amjendages to the corolla aravery singular, and demand a better explanation of their nature than has yet been 
offered. 
43. Gratiola. From gratia, grace (of God). Matthiolus called it gratia Dei, in allusion to its effects. 
G. officinalis is so bitter and obnoxious to cattle, that Haller assures us, there are meadows about Yverdun 
rendered entirely useless by its abundance. It is a powerful cathartic, and was long in use as such, but now 
laid aside. 
44. Schixanthus. So named by the authors of the Flora Peruviana, from ffx'i'^y to cut, and «v3-a?, a flower. 
One of the most beautiful of herbaceous genera. Two species or rather varieties are now known, and ornament 
the green-house with their elegant panicles of lilac and white flowers. They are diflScult of cultivation, reqiiir- 
ing a very pure and moist atmosphere. They may be propagated by cuttings, but the best plants are raised 
from seeds, which have not hitherto been obtained, except from flowers artificially impregnated.
