History, Use, Pi-opagation, Culture, 
if given in large quantities, especially in warm infusion or decoction, it proves emetic, sudorific, and aperient. 
Even in cold infusion, it tends to bring on diaphoresis. The plant is also stated to be an excellent remedy for 
the cure of intermittent fevers. When employed as a tonic, this plant may be taken in doses of twenty or 
thirty grains, or a teacup full may be used of the infusion rendered moderately bitter. When intended to act 
as an emetic, a strong decoction may be made from an ounce of the plant in a quart of water boiled to a pint. 
{Bigelow.) 
1686. Dumerilia. Named after M. A. M. Constant Dumeril, author of an Elementary Treatise upon Natural 
History, published in one volume octavo, at Paris, in 1804. Small half-shrubby South American plants, with 
firm hairy leaves. 
1687. Ageratum. A name employed by Dioscorides, and probably applied by him to some plants similar to 
what we call properly " everlastings;" it is derived from ct, privative, and y/j^a?, old age, because it never 
grows old ; that is to say, always preserves its color. 
1688. Ccelestina. From ccelestis, blue, in allusion to the color of the flowers. 
1689. Stevia. Dedicated by Cavanilles to the memory of Peter James Esteve, a Spanish physician of the 
sixteenth century. He left behind him a dictionary of the plants natives of the kingdom of Valentia. 
1690. Cephalophora. From x.i(pa,Xr:, a head, and (fi^o, to bear, its flowers being united in little heads. 
1691. Ampherephis. From ot./Mpvi^i(pijg, which signifies well covered, on account of the double involucrum of 
the genus.
