History, Use, Propagation^ Culture, 
sist of nothing beyond a slight vulnerary quality. P. fruticosa and floribunda are shewy shrubs. P. anserina 
is remarkable for the silvery whiteness of its foliage, which is eaten by geese, as the roots were once by the 
country people in some places. All the species are pretty, and deserving cultivation. 
1154. Tormentilla. From tormina, the dysentery, which this plant was formerly employed for curing. T. 
erecta was once a plant of some importance in oeconomy and medicine. The roots are still used in most of the 
"Western Isles of Scotland and in the Orkneys for tanning leather, for which they are superior even to oak-bark. 
They are first boiled in water, and the leather is then steeped in the cold liquor. In the islands of Tirey and 
Col, the inhabitants have destroyed so much ground by digging them up, that they have been prohibited the 
use of them. They are also used for dying of a red color. And Mr. Young informs us, that many swine are 
reared with them on the mountains of Killarney. 
In the London Materia Medica it is employed in intermittents, and as a local application in the form of 
gargle and lotion, in ulcerations of the tongue and mouth, against spongy gums, and as an application to foetid 
ill conditioned sores ; but it is seldom used. {Lo7idon Dispensatory, 538.) 
1155. Geum. From yiuM, to taste well. The roots of G. urbanum have a mildly astringent aromatic taste, 
somewhat like that of cloves, whence this plant has the name of Caryophyllata. They should be gathered in 
dry warm situations, for in shady moist places they have little virtue. Gathered in the spring, and put fresh 
into ale, they give it a pleasant flavor, and prevent its turning sour. Infused in wine, it is esteemed a good
