History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
2134. JEgilops. From «/| octyos, a goat, and o-^^, the eye. The ancients believed that the plant they named 
.ffigilops had the power of curing a disease of one corner of the eye, which seems to have been what we call 
Fistula lachrymalis. The ^gilops ovata is a common Sicilian grass ; when ripe, it is gathered by the peasantry, 
who tye the heads up in bunches, and set them on fire j they burn with rapidity, and so give the grains a slight 
roasting, which are then considered agreeable food. 
2135. Manisuris. Said to be so called, from (mx-vos, relaxed, and tail, or, in botanical language, a head of 
grass ; because the spikes are loose, and not compact. A curious little plant remarkable for its wrinkled 
grains. 
2136. Valantia. Miserable weeds of no beauty or use ; called by their present name by Linnseus in refer- 
ence to Sebastian Vaillant, a learned and excellent French botanist, who died in 1722. The author of the 
name would have employed his time better in considering the botanical writings of Vaillant, than in 
identifying with the most worthless part of vegetation an author whose merits he was not able to understand. 
No man was more given to sneers of this kind than Linnsus; and yet his followers manifest a most extra- 
ordinary degree of sensitiveness whenever he is retorted upon in a similar way ; although few ever deserved 
criticism in some things in a higher degree than himself. 
2137. Parietaria. From joflr^^'s, a wall. Weeds which are commonly found upon old walls, or rubbish heaps. 
P. officinalis presents some curious anomalies in its inflorescence and fructification. To obtain a perfect idea of
