It germinates readily, withstands the drought remarkably, -™att» « remaining green even when other ^SStBiIt vegetation is parched up, and if its development is arrested by dry weather, the least rain will restore WwsK^I it to vigor. It has numerous suc- culent leaves, which furnish' an abundance of green fodder, very much relished by all kinds of stock. It is shown in Fig. 123. It flourishes in somewhat light and dry soils, though it attains its greatest luxuriance in soils of medium consistency and well ma- nured.
