and Miscellaneous Particulars. 
pieces called manna in Cannali, which being reckoned more pure, sells higher by one-third than the manna in 
Tazzeti. Manna is a concrete mucilaginous juice, mild, and slightly nauseous. It seems to have no relation to 
that which nourished the Hebrews in the desert, being, as Rozier observes (Diet. d'Agr.), much more likely to 
have purged than nourished them. The Fraxinus virgata, P.S. also affords manna, but from no other species 
of ornus can it be procured. The Ornus floribunda has lately been discovered in Nepal, where it is called 
kanga and tahasee. 
70. Morina. In memory of Lewis Morin, a French botanist, and son of Peter Morin, a florist celebrated in 
the 17th century. This plant is of very rare occurrence. It is not unlike the common acanthus, but more 
beautiful Propagated by seeds. 
71. Circcea. Poetically named after the enchantress Circe. The genus grows in damp shady places where 
«hrubs fit for incantations may be supposed to be found. The Greeks had a plant named circsea. All the species 
are easily cultivated, and are curious on account of their singular flowers. C. lutetiana has been found in Nepal. 
72. Fedia. A name of Adanson's, which, like many others of the same author, has probably no meaning. The 
genus has been very properly distinguished from Valeriana by DecandoUe, as well as from Valerianella, with 
which it has recently been again confounded. A weed-like annual is the only species yet in our gardens. 
73. Pimelea. From -riiuciXtj, fat ; but if so, it should be written Pimelcea. A real and extensive genus of 
plants, natives of the southern hemisphere. Many of the species arc from N. Holland, and are chiefly known 
by the brief descriptions of Mr. R. Brown. 
74. Cladium. From xXcho;, a branch or twig. A tall sedge-like plant, referred by Linnaeus and his school to 
Schcenus. C. germanicum is the only European species ; it is the Schoenus mariscus of English botany. The 
others are chiefly from N. Holland. 
75. Gunnera. After Ernest Gunner, bishop of Norway, of which country he published a Flora. A singular plant, 
cultivated merely as an object of curiosity. It likes a moist peat soil, and the temperature of a cool greenhouse.
