Beccabunga (latinised from bachbunge, its German appellation: bach is a brook; beck, provincial English), is sometimes gathered with watercresses, with which it is often found in limpid streams, and used as a spring salad. Almost all the species thrive in any soil or situation; the tallest are ornamental border flowers; the dwarf spreading sorts are well adapted for rock-work, edgings, or to be grown in pots. A few delight in peat soil, and some in moist situations; all are increased by seed, subdividing at the root, or cuttings. V. decussata will endure the open air if protected from frost. 41. Galipea. A name framed by Aublet from the vernacular appellation of the plant in French Guiana, where it is a native. 42. Schwenckia. John Theodore Schwenck was a professor of medicine at Jena; died in 1671. There was another Schwenck a professor of botany to the garden at Leyden. The genus is, like the merits of the professors, but little known. One inconspicuous species is occasionally seen in our stoves. The ORDER I.

Gratiola. From gratia, grace (of God). Matthiolus called it gratia Dei, in allusion to its effects. G. officinalis is so bitter and obnoxious to cattle, that Haller assures us, there are meadows about Yverdun officinalis is so bitter and obnoxious to cattle, that Haller assures us, there are meadows about Yverdun rendered entirely useless by its abundance.
It is a powerful cathartic, and was long in use as such, but now laid aside. 44. Schizanthus. So named by the authors of the Flora Peruviana, from σχiζώ, to cut, and avθoς, a flower. One of the most beautiful of herbaceous genera. Two species or rather varieties are now known, and ornament the green-house with their elegant panicles of lilac and white flowers. They are difficult of cultivation, requiring a very pure and moist atmosphere. They may be propagated by cuttings, but the best plants are raised from seeds, which have not hitherto been obtained, except from flowers artificially impregnated. 45. ELYTRA'RIA. M.

Elytraria. From ελuτρov, an envelope, its stem being covered with sheaths or scaly envelopes. Little herbaceous plants of no ornament. 46. Hypoestes; ὑπoεσθης, is an interior garment: it is probable that the involucrum suggested the application of the name. The plants have the habit of Justicia, from which they have been separated, and are chiefly tropical weeds. 47. Justicia. In honor of James Justice, F.R.S., an eminent Scotch cultivator, author of the Scotch Gardener's Director, published in 1784. J. pectoralis has the smell of new hay, combined with a refreshing aroma. In Domingo and Martinico the inhabitants make a syrup of it, which they use against disorders of the breast. The bruised leaves are good in wounds, whence the English appellation balsam, and the and the French name herbe à charpentiére. J. nasuta is said to possess extraordinary aphrodisiacal powers, and milk boiled in the roots is much employed on that account by Indian physicians. Rubbed with limejuice, the roots are used to cure ring-worms. Most of the species are free flowerers, some as J. lucida ORDER I.

A name applied by the ancients to their Anthemis, from εaς, spring, and avθoς, a flower. The word has been applied to the present genus with no apparent reason. The species are very pretty ornaments of the stove. 50. Wulfenia. Named after F. X. Wulfen, a German botanist, and author of a work on the plants of Carinthia. A small and very beautiful herbaceous plant. 51. Calceolaria. From calceolus, a slipper, in allusion to the shape of the corolla. C. pinnata may be raised from seed in a hot-bed in spring, and transplanted to the borders with other tender annuals.
