roots, when scraped
and frequently washed, yield a nutritive fécula
resembling arrow-root. See Àrum, and

TACCÀCEIE, or TACCADS, are large perennial
herbs, with tuberous roots, which contain a
large quantity of fecula, which is prepared and
used as food after the manner of sago.
TACCIDA. See Scàivola Taccàda.
TACIITA, Auhlct. From Tachi, which, it is said,
signifies an ant's nest ; a name applied in its
native country to T. Guianénsis on account
of its trunk and branches being usually full of
ants ; this species, we believe, is not yet introduced
to this country. Linn. 5, Or. 1,
Nat. Or. Oentianàceoe. These plants will grow
freely in a mixture of peat, sand, and loam ;
a small portion of the last will suflice ; cuttings
planted in sand, under a hand-glass, in heat,
will strike root readily. The species are
rather difficult to keep through the winter, in
this country, on'account of their being liable
to damp oft' ; and in order to prevent this, they
should be very sparingly watered in damp
weather. Synonymes: 1, Lisidnthns cordifoUus

A genus of elegant plants when in flower, and,
therefore, well deserving a place in every
garden. The annual species should be raised
on a hotbed in spring, and planted out about
the end of May . T. pdtula is the French
marigold, and T. erécta is the African marigold
of our gardens. The herbaceous kinds thrive
in any rich, light soil ; and may be increased
by cuttings or divisions.
