Calotis. The name has been derived from κaλoς, beautiful, and 85 ωτoς, an ear, in allusion to the two membranous ear-shaped paleæ of the pappus, A pretty little New Holland herbaceous plant. 1743.

Inuleæ in many respects resemble Anthemideæ, Senecioneæ, and Nassauvieæ, especially in their style; but they are perfectly well characterized by the peculiarities of their ovarium, pappus, stamens, and corolla. They are also related to Carlineæ. They are found in every part of the world, and especially in southern Africa; almost all the Composite of the southern latitudes being referable to them.
I. Helenium, called Elecampane, from the officinal name Enula campana, is one of the largest of British herbaceous plants. It was formerly esteemed a tonic, and is still retained in the Materia Medica, though little used. Bruised and macerated in wine, with balls of ashes and whortle berries, it dyes a blue color. The young branches of I. Crithmifolia are frequently sold in the London markets for samphire, to which they bear some resemblance in appearance, but none in virtues. 12169 bifrons W. 12170 saturejoídes W. 12171 fœtida W. 1745.

P. dysenterica has its specific name from having cured certain Russian soldiers of the bloody flux. It is called by our old authors middle flea-bane, and was supposed by its smoke in burning to chase away fleas and other insects. Forskahl says, it is named in Arabic Rara ejub, or Job's tears, from a notion that Job used a decoction of this herb to cure his ulcers.
Of course it was formerly recommended to cure the itch. P. vulgaris is also said to drive away fleas and gnats. 1746. Grindelia. A handsome genus of herbaceous plants, with neat foliage, and pretty yellow flowers. They are sometimes called Donia. scales. 1747. Podolepis. From T85, a foot, and AETIS, a scale. The stalks of the flowers are covered with scales .
The stalks of the flowers are covered with 1748. Chætanthera. From χaiτa, hair, and avθηρa, an anther, the anther being furnished with a hairy tuft. 1749. Arnica. This is said to be a corruption of ptarmica, derived from πτaiξω, to sneeze. The Arnica montana is a powerful sternutatory; in the Vosges it is even called tabac on that account. The whole plant has important medicinal properties; it is fortifying, diuretic, emmenagogue, vulnerary, antiseptic, resolvative, and sternutatory. The root powdered is employed in diarrhea , dysentery, and quartan feers; it is also applied outwardly to bad ulcers, and in cases of gangrene. The flour is used in asthenia, rheumatic ers; pains, ORDER II.

Pardalianches is from πaρδoς, a tiger, and aγχεiv, to strangle; on account of the use said formerly to have been made of the plant for the purpose of destroying wild animals. 1752. Perdicium.

Named after the celebrated Helen, who is said to have availed herself of the cosmetic properties of the plant named after her. That is believed to be the modern Inula Helenium; the ancient name being unoccupied, it has been applied to this American genus, which resembles the other.

Plum. ic. 151. f. 2 Sl.jam.1.t.149.f.3 12205 12203 12208 History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 1756. Bellis. So called from bellus, pretty. Every one knows the daisy. 1757. Bellium. See Bellis, from which this genus differs chiefly in the pappus of the grains. 1758. Dahlia. Named after Andrew Dahl, a Swedish botanist, and pupil of Linnæus. Continental botanists call the genus Georgina. This genus grows in Mexico, in sandy meadows, and till the peace of 1814 was more cultivated in France than in England: at present it is one of the most fashionable hardy plants. Though its leaves are coarse, resembling those of the common dwarf elder, yet the flowers are showy, and continue in beauty till late in autumn. The plants grow freely in any soil or situation; but the poorer the ground is, the smaller the size of the plant, and the earlier and more abundant the flowers. The single-flowered varieties of D. superflua are almost without end; the double varieties of both species are much less numerous. Any number of the former may be raised from seeds, which ripen in abundance, and if sown in February on artificial heat, and transplanted in the end of April, they will flower in the July or August following. The double varieties are increased by dividing the roots, or by grafting, or by cuttings; they may also be sometimes raised from seeds. A very general way in which both kinds are propagated is by cuttings. They may be either taken from the root-shoots in spring, or the tops of the young shoots early in summer; the lower end of each cutting should be cut smoothly off in the middle of a joint, and all the leaves left on, excepting those that would be buried in planting the cutting. If planted in sandy soil, on a gentle bottom heat, and covered with a hand-glass, they will soon strike root, and produce both flowers and tubers the same autumn. The double sorts are grafted on tubers of the single varieties much in the manner of whip-grafting, but without a tongue. There must be no buds on the tuber; cut off a slice from the upper part of it, in a sloping direction, and make, at the bottom of the part so cut, a ledge, whereon to rest the graft; next, cut the scion sloping to fit, it should contain two joints, and be cut so that one of these may be at the bottom of it to rest on the ledge; from that joint the scion will occasionally put forth roots; from the other the future stem will be formed. Having tied the graft, clay it as in common grafting; then put the root in fine mould, burying half the graft, and place the pot in a gentle moist heat under a glass. If this be done in March, the plant may he shifted into a larger pot in April, and planted out in the end of May. As the Dahlia is a bulky plant, it requires either to be grown in a very large pot, or in from three quarters to a yard and a half of surface. They look well in rows, or occurring singly in a shrubbery. The treatment of the Dahlia bears a considerable resemblance to that of the potato and the marvel of Peru; as soon as the frost has blackened the tops of these three plants, their roots require to be taken up, and ORDER II.

About April they may be divided, and planted in the open air where they are to flower; or, what is more common planted in large pots, and forwarded in heat till the middle of May, when they may be turned out of the pots where they are finally to remain. In this case they will flower a month or six weeks earlier than by the other method, and will, in general, continue flowering till they are destroyed by frost. Some care is requisite to preserve the roots sufficiently moist and plump to maintain the living principle, and yet not to rot, shrivel, or freeze them. The safest mode is to plant them in pots or boxes of dry earth, and place them in a shed or cellar, or under an ample covering of litter thatched over. 1759. Bæbera. Bæber is said by Willdenow to have been a learned Russian botanist. 1760. Tagetes. Named after Tages, a Tuscan divinity, the son of Genius, and the grandson of Jupiter. T. patula is a tender annual, deservedly popular, from the brilliancy and variegation of its flowers: it is cultivated in Japan, China, and many parts of India, but does not appear to be indigenous of those countries. The varieties of T. erecta differ chiefly in the shades of the same color, but there are also double and quilled flowers. Both species are raised from seeds, upon a moderate hot-bed, in the beginning of April, and when they are three inches high, transplanted to where they are finally to remain. The varieties are very apt to degenerate, and can only be reproduced by the most careful selection and separation. This genus serves for the basis of M. Cassini's Tagetineæ, which do not appear to be at all distinct from Heliantheæ, from which they differ principally in the form of their ovarium. M. Cassini's principal motive for distinguishing them as a separate race, seems to have been his wish to reduce his tribe of Heliantheæ, which he finds too extensive. Nearly all the species are found in America. 1761. Heterospermum. From ἑτερoς, various, and σπερμη, seed; on account of the variable shape of the grains. 1762. Schkuhria. Named in honour of Christian Schkuhr, an acute German botanist, who has published some of the most accurate and useful, if not splendid, botanical works which the world has seen. It is to be regretted that their rarity makes them more generally unknown than they deserve to be. 1763. Pectis. From pecten, a comb, to which the teeth of the pappus may be compared. 1764. Longchampsia. So named after Doctor J. L. A. Loiseleur Deslongchamps, a French botanist, author of a useful Flora Gallica, in two small duodecimo volumes, published at Paris, the first in 1806, the second in 1807.
