History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
14. Curcuma. From the Arabic kurkum or hercum. Babilonischer safran, Ger. C. longa was formerly 
much used in cookery to give things a color, and is still so used in the East Indies, for dyeing. The root was 
reputed aperient and resolvent, and was given in jaundice : it tinges the urine of a deep yellow. The roots of 
C. zerumbet powdered and mixed with the powdered wood of Ctesalpinia Sappan is copiously thrown about by 
the Hindoos during their holidays in March. The tubers of many species yield a very beautiful pure starch 
like arrowroot, which in some places, especially Travancore, forms a large part of the diet of the inhabitants. 
15. Globba. Its Indian name, and that also by which it is known in the Moluccas. Globee, Fr. Most of the 
species produce spikes of smoky-colored berries about the size of grapes, and which are sometimes eaten. 
16. Mantisia. The flowers bear a singular resemblance to some of the insects called mantis. The name of 
the species is derived from a fanciful notion that the flowers are like a dancing figure attached to a wire. 
17. Philydrum. and iJ06j^, a lover of water, in allusion to the places in which it grows. A pretty 
biennial plant, requiring but little protection from frost. 
18. Lopezia. Dedicated by Cavanilles to the memory of the licentiate Thomas Lopez, a Spanish botanist, 
who is said to have directed his attention to the natural history of the New World. The species are chiefly 
elegant annuals, and well deserving of cultivation. 
19. Boerhaavia. So named in honor of the famous Boerhaave of Leyden, born at Voorhoot in 1668, and died
