colchicum

1 Autumn-Flowering Crocuses.—Colchicums, and especially C. autumnale, are popularly known as "Autumn Crocuses."

2 The medicinal properties of Colchicum have been known from a very early period.

3 Colchicum was in attendance upon Mademoiselle Carandine, little Tom Tufthunt was in attendance upon Lord Colchicum; and rather pleased, too, with his position.

4 Colchicum says he has had him to dine, and thinks him a gentlemanlike lad.

5 Of course, some kinds, such as Tulips, Daffodils and Narcissi, Hyacinths, Crocuses, Snowdrops, Scillas, Bluebells, Chionodoxas, Grape Hyacinths, Lilies, Colchicums, Gladioli, and Montbretias, will be always probably amongst the first favourites with garden lovers.

6 The medicinal value of using colchicum was first identified in the first century A. D. and its use for treating acute gout dates back to 1810.

7 Colchicum corms contain colchicine, a powerful alkaloid that’s been used in pharmaceuticals for years.

8 The defoliation of deciduous trees is announced by the flowering of the Colchicum; of these the ash is the last that puts forth its leaves, and the first that loses them.

9 Pharmacology.—Colchicum or colchicine, when applied to the skin, acts as a powerful irritant, causing local pain and congestion.

10 This plant owes its botanical name Colchicum, to Colchis, in Natalia, which abounded in poisonous vegetables, and gave rise to the fiction about the enchantress Medea.

11 The Merendera may be grown exactly in the same way as the Colchicums, in the border, rock-garden, or best of all in the grass.

12 Colchicum combined with aconite is also recommended for this purpose, as well as artificial sulphur baths and massage.

13 Colchicum was known to the Greeks under the name of Κολχικόν, from Κολχίς, or Colchis, a country in which the plant grew; and it is described by Dioscorides as a poison.

14 Now, you've pulled about Blondel's yellow wig, and Colchicum's black one, why don't you have a shy at a brown one, hay? you know whose I mean.

15 I have also noticed the segments of the perianth in Crocus and Colchicum deeply cleft, so much so sometimes, as to equal in this particular the stigmas.

16 The luminous goblet-shaped blossoms of Colchicum autumnale are a fresh, almost-bawdy pink — the blooms are sometimes called “naked ladies” because they show up abruptly, sans foliage, just as most plants are fading.

17 Two species of Corydalis, the first Iris and Colchicum I had found in Kaffiristan. 

18 Green leaves not necessary to the fruit-bud; green leaves of Colchicum belong to the new bulb not to the flower.

19 He professed himself very much obliged indeed to Lord Colchicum, and made him a handsome speech of thanks, to which the other listened with his double opera-glass up to his eyes.

20 Colchicum. o. c. old corm; n. c. new growth; o. r. old roots.
