Valeriana, Neclcer. Said by some to be named 

 after Valerius, who first used it in medicine ; 

 others assert that it is derived from valere, to 

 be in health, on account of the medicinal 

 qualities of V. officinalis. Linn. 3, Or. 1, 

 Nat. Or. Valeriandceas. Most of the species 

 are very ornamental in flower-borders. The 

 perfectly hardy kinds succeed well in common 

 garden soil ; those from warmer climates 

 should be grown in pots in a mixture of loam, 

 sand, and peat, and placed in a frame or 

 greenhouse in. winter. They are all readily 

 increased by division at the root. The root of 

 V. officinalis is eminently anti-spasmodic. It 

 is very frequently prescribed with success in 

 hysterical cases. In habitual costiveness it is 

 an excellent medicine. The unpleasant flavour 

 of Valerian is best counteracted by a small 

 addition of mace. Synonym.es: 1, V. hetero- 

 ph$lla; 2, V. Carddmines. See Patrinia. 



Valerianace^b, or Valerian-worts. These 

 are annual or perennial herbs, principally 

 natives of temperate climates. The roots of 

 Valerian are well known in medicine, and the 

 Spikenard of the ancients (Nardostdchys Jata- 

 mdnsi) is much esteemed in India botn for its 

 fragrance and for its medical properties. 



ValerianIslla, Mcench. From a diminutive of 

 Valeriana, which see. Linn. 3, Or. 1, Nat. 

 Or. Valerianacece. The species only require to 

 be sown in early spring, in the open border. 

 They answer well for a spring salad, and are 

 generally known by the narhe of Lamb's-lettuce.
