Hormosippon arcticus Berk.
Algae.
This alga abounds in the Arctic regions and affords wholesome food, which is far preferable to the tripe de roche, as it has none of its bitterness or purgative quality.
Houttuynia cordata Thunb.
Piperaceae (Saururaceae).
Himalayan region, China and Japan. The leaves of this plant are said to be used as a potherb in Nepal. In France, it is an inmate of flower gardens as an aquatic.
Hovenia dulcis Thunb.
Rhamneae. RAISIN TREE.
Himalayan regions, China and Japan. The tree is cultivated in India for its fruit, which has a pleasant flavor like that of a Bergamot pear. The round fruits, about the size of a pea, are seated at the end of the recurved, fleshy peduncle, which is cylindrical, about an inch long, and is the part eaten.
