Or. Graviinàcece. Z. aquàtica was cultivated
for a time in Middlesex and Ross-shire ; it
grows on the margin of ponds, and is exceedingly
prolific of bland, farinaceous seeds, which
afford a very good meal. It abounds in all the
shallow streams of ]^orth-"West America, where
its seeds contribute essentially to the support
of the -wandering tribes of Indians, and feed
immense flocks of wild swans, geese, and other
water-fowl. Pinkerton says, this plant seems
intended by nature to become the bread-corn
of the north.

Zizoiif^ in Arabic, is the
Linn. 5, Or. 1, ITat Or.
Rhamnàceoe. The species of Zizyphus are all
very pretty, and deserve to be grown in every
collection of plants. The stove and greenhouse
species thrive well in loam, peat, and sand, and
ripened cuttings root readily in sand, under a
glass. The hardy kinds are well fitted for
shrubberies, and are easily increased by ripened
cuttings, planted in soil, with a glass over
them, or by slips of the roots. The fruit of Z.
Jujùha and Lotus is very excellent, and is partaken
of by all classes of people, in the countries
to wliich these species are indigenous.

ZYGOFIIYLLÁCEÍE, or BEAN CAPERS. This order
consists of trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants.
The ligneous species furnish exceedingly hard
wood, and in the Guaiacum is both bitter and
acrid.
ZYGOPH^LLUM, Linn. From zygos, a yoke, and
phyllon, a leaf ; the leaves are in pairs. Linn.
10, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Zygophylldcece. The species
of this genus are all very handsome when
in flower. The stove and greenhouse species
should be grown in a mixture of loam, peat,
and sand, and are readily increased by cuttings,
in sand, under a glass, or by seeds, when these
can be obtained. Z. Fahdgo grows well in any
light soil, in a dry situation ; it can only be
increased by seeds, which should be sown in a
pot, and placed in a frame, and when the
plants are large enough, they may be planted
out in the open border, in a warm, dry, sheltered
situation. See Guaiacum and Fabago.
