So named in honor of Isaac Rand, F.R.S., who published the first catalogue of the Apothecaries' Garden at Chelsea. 491. Mussænda. A name by which Burmann designates a plant of this genus. V. fl. Zeyl. t. 76. The species are all of singular beauty, and especially distinguished by the large colored segment of the calyx, which is either white or purple, and very remarkable. all of singular beauty, and especially distinguished by the large colored segment of the calyx, which is either white or purple, and very remarkable. 492. Pinckneya. So named by Michaux, after some American gentleman of the name of Pinckney, who is now forgotten. The genus is nearly the same as Mussænda. It thrives best, according to Sweet, when turned out against a south wall, and protected by a mat in frosty weather. 493. Erithalis. A name given by Pliny to a plant remarkable for the verdure of its foliage ; εi, a particle signifying augmentation, and θaλλω, to be green. It is now applied to a pretty genus of South American plants. 494. Webera. In honor of G. Henry Weber, a German botanist, who published Flora Gottingensis, in plants with bunches of white flowers. 1778, and other works of merit. He is chiefly known for the attention he bestowed upon muscology. Small , and other works of merit. He is chiefly known for the attention he bestowed upon muscology. Small plants with bunches of white flowers. 495. Plocama. From πλoκaμoς interwined hair, on account of its pendulous twisted branches. A little bush with the habit of some kind of Galium. The flowers are very small, and not much longer than the calyx. 496. Morinda. Morus indica, Indian mulberry; so named by Vaillant, from the shape and color of its fruit. The bark of the roots of this genus is used in the E. Indies to dye yellow. 497. Cephaelis. From κεφaλη, a head, on account of the flowers being united in heads, remarkable for the large, often colored, involucrum in which they are enveloped. Species are very rare in collections; and require a high temperature. 498. Sarcocephalus. From σaρκoς flesh, and κεφaλη, a head, in allusion to the large fleshy fruit of the genus. This is like a pine-apple without its crown, of a dull uniform color, and consisting of a solid fleshy mass containing many minute seeds. The flavor is said to be excellent. A plant now common in gardens near London, but it has not yet fruited. 499. Hirtella. Derived from hirtus, hairy. Its branches are covered with fine hair. Some of these are tall trees of the tropics, usually supporting themselves upon other plants. Flowers, which are generally blue or purple, are rarely seen in this country. Cuttings root in sand under a hand-glass.

Triphasia. A name of Loureiro, derived from τρiφaσioς, triple, on account of the triple divisions of its flowers, and ternary disposition of its leaves. It is the Limonia trifoliata of gardens, a common bush, sometimes covered over with the little orange berries, which have an agreeable orange-like taste. 501. Vitis. From the Celtic gwyd, a tree or shrub. The G being suppressed in the pronunciation, according to the usage of Celtic nations, the Latins have made of it vitis; the Spaniards vid; the French vigne; and the English vine. The term muscat, applied to particular kinds of grape, is not derived from the perfumed or musky flavor of those varieties, but from the berries attracting flies, musca, for which reason the Latins called the kind vitis apiaria.
V. vinifera is universally known for its fruit, and for producing the first liquor in the world; a liquor which, notwithstanding all that is said of its dangerous qualities, is yet eagerly drank by all who can procure it, and preferred before all others by those who are unlimited in their means and choice. The grape vine is among fruits what wheat is among the cereal grasses, or the potatoe among the farinaceous roots; and, like them, in every country where it will grow, it is cultivated with pre-eminent care. In Britain, its culture is now confined to the garden as a dessert fruit; though formerly grown in many places for the wine-press. Besides the V. vinifera, the V. labrusca (from busca, the Hebrew for grape) and laciniosa are all cultivated, and both are now so intermingled with the first species by hybrid products, ucts, that for all practical purposes they may be considered as only varieties. The varieties of the grape in countries where it is grown for the wine-press, are almost as numerous as the vineyards; for as these for the most part differ in soil, aspect, elevation, or otherwise, and as the vine is greatly the child of local circumstances, its habits soon become adapted to those in which it is placed. When it is considered that a vineyard once planted will last two or three centuries, it will readily be conceived that the nature of a variety may be totally changed during only a part of that time. The varieties most in esteem for wine making, are small berries, and bunches with an austere taste. The Burgundy, as modified by different soils and situations, may be considered the most general vineyard grape of France, from Champagne or Marne to Marseilles and Bourdeaux. The best wine in Italy and Spain is also made from grapes of this description; but in both countries many of the larger berried sorts are grown as being more productive of liquor. The sweet vines, as the Malmsey, Madeira, Constantia, Tokay, &c. are made from sweet-berried grapes allowed to remain on the plants till over ripe. That wine is the strongest, and has most flavor, in which both the skins and stones are bruised and fermented. The same thing is the case in making cider; but in both processes bruising the stones or kernels is often neglected. 2861 cordifólia Ph. 2864 laciniósa W. 2865 cæ'sia Sab. 2866 cordáta Mich. 2867 bipinnáta Mich. 2862 ripária Ph. 2863 rotundifólia Ph. 502.
