CONVOLVULÁCEA, or BINDWEEDS. An extensive
order, consisting princÍ23ally of twining
shrubs and herbaceous plants. Many possess

a greater or less degree an acrid juice which is
strongly pui'gative.
CoNVÓLVULUS, Linn. Derived from the Latin
convolvere, to entwine or wind about ; in reference
to the habit of the plants. Linn. 5,
Or. 1, ÌTat. Or, Convolvidàcece. Being mostly
showy plants, the tender species are well
adapted to stoves and conservatories : they
are best cultivated in loam and peat, and cuttings
strike very freely in sand, under a glass ;
the half-hardy annual kinds should be sown
on a gentle hotbed, and when of sufFicient size
plan fed out into the open border, the hardy
knids only require sowing in the open ground;
the stove and greenhouse annuals and biennials
require to be sown in the stove, and
treated as other stove and greenhouse annuals
and biennials. The roots of <7. arvénsis and
macrocàrpiis abound in a milky juice, which is
highly purgative, and the roots of 0. Jiòridiis
and scoimrius are used as sternutatories. Synonynies:
