Petunia
a genus of American herbaceous plants, natural order Solanaceæ, nearly allied to tobacco. They are much prized by horticulturists for the beauty of their flowers.
PEWTER. The finer pewter is an alloy of 12 parts tin, one part antimony, and a small quantity of copper; the coarser, of 80 parts tin and 20 of lead. The same ingredients as the finer pewter, but in different proportions (nine of tin to one of antimony) constitute Britannia metal. Pewter is a name also for a polishing material used by marble workers and derived from the calcination of tin.
