 " No Rosaceous plants are unwholesome ; they are chiefly remarkable 

 for the presence of an astringent principle, which has caused some of them 

 to be reckoned febrifuges. — One of the most powerful anthelmintics in the 

 world, an Abyssinian plant, known to botanists by the name of Brayera 

 anthelminthica, Kth. belongs to this family. Upon the authority of Bra- 

 yer, after whom is it named, two or three doses of the infusion are suffi- 

 cient to cure the most obstinate cases of taenia." (Lindl.)
