3749 Stems decumbent. Sheaths loose. Seeds smooth 
like a bug. Gmelin .informs us, that the inhabitants of Kamtchatka, about the beginning of July, collect the 
footstalks of the radical leaves, and after peeling off the rind, which is very acrid, dry them separately in the 
sun, and then tying them in bundles, lay them up carefully in the shade in bags ; in this state they are covered 
with a yellow saccharine efflorescence, tasting like liquorice; this being shaken off^ is eaten as a great delicacy. 
From the stalks thus prepared and fermented with bilberries the Russians distil an ardent spirit, which, Gmelin 
says, is more agreeable to the taste than spirits made from corn. A kind of ale is brewed from the leaves and 
seeds in Poland and Lithuania, and attempts have been made to extract sugar from this plant, but forty pounds 
of the dried stalks only yielded a quarter of a pound of powdery sugar. The young shoots may be eaten as 
asparagus. Rabbits and swine are fond of the leaves, but not horses. H. sibiricum is used in the same man- 
ner in the north of Siberia and Kamtchatka. 
5?3. Tordylium. Bodzeus & Stapel thinks that the derivation of the name is to be found in ro^voi, a lathe, 
and iXX*, to turn, because the seeds seem as if turned in a lathe. But this seems to be a commentatoir's 
guess only. 
674. Astrantia. From aj-fev, a star, and «vr/, similar; so called with reference to the beautiful starlike dis- 
posi^ton of the involucrum of all the species, and of A. minor in particular. 
d75. Zosima. Named by Hoffhiann, in honor of the three famous brothers Zosimades, the celebrated patrons 
of so many fine editions of the Greek classics. A remarkable plant, formerly referred to Heracieum, native of 
xnos^ of the eastern parts of the world. 
o7t.. Bumia. Named by Hofltaian after Rumia or Rumina, the goddess who presided over suckling, on 
and Miscellaneous Particulars.
