| − | Cochlearia officinalis, Linn. Scurvy-grass. Hardy biennial, 2-12 in. high, but cult, as an annual: root-lvs. petioled, cordate; st.-lvs. oblong, more or less toothed and sometimes with a short-winged petiole: fls. early spring; calyx-lobes erect. Arctic regions.—Prop, by seed, which is small, oval, slightly angular, rough-skinned, reddish brown. The germinating power lasts 4 years. The green parts of the plant are strongly acrid, and have a tarry flavor. The seed is sown in a cool, shady position, where the plants are to stand. The Lvs. are rarely eaten as salad, but the plant is mostly grown for its anti-scorbutic properties. Not to be confounded with water-cress.
