and Miscellaneous Particulars. 
331. Batschia. Named in honor of John George Batsch, a German professor of botany in the university of 
Jena, in the latter part of the last century. His works upon Fungi are still quoted. The three species known 
are natives of North America, and are very pretty plants. 
332. Onosma. An ancient name, the origin of which, from ovo?, an ass, and offf^ri, smell, as being a plant with 
flowers grateful in their smell to asses, is not very certain. What was intended by Pliny and Dioscorides as 
Onosma has not been satisfactorily ascertained. It was undoubtedly a plant of this family. This genus in its 
Wild state is found chiefly on rocks ; and, like most temporary rock-plants, is not easily preserved otherwise 
ooo^"/""^ walls, heaps of rubbish, or artificial rock-work. The species are pretty, and all have yellow flowers, 
f ' Derived from ay;(^ov(ra,, paint. In early times, the root of A. tinctoria was used for staining 
the features when more delicate colors were unknown. The English name Bugloss has been formed from (in?, 
an ox, and yXoirircx,, a tongue, in allusion to the long rough leaves. A. oflScinalis is nearly allied in qualities 
to Borago. The tube of the corolla is melliferous, and very attractive to bees ; the leaves are juicy, and the 
roots mucilaginous, and used in China for promoting the eruption of the small-pox. A. tinctoria is cultivated 
in the south of France for the roots, which communicate a fine deep red to oils, wax, and all unctuous sub- 
stances, as well as to spirits of wine. It is used chiefly by the apothecaries for coloring plaistcrs, lip-salves, &c. 
and by vintners for staining the corks of their port wine bottles, or for coloring and flavoring the spurious 
compounds sold as port wine.
