nodding. Prenanthes serpentaria grows to the height of two feet, bearing pale purple flowers. It is known 
by the inhabitants of Virginia and Carolina under the name of the Lion's Foot, and is in high esteem as a 
cure for the bite of the rattle-snake. The juice of the plant boiled in milk is taken inwardly, and steeped 
leaves, frequently changed, are applied to the wound. It must not be confounded with Prenanthes rubicunda, 
called False Lion's Foot, which is a less powerful plant. 
Prenanthes virgata has a very fine effect in large plantations. 
1631. Leoniodon. So named from Xtoov, a lion, and edv;, a tooth ; in reference to the deep tooth-like divisions 
of the leaves. The English name Dandelion, is a corruption of the French translation of this word. Dent dc 
Hon; m Gexmm Pfaffenrohrlein and. Dotterbluhnte. It has been recommended as a winter salad, blanched 
like Endive ; but it possesses too much bitter principle to render it fit for table under any management. Dent 
de lion, Fr., from its cut leaves, and Piss-en-lit, in French, and most other European languages, from its 
diuretic qualities. The tender leaves in spring, used in compound salads, are equal to those of Endive or 
Succory. The roots, which are fusiform, and abound in a milky juice, are eaten raw as a salad by the French, 
and boiled by the Germans, like Salsafy and Scorzonera. Dried and ground into powder, they afford a sub- 
stitute for coffee, in all respects equal to that of Chicory roots. It is a difficult weed to extirpate, because 
every inch of root will form buds and fibres, and thus constitute a new plant. Swine are fond of it, and goats 
will eat it ; but sheep and cows dislike it, and by horses it is refused. 
1632. Apargia. Axa.»ytoe, is the Greek name of a plant now unknown. It has been employed by 
Dalechamp and Scopoli for a spscies of Hieracium. At the present day it is given to a genus of weedy plants, 
with the appearance of Lcontodon.
