Young, speak in high terms of it; but the general feeling and practice of scientific agriculturists is against it, and it is now seldom sown. P. major is a native of most parts of Europe and of Japan, and always by way-sides, whence its name of waybread or way-bred. The seeds afford food to linnets, finches, and other small birds, and the leaves are a common application to wounds and cutaneous sores. An American negro once received a reward from an assembly of South Carolina for a cure for the bite of the rattle-snake; and in the receipt, it is said by Woodville (Med. Bot.), plantain was a principal ingredient. There are several varieties of this species to be met with in rich pastures and in botanic gardens, such as the rose P., in which the flower appears changed into a tuft of leaves expanded like a rose, and the besom P., in which the spike-leaves are imbricate and pyramidal. P. maritima varies in size and situation more than most plants. Its leaves are sometimes scarcely an inch, and at other times more than a foot in length; and the number of flowers in the spike varies extremely. Like Statice armeria and Sambucus nigra, it is found on the summits of the highest mountains, in the clefts of rocks, on the sea-shore, in salt marshes, and muddy banks.
P. coronopus is a singular-growing plant, with recumbent stems pressing closely on the ground. The leaves have a very peculiar flavor, and are rather disagreeable, but were formerly used in salads. P. psyllium is sometimes imported from the south of France in a dried state for the druggists. 279. Buddlea. In honor of Adam Buddle, a name well known to the English botanist as authority for many rare British plants. B. globosa is a very handsome shrub, and though rather tender, flowers freely in warm situations, or against a wall, with protection in very severe winters. Its leaves are long, narrow, pointed, ORDER I.

It is commonly propagated by layers; but cuttings of the young wood of all the species root freely in common earth under a hand-glass. Buddlea Neemda is one of the most beautiful plants of India. 280. Exacum. The ancient name of a plant nearly related to Centaurium; said to have been derived from εξ and aγω, to conduct out, on account of its properties of expelling poison taken into the stomach. 281. Sebœa. A genus nearly related to the last, named after the famous Albert Seba, whose museum was once one of the wonders of Europe. 282. Frazera. After Mr. John Frazer, an indefatigable collector of plants in North America. 283. Penæa. In honor of P. Pena, who published Adversaria Botanica, Botanica, 1570, in conjunction with Lobel. A handsome genus, readily propagated by cuttings in sand under a hand-glass. Many of the finest species remain to be introduced from the Cape of Good Hope. 284. Blæria. In honor of Patrick Blair, who practised physic at Boston in Lincolnshire, and was one of the fellows of the Royal Society. He published Botanical Essays in 1778. The species resemble some kinds of heaths, and require the same treatment. 285. Chomelia. Named after Pierre Jean Baptiste Chomel, a French botanist, physician to Louis XV.; he died in 1740.

B. triphylla is a beautiful, and not very tender plant, which flowers great part of the year; var. ẞ has smooth shining leaves, and flowers of a deeper scarlet than the other. B. versicolor requires the warmest part of the green-house, and the cuttings require bottom heat, with the same soil as the plants. 288. Ixora. A name of doubtful origin. Iswara is the name of an Indian divinity. According to Sweet, the species of this beautiful genus "require to be kept in a moist heat to thrive well; ; but not plunged in tan, as that is almost certain to injure their roots. A mixture of sandy loam and peat is the best soil for them. Care must be taken to keep them clean and free from insects, or they will not thrive. Cuttings root very freely in sand under a hand-glass. 289. Catesbæa. So named by Gronovius, in honor of Mark Catesby, author of the natural history of Carolina, and who discovered the first species of this genus. It is very ornamental. C. spinosa has flowers about six inches long, in the form of a Roman trumpet, and succeeded by fruit the size of a pullet's egg; the skin smooth and yellow, and the pulp like that of a ripe apple, with an agreeable taste. It does not flower very freely, but strikes root readily in sand under a bell-glass, and in moist heat. 290. Pavetta. The name of the plant in Malabar. A small genus nearly related to Ixora, with flowers usually white, as those of Ixora are red. 291. Ernodea. From ερvωδης, branching, in allusion to the habit of the plant. 292, Siderodendrum. From σiδηρoς, iron, and δεvδρov, a tree. Wood, compared for hardness to iron. This tree may be noticed on account of an anomaly which occurs in the corolla, which is often changed, perhaps by some insect, into an oblong bag, half an inch in length, fleshy, and hollow within, and ending in a point at top like a fruit. Cuttings of ripened wood root in sand under a hand-glass. 293. Coccocypsilum. From zoκκoς, fruit, and κuψελη, a vase, its berry being surmounted by a corona resembling a little cup. Cuttings root freely in sand under a bell-glass. 294. Mitchella. Named after John Mitchell, an Englishman, who travelled in Virginia, and left some papers upon North American plants behind him. This is one of those plants which Humboldt (De Distrib. Plant.) calls ORDER I.

Barton says, it is the plant most extensively spread in North America, covering the surface from the 28th to the 69th degree of north latitude. 295. Oldenlandia. In honor of H. B. Oldenland, a Dutch naturalist, who travelled in Africa, where he died about the end of the 17th century. O. umbellata, the chay-root, grows on light sandy ground near the sea, and is much cultivated on the coast of Coromandel for dyeing red, purple, brown, and orange, and to paint the red figures on chintz. The coloring matter resides in the bark, which gives it out to water. Malabar physicians say that the roots cure poisonous bites, colds, and cutaneous disorders, and warm the constitution. The 296. Manettia. In honor of Xavier Manetti, an Italian, and professor of botany at Florence. Some of the species are rather pretty, but they are seldom seen in collections. 297. Epimedium. A name of Dioscorides, applied to this little elegant alpine plant, without any assignable reason. 298. Ptelea. The Greek name of the elm. It is derived from πτaω, to fly, in allusion to the winged seedvessels. A hardy shrub of North_America, not unlike a laburnum in foliage, but with small green flowers. 290. Monetia. So named by L'Heritier, in honor of the Chevalier Jean Bapt Baptiste Monet de la Marck, a celebrated French botanist, now dead; who, unfortunately for botany, many years ago diverted his attention from that science to conchology. Cuttings root in sand under a bell-glass, and in bottom heat. 300. Curtisia. Named in honor of W. Curtis, lecturer on botany, author of the Botanical Magazine and other works; he died in 1799. This is one of the largest trees of Africa, from which the Hottentots and Caffres make the shafts of their javelins. It has fine broad leaves, but small flowers, which, however, have not yet appeared in this country. 301.. Hartogia. Named after John Hartog, a Dutchman, who travelled in Southern Africa and Ceylon. The plant called by this name in the gardens is probably only a variety of the common laurel, and nearly as hardy as it. The flowers grow in axillary racemes like bunches of currants.
