Botany. X. rigida. Seed, entire and cut vertically (mag.). Dasylit'ion. Young fruit (mag.). These genera were formerly placed among Jtmceas, but have now been withdrawn and grouped by themselves. Abama (^Narthecmm) is European and North American; Aphyllanthes South European ; Xerotes, Xantliorrhma and Sowerbfea Australian ; Danylirion Mexican. The stem oi Xanthorrhma nrhorea exudes a resinous yellow juice, commonly termed Botany Bay Gum, of an acrid taste, and having when burnt the smell of benzoin; it is used by the Australian doctors for lienteria (a form of diarrhoea), and the diiferent diseases of the thoracic cavity. Abama otsifraga was formerly classed among vulneraries; it inhabits the swamps of North and Central Europe, and was supposed to soften the bones of the sheep and oxen which fed on it; to wliich prejudice it owes its specific name.
