The late professor Barton found the plant of much service in his own case of nephritic paroxysms alternating with gout in the feet. It has also been recommended as a remedy in pulmonary complaints. (See Bigelow's Med. Botany.) 1020. Clethra. Kληθρa was the name given by the Greeks to the Alder, to which, in its leaves, this bears some resemblance. Pretty upright North American plants, with white flowers. One species is a native of Madeira. 1021. Mylocaryum. From μuλη, a mill, and κaρua, a kernel or stone; the four wings of the nut may be easily likened to the four sails of a small mill. A North American plant, with the habit of Andromeda, or rather of Clethra. 1022. Pyrola. A diminution of Pyrus, to which, in the leaves, this is thought to be similar. A genus of elegant little plants, mostly evergreens. They grow naturally in the shade, and in rocky or very poor soils; in the garden on sand or gravel shaded; and they are increased by seeds or young cuttings, planted under a handglass. All the species are powerfully astringent and tonic, and one or more of the American sorts is said to constitute the chief ingredient in the scorbutic draughts of Whitlaw. P. uniflora, Sir J. E. Smith says is one of the most curious and elegant of British flowers. 1023. Chimaphila. From χεῖμa, winter, and φiλεω, to love; a sort of translation of the English name winter-green. The species may be treated as Pyrola, which they much resemble. 1024. Inocarpus. From 15 ivos, fibre, and κaρπoς, fruit. The envelope of the nut is composed of tough interwoven fibres. It is a lofty tree, with alternate subcordate leaves, and flowers in racemes succeeded by by nuts called Ratta in Otaheite. The kernel of these, which is kidney-shaped, and about an inch in diameter, is eaten roasted by the inhabitants of the Society and Friendly Isles, the New Hebrides, New Guinea, the Molucca isles, &c. It is sweetish, but less pleasant than the chesnut, harder and less farinaceous. The bark is astringent, and is used in the dysentery. In New Guinea they smear the heads of their arrows with the expressed resinous juice. (Forst. Escul.) 1025. Styrax. A name altered by the Latins from the Arabic assthirak. Pliny says, that the Arabs in his time used the resin to flavor the perfumes of which they are so fond. S. officinale is a low tree with slender branches, ovate leaves, flowers in racemes from the sides of the branches, succeeded by ovate globular juiceless drupes, containing one or two angular nuts. From this tree storax is obtained in Asiatic Turkey. It issues from incisions made in the bark; and as it was formerly the custom to collect and export it in reeds, it was named Styrax calamita It has a fragrant odour, and a pleasant subacidulous, slightly pungent, and ORDER I.

It was formerly much prescribed in asthma, catarrh, phthisis, and menstrual obstructions; but it is now scarcely ever employed, except as an adjunct on account of its fragrance.

Benzoin is obtained from the S. Benzoin, by wounding the bark near the origin of the lower branches. The tree is never wounded under six years of age; and cannot sustain these annual incisions above twelve years. (Thomson's London Dispensatory, 525.) As shrubs this genus affords some plants that may be considered pretty and desirable, on account of their small size and free flowering. They grow best in sandy loam, are commonly propagated by layers, and may also be increased by seeds, which they occasionally ripen. 1026. Jussiea. An obscure and most uninteresting genus of plants, selected, not very happily, to commemorate the family of the Jussieus, which has for more than a century and a half been at the head of botanical science. Antoine de Jussieu, born in 1686, and died in 1758, was professor of botany at the Jardin du Roi, and member of the academy of sciences. He published various papers upon exotic plants, and a discourse upon the progress of botany. He also edited the works of Barrelier. Bernard de Jussieu, his brother, born in 1698, died in 1777, was professor at the same garden, and member of the same academy. He also was author of various papers upon plants, a second edition of Tournefort's History of the Plants growing near Paris, and an arrangement of the plants growing in the garden of Trianon, which was published by his nephew. Joseph de Jussieu, a third brother, born in 1704, and died 1779. He was sent to South America by Louis XV., and remained there for six and thirty years. He made many discoveries, and brought home many new plants. Lastly, Antoine Laurent de Jussieu, their nephew, born in 1748, and still living, as demonstrator of botany at the Jardin du Roi, member of the Institute and of every learned body in Europe. He brought, in his Genera Plantarum, published in 1789, to a degree of extraordinary perfection, that system, the outlines of which had been traced by the hand of Tournefort, and partially filled up by his uncle Bernard. That system has now superseded, among men of science, all others, and if as yet inapplicable to merely popular purposes, can never be dispensed with in all philosophical investigations. 1027. Getonia. A Malabar plant, the meaning of whose name has not been explained. Cuttings root freely in sand, under a hand-glass, and plunged in heat.

It was given by Rumphius to a tree of Amboyna, because it was subject to variation. It is a fine climbing genus of easy culture. The best soil for the species is a mixture of loam and peat; and cuttings root freely in sand, under a hand-glass. (Bot. Cult. 100.) 1029. Melastoma. From μελaς, black, and 5oμa, mouth. Many of the species produce black berries similar to gooseberries, and which stain the mouth black. This is a very numerous genus of shrubs and low trees; the species display great unity of character, and may be considered ornamental. They require but little water in winter, and are easily increased in sand, plunged in a moist heat. 1030. Petaloma. From πετaλov, a petal, and λωμa, an edge. Flowers of which the petals are inserted on the edge of the calyx. A small plant with the leaves, but not flowers, of Melastoma. 1031. Acisanthera. From axis, a point, the anthers being pointed. Plants with the habit of Melastoma. ORDER I.

