bark. It is inodorous ; the taste is at first sweetish and nauseous, but after being chewed for less than a 
mmute, becomes pungeqt and hot, producing a very peculiar tingling sensation in the fauces. Medically, it is 
considered stimulating, expectorant, and diuretic, and in large doses emetic and cathartic : it increases absorii- 
lon, and consequently augments the natural excretions, particularly that of urine, and frequently occasions a 
copious ptyahsm. It was introduced to the notice of physicians by Dr, Tennant, who, having discovered that 
It was the antidote employed by the Senegare Indians against the bite of the rattlesnake, and reasoning from 
the effects of the poison, and of the remedy in removing these, was induced to try it in pneumonic affections, 
and found it useful. On account of its stimulant properties, however, it can be employed in these complaints 
only after the resolution of the inflammation by bleeding and evacuations. It proves more directly useful in 
humoral asthma, chronic catarrh, and some kinds of dropsy. {Thomson's London Dispensatory, p. 450.) 
1509. Muraltta. Named after John Von Muralt, a Swiss botanist, who lived in the commencement of the 
t-'ighteenth century. Handsome bushes, of easy cultivation in a greenhouse, or even in a good pit. 
1510. Mundia. So named, in allusion, we presume, to the neatness {munditia) of its appearance. No 
explanation of the word is given by its author. Pretty little Cape bushes, easily cultivated in a good pit. 
1511. Securidaca. From securis, a hatchet, in allusion to the form of the end of the pod. It grows freely in 
light loam, or loam and peat ; and cuttings root in sand covered with a glas.s.
