and Miscellaneous Particulars. 
stomachic ; but in water, Haller affirms it to have been attended with bad effects, when given in malignant 
fevers, producing delirium. Chewed in the mouth, the roots take off from a disagreeable breath. 
1156. Kerria. So named after Mr. William Ker, a botanical collector, who was sent some years since to China, 
whence he sent many curious plants. The plant named after him is the common Corchorus jai^onica of the 
gardens. 
1157. Calycanthus. From xaXvl, and avS-a?, a flower ; the calyx being colored and similar to petals, which 
arc not present in the genus. Small North American shrubs, with chocolate-colored blossoms. The flowers 
of C. floridus have an agreeable scent like those of allspice, and is so called in Carolina. 
1158. Chimonanthus. From x.f^ifjt.m, winter, and uv^o;, a flower, in allusion to the period of the year when 
its blossoms are produced. C. fragrans is highly odoriferous, and though hardy, deserves a place in the front 
border of a conservatory, on account of the odor it disperses early in spring. 
1159. Dryas. A name poetically applied to this little plant, from the resemblance of its leaves to those of the 
oak, which was sacred to the Dryads. This is a delicate evergreen plant, and with its snow-white blossoms is 
a great ornament to alpine heights. The stalk and branches are woody and perennial, lying flat upon the 
ground, and spreading wide about the root in tufts. 
It requires some care to preserve it in gardens, and grows better in a shaded bed of peat than in pots.