Dais. A name of unknown application. The plant resembles in its leaves the Rhus cotinus, whence its specific name. It may be increased by cuttings of the roots placed in a warm situation. 1033. Bucida. From ẞ8s, an ox. The form of the fruit when ripe resembles the horn of such an animal. This tree grows in Jamaica in low swampy lands near the coast; it is remarkable for its slender crooked branches, and the tufted disposition of the leaves: it grows to a considerable size, is reckoned an excellent timber tree, and the bark is greatly esteemed by the tanners. Well ripened cuttings root in sand, plunged in heat, and covered. 1034. Samyda. Σaμuδa is the Greek name of the birch, to which this genus may be likened in its leaves. The species are rather tardy in growth, but not difficult to root in sand under a hand-glass. 1035. Royena. So named by Linnæus, in honor of Adrian Van Royen, who with his son David were successively professors of botany at Leyden. It consists of shrubs of little beauty, which are increased by ripened cuttings in sand under a hand glass. They are chiefly natives of the Cape of Good Hope. trailing DECANDRIA DIGYNIA. 1036.

From τρεiς, three, and avθoς, flower; the flowers growing by threes in the axillæ of the leaves. The species are weeds in their native countries, and of little interest here. 1037. Scleranthus. From σκληρoς, hard, and avθoς, a flower; when in seed the envelopes of the flower appear very much indurated. S. annuus is common throughout Europe and Siberia on a sandy soil. It flowers about the middle of summer, and sows its seeds very abundantly in autumn, which produce a crop of young plants that generally survive the winter, or, if destroyed, are replaced by another crop arising from those seeds that happen not to vegetate till spring. (Eng. Bot.) The Swedes and Germans receive the vapour arising from a decoction of it into their mouths, to cure the tooth-ache. (Withering.) S. perennis in several parts of Europe has its roots attacked by the insect Coccus Polonicus, Lin. which yields a fine crimson dye, and is said likewise to live on S. annuus and some Potentillæ. Sir J. Smith has "never been able to find this insect on these plants in England." (Flora Brit. ii. 283.) These two species are occasionally found in abundance upon barren heathy wastes. 1038. Cunonia. In memory of John Christian Cuno, of Amsterdam, who described his own garden in Dutch verse in 1750. This is a handsome tree, with fine shining green foliage, contrasted by numerous dense elongated branches of small milk-white flowers, and twigs of a red color: having the habit of a tropical rather than of a Cape plant. Its colonial name is Rood Elze (red alder), although the tree has not in any point of view the least resemblance to the alder of Europe. 1039. Hydrangea. From ύδως, water, and aγγεiov, a vessel. The common garden species, H. hortensis, is quite a marsh plant, and to be managed well should have a very copious supply of water in summer. A large plant will consume ten or twelve gallons daily, in warm weather. H. quercifolia is an elegant plant when in leaf; but as it is barely within the limits of ligneous plants, it dies down to the ground on the approach of frost. H. hortensis is much valued on account of the great profusion of its very elegant flowers, which are monstrous in the same manner as the Viburnum opulus. It has never DECANDRIA DIGYNIA.

The flowers are almost always barren; they are naturally of a rose color, but under certain circumstances of culture they become blue. The yellow loam of Hampstead Heath and some other places, and some sorts of peat earth are found to produce this effect; but the cause is not yet ascertained. Dr. Daalen, of Antwerp, finds that turf-ashes, and, still more effectually, those of the Norway spruce, the wood generally used as fuel by him, applied to the roots of Hydrangea, produced the blue color of the petals. (Neil's Hort. Journ. 122.) According to Busch, of Petersburgh, "the hydrangea will be turned blue by watering the young plant, the summer before, with alum water. Our grey colored earth, under the black moor-earth, has the same effect, being combined with aluminous salt." (Hort. Trans. vol. iv. 568.) Sweet recommends a bed of peat, and says, the longer it remains there the bluer will be the flowers.

The hydrangea, to flower freely, must not be allowed more than three or four strong shoots from the same root; it must have abundance of pot room, and plenty of water when in flower. It is a good plan to shift the plants twice or oftener during the early part of the season. If plunged and turned out of the pot into an open border in the end of May, they will flower vigorously, and will even stand the winter around and south of London, and flower yearly, and if well protected in winter very freely and strongly. The flowers are produced from the extremities of the shoots of the current year. 1040. Chrysosplenium. From χρuσoς, gold, and σπληv, the spleen; a figurative name applied to this plant, with reference to its medicinal qualities. It is said to be a powerful cathartic. In the Vosges the plants are used copiously as a salad, under the name of Cresson de Roche. 1041. Saxifraga. Saxum-frango, to break the stone; a name contrived in reference to supposed medicinal qualities which are now forgotten.

The greater part known are delicate and difficult to rear: they are regardless of cold, but suffer from mild and humid weather during the winter months. Most of the species are perennial, with either fibrous or granular roots, and a few are annual. Of the latter one species, S. tridactylites, is common upon very old walls in England, flowering in the beginning of the spring. The parts of fructification are extremely variable in this genus, and have given rise to the construction of many supposed genera, the constituents of which have the recommendation of agreeing with one another pretty well in habit. The limits, however, of these genera are too obscure, and the gradations by which they are united so obvious, that they have not yet been adopted by men of science generally. Without interfering with that question, the old mode of considering Saxifrage has been here adhered to, as being the most popular and the best under- ORDER II.

