From πεuκη, a pine-tree, and davos, dwarf; a diminutive fir. The plant was so called on account of its strong smell, which resembles resin. 671. Pastinaca. One of the names given by the Latins to the Daucus of the Greeks. It is derived from pastus, nourishment. P. sativa is a well known culinary root, and grown also in agriculture for feeding cattle. It was much in use during Catholic times to eat with salted fish. In the north of Ireland a sort of beer is brewed from the roots mixed with hops; a very good wine is also made from them; and by distillation they yield an ardent spirit, similar to that afforded by the potatoe. The parsnep is much cultivated in Jersey and Guernsey, chiefly for feeding milch cows. The variety preferred is called the Coquaine, the roots of which, Dr.

Macculloch informs us (Caled. Hort. Mem. i. 408.), sometimes run four feet deep, and are rarely so small in circumference as six inches. The time of sowing is February and March, in drills to admit of stirring the soil between the rows. They should be thinned so as that each plant may have a surface of twelve or fourteen square inches, and, with the usual routine culture, the crop will be mature in October. They may be taken up and housed like the carrot, or as wanted for use: as they are not easily injured by frost, the latter mode is the best, where they are grown only for the table.

P. opopaпax (oπoς, juice, πav, all, and azos, cure: a cure for all complaints) produces from its stem, when it cut, a gum resin which is a famous cure in the East for all sorts of maladies. is cut, a gum resin which is a famous cure in the East for all sorts of maladies. 672. Heracleum. Named after the hero Hercules, who, according to a modern French author, was not only a a great doctor and botanist. H. Sphondylium (from oporduros, a vertebra, in allusion to the warrior but a great doctor and botanist. H. Sphondylium (from σφovδuλoς, a vertebra, in allusion to the jointed stem), the Heilkraut of the Germans, is common in most parts of Europe. The seeds smell somewhat ORDER II.

Gmelin, informs us, that the inhabitants of Kamtchatka, about the beginning of July, collect the footstalks of the radical leaves, and after peeling off the rind, which is very acrid, dry them separately in the sun, and then tying them in bundles, lay them up carefully in the shade in bags ; in this state they are covered with a yellow saccharine efflorescence, tasting like liquorice; this being shaken off, is eaten as a great delicacy. From the stalks thus prepared and fermented with bilberries the Russians distil an ardent spirit, which, Gmelin says, is more agreeable to the taste than spirits made from corn. A kind of ale is brewed from the leaves and seeds in Poland and Lithuania, and attempts have been made to extract sugar from this plant, but forty pounds of the dried stalks only yielded a quarter of a pound of powdery sugar. The young shoots may be eaten as asparagus. Rabbits and swine are fond of the leaves, but not horses. H. sibiricum is used in the same manner in the north of Siberia and Kamtchatka. 673. Tordylium. Bodæus à Stapel thinks that the derivation of the name is to be found in τoρvoς, a lathe, and iλλω, to turn, because the seeds seem as if turned in a lathe. But this seems to be a commentator's guess only. 674. Astrantia. From asgov, a star, and avτi, similar; so called with reference to the beautiful starlike dispositon of the involucrum of all the species, and of A. minor in particular. 675. Zosima. Named by Hoffmann, in honor of the three famous brothers Zosimades, the celebrated patrons of so many fine editions of the Greek classics. A remarkable plant, formerly referred to Heracleum, native of most of the eastern parts of the world. 676. Rumia. Named by Hoffman after Rumia or Rumina, the goddess who presided over suckling, on 677. CA'CHRYS. W. 3750 Libanótis W. 3751 Morisóni W.

There was also a Dr. Rumy, professor of agriculture in some Polish university. 677. Cachrys. One of the names given by the Romans to the Rosemary. According to Morison, the name was derived from xxiw, to grow hot, on account of the carminative qualities of the plant. The Cossacks of derived from κaiω, to grow hot, on account of the carminative qualities of the plant. The Cossacks of the Jäik chew the seeds of C. odontalgica for pain in the teeth, and obtain relief by the copious salivation which follows their use. This genus is well known by its corky large smooth seeds. 678. Hippomarathrum. From ἱππoς μaρaθρov, horse-fennel, on account of its size compared with that of common fennel. 679. Viburnum. This name is derived, according to the account of Sebastian Vaillant, from the Latin word viere, to tie, on account of the pliability of the branches of some species. V. tinus (τivov, small, dwarf, tiny) is one of the most ornamental of evergreen shrubs, with shining leaves and shewy white flowers, which appear during the winter months. V. lucidum and strictum are taller and more tender than the common species, of which they are by many considered as only varieties. V. lantana (from lento, to tie) grows chiefly on calcareous soils: it has pliant mealy twigs, and the bark affords a bird lime.

