633. Crithmum. From x^tB-zi," barley. Its seed is very similar to a grain of barley. Saint Pierre, Fr., 
Meerfenchel, Ger., and Finochio marino, Ital. TheC. maritimum is found on stone walls, as well as by the 
sea shore. The inhabitants, where it abounds, not only use it as a pickle, but as an ingredient in salads, 
and as a pot-herb. In the garden it may be grown on beds of sand and rubbish, or in pots. Braddick, an 
ingenious horticulturist, cultivated it at Thames Ditton, in a sheltered dry situation screened from the 
morning sun : he protected it by litter during winter, and in spring sprinkled the soil with a little powdered 
barilla. " This I do," says he, " to furnish the plant with a supply of soda, since in its native place of growth 
it possesses the power of decomposing sea water, from which it takes the fossil alkali, and rejects the muriatic 
acid." With this treatment it flourished abundantly, producing an ample supply of leaves and shoots, which 
were cut twice in the season. [HoH. Trans, ii. 232.) 
634. Athatnanta. A plant found upon Mount Athamas in Thessaly, as some say; others, however, believe 
It to have been named after King Athamas, a king of Thebes, who first brought it into use. 
6o5. PimpineUa. According to Linna?us, this name has been altered from bipennula, twice pinnate, in 
allusion to the leaves. P. saxifraga differs surprisingly in size and foliage in different situations, insomuch 
that some make several species, as P. minor, major, and dissecta. The root is acrid, and used as a masticatory 
m tooth-ache, also externally to take away freckles, and in gargles to dissolve viscid mucus. 
P ■ anisum [dnusUn, Arabic ; Golius.) is cultivated in Malta and Spain, whence the seeds are annually im- 
into England for their use in medicine. They are aromatic and carminative, and yield an oil both by 
distillation and expression, which is much used in flatulencies, as are the seeds in substance. The oil is also