Saponaria. In allusion to its mucilaginous sap, which is said to be fit for supplying the place of soap, sapo. S. officinalis plena is considered a border flower, but is inconvenient unless kept in pots, from its spreading very much by the roots, which are underground creepers, like those of couch. The leaves form a lather with soap, and take out spots of grease in the same manner. The whole plant is bitter, and was formerly used to cure the itch and the venereal disease. 1046. Dianthus. Δioς avθoς, the flower of God, or divine flower; so named on account of its pre-eminent beauty. Most of the species of this genus are highly valued, not only for the beauty of their flowers, but also as being evergreens; their foliage during winter being as abundant and vivid as in summer. The fragrance of some of the species is peculiarly grateful, and no plant in this respect surpasses the carnation. D. barbatus is an old inhabitant of the flower garden, and was much esteemed in Gerarde's time " for its beauty to deck up the bosoms of the beautiful, and garlands and crowns for pleasure." The varieties are numerous, but as the plant has never been treated by florists as a leading flower, they have not been named or improved. A hybrid variety called the Mule, or Fairchild's Sweet-William, is supposed to have been produced from seeds of the ORDER II.

D. caryophyllus is considered the source whence have sprung the numerous varieties of the carnation, and some think those also of the pink. The pink, however, is more probably derived from some of the smaller growing species, as plumarius, deltoides, armeria, carthusianorum, &c. The carnation is rarely found wild in England, but it may be gathered on the south side of the Swiss Alps. It seems to have been unknown to the ancients, at least in its cultivated state, not being mentioned by Pliny, or sung by any of the Roman poets. It has, however, been cultivated from time immemorial in Europe, and is in the highest favor for its beauty and rich spicy odour. It is the principal florist's flower of Germany and Italy, from which countries the British florists procure their best carnation seed, and also some esteemed varieties.

The varieties of carnation amounted to nearly 400 named sorts in the beginning of the eighteenth century, and the number has not since diminished. They are arranged in three classes; flakes, bizarres, and picotees. Flakes have two colors only, and their stripes large, going quite through the leaves; bizarres, Fr. (odd, irregular) are variegated in irregular spots and stripes, and with no less than three colours; picotees, Fr. (piquettée, pricked or spotted) have a white ground, spotted or pounced with scarlet, red, purple, or other colors. Of Bb 2 DECANDRIA DIGYNIA.

D co Eng. bot. 1577 6177 6173 6178 6181 History, Use, Propagation, Culture, each class there are numerous varieties, arranged under the farther subdivisions of scarlet flake, pink flake, purple flake, yellow flake, &c.; scarlet bizarre, crimson bizarre, &c.; and purple picotee, yellow picotee, &c. Picotees are rather smaller flowers than carnations, and are distinguished by the serrated margins of their petals; the colors are principally yellow and white spotted, and the plants are considered hardier than the other sorts. Whatever colors the flower may be possessed of, they should be perfectly distinct, and disposed in long regular stripes, broadest at the edge of the lamina, and gradually becoming narrower as they approach the unguis, or base of the petal, there terminating in a fine point. Each petal should have a due proportion of white, i. e. one half, or nearly so, which should be perfectly clear and free from spots. Bizarres, or such as contain two colors upon a white ground, are esteemed rather preferable to flakes, which have but one, especially when their colors are remarkably rich, and very regularly distributed. Scarlet, purple, and pink are the three colors most predominant in the carnation; the two first are seldom to be met with in the same flower, but the two last are very frequently.

New varieties are procured from seeds, and thousands of seedlings are annually blown by florists and amateurs, sometimes without one being found worth keeping. Established or approved varieties are continued by layering and cuttings, or, as they are commonly called, pipings. The soil in which the carnation thrives best is a rich loam rather sandy than otherwise; the climate should be free from extremes of every kind, for which reason they are commonly grown in pots, and protected by a frame during winter, and covered by an awning while in bloom. Carnations grow exceedingly well in beds of properly prepared soil, over which frames are placed in winter, and an awning of canvass or bunting when the plants are in blossom. Those who are curious in blowing their carnations have a great many nice and curious operations to perform when they come into flower. Such petals as are plain, or run from the proper colors of the variety, are extracted by a particular instrument; the remaining petals are next arranged so as to form a convex imbricated surface; the calyx being slit down or tied up as may be necessary to aid this end. Then the flowerstalks are neatly tied to sticks, and the flower supported in a pendant attitude by means of properly formed brass wires. ORDER II.

Behind the petals a circle of card paper is sometimes fixed to keep them in position, and the pot in which the plant grows is placed on a particular description of saucer, by which it is surrounded by water, in order to prevent the approach of ground insects, and especially of the earwig. These and a number of other operations will be found described at length in Maddock's Florist's Directory, and in the Encyclopædia of Gardening. (Sec. 6406.) The pink, as a florist's flower, is of much less antiquity than the carnation: it is scarcely mentioned by Gerarde, and Parkinson has given very few varieties. It was chiefly grown as a border flower till within the last fifty years, since which it has been greatly improved and many fine varieties originated. Being one of the hardiest and least expensive of fine flowers, it is much cultivated by operative mechanics and manufacturers round large towns, and no where to such an extent as about Paisley, by the muslin weavers there. The varieties of pink most cultivated are chiefly those called pheasant's eyes, which seem to have sprung from D. plumarius. Cob pinks are a large sort seemingly intermediate between pinks and picotee carnations; red early pinks are smaller plants than cobs, but larger than pheasant's eyes, and seem to have sprung from cobs and D. armerius or deltoides. The Paisley growers reckon above three hundred varieties of the pheasant's eyes. To garden pinks in general Wildenow gives the appellation of D. hortensis. The propagation and culture of the pink is the same as that of the carnation, excepting that it is less frequently kept in pots or frames, but planted in beds of fresh loamy soil, and the small side shoots reduced in the autumn in order to throw more strength into those intended to produce flowers the following season. Some cover their pink bed with an awning. Not more than eight or ten flowers are ever allowed to expand on one plant, and these, if they shew a tendency to bursting at the calyx, are to be tied as in carnation culture. 1047. Cucubalus. A name signifying a bad subject; an evil weed. According to Miller, the berries of this plant are no less deadly than those of Nightshade.

