History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
A deciduous under shrub with a most agreeable odor of citrons, and of the easiest culture in any soil. In 
Jersey and Guernsey, it stands the winter in warm situations. 
}314. Lippia. Named in honor of Augustine Lippi, a French physician, born in Paris of an Italian family. 
He accompanied the ill-fated embassy of Lenoir Duroule to the kmg of Abyssinia, in the beginning of the 
eighteenth century, and was assassinated along with tlie ambassador at Sennaar. His merits entitled him to a 
more interesting genus than this, which consists of obscure weedy shiubs of South America. 
1315. Melampyrum. From ^sAa?, black, and sry^o?, wheat. Its grain resembles a grain of wheat, and gives 
a singularly black color to bread in which it is ground. Smooth narrow-leaved weeds, not uncommon in corn 
fields and copses. M. pratense is considered nutritive, and was formerly cultivated by the Dutch and Flemish 
in the manner of Spurrej'. 
1316. Selago. This has nothing beyond its name in common with the Selago of the ancients ; nor is it 
possible to imagine what induced Linnseus to apply it to the present plants, which are pretty half-shrubby 
Cape plants, with beautiful corymbs or spikes of flowers. Hardy greenhouse plants, propagated v;ith facUity 
by cuttings. 
1317. Vitex. An ancient name applied to some plant of the osier tribe. V. Agnus Castus is an autumn shrub, 
with whorled spikes of blue and white flowers from seven to fifteen inches long. The dried leaves have a 
powerfully aromatic odor. The seeds, from the time of Dioscorides and Pliny, have been highly celebrated 
for securing chastity ; hence the absurd oflicinalname of the shrub, Agnus castus ; ccyvo;, in Greek, being the 
same with castus in Latin : and hence the Athenian matrons, in the sacred rites of Ceres, used to strew their
