D co 3532 3533 3535 3531 3530 3534 3536- 3539 History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 627. Torilis. A name contrived by Adanson and adopted by Gærtner, and other botanists. It probably, like many of Adanson's words, has no meaning. 628. Oliveria. Named in honor of G. A. Olivier, a French botanist, who travelled in the East. He published a splendid work on insects, by which he is better known than by his botanical merits. 629. Ledeburia. So named by Professor Link, after M. Ledebure, the author of a Catalogus Horti Dorpatensis, published in 1819; in which work this plant stands as Tragium tauricum. 630. Myrrhis. This plant has been long in cultivation. Formerly the young leaves were put into salads; and the roots were boiled and eaten cold, or in tarts, and in a variety of sauces, or candied. The seeds are put into soups in Germany, and in the north of England employed in polishing and perfuming oak floors and furniture. 631. Bunium. From βεvioς, a hill, because the plant grows in dry and elevated situations. Terre Noix, Fr., Erdnuss, Ger., Castagno di terra, Ital. The roots of B. Bulbocastanum are or used to be dug up and eaten raw by the poorer classes. They are farinaceous, sweet, and supposed to be very nourishing. Swine are very fond of them, and will soon become fat by feeding on them. 632. Enanthe. From oivη, a vine, and avθoς, a flower. The Enanthe, says Pliny, smells like the vine in flower, and it is from that that it takes its name. This genus, like most of the aquatic umbelliferæ, is chiefly poisonous. E. crocata is considered eminently so. The juice of the root or an infusion of the leaves is very efficacious in cutaneous diseases: in large doses it produces a fatal tetanus. The herb is applied in poultices to those ulcers that form in the cleft of the hoof of kine. ORDER II.

Crithmum. From κρiθη, barley. Its seed is very similar to a grain of barley. Saint Pierre, Fr., Meerfenchel, Ger., and Finochio marino, Ital. The C. maritimum is found on stone walls, as well as by the sea shore. The inhabitants, where it abounds, not only use it as a pickle, but as an ingredient in salads, and as a pot-herb. In the garden it may be grown on beds of sand and rubbish, or in pots. Braddick, an ingenious horticulturist, cultivated it at Thames Ditton, in a sheltered dry situation screened from* the morning sun he protected it by litter during winter, and in spring sprinkled the soil with a little powdered barilla. " This I do," says he, to furnish the plant with a supply of soda, since in its native place of growth it possesses the power of decomposing sea water, from which it takes the fossil alkali, and rejects the muriatic acid." With this treatment it flourished abundantly, producing an ample supply of leaves and shoots, which were cut twice in the season. (Hort. Trans. ii. 232.) 634. Athamanta. A plant found upon Mount Athamas in Thessaly, as some say; others, however, believe it to have been named after King Athamas, a king of Thebes, who first brought it into use. 635. Pimpinella. According to Linnæus, this name has been altered from bipennula, twice pinnate, in allusion to the leaves. P. saxifraga differs surprisingly in size and foliage in different situations, insomuch size and foliage in different situations, insoinuch that some make several species, as P. minor, major, and dissecta. The root is acrid, and used as a masticatory in tooth-ache, also externally to take away freckles, and in gargles to dissolve viscid mucus. P. anisum (ânysun, Arabic; Golius.) is cultivated in Malta and Spain, whence the seeds are annually imported into England for their use in medicine. They are aromatic and carminative, and yield an oil both by distillation and expression, which is much used in flatulencies, as are the seeds in substance. The oil is also P3 PENTANDRIA DIGYNIA.
