their broth, and grind the seeds and put them into their tea. P. officinalis was by old authors said to be of 
two sorts, male and female, the flowers of the former being smaller and lighter colored than those of the 
latter. These distinctions, however, were not indicative of sexual diffference, the pjeony being hermaphro- 
dite, but merely of stronger and weaker growing varieties, according to the practice of the age. Now they 
are laid aside, the varieties reduced to seven or eight, of which a full account is given in the Horticultural 
Transactions (vol. ii. 273.). Of these, the double red, the most common, when introduced at Antwerp about 
the end of the sixteenth century, sold for twelve crowns a root. A useful account of the species and varieties 
"^s been published by Messrs. Anderson aad Sabine, in the transactions of the Linnean Society.
