History, Use^ Propagation, Culture, 
1094. Lythrum. From Xu^e,'^, black blood, in allusion to the color of the flowers. L. Salicaria (willow- 
like, from Salix) although a common British plant, is considered a handsome border flower, and several 
varieties, differing chiefly in size, are in cultivation. The whole plant is astringent, and has been used in 
medicine and tanning. 
1095. Nescea. Plants formerly referred to Lythrum, from which they seem to be satisfactorily dis- 
tinguished. 
1096. Heimia. Named by Link, in honor of Dr. Heim, a celebrated Berlin physician A beautiful stove 
shrub with fine spikes of yellow flowers. 
1097. Cuphea. From x.u(^oi, curved, in reference to the form of its capsule. Pretty herbaceous or shrubby 
plants, resembling Lythrum in aspect. C. Melvilla is a very handsome stove shrub resembling Bouvardia 
coccinea. 
1098. Kleinhofia. So named by Linna:us, after Kleinhoff, formerly director of the botanic garden in Java. 
The leaves when bruised smell like violets ; the flowers appear the greater part of the year, and the tree is 
seldom without fruit in all its different stages. Cuttings root in sand under a hand-glass. 
1099. Callicoma. From x,(x,Xog, beautiful, and xoijcy,, hair, in allusion to the tufted yellow heads of flowers, 
for which the plant is remarkable. Ripened cuttings root in sand under a hand-glass. 
1100. Heliocarpus. From viXtog, the sun, and x.a.^'zog, fruit. The valves of its round and elegantly ciliated 
capsule resemble a little sun surrounded by its rays. Cuttings root in sand under a hand-glass ; and Miller 
found the seeds to vegetate after being kept ten years. 
1101. Agrimonia. A corruption of the word Argemone, by which name the ancients distinguished a plant 
reputed useful in cataract of the eye, which in Greek was termed argema. A. Eupatoria was formerly 
regarded as a remedy of much importance as a tonic and deobstruent ; but though still retained in the London 
Materia Medica, is seldom or never prescribed. The root in .spring is sweet scented, and the flowers fresh
