Buffrutlcls nostralis, cortex baLsameus amaro-adslrlngens (cortex Tamarisci 

 V. Tamaricis) imprimis in iclero laudatur. Myricariae /lerbaceae Desv. 

 ramulos juniores Mougoli pro potu tliealo, lignum inler medicinas roboranies

 numeratur, inodorus, saporis leviter ausleri, maslicalus salivam rubro tingit. 

 Tam mirabilem Tamaricis anlipathiam contra lienis viscus veterum quidam per- 

 hibent, ut affirment, si ex ea alveis factis bibant sues, sine liene inveniri. £t 

 Ideo liomini fiuoque splenico cibura polumque dabant in vasis ex ea factis. 



Tamarix inannifera Ehrenb., specie a gallica vix diversa, in Arabift 

 petraea et in monte Sinai frequens nascilur, e ramulis Cocci mannipari ictu sau- 

 ciatis subslantiam dulcem, muco-saccbari copia refertam (Ma?inatn tatnarisci" 

 nam) plorat, Hebraeorum in deserto fatis famosam. Gallae in Tamaricis specie- 

 bus plerisque insectorum iclu nascentes, ob virtutem veliementius adstringentem 

 praedicautur.