John Henry Cherler was an assistant of John Bauhin in preparing his Historia Plantarum. A little obscure weed. 1052. Brunnichia. A catalogue of the books upon natural history was published by one Mr. F. Brunnich, a Danish naturalist, in 1793. 1053. Garidella. So named by Tournefort, in honor of Pierre Garidel, M. D., physician at Aix in Provence, author of Histoire des Plantes qui naissent en Provence, 1719, with many figures. A plant of little curiosity or beauty. Small inconspicuous plants of the easiest management. 1054. Malpighia. So named by Plumier in honor of Marcello Malpighi, professor of medicine at Bologna, author of Anatome Plantarum, 1765 and 1769; a celebrated work, the best of its time on the structure of vegetables. The species are handsome evergreen trees and shrubs, some of them fruit-bearing and others climbers. M. glabra is grown for its fruit in the West Indies, and the fruit of M. urens is also eaten under the name of Barbadoes cherry, but that of both species is much inferior to European cherries. All the species have the under sides of their leaves covered with prickly bristles which when handled run into the fingers. Ripened cuttings root freely in sand under cover. 1055. Banisteria. So named by Dr. Houstoun, in memory of the Rev. John Banister, a curious botanist, who lost his life in search after plants in Virginia. The species are chiefly evergreen climbers and twiners; some of them, as B. fulgens and chrysophylla, have fine shewy foliage as well as beautiful flowers. ORDER III.

All of them root freely in ripened wood in sand under a hand-glass. In most respects they resemble the last genus. 1056. Hirea. Named after John Nicholas de la Hire, a French physician, who died in 1727. Plants with the appearance of Banisteria. 1057. Cnestis. From κvηθω, to scratch. The capsules, covered with hairs, excite a troublesome itching. Fine evergreen stove shrubs. 1058. Averrhoa. So named in honor of Ebn Elvelid Ebn Rushad, commonly called Averrhoes, of Corduba in Spain, a famous commentator on Aristotle and Avicenna. He also published Calliget, or the plants used in food, &c. He died at the beginning of the thirteenth century. The specific names are vernacular appellations. The species are evergreen trees, singular for the fruit growing frequently on the trunk itself, below the leaves: the flowers grow in racemes; the fruit is a five-celled pome. A. Bilimbi is a beautiful tree with a green fleshy oblong fruit the thickness of the finger, filled with a grateful acid juice; the substance and seeds not unlike those of cucumber. They make a syrup of the juice, and a conserve of the flowers, which are esteemed excellent in fevers and bilious disorders. A. carambola bears a fruit the size of a hen's egg, with a pulpy subacid juice, used ripe and also pickled green, and employed also in dying, and other economical purposes. The petioles and branches of this tree are said to have a peculiar sensitive quality, of which an account is given by Dr. Bruce in the Philosophical Transactions, DECANDRIA PENTAGYNIA.

Spondias. One of the Greek names of the plum. The plants of this genus bear fruit like plums, which are also called hog plums in the West Indies.

These are deciduous fruit-bearing trees, natives or cultivated in both Indies. S. Mombin (the South American name) flowers from the sides of the branches, and is known by its oblong or ovate fruit like a plum, having a luscious thin pulp covering a large fibrous stone. The skin is yellow, purple, or variegated; the pulp is yellow and thin, having a singular but not unpleasant taste, and a sweet smell. The seed scarcely ever ripens, but it is so easily increased by cuttings, that if a branch laden with young fruit be set in the ground, it will grow, and the fruit will soon come to maturity.

It grows by large cuttings as freely as the other. S. dulcis is a handsome tree; the pulp of the fruit is firmer than that of the others, and tastes like a Reinette apple. It is cultivated in the Society and Friendly islands, especially in Otaheite; the fruit is of a gold color, hangs in little nodding bunches, and is esteemed both tasteful and wholesome: its flavor resembles that of the pine-apple. 1060. Cotyledon. From κoτuλη, a vessel or cup. Many of the species of this genus have cup-shaped leaves. The species are succulents of little beauty, and of the easiest culture in light earth and lime rubbish, or in sand and loam. 1061. Sedum. From sedere, to sit these plants growing upon the bare rock, look as if sitting upon it. The species are low succulents, some of them pretty, others curious; but none of them remarkable in any way. 6448 altíssimum P. S.

Orpine is the French name of two or three species. S. album is said to have the same virtues as used to be attributed to the houseleek, Sempervivum tectorum: it is pickled by some in the manner of samphire. S. acre is considered antiscorbutic; its juice applied to the skin blisters it, taken inwardly it vomits, and applied externally to gangrenes promotes suppuration. 1062. Penthorum. From πεvτa, five, in allusion to the five-marked angles of the capsules. Succulent North American plants of no beauty whatever. 1063. Grielum. A small uninteresting Cape plant, with yellow flowers and hoary leaves like southernwood. Derived from γρήϊoς, old, in allusion to its hoary aspect. 1064. Biophytum. Biε φuτov, plant of life, in allusion to the lively irritable nature of the foliage. This genus, the Oxalis sensitiva of Jacquin, has been lately divided by M. De Candolle from Oxalis, chiefly on ORDER IV.

It is a very pretty annual, and if well managed so as to acquire, as in China, a stem six or nine inches high, is quite a remarkable object. Cultivated in common earth, and propagated by seeds, which it produces in abundance. 1065. Oxalis. The Oxalis of the ancients, which was named from oξuς, sharp, or sour, was a very different plant from this, which is thought to have been the Oxys of Pliny. The name employed by Linnæus has, however, been adopted by his followers, although Clusius, Ray, Plumier, Tournefort, Haller, and others, called the genus Oxys.

