TROP^OLUM, Linn. From tro-paion, a trophy;
the leaves resemble a buckler, and the flowers

when in flower, 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 tuberous-rooted kinds
succeed well in the open air, in a sheltered
situation, during summer ; in winter they 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. mdjus are
pickled, and used as capers, to which they are
preferred by some. The roots of tulerosum
are eaten in Peru. Synonymes: 1, T. polyphffllum;
