V. officinalis was held sacred among the ancients, and used in making leagues by ambassadors, sacrificial rites, incantations, &c.; and by the moderns as an amulet, and for medical purposes: it is now, however, entirely out of use. 1323. Avicennia. Named after Abu Vali Ibn Tsin, commonly called Avicennes, a Persian physician, born in 980, died in 1036. His Rules of Medicine were formerly the text-book of physicians, and have occupied the learning and time of many commentators. 1324. Caldasia. Named by Willdenow in compliment to Don Josef Caldas, an eminent botanist, native of Popayan, in New Grenada. 1325. Clerodendrum. From κληρoς, accident, and δεvδρov, a tree, in allusion to the various effects in medicine by its various species. Clerodendrum fortunatum is useful, C. calamitosum and infortunatum, dangerous. The species grow freely in light rich soil, composed of half loam, one-fourth of rotten dung, and one-fourth peat. They require a large pot to flower freely, and cuttings root readily under a hand-glass: the younger the shoots the better. The handsomest species are C. paniculatum and C. squamatum. (Bot. Cult. 41.) C. inerme is hardy enough to live in the open air against a wall, but it must have the protection of a mat in winter. 1326 Volkameria. Named after John Christopher Volkamer, a German botanist, who died in 1720. John ORDER II.

From κiθaρa, a lyre (hence guitar), and ξuλov, wood. This tree produces a wood which in America is very useful for carpenters' work. It is very hard, and has been supposed applicable to making musical instruments, a mistake which arose thus; C. melanocardium is called by the French fidéle, mistake which arose thus; C. melanocardium is called by the French fidéle, from its faithfulness or durability in building the English have corrupted the name to fiddle-wood, as if it in building; the English have corrupted the name to fiddle -wood, as if it were used for making musical instruments, which is a mistake.
