Phu is the Arabic name of the species so called. 
79. Patrinia. Named by M. Jussieu in honor of M. Patrin, an assiduous French botanist, who travelled 
in Siberia, where all the species of the genus are found, and whence he sent home collections. 
80. Valerianella. A diminutive of Valeriana, from which the genus has been divided. V. olitoria (Va- 
leriana locusta, L.) Mache salade de pretre, Fr., corn salad or lamb's-lettuce, from its appearing in corn fields 
about the time when lambs are dropped ; furnishes an agreeable salad, the leaves tasting little inferior to 
young lettuce. To have it early, it should be sown in autumn on a Avarm border. All the species are of 
as easy culture as those of Valeriana.
