From ζωστης, a riband; the leaves of Z. oceanica are a foot long and an inch broad, resembling a riband. La Zostére, Fr., and Seetang, Ger. This plant abounds on the coast of Yarmouth, where it is thrown on shore in such abundance that mounds are made with it to enclose the encroachments of the sea. It is also used as thatch, and said to endure for upwards of a century; by exposure it bleaches white. In Sweden and Holland it is used as a manure, and is preferred to hay for stuffing beds. Horses and swine eat it, but cows are not fond of it. The rush-like envelopes of Italian liquor-flasks are prepared from this plant. 25. Chloranthus. So named from χλωρoς, green, and άvθoς, a flower, on account of the greenish hue of its inconspicuous inflorescence. The structure of the flower is very curious, and so anomalous, as to render it difficult to tell to what class of Linnæus it is referable. For further remarks upon this subject, see Mr. Lindley's Collectanea Botanica, p. 17. 26. Corispermum. From κoρiς, a bug or tick, and σπερμa, a seed. Le Corrisperme, Fr., and Der Wansen- CLASS II. - DIANDRIA. 2 STAMENS.

THIS class, which is not large, and so entirely artificial that no other characters than those of the Linnæan definition can be assigned to it, contains some elegant and fragrant plants belonging to Jasmineæ, Scrophularineæ, and Labiatæ: examples of the two latter orders are Veronica and Salvia, extensive genera chiefly of hardy herbaceous plants. The most useful of the class are the pepper and the olive: the jasmine is used in perfumery; the sage and rosemary in cookery; and the privet and syringa for garden hedges. One or two species are employed in medicine; several are border flowers; but the greater number of the class are plants of curiosity.

Codarium is a leguminous plant, and is widely removed from its natural place, which is Diadelphia; so are Salvia, Monarda, Rosmarinus, Veronica, and many others, which would have been naturally referred to Didynamia. Under this class Persoon has placed the genus Gunnera, which Willdenow injudiciously referred to Gynanaria. A great variety of diandrous plants are scattered through the other classes of Linnæus; but as such plants are chiefly, with the exception, perhaps, of grasses, diandrous, on account of the incomplete formation of some of their stamens, the rudiments of which are usually obvious, it is scarcely necessary to particularise more than the following, viz. : - D. MONOGYNIA. Viola diandra; Salicornia herbacea, virginica; Anychia dichotoma; several species of Boerhaavia. D. DIGYNIA. Polycnemum salsum; Bufonia tenuifolia. D. TRIGYNIA. Holosteum diandrum. Order 1. MONOGYNIA. 2 Stamens. 1 Style. §1. Flowers complete, inferior, monopetalous, regular. 30. Codarium. Cal. 5-cut, with a persistent tube. Cor. flattish.

The species abound in the south of Russia in marshy steppes with Salsola and Atriplex. Round the Caspian sea they grow six feet high, are red in winter, and eaten by camels. 27. Callitriche. From κaλλoς or κaλoς, and θρiξ, hair. Le Callitrice, Fr. Der Wasserstirn, Ger., and Callitrica, Ital. A little aquatic plant, liable to variation in its appearance; on which account some botanists have divided it into several species. 28. Blitum. From βλiτov, insipid, or, according to Dr. Theis, from the Celtic blith, which has the same inport. Le Blète, Fr. Die Beermelde, Ger., and Blito, Ital. After the flowers are past, the heads swell to the size of wood-strawberries, and when ripe have the same color and appearance. They are succulent, stain the hands, and were formerly used by cooks for coloring puddings. Some consider the B. virgatum as only a variety of the other. 29. Aspicarpa.
