Author of Travels in Palestine. A remarkable genus, supposed with some reason to be a monstrous alteration of a species of Tordylium. 667. Artedia. So named by Linnæus, in honor of Peter Artedi, a Swedish naturalist, one of the first who attempted to divide umbelliferous plants into genera. His method was followed by Linnæus, and was, perhaps, not more defective than many of those which have been proposed in modern days. He died in 1735. 668. Ferula. From ferire, to strike. The stalks were used as a rod for children, because they made more noise than harm. F. communis is one of the tallest of herbaceous plants. The flower-stalk soon becomes dry after the seeds ripen, and then the Sicilians take out the pith and use it for tinder. It is very abundant in is very abundant in Apulia, where it is eaten by buffaloes. Gerarde says, it grew to the height of fifteen feet in his garden in Holborn. The drug asafœtida is obtained from one or more species of this genus natives of Persia; and one species, the F. asafœtida, though introduced to our gardens in 1782, is now lost. The drug is the inspissated juice of the root, which being bared of earth and cut across at the top, it oozes out, and when dry, is scraped off as opium is from the capsule of the poppy. The plant grows three feet high, with yellow flowers and hemlocklike leaves and habit. 669. Laserpitium. The Latin name of the Silphion of the Greeks. D'Herbelot says, that the natives of Africa called the plant silphi or serpi, whence the Latins formed lac serpitium and Laserpitium. (Bibl.
