and Miscellaneous Particulars. 
1683. Mikania. Named by "Willdenow, after Professor Mikan, of Prague. Climbing tropical plants, one of 
which, M. Guaca, is employed in Soath American medicine as a powerful febrifuge. 
1684. Sparganopfiorus. From crva^yoivcv, a fillet, and (pi^co, to bear, because the seed is crowned with a mem- 
branous band or border. 
1685. Eupatorium. This plant, says Pliny, derives its name from Eupator King of Pontus, who first 
used it in medicine. Aya-pana is the vernacular name of the species so called among the natives of the 
banks of the river Amazon. The tribe of Eupatoriece is distinguished from Vernonieee by its style. They 
are chiefly found in America, very few inhabit Asia, scarcely any Africa, and not one has been found in Europe. 
The Eupatorium perfoliatum has some reputation as a medicinal plant. A dissertation upon the subject of 
its merits was published a few years since by an American physician, from which it appears that the virtues 
of the plant reside chiefly in the leaves, and that the most efficient mode of exhibiting it is by means of a 
simple decoction. The medical powers of Eupatorium are, as its sensible properties would seem to indicate, 
those of a tonic stimulant. Given in moderate quantities, either in substance, or in cold infusion or decoction, 
it promotes digestion, strengthens the viscera, and restores tone to the system. IJke other vegetable bitters,
