and Miscellaneous Particulars. 
applied to this plant by Dodonseus, because it has not the marks of Ai, Ai, on the petals, as other hyacinths 
are supposed to have, and therefore is not the Hyacinthus poeticus. This idea has its origin in the Roman 
mythology, in which Apollo, being much grieved for the death of the youth Hyacinthus, changed his blooa 
into a flower which bore his name, &c. It is a native of almost every part of Europe and of Persia. 
804. Puschkinia. Named after Count Mussin Pouschkin, a Russian botanist and patron of botany. A very 
remarkable little plant, resembling a Scilla in appearance, but well defined by the very curious union of its 
stamens into a cup. 
805. Massonia. So named by Thunberg, after Mr. Francis Masson, author of Stapelise Novae ; a successful 
botanical collector at the Cape of Good Hope, Madeira, the West' Indies, and finally North America, into 
whose wildernesses he went to die. Very singular plants, with broad leaves lying flat on the ground, and com- 
pact umbels of flowers. 
806. Eremurus. From eg*jAto?, desert, and iecc, a tail : tail of the desert. Its long spikes of yellow flower.s 
may be easily imagined to merit such an appellation in their native abodes.
