Angelon is the name of the plant among the Spanish colonists of Caraccas, where it grows. A very beautiful stove herbaceous plant, with large light-blue flowers. 1372. Schizanthus. From σχiζω, to cut, and avθoς, a flower, in allusion to the numerous divisions of the beautiful purple and yellow flowers. Tender annual plants, with finely cut pale green leaves, and termina panicles of elegant flowers. 1373. Besleria. After Basil Besler, an apothecary at Nuremberg, joint editor with Jungermann, of a sumptuous work entitled Hortus Eystettensis, 1613. The garden belonged to Bishop Conrad, of Eichstedt, and the plates were engraved at his expense. 1374. Teedia. So named by Persoon, but the meaning is unknown. Pretty herbaceous plants, with bright purple flowers and dark berries. 1375. Brunsfelsia. In memory of Otho Brunsfels, of Mentz, a Carthusian monk, and afterwards a physician, author of Figures of Plants in 1530. He died in 1534. The species are handsome tropical shrubs, with neat foliage and shewy white or purple flowers. Cuttings with a little ripened wood strike root freely in heat.

Celsia. In honor of Olaus Celsius, D. D., surnamed the northern Pliny, professor of the oriental languages in the university of Upsal. His Hierobotanicon, or History of the Plants of Scripture, appeared in 1745. There was also another Swedish botanist called Magnus Nicolaus Celsus, who died in 1679. Besides these moderns, the name is rendered familiar to classical scholars by the recollection of the famous Aurelius rendered familiar to classical scholars by the recollection of the famous Aurelius Cornelius Celsus, who wrote upon agriculture and medicine, and whose purity of style procured him the agriculture and medicine, and whose purity of style procured him the name of the Cicero of medicine. 1377. Alonsoa. Named by the authors of the Flora Peruviana, after Zanoni Alonso, at the time of the publication of that work, Spanish secretary for the kingdom of Santa Fé, and a great patron of objects connected with natural history. Sir James Smith considers the genus the same as Hemimeris. 1378. Anthocercis. From avθoς, a flower, and κερκiς, a ray, the narrow divisions of the corolla spreading in a radiant manner, like the spokes of a wheel. 1379. Cymbaria. From κuμβη, a boat, in allusion to the shape of the fruit. A small pubescent hoary plant, native of mountainous rocky places in Siberia.

CLASS XV.

CLASS XV. - TETRADYNAMIA. STAMENS 6, of which four are longer than the rest. THIS class consists, with the exception of Cleome, entirely of the natural order Cruciferæ, and has lately been the subject of the most acute and successful investigation of many botanists of celebrity. Our countryman, subject of the most acute and successful investigation of many botanists of celebrity. Our countryman, Mr. Brown, led the way to the improvements which have been made in the genera , in the second edition of the Hortus Kewensis, in which, discarding the uncertain and unnatural characters derived from variations in the floral envelopes, he took a new course, and by indicating with great precision the curious modifications of the seeds and seed-vessels, led the way to an entirely new arrangement of the class. The principles thus developed have been adopted by M. Decandolle, whose learned treatise upon Cruciferæ is here followed without variation.

The difference between the genera with a long pod (Siliquosa), and those with a short one (Siliculose), has given rise to two orders in the Linnean system. But these are not only ambiguous, but interfere so much with a distribution of the genera according to their natural affinities, that they have been rejected here, and the divisions of M. Decandolle, depending upon variation in the relative position of the various parts of the seed, have been substituted.

The plants of this class have always been celebrated for their antiscorbutic qualities. These seem to reside in an acrid, oily, volatile principle, not yet determined by chemists, and varying in the degree of abundance in an acrid, oily, volatile principle, not yet determined by chemists, and varying in the degree of abundance in which it is found in different species. It is particularly abundant in the seeds of mustard and garden rocket, in the roots of the horse radish, and in the foliage of the Lepidium latifolium , which, administered inwardly, act powerfully upon the gastric organs, or, applied externally, inflame the skin and operate nearly as severely as blisters.

A slighter degree of acrimony is found in the foliage of the scurvy grass, the roots of the garden radish, & c .; and these, therefore, operate more gently, and perhaps more safely, when eaten, scarcely at all when applied outwardly. Whatever the degree of acrimony may be in these plants, they all appear, when eaten, to produce some specific action upon the digestive organs, and thence upon scorbutic humours; for which reason, the horse radish, water-cress, radishes, and even cabbages are eminently antiscorbutic. They are also admitted by physicians as diuretic, sialagogue, and diaphoretic. It is only when the acrid principle is diffused over a considerable quantity of fleshy and watery substance, that cruciferous plants become eatable, as in the leaves and stems of cabbages and sea-kail, and in the roots of radishes and turnips. Even in these plants, the proportion of acrid principle is much diminished by exclusion from light. Plants of this class are also remarkable for containing a larger quantity of azote than most vegetables ; for which reason ammonia is generally evolved in their fermentation or putrefaction: to which circumstance it is possible that the two remarkable phænomena are to be attributed, viz.; that cruciferous plants contain a greater portion of nutritive matter than most herbaceous plants; and that they require either a very rich soil manured with animal substances, or at least a situation near the habitations of men. oil, and the seeds of Camelina sativa, Brassica campestris, some species of Rocket, &c. are cultivated in many The embryos of all these plants are filled with parts of Europe for the sake of their expressed oil, which is used either for culinary purposes or for lamps.

Cruciferous plants are chiefly natives of temperate climates, those which are found within the tropics being in all cases mountain plants, and are nearly all cultivable in the open air ; they are mostly found in open all cases mountain plants, and are nearly all cultivable in the open air; they are mostly found in open sandy plains; some on the tops of the highest mountains at the utmost limits of vegetation. Nine hundred species are now described, of which not more than twenty-two are to be found in the works of Hippocrates, Theophrastus, Dioscorides, or Pliny.
