* .These plants, and those of the two distinctions next following, which are gym- 

 nodispermous also, are the umbellate plants of Tournefort's seventh class. See his 

 Institution, R. H. In dry soils they are aromatic, warm, resolvent, and carminative ; 

 but in moist places poisonous. The virtue is in the roots and seeds. Author.
