41 G. sytva’ticum (Lin. spec. 954.) stem round, erect, 
smooth ; leaves somewhat 5-7-lobed, with the lobes oblong, deep- 
ly-toothed; peduncles rather corymbose; petals somewhat 
emarginate, hairy at the claws; filaments of stamens ciliated to 
the middle. Y%.H. Native of the north of Europe in thickets 
and pastures. Plentiful in the north of England and Scotland in 
thickets by the sides of rivers or rivulets. Smith, engl. bot. t.

42 G. BATRACHIOTDES (Cav. 
diss. 4. p. 211. t. 85. f. 1.) stem 
round, erect, hairy; leaves with 
5-7 deep lobes, which are pinnati- 
fid, or deeply-serrated ; peduncles 
rather corymbose ; petals entire ; 
filaments of stamens awl-shaped, 
ciliated at the middle. ww. H. 
Native of the south of Europe in 
woods. Calyx inflated. Flowers 
larger than those of G. sylvdticum, 
blue. This species differs from 
G. sylvaticum in having leaves 
more like those of G. praténse, 
and in the flowers being larger and 
blue, with entire petals, never 
notched. We are of opinion that 
the double flowering variety of G. 
praténse in the gardens is a variety of this species.

of North America from Canada to Carolina, in shady woods and 
meadows. Cav. diss. 4. t. 86. f. 2. Bigel. am. med. bot. 1. 
p. 84. t. 8.—Sweet, ger. 332. Flowers pale-lilac, some- 
times as large as those of G. praténse, at others one-half 
smaller. This species is known in some parts of the mountains 
of North America by the name of alum root, on account of the 
astringent taste of its roots, which are very successfully employ- 
ed in curing the flux and dysentery among children, which is a 
disease very prevalent in those countries. It may be used in 
powder or in extract. Its doses are similar to those of kino, a 
drachm or two of the tincture, 20 or 30 grains of the powder, 
and a quantity somewhat less of the extract. The tincture forms 
an excellent external application in sore throats and ulcerations 
of the mouth. The experiments of D. Bigelow indicate the 
presence of tannin and gallic acid, the former in large quantities. 
The proportion of tannin seems considerably to exceed that of 
the kino. Alcohol and proof spirit readily dissolve the active 
constituents of the root. The tincture is the most convenient 
mode for keeping the article for use. i
