—Shrubs, rarely herbaceous; having a strong disagreeable 
scent; stems with a solid spongy pith. Leaves opposite, stalked, 
pinnate ; leaflets toothed, pinnate, or jagged, bi-stipellate or 
bi-glandular at the base. Flowers white or purplish, disposed in 
terminal cymes, which are in some flat and in others thyrsoid. 
Berries purplish, cathartic. Those plants of the genus which 
have pinnate or jagged leaflets are not true species but only 
varieties, all the true species having only toothed leaflets. 
* Leaves pinnate. Flowers cymose or corymbose.

Our ancestors evinced a just hatred of their brutal ae 
the Danes, in supposing this nauseous, fetid, and noxious Pied 
to have sprung from their blood ; hence it was formerly calle 
Dane-wort. Its qualities are violently purgative, pecan 
emetic; yet a rob of the fruit is said to have been taken Ma 
safety, as far as an ounce. The foliage is not eaten by oe 
nor will moles come where these leaves, or those of any of the — 
species are laid. They also drive away mice from granaries, 
and the Silesians strew them where their pigs lie, under the P 
suasion that they prevent some of the diseases to which swine 
are liable. The specific name is from evodn, eubole, an erup

Var. B, himilis (Mill. dict. no. 5.). Mr. Miller maxes : 
a distinct species. He says that the roots do not creep a 
much; that the stems do not rise so high; that the aie 
have seldom more than 7 leaflets, and towards the top On SH 
longer and narrower than in the common dwarf elder, deeply 
on their edges, and ending with winged acute points. ee 
Savi collected this variety about Pisa.
