History., Use, Propagation, Culture. 
670. Peucedanum. From mvx'/i, a pine-tree, and Savs?, dwarf ; a diminutive fir. The plant was so called 
on account of its strong smell, which resembles resin. 
671. Pastinaca. One of the names given by the Latins to the Daucus of the Greeks. It is derived from 
pastus, nourishment. P. sativa is a well known culinary root, and grown also in agriculture for feeding cattle. 
It was much in use during Catholic times to eat with salted fish. In the north of Ireland a sort of beer is 
brewed from the roots mixed with hops ; a very good wine is also made from them ; and by distillation they 
yield an ardent spirit, similar to that afforded by the potatoe. The parsnep is much cultivated in Jersey and 
Guernsey, chiefly for feeding milch cows. The variety preferred is called the Coquaine, the roots of which, Dr. 
Macculloch informs us {Caled. Hort. Mem. i. 408.), sometimes run four feet deep, and are rarely so small in cir- 
cumference as six inches. The time of sowing is February and March, in drills to admit of stirring the soil 
between the rows. They should be thinned so as that each plant may have a surface of twelve or fourteen 
square inches, and, with the usual routine culture, the crop will be mature in October. They may be taken up 
and housed like the carrot, or as wanted for use : as they are not easily injured by frost, the latter mode is the 
best, where they are grown only for the table, 
P. opopanax (a^-a?, juice, -rotv, all, and ct,xoi, cure : a cure for all complaints) produces from its stem, when 
it is cut, a gum resin which is a famous cure in the East for all sorts of maladies. 
672. Heracleum. Named after the hero Hercules, who, according to a modern French author, was not only 
a warrior but a great doctor and botanist. H. Sphondylium (from (r(fi>vhuXos, a vertebra, in allusion to the 
jointed stem), the Heilkraut of the Germans, is common in most parts of Europe. The seeds smell somewhat
