TRYMILIUM, FenzL Not explained. Linn. 5,
Or. 1, Nat. Or. Rhamnacece. This species is
well deserving a ])lace in every collection of
greenhouse plants, on account of its snowwhite
flowers ; which, being 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 treated as the greenhouse
species of Ceanòthus,

T. cihàrium is the famous truffle^ so
celebrated in the annals of cookery. It grows
imder 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 scratch it up
ont 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 flavour, which is trifling—dlbidum,
cibàrium. See Sclerodèrma.

Or. Liliacece. A genus of very celebrated and
much-prized florist's flowers. They succeed
well in rich loam and sand, and are increased
by ofl'sets; new varieties are obtained from
seed. The choicer kinds require to be taken

and planted again in the autumn. They
should be slightly protected in very rainy or
frosty weather, or they are very liable to rot.
