CYSTANTHE, from zun?, a bladder, and a.^n, afotver, 

 exprefling the appearance of the corolla. — Brown Prodr. 

 Nov. HoU. V. I. 555. — Clafs and order, Pentandria Mono- 

 gynia. Nat. Ord. Epacr'idea, Br. 



Eff. Ch. Calyx leafy. CoroUa clofed, like a lid, fplit- 

 ting tranfverfely ; the torn bale permanent. Stamens in- 

 ferted into the receptacle, permanent. Neftariferous fcales 

 none. Capfule with many feeds ; receptacles pendulous from 

 the top of the central column. 



I. C fprengeliana. — Native of Van Diemen's ifland. A 

 Jhrub, refembling Sprengelia, Ponceletia, and Cofmelia, except 

 the branches being marked with annular fears after the fall 

 of the leaves. A fhort -leaved variety grows on the moun- 

 tain tops, but on their {hady fides the plant bears more 

 elongated, fpreading, recurved leaves. 



CYSTITIS. Inflammation of the bladder is rarely a 

 primar)' difeafe, but generally comes on as a confequence of 

 fome other affeftion in the neighbouring parts ; or of htho- 

 tomy, accidental injuries, &c. The fymptoms attending it 



are, tenfion and pain over the pubes, with a frequent defire to 

 make water, difficulty in voiding it, or a total retention, with 

 tenefmus and fever. 



The treatment recommended for Nephritis is here alfo 

 applicable. In particular, venefeclion, leeches to the hypo- 

 gaftric region, the warm bath, aperient medicines, and cmol- 

 hent clyfters, muft be employed. When the bladder and peri- 

 toneum inflame after wounds, or the furgical operation of 

 lithotomy, blifters are often of great fervice ; but bleeding 

 fhould be firft praftifed. In chronic inflammation and 

 thickening of the bladder, the fymptoms and pain may be 

 allayed with anodyne emolhent clyfters, v^'hich are far 

 better than injeftions into that organ itfelf. Opium, cicuta, 

 hyofcyamus, the uva urfi, &c. with a perpetual bUfter, may 

 alfo be tried. 



CYSTOTOMY, Cystotomia, from xus-li,-, the bladder, 

 and T=/i»i', to cut, the operation of cutting into the bladder. 

 See Lithotomy.

DALIBARDA, in Botany, a genus originally dedicated 

 by Kalm and Linnaeus ^to M. Dalibard, author of the 

 Florte Pariftenfis Prodromus, clafled in the Linnsean 



method Linn. Gen. ed. 5. 217. Sp. PI. ed. 1.491. — It 



•was afterwards reduced to Rubus, but is fince reftored by 

 Michaux and others. (See the two fpecies under Rubus, 

 n. 54 and 55.) The fpecific names of Michaux are inad- 

 miflible, for feveral reafons.

DALTONIA, in Botany, fo named in juft comme- 

 moration of the Rev. James Dalton, F.L.S., an eminent 

 Britilh botanift. — Hook, and Tayl. Mufc. Brit. 80. t. 3. — 

 However defirous we may be to admit this genus, it affords 

 a frefh proof in fupport of the opinion we have always 

 maintained, that the inner fringes of Mofles give, in general, 

 no found generic characters. Nothing can be lefs exclu- 

 fively allied than the two fuppofed fpecies, either in habit 

 or charafter. They are, Neckera fplachnoides, Engl. Bot. 

 t. 2564 ; and A'', heteromalla, Hedw. Crypt, v. 3. t. 15. 

 Engl. Bot. t. 1 1 80. The teeth of their inner fringe, it 

 feems, want the flight connedling bafe, more or lefs vifible 



in feveral fpecies of Neckera (fee that article), and are 



attached, fcarce vifibly, to the teeth of the outer fringe.

Efl". Ch. Corolla two-lipped ; tube fpht at one fide ;

 undivided, alternate, often toothed, coriaceous leaves. 

 Flotvers blue or purple. Calyx fmall, or none. Stamens

 feparated by that eminent writer, in his Flore Fran^aife,

 outer valve of the corolla, and, as far as we can perceive, tor
