History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
1745. Pulicaria. So named in allusion to its property of driving away fleas, pulices. See Conyza. P. 
dysenterica has its specific name from having cured certain Russian soldiers of the bloody flux. It is 
called by our old authors middle flea-bane, and was supposed by its smoke in burning to chase away fleas 
and other insects. Forskahl says, it is named in Arabic Bata ejub, or Job's tears, from a notion that Job 
used a decoction of this herb to cure his ulcers. Of course it was formerly recommended to cure the 
itch. P. vulgaris is also said to drive away fleas and gnats. 
1746. Grindelia. A handsome genus of herbaceous plants, with neat foliage, and pretty yellow flowers. 
They are sometimes called Donia. 
1747. Podolepis. From ■^rn;, a foot, and /err;?, a scale. The stalks of the flowers are covered with 
scales. 
1748. Chcetanthera. From %<!wt«, hair, and ot,v^w(x,, an anther, the anther being furnished with a hairy 
tuft. 
1749. Arnica. This is said to be a corruption of ptarmica, derived from rrroii^tii, to sneeze. The Arnica 
montana is a powerful sternutatory ; in the Vosges it is even called tabac on that account. The whole plant 
has important medicinal properties ; it is fortifying, diuretic, emmenagogue, vulnerary, antiseptic, resolyative, 
and sternutatory. Tfie root powdered is employed in diarrhcea, dysentery, and quartan fevers ; it is also 
applied outwardly to bad ulcers, and in cases of gangrene. The flour is used in asthenia, rheumatic pains.
