History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
lemons, which is lost in drying, and an austere, slightly aromatic taste. In distillation with water, it yields a 
small portion of a yellow essential oil, on which its odor depends. It is stomachic and diuretic, and was 
formerly prized as a corroborant in hypochondriacal and nervous affections ; but it is now used only in the 
form of tea, as a grateftil diluent in fevers. For medicinal use the herb should be cut before it flowers, as it 
is then more odorous. {London Bispensatory, 383.) 
1279. Dracocephalum. From l^a,x,wv, a dragon, and y,i(pctXvi, a head. A name applied in the same sense as 
Lamium, Galeopsis, &c. See those genera. Most of the species are plants of ornament, and cultivated as 
such in the gardens of the curious. D. canariense smells of citron, especially when rubbed between the 
fingers. Sown on a hot-bed early in spring, it may be planted out in the borders like other tender annuals. 
D. austriacum is a handsome plant for a flower border.