This is a tribe of pretty little plants, of which most of the species flower freely, but all of them are without their leaves half the year. The root is commonly bulbous; in some species only thick and fleshy; in a few branched the bulbs consist of fleshy scales, sometimes closely imbricate, sometimes loose and diverging. In a few the subterraneous stipe and the terminating fibre of the bulb produce little dog-toothed bulbs, in such DECANDRIA PENTAGYNIA.

Sometimes the bulb strikes very deep, as in tomentosa; the original bulb near the surface striking a radical fibre downright from its base, which puts out from its side a new bulb, producing the next year's plant, whiist the former perishes. Sometimes fusiform, thick and long fibres spring in a monstrous form from the bulbs, as in glandulosa and some others. Some of the species have a proper stem (Caulis), when it bears all the leaves and peduncles alternately, and not in a terminating umbel: this is either branched or quite simple, and that for the most part inconstantly. Others have a stipe; the leaves and flowers being aggregate together at the end of the stalk; this bears none or very few leaves along it, seldom many. In some species the stipe is always subterraneous, as in breviscapa, purpurea, &c.; in others it is always above ground, as in gracilis, versicolor, tenuifolia. Stipes are commonly quite simple; some, however, are branched, the branches terminating in umbels, as in incarnata and polyphylla. Hence the division of the species into caulescent and stipitate. The leaves are not, perhaps, truly sessile in any of the species; they are subsessile in a few, but in most are petioled. They are simple in three species, binate in four, digitate in six, in the rest ternate: almost all of them have an acid ORDER IV.

The partial stem bearing the flower is a peduncle in the caulescent, a scape in the stipitate species. Many of the species ripen seeds, from which, or from offsets, they are readily propagated, and grown in light sandy soil: care being taken to give the pots little or no water when the plants are in a dormant state. An excellent work has been written on the genus by Jacquin, in which ninety-six species are described. All that were known in Europe at that time, were cultivated in the Imperial gardens of Schönbrunn with great success, under the immediate inspection of Jacquin, by whom the following directions are given for their management. They are best kept in pots which will hold a good many roots. The earth should be so light and sandy as never to become hard, but always to be soft enough not to resist the point of the finger when pressed upon it; when the flowering time is passed, the pots should be placed aside, where they require neither care nor water; but are well protected from mice. In the beginning of August they should be placed in the open air and moderately watered. About the end of that month, or a little later, the leaves should appear. About the middle of September, earlier or later, according to the weather, they should be placed in a very sunny, airy greenhouse, Cc2 DECANDRIA PENTAGYNIA. 1066. AGROSTEM'MA. W. ROSE-CAMPION.

O. Acetosella, la petite oseille or surelle, Fr., is used as a salad plant, and is more delicate than the Rumex salads: its acid approaches nearly to that of the juice of lemons, or the acid of tartar, with which it also corresponds in its medical effects, being esteemed refrigerant, antiscorbutic, and diuretic. An infusion of the leaves, or a whey made by boiling the plant in milk, given in ardent fevers, is said to allay inordinate heat, and to quench thirst. The expressed juice depurated, properly evaporated, and set in a cool place, affords a crystalline acid salt in considerable quantity, which may be used whenever vegetable acids are wanted. It is employed to take iron moulds and ink stains out of linen, and is sold under the name of essential salt of lemons. (Withering.) This salt when genuine, which it seldom is, consists of the vegetable alkali and a peculiar acid, which, according to Bergman, seems more allied to the acid of sugar than that of tartar. What is sold for it in this country, appears sometimes to consist of C. Tart., with the addition of a small quantity of vitriolic acid. For taking out spots in linen, the stained part is dipped in water, sprinkled with a little of the salt powdered, then rubbed on a pewter plate, after which the spot is washed out with warm water. (Curtis, from Newm. Chem. by Lewis.) Twenty pounds of leaves fresh yield six pounds of juice, from which two ounces, two drachms, and one scruple of salt have been obtained. (Lewis.) 1066. Agrostemma. Ayes crown of the field. The beauty of the flowers of the common cockle weed well entitles it to such a distinction. The foreign species are very pretty annuals. A. Githago (git or gith was the name of certain black and aromatic grains, supposed to have been of Nigella sativa, which were employed by the Romans in cookery. The seeds of the plant Githago are externally similar) is an ornamental weed, and along with corn poppy and blue bottle makes a fine appearance in the fields of the slovenly husbandman, where the soil is dry and gravelly.

A. coronaria and flos-jovis are shewy border flowers, the first generally increased by seeds, and the other by cuttings or division of the plant. 1067. Lychnis. From λύχvoς, a lamp, in allusion to the cottony leaves of some species, which have been used as wicks to lamps. L. chalcedonica, Croix de Malthe, Fr. and Portug., Croce de Cavaliere, Ital., and C. de Jerusalem, Span., is an old and much esteemed border flower, the double varieties of which require some care in cultivation, to prevent their returning to the single state, and to propagate them by cuttings. L. fulgens and coronata are also very handsome species. "They do best in a light rich loamy soil, but they must be often taken up and divided, or they dwindle away; the best time of doing this is early in spring. L. coronata thrives and flowers abundantly if planted out in the open ground in spring; but it requires to be taken up in autumn and potted, or the severe frosts in winter will kill it, or injure it very much. All may be raised by cuttings planted under hand-glasses, or by seeds, which often ripen in abundance. (Bot. Cult. 389.) L. viscaria and floscuculi are more hardy, and grow in common_garden soil, and increase abundantly by division: they are both old inhabitants of the flower garden. L. diurna and vespertina are also border flowers in their double varieties. 1068. Cerastium. Derived from κερaς, a horn, in allusion to the cornute form of the capsule of many species. Most of the annual species, and some of the others, are weeds; a few may be grown in pots or on rock-work, for both of which they seem well adapted. They are very prolific in seeds, and contribute materially to the support of small birds. 1069. Larbrea. A genus founded by Aug. St. Hilaire, in the second volume of Mémoires du Muséum, upon the Cerastium aquaticum of Linnæus. He named it after the Abbé de Larbre, who at the age of 80, published a Flora of Auvergne.

