Antoine Tristan Danti d'Isnard was a French botanist, professor at the Jardin du Roi, and member of the Academy of Sciences, to which he communicated many memoirs upon plants from 1716 to 1724. of the Academy of Sciences, to which he communicated many memoirs upon plants from 1716 to 1724. An obscure marsh plant . 259. Elæagnus. From ελaia, an olive : the tree having a striking resemblance to the olive tree. E. angustifolia is a low tree with elegant silvery leaves and a brown bark, but not of long duration. All the hardy speis a low tree with elegant silvery leaves and a brown bark, but not of long duration. All the hardy species are commonly propagated by layers; but according to Sweet and Haynes, "cuttings will strike if taken off at a joint in ripened wood, and planted in a sheltered situation early in autumn." The green-house and stove species strike in sand under a bell-glass. 260. Globularia. From the flowers being packed in globose heads. The species called Alypum has been so named from ce, privative, and runn, pain used by way of antiphrasis, according to Dalechamp, because it is a dangerous a, privative, and λύπη, pain; used by way of antiphrasis, according to Dalechamp, because it is a dangerous purgative. Bauhin even calls it Frutex terribilis; but Clusius says, it was used by the Spanish quacks of his day as a cure for venereal diseases. It is however doubtful whether the Alypon of the old botanists is the same with the plant so called by the moderns. Cuttings of the shrubby green-house species, taken off before they begin to make new shoots, root freely in loam and peat under a bell-glass, and in moderate bottom heat. The hardy and herbaceous kinds may be propagated from seeds, or divided like daisies. Miller says, they prefer a shady situation and a moist loamy soil; but Sweet recommends a light sandy soil. The leaves of most of the species dry black. 261.

Houstonia. Named after Dr. Wm. Houston, the friend and correspondent of Miller: he died in 1733. The plants are small, elegant in their habits, and very fit for pots or rockwork. plants are small, elegant in their habits, and very fit for pots or rockwork.

At the axillæ of the leaves is usually a quantity of limpid water, which may be acceptable to people who are thirsty. This water once had reputation as a cosmetic. Chardon à Foulon, Fr. Kardendestel, Ger. and Dissaco, Ital. D. fullonum is cultivated in the west of England for raising the nap upon woollen cloths, by means of the crooked awns or chaffs upon the heads, which in the wild Teasel are not hooked. For this purpose they are fixed round the circumference of a large broad wheel, which is made to turn round, and the cloth is held against them. The seeds are sown in March, on well prepared strong clayey loam, broad-cast, and at the rate of one peck to the acre. They are hoed, like turnips, to a foot distance; and the second year, in August, the heads are fit to cut. They are sold by the bundle or stave, twenty-five in each, and the ordinary produce is 160 staves per acre. In Essex, carraway is often sown along with teasel, and the second year after the latter is pulled, the former is mown or reaped. (Young's Annals, vol. xxi. p. 53.) D. pilosus is the handsomest species; the seeds are eaten by small birds, and the flowers frequented by moths in great numbers. 263. Cephalaria. From κεφaλη, a head, in reference to the manner in which the flowers grow. A mere artificial division of the genus Scabiosa, from which it differs in no natural characters whatever. 264. Scabiosa. From scabies, leprosy. The sudorific qualities of this plant are said to be useful in cutaneous diseases. This is a vigorous-growing coarse-looking genus. S. succisa is one of the few examples of radix præmorsa or bitten-off root; an appearance, as Keith states, owing to the point or top of the seminal root 1574 sícula W. 1569 canéscens P.
