History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
1207. Cimicifuga. From cimex, a bug, and fugo, to drive away, indicating certain virtues a species is 
supposed to possess. The C. serpentaria is used with success by the native practitioners in North America, 
for curing the dangerous bite of the rattlesnake. Tall, leafy, herbaceous plants, with the appearance of 
Actasa. 
1208. Aquilegia. From aquila, an eagle ; the inverted spurs of the flower have been likened to the talons of a 
bird of prey. The species are smooth-leaved, handsome-flowered plants. A. vulgaris is an old inhabitant of 
the flower border : the whole plant has been recommended to be used medicinally, but it belongs to a suspi- 
cious natural order, and Linnaeus affirms, that children have lost their lives by it. A. alpina is the hand- 
somest species. 
1209. Nigella. From niger, black, because of the color of the seeds, which are the part of the plant known in 
cookery. The species are curious or neat little plants, with fine cut leaves like fennel. N. damascena and 
satlva are sown as hardy annual flowers ; and on the continent, the leaves and seeds of the latter species and 
N. arvensis, are used in cookery instead of more expensive aromatics. They are also said to be extensively 
used in the adulteration of pepper. 
1210. Reaumuria. So named by Hasselquist, in honor of Rene A. F. de Reaumur, author of several 
entomological works ; Histoire des Insectes, &c. He died in 1757. A small ceesious plant, bearing an 
abundance of bright lilac flowers. 
1211. Colbertia. Named by Mr. Salisbury after the famous Colbert, a patron of the Paris garden, who 
destroyed with his own hands the vines which had been planted therein in lieu of more curious objects. A fine 
plant, with leaves like those of Dillenia speciosa. 
1212. Tetracera. From nr^a, four, and xsex;, a horn, because of its four capsules recurved like as many 
horns. Shrubs or small trees, which are often climbers with alternate stalked naked leaves, often rough above. 
The flowers are panicled or racemose. The leaves are remarkable as an exemplification of that mode of 
nervation which M. Decandolle calls feather-nerving. 
1213. Nelumbium. This is called in Ceylon Nelumbo. Sir James Smith proposed to call the genus by the 
more classical name of Cyamus, but it has been remarked, that it remains to be proved that the holy xva-ixog, 
was this plant. N, speciosum is a native both of the East and West Indies, China, Cochin-China, and Japan,
