History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
Vide John de Souza, p. 106. The plant to which this name was given is involved in uncertainty. It appears 
to have been one of the smallest plants, whence some have inferred that " the Hyssop which groweth out of 
the wall" is a kind of moss. H. officinalis, a neat little evergeen tuft, and most ornamental and fragrant when 
in flower, was once in considerable repute as a popular medicine, but is now almost out of use. 
1249. Nepeta. Said by Linn£eus to be derived from Nepet, a town of Tuscany, mentioned by Pliny. N. 
cataria is called catmint, because cats are very fond of it, especially when it is withered, when they will roll 
themselves on it, tear it to pieces, and chew it with great pleasure. Ray observes, that plants which he 
transplanted from the fields into his garden were always destroyed by the cats, unless he protected them with 
thorns till they had taken good root and came into flower ; but that they never meddled with plants raised 
from seed. Miller has confirmed this by his own experience ; having frequently set a plant from ano- 
ther part of the garden within two feet of others which came up from seeds, when the former was torn 
in pieces and destroyed by the cats, whilst the latter remained unhurt. The true reason of this di- 
ference is assigned by Ray ; that the cat is fond of it in a languid withering state, or when the peculiar 
scent of the plant is excited by being handled or bruised in gathering or transplanting. Hence the English 
vulgar saying,
