History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
manica, and pseud-acorus are used m medicine; those of the first are remarkable for communicating an odor 
like that of violets, and are the orrice-root (iris- root) of the shops. The root of I. pseud-acorus, in powder, 
used as snuff, produces a great heat in the mouth and nose, and occasions discharge from the nostrils : it is 
astringent, and used instead of galls in making ink or dying black. The fresh juice of the root is one of the 
most powerful cathartics, and in that way has cured inveterate dropsies. I. germanica possesses similar quaUties, 
and the root of either species suspended in wine or beer, keeps the latter from growing stale, and communicates 
a pleasant taste and smell to the former. The leaves and roots of I. fcetidissima are steeped in beer by the 
country people in some places as a purge. I. susiana flowers well in a warm border and loamy soil. I. fim- 
briata is rather tender ; it requires a rich light soil, and to make it flower freely, it must be planted in a large 
pot, and have the suckers removed from the roots as soon as they appear. I. orientalis requires a similar treat, 
ment, and with the two preceding species requires the protection of a green-house to make it flower in per- 
fection. Of I. xiphioides there are numerous varieties procured from seeds, which are treated much in the 
same way as those of crocus. This species, and I. tuberosa are very ornamental ; they thrive best in a light
