From flagellum, a thong, in allusion to the length, toughness, and slenderness of its shoots. 840. Scheuchzeria. So named by Linnæus, in memory of the two brothers, John James Scheuchzer, professor of mathematics at Zurich, author of Itinera Alpina; and John, professor of physic at Zurich, author of a famous Treatise on Grasses. A curious little marsh plant. 841. Triglochin. From τρεiς, three, and γλωχiς, a point, in allusion to the three angles of the capsule. All domestic cattle are fond of the hardy species, which afford an early bite on the sides of Highland mountains, and are greedily eaten where they occur in salt marshes. 842. Lichtensteinia. Named after M. Von Lichtenstein, a Prussian traveller at the Cape of Good Hope. 843. Myrsiphyllum. From μuρσίvη, a myrtle, and φuλλov, a leaf, in allusion to the resemblance between the leaves of the species and those of myrtle. 844. Tofieldia. Named by Hudson, after a Mr. Tofield, a country gentleman living near Doncaster. ORDER III.

A name in remembrance of Medea, the famous sorceress, given to this plant on account of supposed powerful effects in medicine, but which it is now thought not to possess. 847. Xerophyllum. From ξερoς, dry, and φuλλov, a leaf: its leaves appear as if withered. An American plant with a long spike of white flowers, resembling Helonias. 848. Wurmbea. So called by Thunberg, in gratitude for services rendered him at Batavia by one Wurmb, a Dutch agent there. Jussieu considers this not generically distinct from Melanthium. 849. Androcymbium. From avης avδρoς, a man, or, in botanical language, a stamen, and κuμβoς, a little boat, in allusion to the peculiar conformation of the stamens and their appendages. 850. Trillium. From trilix, triple; the calyx has three sepals, the corolla 3 petals, the pistil 3 styles, and the stem 3 leaves. These are curious little plants, somewhat difficult to keep. Sweet says, they do best on a bed of peat, and may be increased, though slowly, by the division of the root or by seeds.
