Mor (H t f Mem petr t History Use)

h.3. t.19. f.7 Mem. petr.2.t.11 319 324 325 327 335 History, Use, Propagation, Culture, C. corymbosa and paralia, are exceedingly beautiful herbaceous plants of difficult increase. The shrubby and branching herbaceous kinds are easily propagated by cuttings. 52. Pinguicula. From pinguis, fat, on account of the greasiness of its leaves. In P. vulgaris, the structure of the stigma, and its close application to the stamens is very remarkable. Linnæus says, that the warm milk of the rein-deer poured on the fresh leaves, and set aside for a day or two, becomes acescent; acquires consistence and tenacity, and neither the whey nor the cream separate. In this state it is considered a very grateful food in Sweden and Norway. On cows' milk it acts like common rennet. The plant eaten by sheep has been supposed to produce the liver-rot; but a flat apterous insect, the fasciola hepatica or fluke, found adhering to stones and plants in boggy grounds, as well as in the liver and biliary ducts of sheep affected by the rot, is a more likely cause, and the more especially as no animal whatever will feed on the plant. The species (except P. gra grandiflora) are cultivated with difficulty in artificial shaded morass. P. grandiflora will thrive well on a dry northern bed of bog-mould among North American shrubs. 53. Utricularia. From utricula, a little bottle, from the small inflated appendages to the root. The species are scarcely susceptible of cultivation: they are very numerous in hot countries, and there form the most elegant ornaments of rivulets and pools of water. The flowers are fugacious, and so delicate as not to be capable of preservation as dried specimens, in which state their naturally beautiful colors of purple, pink, violet, or yellow, all change to a dead and uniform black.

Stachytarpheta, saxus, a spike, and τaρφεioς, dense. The name would be better changed, as it has been by Link, to Stachytarpha. This genus is partly composed of Verbena, L. S. mutabilis is a beautiful species, and , to Stachytarpha. This genus is partly composed of Verbena, L. S. mutabilis is a beautiful species, and nearly always in flower. All of them strike readily in heat under glass. 55. Lycopus. From λuκoς, a wolf, and wες, a foot, on account of a fancied resemblance between the cut leaves and a wolf's foot. Le Marrube aquatique, Fr. Der Wolfsfuss, Ger., and Licopo, Ital. L. europæus is common in most parts of Europe in meadows, but is not eaten by cattle. It dyes black, and gives a permanent color to linen, wool, and silk. Withering says, gypsies stain their skin with it. According to Adamson, it has two barren filaments; and Pollich remarks, that there are sometimes 82 flowers in a whorl. 56. Amethystea. From aμεθuσoς, the amethyst, alluding to the color of the flower. A pretty annual, not very common in gardens. in gardens. 57. Ziziphora. Etymology uncertain. This genus, and the two following, consist of little herbaceous plants resembling thyme: they are generally pretty, and easily cultivated. It would, perhaps, have been better to unite, with some writers, Ziziphora, Cunila, and Hedeoma, in one genus. 58. Cunila. A Roman name applied by Linnæus to this genus. The plants of Pliny bore some resemblance to those which compose the Linnæan Cunila. (See No. 57.) The leaves of C. mariana are used in decoction for colds. 59. Hedeoma, ήδuoςμa, a Greek name for mint. (See No. 57.) 60. Monarda. In honor of Nicolas Monardez, a physician of Seville in the 16th century.
