and Miscellaneous Particulars. 
English names of this sort having been applied to plants, either that lungwort was ever used in this country 
for the lungs, or liverwort for the liver. The truth is, that the old herbalists, or translators of the classical 
writers upon natural history, made English names after their Latin denominations, without enquiring whether 
such continued to be applicable or not, and their less informed successors had no difliculty in finding those 
virtues in the plants which were indicated by the names of the translators. P. virginica, sibirica and maritima 
are elegant plants, greatly resembling each other, and considered by some as most probably only varieties