From spargere, to scatter, because it scatters its seeds abroad, to the great profit of the farmer in Holland, who obtains from it meadows affording the most delicious butter. S. arvensis is a common weed in sandy soils, in Scotland called yarr, and in Norfolk pickpurse. In the Netherlands and in Germany it is sown on corn stubbles, to supply a bite for sheep during winter. It may be sown and reaped in eight weeks, either in autumn or spring. It is said to enrich the milk of cows, so as to make it afford excellent butter; and the mutton fed on it is preferable to that fed on turnips. Hens eat spurry greedily, and it is supposed to make them lay a great number of eggs, whether in hay, or cut green, or pasture. Von Thaer observes, it is the most nourishing, in proportion of its bulk, of all forage, and gives the best flavored milk and butter. It has been recommended to be cultivated in England; but it is not likely that such a plant can ever pay the expense of seed and labour in this country, even on the poorest soil; or at all events, as Professor Martyn observes, we have many better plants for such soils. 1071. Phytolacca. From φuτov, a plant, and lacca, lac; that is to say, a plant whose fruit gives out a fine red color like lac. The English-American name Poke, applied to one species, is a corruption of Pocan, the name by which it was formerly known in Virginia.

P. decandra has large ramose roots, shoots half an inch in diameter, and five or six feet high; the leaves five inches long, and two and a half inches broad, smooth and of a deep green. It grows vigorously in a good deep soil, and furnishes ample supplies of young shoots, which in America and the West Indies are boiled and eaten as spinage. (Correa de Serra, in Hort. Trans. iv. 446.) ORDER IV.

In its medicinal properties, the Phytolacca approaches nearer to Ipecacuanha than to any other vegetable; but it is slower in its effects, and it remains longer in action, although it may be checked by an opiate. Sometimes its operation produces vertigo and stupor. The powder of the leaves possesses the same virtues as the root, but in a weaker degree. It is one of the plants which have had a temporary reputation for the cure of cancer, and some sensible men have been converts to its efficacy. The fermented berries give out a liquor which yields alcohol by distillation. From half a bushel of the berries, six pints of spirits were obtained, sufficiently strong to take fire and burn with readiness. Two ounces of this given to a dog occasioned nausea and drowsiness, with slight spasmodic motions, but no vomiting. Poultry are fond of the berries, but if eaten in large quantities, they give the flesh a disagreeable flavor. The juice stains paper and linen of a beautiful purple color, but it will not last long; if a method could be found of fixing the dye, it might be very useful. The vignerons in Portugal for many years used the juice of the berries of the elder-bush to give a deep color to the Port wines, to which it was thought to communicate a disagreeable taste when mixed in too great a quantity. Complaint of this practice having been made to government, orders were given that the stems of that plant should be cut down and destroyed before they produced berries: but they forgot to include the Phytolacca in the proscription, so that the berries of that plant supply the same purpose in a much worse manner.

CLASS XI. - DODECANDRIA. 12 STAMENS.

This is a small incongruous class, containing no extensive genus of importance except Euphorbia. Some botanists have been of opinion that it ought to be cancelled, but it is probable that Linnæus understood the application of his own principles as well as some of his more pretending followers, and it is certain that if the Linnean plan can be made to act successfully, its artificial arrangement must be rigorously observed. Euphorbia and Reseda, which are usually referred hither, should more properly be referred, the former to Monœcia, and the latter to Polygamia.

An ancient name, said to have been formed from a, privative, and σεiρa, bandage, because it was not used in garlands of which the ancients were SO fond in that case it should be Asarum. The common not used in garlands of which the ancients were so fond; in that case it should be Asarum. The common name, Asarabacca, is Latin, qu: the berry of Asarum? Little inconspicuous herbaceous plants. The leaves of A. europæum are emetic, cathartic, and diuretic; and, perhaps, as Dr. Cullen has remarked, they form the most useful species of errhine stimulants.

