This plant, under tlip name of Juncus odorqtus, |iad formerly a place 

 in all the European pharmacopoeias, but it is now rarely met with in the 

 shops. It continues, however, to be a favourite herb with the Asiaticks\ 

 both for medicinal and culinary purposes. The Hindu pra<5litioners con- 

 sider the infusion of the leaves ^s sudorific, diuretic and emmenagogue. 

 \Vhatever title it may have to these virtues, it is at least a very agreeable 

 ^iluent; and, on account of }t's fragant smell, arpmati9 flavour, and 

 warm, bitterish, but not unpleasant taste^ is generally fpund to be a drinl^ 

 very grateful to the stomach in sickness. Many Europeans, with whom tea 

 does not agree, use, instead of it, the infusion of "this plant, to which they 

 have given the name of lemon-grass»