V. opulus, (alteration of populus) var roseum, is a most ornamental shrub, producing large white bunches of ORDER III.

The tree was always famous for this quality; so that Pliny says it of this tree, on account of its hardness. The tree was always famous for this quality; so that Pliny says it consists of nothing but skin and bones. (b. xvi. c. 39.) S. ebulus is supposed to prevent diseases in swine if used as litter: the root is violently cathartic, the leaves drive away mice, and the berries dye blue. S. nigra with its varieties, and S. racemosa, are very shewy trees in shrubberies when in flower and fruit. S. nigra is narcotic, purgative, and acrid; the flowers in decoction are diaphoretic and expectorant; used to nigra is narcotic, purgative, and acrid; the flowers in decoction are diaphoretic and expectorant; used to flavor vinegar, and deleterious to turkeys. The French put layers of them in heaps or casks of apples, to which they communicate a most agreeable odor. The berries are poisonous to poultry; but make a powerful wine much in esteem among country people. As the common elder will grow either exposed to the sea breeze or on high mountains, it is recommended as a nurse-plant in forming plantations. To thrive and be productive as a fruit tree however, it requires a deep, rather moist, and rich soil. 681. Rhus. Derived from the same root as Rosa, rhudd, in Celtic, signifying red, on account of the color of the fruit. Pas, in Greek. Sumach, its English name, is an alteration of simáq, its name in Arabic.

The species from the Cape of Good Hope rarely flower in this country, and are chiefly cultivated for the sake of their foliage, which is neat and not susceptible of injury from bad management.

R. Coriaria is used instead of oak bark for tanning leather, and it is said that that of Turkey is chiefly tanned with this plant. The seeds are in common use at Aleppo at meals to provoke an appetite. Both leaves and seeds are used in medicine as astringent and styptic. R. javanica in China affords an oil by bruising the berries and boiling them in water: they use it as a varnish, but it does not keep its polish so well as the oil of R. vernix. R. glabra has berries which dye red, and the branches boiled with the berries afford a black ink-like tincture. This plant is like a weed in some parts of North America, where it overruns land left for a few years in pasture. transparent that when R. vernix affords the true Japan varnish, which oozes out of the tree on its being wounded, and grows thick and black when exposed to the air. It is so transparent, that when_laid pure and unmixed upon boxes or furniture, every vein of the wood may be clearly seen. With it the Japanese varnish over the posts of their doors and windows, their drawers, chests, boxes, scymitars, fans, tea-cups, soup-dishes, and most articles of household furniture made of wood. The milky juice of the plant stains linen a dark brown. The whole shrub is in a high degree poisonous; and the poison is communicated by touching or smelling any part of it. In forty-eight hours inflammation appears on the skin, in large blotches, principally on the extremities, and on the glandular parts of the body: soon after small pustules rise in the inflamed parts, and fill with watery matter, attended with burning and itching. In two or three days the eruptions suppurate; after which the inflammation subsides, and the ulcers heal in a short time. It operates, however, somewhat differently upon 4 ORDER III.

Persons of irritable habits are most liable to receive it.

Rhus aromatica and suaveolens, the male and female of one species, have been made into a distinct genus Rhus by Desvaux and Turpinia, and afterwards Lobadium, by the ingenious the consistence and afterwards Lobadium, by the ingenious M. Rafinesque Schmaltz. The expressed oil of the seed of this species, and also of R. succedanea, acquires the consistence of and for making candles.

R. Toxicodendron is poisonous to some persons, like R. vernix, but in a less degree. Kalm relates, that of two sisters, one could manage the tree without being affected by its venom, whilst the other felt its exhalations as soon as she came within a yard of it, or even, when she stood to windward of it, at a greater distance; that it had not the least effect upon him, though he had made many experiments upon himself, and once the juice squirted into his eye; but that on another person's hand, which he had covered very thick with it, the skin, a few hours after, became as a piece of tanned leather, and peeled off afterwards in scales. R. pumila is another dangerous species. Lyons, the collector, suffered severely for several weeks, after only collecting the seeds.

R. cotinus is cultivated for tanning leather near Valcimara in the Apennines, where it is called Scotino. 682. Cassine. An American name. These are shrubs with handsome foliage, but generally inconspicuous white or green flowers. C. Maurocenia has its specific name in honor of the Venetian senator F. Mauroceni, who had a fine garden at Padua. 683. Spathelia. The upright habit and want of bra ches make this tree resemble a palm-tree, anciently called Σπaθη.
