Hist07-y, Use, Propagation, Culture, - 
this species, of V. lychnitis, and of several others, may be used as tinder, and to make wicks for lamps ; 
whence the name Lychnitis applied to one of the species, from Xvxvog, a lamp. Several mules have been 
produced between the species of this genus ; and it has been questioned whether those accounted species are 
not productions of this kind. 
376. Datura. An alteration of the Arabic name tdiorah, Forskahl. About Goa and Canara, it is called 
Daturo, Rumphius. Stramonium is an abbreviation of the Greek word ffrpvxvou.a.vtxov, or mad-apple, on 
account of the dangerous effects of the fruit of that specres. Metel or Methel, is an' Arabic name employed by 
Serapion, ch. 375, and expresses the narcotic effect of the plant. Tatula is altered from Datula, a name givea 
to the Datura by the Turks and Persians. D. stramonium is an instance of a South American plant, natural- 
ized withui a comparatively short time, the seeds having been introduced from Constantinople in Gerarde's 
time, and by him " dispersed through this land." Kalm says, that this plant and a species of Phytolacca are 
the worst weeds in America. Professor Martyn observes, that " in the earth brought with plants from various 
parts of that extensive country, we are sure to have the thorn-apple come up." At night, the leaves next the 
flowers rise up and enclose them. The whole plant smells strongly of bean meal. Every part of the plant 
is poisonous, bringing on delirium, tremors, &c. but under proper regulations it is a useful medicine in 
asthma, &c. 
D. fastuosa has a fine polished purple stalk, varied with dots or lines ; the leaves are large, the flowers of a 
beautiful purple outside, and a satiny white within ; some are single, others semidouble. They have an agree- 
able odor at first, but if long smelt to become less agreeable, and are narcotic. D. ceratocaulon is a fine spe- 
cies ; its seed will sometimes remain in the ground several years before it will vegetate. 
377. Brugmansia. So named by Persoon, in honor of Professor S. J. Brugmans, autlior of some botanical 
works, and especially of a dis.sertati(5n " De Plantis Inutilibus, et Venenatis," published at Groningen, in 1783. 
B. arborea is one of the greatest ornaments of the gardens of Chili. The flowers which come out at the
