The species are for the most part shewy border flowers of easy culture. D. purpurea, found both with purple and white flowers, is one of the most ornamental of native plants in rocky copses, neglected hedges, and by road sides. Its large tall spike attracts not only the botanist and florist, but is even conspicuous enough to be introduced in the painter's landscape of such scenery. It is a violent poison; but also a valuable plant in medicine. The leaves are the parts of the plant used. They should be gathered when the plant is in flower, and those only which are fresh selected. The leafstalks and midrib should be rejected, and the remaining part be dried either in the sunshine, or on a tin-pan or pewter dish before the fire, or the plant be hung up, each leaf separate, in a warm kitchen. Practitioners ought annually to obtain a supply of the recent leaves in the month of July, and dry them themselves; as in the herb-shops they are often so îll dried as to appear black, in which state they are useless. The powder should be kept in closely stopped opaque phials. Digitalis is directly sedative and diuretic. It weakens the force of all the vital functions; and by a proper exhibition of it, the frequency of the pulse may be diminished any number of pulsations, and regulated at the pleasure of the practitioner; whilst at the same time it admits, to a certain extent, of the employment of such medicines as increase the firmness of the arterial action, and give tone to the habit. When given to the ORDER II.

(London Dispensatory, 287.) 1356. Scrophularia. So named from the roots having a resemblance to scrophulous tumours, which they were, by the peculiar mode of induction of the dark ages, therefore supposed to cure. S. nodosa has the name of figwort from its knobbed roots: it has a rank smell like elder, and a bitter taste; swine that have the scab are cured by washing them with a decoction of the leaves. Wasps resort greatly to the flowers. Goats eat the plant; but cows, horses, sheep and swine refuse it The same observations apply to S. aquatica, which in French is called Herbe du Siege, because at the celebrated siege of Rochelle by Cardinal Richelieu in 1628, the garrison was reduced to the necessity of supporting life upon the roots of the plant. 1357. Vandellia. Louis Vandelli, a Portuguese, was professor of botany in the garden of Coimbra. He published in 1788, an essay on the plants of Portugal and Brazil, a work which is little known, on account of its extreme rarity.
