 Acmella of Linnius, fee Spilanthus, n. 3. The above 

 appellation is defigned to exprefs the ufe made of this plant 

 by the black fchool-mafters at Amboyna, who caufe their 

 young pupils to chew the flowers or the root, either alone

or with Betle-nut, in order that they may more eafJy pro^ 

 nounce fome of the difficult Arabic letters, fuch as Tfcha 

 and Xe, both which they commonly confound with S. 

 The Malay name, Daun murit. School-boy's herb, given to 

 this S,pilanthus, as well as to B'ldens p'llofa of Linnxus, has 

 the fame allulion. Such plants agree with Pelhtory of 

 Spain, Anthtmh Pyrethrum, in a peculiar property of fti- 

 mulating the mouth, accompanied by a fenfe of coolnefs, 

 and a flight fahne tafte, all which together caufe a great 

 flow of faliva. Hence they are beneficial in tooth-ache 

 arifing from cold rheum, but the flight numbnefs and 

 tingling of the nerves, which attend their ufe, ftiould feem, 

 rather unfavourable to precife enunciation. The recent 

 flowers of Spilanthus okracea, . flightly rubbed upon the 

 gums, are perhaps the beft of the whole tribe for pro- 

 ducing the above effefts.
