From curatus, worked; a name given by Aublet to the genus, because the leaves, which have a rough surface, are used in Guyana for polishing bows, sabres, and other weapons.

The Greek legend adds, that he it to cure Pluto of a wound inflicted by Hercules. The species are magnificent flowering plants, especially P. officinalis and moutan, with their numerous varieties. P. moutan and its different varieties are hardy enough to bear our winters in the open air ; but they do not flower in such perfection as when planted will open air; but they do not flower in such perfection as when planted out in a conservatory, or in a pit where they may be protected from the severe frost under glass: they will thrive well in any rich light soil; and ripened cuttings, slipped off, and planted in the ground, in a shady place, without cover, will root freely. (Bot. Cult. 234.) P. edulis has a more slender stem than the common Pæony. The Daurians and Mongols boil the root in ORDER II.

P. officinalis was by old authors said to be of two sorts, male and female, the flowers of the former being smaller and lighter colored than those of the latter. These distinctions, however, were not indicative of sexual difference, the pæony being hermaphrodite, but merely of stronger and weaker growing varieties, according to the practice of the age. Now they are laid aside, the varieties reduced to seven or eight, of which a full account is given in the Horticultural Transactions (vol. ii. 273.). Of these, the double red, the most common, when introduced at Antwerp about the end of the sixteenth century, sold for twelve crowns a root. A useful account of the species and varieties has been published by Messrs. Anderson and Sabine, in the transactions of the Linnean Society. 1203. Hibbertia.

The species are shewy annuals or perennials, valuable as border flowers. The leaves are generally much divided, and the flowers in terminal spikes, blue, purple, or red; never yellow or any shade of that color.

D. consolida, (from consolidare, to unite; it being formerly reputed as a most powerful vulnerary,) Pied d'Allouette, Fr., Rittersporn, Ger., is a shewy annual, with blue, pink, purple, and white flowers, and semidouble and double. D. Ajacis, so called because some traces may be perceived in the flower of what may be likened to the letters AIA, is by some considered as only a variety of this species: both are universally grown as border annuals. D. elatum is well adapted for shrubberies. All the species are of the easiest culture. The species are extremely difficult to distinguish from each other, and are probably in many cases mere varieties. 1205. Aconitum. So called from growing about Acona, a town of Bithynia. The species are robust freeflowering plants of some beauty and consequence. The stems rise from two to six feet in height, upright, strong, furnished with many digitate or palmate leaves, and terminated by panicles or loose spikes of blue or yellow flowers.

A. Napellus, from napus, a turnip, its grumous roots resembling little turnips, is a well known poisonous plant. Linnæus says, that it is fatal to kine and goats, especially when they come fresh to it, and are not acquainted with the plant; but that it does no injury to horses, who eat it only when dry. He also relates (from the Stockholm Acts) that an ignorant surgeon prescribed the leaves, and on the patient refusing to take them, he took them himself and died. The ancients, who were acquainted with chemical poisons, regarded the Aconite as the most violent of all poisons. Some persons, only by taking in the effluvia of the herb in full flower by the nostrils, have been seized with swooning fits, and have lost their sight for two or three days. ORDER III.

Matthiolus relates, that a criminal was put to death by taking one dram of it. Dodonæus gives us an instance, recent in his time, of five persons at Antwerp, who ate the root by mistake, and all died. Dr. Turner also mentions, that some Frenchmen at the same place, eating the shoots of this plant for those of masterwort, all died in the course of two days, except two players, who quickly evacuated all that they had taken by vomit. We have an account, in the Philosophical Transactions, of a man who was poisoned, in the year 1732, by eating some of this plant in a salad, instead of celery. Dr. Willis also, in his work De Anima Brutorum, gives an instance of a man who died in a few hours, by eating the tender leaves of this plant also in a salad. He was seized with all the symptoms of mania. The Aconite, thus invested with terrors, has, however, been so far subdued, as to become a powerful remedy in some of the most troublesome disorders incident to the human frame. Baron Stoerck led the way by administering it in violent pains of the side and joints, in glandulous scirrhi, tumours, ulcerous tubercles of the breast, &c. to the quantity of from ten to thirty grains in a dose, of an extract, the method of making which he describes.

Willdenow and the Dublin College consider that the plant used by Stoerck was the A. neomontanum, in which opinion Mr. Thomson agrees in his London Dispensatory. All the species are poisonous in a high degree. The limits of the species are extremely obscure, and in a very unsettled state; Decandolle in his Systema, increased the number at that time known, but in his Prodromus many of the species of the Systema are considered mere varieties. Dr. Reichenbach has, however, multiplied the species prodigiously, but with little reason. 1206. Trachytella. From τρaχύτης, roughness.
