medicinal plant from the fast Querland” Mail:- "In John Tradescant's garāsa at Lambath, due ing the days of Charles I., there fiqurished ane plant whose merits and uses, if then known, seom poedly to have been torgotten. But this plant, Tradescantia erecta, a native of Meries, although possessing nothing attractive in either shape or colour, deserves to be inscribed in every om!. gmat's note book on account of its extraordinary eliciency in arresting the flow of blood from, wounds.

When Mexico waa virited by French ariny Lotus years ago, si nativo anggest ol that the commanding oficer, General Martory, should store in his discip a supply of what he donoribed, as "the blood.staunch ing wead," which proved to be the same plant to which the English king's gardener in 1829 gAVA basing our retura to Fransa, the General, having brought some poolmous with him, pleated and cultivated then at Versailles, and wejoyed the satisfaction of finding the plant taking kindly to the soil, and retaining all the original styptis properties attributed to it by the enthusiatic Markan pemnt. Inload its power of responding hemorrhages on being orushed or ́obewed, and applied to a wond, i malā to surpass every hitkerto, known moang, The Vienna prass has lately been strongly ad vocating its regular coltivation, and the mga tion might well be adopted in other countries. The plant is easily cultivated, and would no. doubt thrive in both our tregiost and car tom. perate colonies.
