The plant to which this name was given is involved in uncertainty. It appears to have been one of the smallest plants, whence some have inferred that "the Hyssop which groweth out of the wall" is a kind of moss. H. officinalis , a neat little evergeen tuft, and most ornamental and fragrant when in flower, was once in considerable repute as a popular medicine, but is now almost out of use. 1249. Nepeta. Said by Linnæus to be derived from Nepet, a town of Tuscany, mentioned by Pliny. N. cataria is called catmint, because cats are very fond of it, especially when it is withered, when they will roll themselves on it, tear it to pieces , and chew it with great pleasure. Ray observes, that plants which he transplanted from the fields into his garden were always destroyed by the cats, unless he protected them with thorns till they had taken good root and came into flower; but that they never meddled with plants raised from seed. Miller has confirmed this by his own experience; having frequently set a plant from anofrom seed. of the garden within two feet of others which came up from seeds, The when true reason of this torn diof others which came up from seeds, when the former was torn in pieces and destroyed by the cats , whilst the latter remained unhurt. The true reason of this diference is assigned by Ray; that the cat is fond of it in a languid withering state, or when the peculiar scent of the plant is excited by being handled or bruised in gathering or transplanting. Hence the English vulgar saying, ORDER I.

Elsholtzia. Named by Willdenow, in memory of a Prussian botanist, John Sigismund Elsholtz, who lived in the middle of the seventeenth century. Inconspicuous hardy herbaceous plants of little merit. 1251. Lavandula. From lavare, to wash. The use of the distilled water of this plant is well known. The flowers of L. spica have an agreeable fragrant odour, and warm bitterish taste. Alcohol extracts their flowers of L. spica have an agreeable fragrant odour, and warm bitterish taste. Alcohol extracts their virtues completely, and elevates in distillation all their odorous parts; water acts less completely. The oil, however, on which their virtues depend, is obtained separate in distillation with water; in the proportion, according to Lewis, of one ounce of oil from sixty ounces of the flowers. Lavender is stimulant and tonic.

The oil extracted by alcohol enters into several compositions. The dried leaves in powder were used formerly as a sternutatory; but they are now neglected. The flowers are cut in dry weather, when they begin to blow. (London Dispensatory, 862.) 1252. Sideritis. From σiδηρoς, iron.

M. viridis not being so hot to the taste as peppermint, and having a more agreeable flavor than most of the others, is generally preferred for culinary and some medicinal purposes. The leaves or tops are used in spring salads, and eaten dried as sauce with lamb and in soups. The medical preparations of spearmint are more pleasant than those of peppermint, but perhaps less efficacious. This herb, as do the other sorts, contains much essential oil, but of an odor less agreeable than that of lavender or marjoram: it is therefore less employed as a cephalic; but it acts very powerfully on parts to which it is immediately applied , and therefore considerably on the stomach. It acts especially as an antito which it is immediately pains and cholic arising from spasm. It will also stop other parts of relieves pains and cholic arising from spasm.

The infusion of mint in warm water agrees better with the stomach than the distilled water. The officinal preparations are an essential oil, a conserve, a simple water, and a spirit.

The conserve is very grateful, and the distilled waters both simple and spirituous, are generally thought pleasant.

Lewis observes, that mint is said to prevent the coagulation of milk; and hence it has been recommended to be used with milk diets, and even in cataplasms and fomentations for resolving coagulated milk in the be used with milk diets, and even in cataplasms and fomentations for resolving coagulated milk in the breasts: upon experiment, the curd of milk, digested in a strong infusion of mint, could not be perceived to be any otherwise affected than by common water; but milk, in which mint leaves were set to macerate, did not coagulate near so soon as an equal quantity of the same milk kept by itself. Dry mint digested in rectified spirits of wine, gives out a tincture which appears by day-light of a fine dark green, but by candle-light of a bright red color. The fact is, that a small quantity of this tincture is green, either by day-light or candlelight, but a large quantity seems impervious to common day-light; however, when held between the eye and a candle, or between the eye and the sun, it appears red; so that if put into a flat bottle it appears green, but when viewed edgewise red.

For medicinal use spearmint is generally cut just as the flowers appear; but for obtaining the essential oil, the flowering plant is preferred. It should be cut in very dry weather. (London Dispensatory, 384.) , the flowering plant is preferred. It should be cut in very dry weather. (London Dispensatory, 384.)

The officinal preparations are an essential oil, a simple water, and a spirit. The essence of peppermint is an elegant medicine, and seems to be the rectified oil dissolved in spirits of wine.

(Linnean Transactions, v. 176.) If the plant be cut in wet weather it changes to black, and is little worth. (London Dispensatory, 385.) M. pulegium (from pulex, a louse, which animal it was thought to drive away) smells like spearmint, but less fragrant; the taste aromatic and pungent, with a slight flavor of camphor. These qualities reside in a very volatile essential oil, which rises in distillation with water. It was formerly regarded as emmenagogue, expectorant, and diaphoretic, and was in repute for promoting the uterine evacuation, and relieving hysteria, hooping-cough, asthma; but it is now justly considered of no value, and seldom used in regular practice. (London Dispensatory, 386.) 1255. Perilla. A name the meaning of which has not been explained. An annual plant with a strong balmy fragrance. 1256. Hyptis. From ὑπτioς, reversed, because the corolla seems inverted, both as to its form and as to the insertion of stamens, Plants with densely whorled flowers, all natives of the western parts of the world, within, or nearly so, the limits of the tropics 1257. Horminum. From ὁρμaω, to excite, in allusion to its stimulant qualities. The Horminum of the ancients was reputed aphrodisiac. 1258. Glechoma. Γλήχωv was a sort of Thyme among the Greeks.