B. frutescens is very ornamental in its foliage. The Indian kings, Hernandez tells us , planted it in their gardens, which must have been for its beauty, as it is neither culinary nor medicinal, though the juice is acrid, and used in the West Indies to take off warts. 1074. Bassia. So named by Koenig, in honor of Ferdinando Bassi, curator of the botanic garden at Bologna. Tall trees, natives of the hottest parts of the East Indies, with tufted alternate leaves growing only at the end of the shoots. Ripened cuttings root freely in sand. 1075. Blakea. So named by Dr. Patrick Browne, after Mr. Martin Blake of Antigua, a great promoter of useful knowledge, and a patron of the doctor's Natural History of Jamaica. This is one of the most beautiful knowledge, and a patron of the doctor's Natural History of Jamaica. This is one of the most beautiful plants of the West Indies. It supports itself for a time by the help of some neighboring shrub or tree, but it grows gradually more robust, and at length acquires a pretty moderate stem, which divides into a thousand weakly declining branches, well supplied with beautiful rosy blossoms on all sides. It cannot display itself to so great advantage in our stoves; but it flowers freely, and thrives well in loam and peat, well supplied with water. Ripe cuttings root in sand in moist heat and covered. 1076. Bejaria. So named by Mutis, in honor of Bejar, a Spanish botanist. The original species are natives of New Grenada. That in gardens, which is a native of the southern states of North America, is a beautiful New Grenada. That in gardens, which is a native of the southern states of North America, is a beautiful shrub from three to four feet high, with pink flowers of an agreeable scent. It is found upon the banks of swamps and ponds, and requires the protection of a frame or greenhouse. 1077. Agathophyllum. From aγaθoς, good, and φuλλov, a leaf. The leaf has a pleasant smell like cloves. In Madagascar, where it is called Ravendsara, it forms a large tree with a rufous aromatic bark, and a heavy Madagascar, where it is called Ravendsara, it forms a large tree with a rufous aromatic bark, and a heavy insipid wood. The leaves are alternate and coriaceous. The dried fruit is very aromatic. 1078. Rhizophora. From ῥiζa, a root, and φερω, to bear, in allusion to the numerous roots which are emitted by the seeds, which vegetate among the branches of the tree while yet adhering to their footstalk. This is the the seeds, which vegetate among the branches of the tree while yet adhering to their footstalk. This is the common Mangrove, which covers immense tracts of coast within the tropics, rooting and vegetating even as far as low water mark. 1079. Garcinia. So named in honor of Laurent Garcin, M. D., F. R. S., who travelled into the East Indies. Mangostans is the Malayan name. This tree bears a fruit , which in the East Indies ranks with that of the pine-apple. It rises with a taper stem , sending out many branches, not unlike a fir-tree, with oval leaves, seven or eight inches long. The flower is like that of a single rose; the fruit round, the size of a middling orange; the shell is like that of the pomegranate, the inside of a rose color, divided by thin partitions, as in oranges, in which the seeds are lodged , surrounded by a soft juicy pulp, of a delicious flavor, partaking of the strawberry and the grape, and is esteemed one of the richest fruits in the world. It is a native of the Molucca islands, whence it has been transplanted to Java and Malacca. The head of the tree is in the form of a parabola, so fine and regular, and the leaves so beautiful, that it is looked upon in Batavia as the tree most proper for adorning a garden, and affording an agreeable shade. It was introduced to England in 1789. According to Dr. Garcin, (Phil. Trans.) " it is esteemed the most delicious of the East Indian fruits, and a ORDER I.

It is given with safety in almost every disorder and we are told that Dr. Solander, in the last stage of a putrid fever in Batavia, found himself insensibly recovering by sucking this delicious and refreshing fruit. The pulp has a most happy mixture of the tart and sweet, and is no less salutary than pleasant. It is propagated by ripe cuttings in sand in moist heat. But the plant rarely survives long after its importation. 1080. Grangeria. Named after N. Granger, a traveller in Egypt, Persia, &c. who died at Bassora in 1733. His voyage into Egypt was published in 1745. This is a tree the size of an oak, with alternate ovate entire leaves. The flowers are small, in small terminal and axillary racemes. 1081. Halesia. So named by Ellis, in honor of the learned and venerable Stephen Hales, D. D., F. R. S., author of Vegetable Staticks, 1727. The species are very ornamental shrubs, valuable for blossoming early in the season. The flowers hang in small bunches all along the branches, each bud producing from four to eight or nine; they appear before the leaves, are of a pure snowy whiteness, and last for two or three weeks they are succeeded by pretty large winged juiceless drupes, hanging likewise in bunches. The leaves of H. diptera are six times the size of those of H. tetraptera, and the fruit has two large wings and two minute ones. They are propagated by cuttings of the roots. 1082. Decumaria. Derived from decem, ten, all the parts of fructification answering to the number 10. It is commonly propagated by layers, but will grow by cuttings in sand under a hand-glass. 1083. Eurya. A name of Thunberg's, supposed to have been formed from εuρuς, broad; its application no one has been able to discover. The Eurya chinensis is a little evergreen bush, bearing many whitish flowers on the under side of the branches and hidden by the leaves. It is easily propagated by cuttings. 1084. Aristotelia. After the celebrated ancient philosopher and naturalist Aristotle. Macqui is the name of this shrub in Chili. It grows freely in a sheltered situation; but its flowers are of little beauty. They are succeeded by small berries of a purple or black color, slightly acid and eatable the inhabitants of Chili make a wine from them, which they give in fevers, and for curing the plague. It is increased by layers or ripened cuttings. 1085. Canella. A name given by Murray, on account of the resemblance between its wood and the aromatic flavor of Canella, Cinnamon. This tree rises very straight, from ten to fifty feet in height. The branches are erect, not spreading, and only at the top of the tree; furnished with petiolated leaves of a dark green color, thick, and shining like those of the laurel, and emitting a similar odor. The flowers, which exhale a powerful aromatic perfume, are small, seldom open, and in bunches. The inner bark of the branches is freed from the cuticle, and dried in the shade. This bark is stimulant, and slightly tonic. It is a useful adjunct to bitters in some cases of dyspepsia and atonic gout; but it is employed chiefly on account of its flavor, and to correct the griping quality of the resinous cathartics. It is said to prove useful in scurvy (London Dispensatory, 207.) 1086. CRATEVA. W.

In honor of Cratævus, a Greek botanist and contemporary of Hippocrates. C. Tapia, an American name, produces a fruit about the size of an orange, with a mealy pulp and a strong smell of garlic, which is communicated to the animals that feed on it. All the species prefer a rich loamy soil, and may be increased by cuttings in sand under a hand-glass. 1087. Triumfetta. So named by Plumier, in memory of Giov. Battista Triumfetti, prefect of the botanic garden at Rome, author of Hortus Romanus, 1681, and other works. T. semitriloba has a tough strong bark which serves for ropes and other conveniences of that kind in the inland parts of the West Indies. The whole plant is mucilaginous and emollient. Cuttings root in sand under a hand-glass. All the species are uninteresting weed-like shrubs of tropical countries. 1088. Peganum. Πηγavov was the Greek name of the rue, which the modern plant resembles. Harmala light soil. is the Arabic name (hharmel) of the species SO called. The species are of easy culture and propagation in any the Arabic name (hharmel) of the species so called. The species are of easy culture and propagation in any light soil. 1089. Hudsonia. So named by Linnæus, in honor of William Hudson, apothecary of London, F. R. S., and author of Flora Anglica, 1762 and 1778, octavo. It is a heath-like plant which grows in peat soil, and S., author of Flora Anglica, 1762 and 1778, octavo. It is a heath-like plant which grows in peat soil, and young cuttings are rooted in sand under a bell-glass. It is extremely rare in gardens. 1090. Nitraria. So named by Schreber, who first found it in Siberia near the nitre works, with other saline vegetables. This is a curious thorny shrub, peculiar to the salt deserts of Siberia. Pallas informs us, that the berries, though saltish and insipid, are eaten in the Caspian desert, but in that arid soil they are almost the only luxury. Camels feed on the twigs. Linnæus had the shrub twenty years before it flowered in Sweden; ORDER I.

