as a substitute for hops, two ounces of the leaves being substituted for a pound of hops. The powdered roots 
are sometimes eaten in Lapland. The only species cultivated is the wild plant of our rivulets. 
363. Villarsia. A genus divided from the last, and named after Villars, a French botanist of repute, who wrote 
the Flora of Dauphiny, in 1785, a work used even at the present day. This is an aquatic genus of easy cuJture 
and increased by seeds or dividing at the root. V. nymphoides is one of the most elegant of British water-plants! 
364. Chironia. Named after Chiron, one of the fathers of medicine, botany, and surgery. He is mythologically 
represented to have been the son of Saturn, or of Time and Experience. Many plants, the virtues of which he 
is believed to have first discovered, have borne his name. The genus, however, to which it is now applied, is 
probably not one of those. It consists of pretty plants of short duration, generally with pink flowers The 
species are not long-lived plants, and therefore require to be frequently raised from cuttings. Peat mould suits 
them best, and a little loam mixed with it ; and young cuttings planted in the same kind of soil, under hand- 
glasses, strike root readily. 
365. Eustoma. From iv, well, and rofJi-Ky mouth or orifice, in allusion to the colored aperture of the tube of 
the flower. A pretty little plant rarely seen in gardens. It resembles a Sabbatia. 
366. Erythrcea. From efu3-§oj, red, in allusion to the cblor of the flowers. This is a pretty genus of herbacc- 
^'^sand annual flowers, but impatient of cultivation, and therefore rarely seen in gardens. 
Sabbatia. Named after Liberatus Sabbati an Italian botanist, author of many works on botany. In 
177. he published the first volume ofthe Hortus Romanus, a fine work, in folio, of which the seventh and last 
in 1784. A pretty N. American genus of plants resembling Chironia. 
Joo. Logania. Named by Mr. Brown, after a Mr. James Logan, said to have been the author of some experi.