Murray expresses a surprise that it has not been used in its native soil for making soda: but perhaps it does not grow in sufficient quantity, or there may be an ample harvest in that salt region of plants that answer the same purpose.

In this country it thrives in sandy loam with a little salt put round it, and is increased by layers, or cuttings in sand under a hand-glass. 1091. Portulaca. An ancient name of unknown origin. The species are succulents of the easiest culture. P. sativa and oleracea were formerly cultivated as potherbs, salads, for garnishings and pickling, though now little used for any of these purposes. 1092. Talinum. One of those names invented by Adanson, which probably were the mere creations of that botanist's erratic brain. This is a succulent genus allied in habits to Portulaca, and of the easiest culture. 1398. Anacampseros. Avaκaμψερως was the name of a plant, to which the ancients attributed the quality of restoring the passion of love, for which purpose it was used in philtres and incantations: from avaκaμπτω, to return, and ερως, love. The species are succulents, and grow freely in a sandy loam mixed with a little lime rubbish, and require but little water. Cuttings root readily, but should be laid to dry a few days before being planted.

From λuθρa, black blood, in allusion to the color of the flowers. L. Salicaria (willowlike, from Salix) although a common British plant, is considered a handsome border flower, and several varieties, differing chiefly in size, are in cultivation. The whole plant is astringent, and has been used in medicine and tanning. 1095. Nesea. Plants formerly referred to Lythrum, from which they seem to be satisfactorily distinguished. 1096. Heimia. Named by Link, in honor of Dr. Heim, a celebrated Berlin physician A beautiful stove shrub with fine spikes of yellow flowers. 1097. Cuphea. From κuφoς, curved, in reference to the form of its capsule. Pretty herbaceous or shrubby plants, resembling Lythrum in aspect. C. Melvilla is a very handsome stove shrub resembling Bouvardia coccinea. 1098. Kleinhofia. So named by Linnæus, after Kleinhoff, formerly director of the botanic garden in Java. The leaves when bruised smell like violets; the flowers appear the greater part of the year, and the tree is seldom without fruit in all its different stages. Cuttings root in sand under a hand-glass. 1099. Callicoma. From κaλoς, beautiful, and κoμη, hair, in allusion to the tufted yellow heads of flowers, for which the plant is remarkable. Ripened cuttings root in sand under a hand-glass. 1100. Heliocarpus. From ήλioς, the sun, and κaρπoς, fruit. The valves of its round and elegantly ciliated capsule resemble a little sun surrounded by its rays. Cuttings root in sand under a hand-glass; and Miller found the seeds to vegetate after being kept ten years. 1101. Agrimonia. A corruption of the word Argemone, by which name the ancients distinguished a plant reputed useful in cataract of the eye, which in Greek was termed argema. A. Eupatoria was formerly regarded as a remedy of much importance as a tonic and deobstruent; but though still retained in the London Materia Medica, is seldom or never prescribed. The root in spring is sweet scented, and the flowers fresh ORDER I.

When the plant is coming into flower it will dye wool a full nankeen color, and gathered in September a darker yellow. It has been used for dressing leather. Sheep and goats eat it, but kine, horses, and swine refuse it. 1102. Reseda. From resedo, to calm, to appease. The Latins thought it useful as a topical application in external bruises. R. Luteola, a diminutive of lutea, yellow, is used by dyers, especially in France. (Chaptal's Chimie appliqué à l'Agriculture, &c.). It affords a most beautiful yellow dye for cotton, woollen, mohair, silk and linen. Blue cloths are dipped in a decoction of it, in order to become green. The yellow color of the paint called Dutch Pink, is obtained from this plant. The entire plant, when it is about flowering, is pulled up and employed both fresh and dried. Mr. Swayne observes, that it is one of the first plants which grow on the rubbish thrown out of coal pits. It flowers in June and July. The root and bottom leaves are formed from the fallen seeds before winter; and thus it happens in this, as in many other cases, that the wild plant is biennial, whilst the cultivated plant, growing from seeds sown in the spring, is annual. It is an observation of Linnæus's, that the nodding spike of flowers follows the course of the sun, even when the sky is covered; pointing towards the east in a morning, to the south at noon, westward in the afternoon, and to the north at night.

R. odorata is a well known and universal favorite. The flowers are highly odoriferous, and there are very few to whom this odor is offensive. The plant is in great demand in London for rooms and placing in balconies, and forms for these purposes an extensive article of culture among the florists and market gar. deners. The plants are in many cases sown and transplanted into pots, three or four plants to a pot four inches in diameter. To obtain plants for blowing from December to February, a sowing should be made in July in the open ground, and the plants potted in September. The crop for March, April, and May, should be sown not later than the twenty-fifth of August, the plants from this sowing will not suffer by exposure to rain, whilst they are young; they must, however, be protected from early frosts, like the winter crop; they are to un 1 jl.au Oun 1 jl.au un 3 my.o 6668 pruinósa Delisle. 6669 undáta.
