History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
is often brought in a fresh state to the markets of Macao, as an article of medicine, no plants have ever reached 
this country alive. Its name has arisen from the resemblance which its brown hairy rootstalk bears to a little 
rufous dog couching ; and the belief in its animal nature has been confirmed by the color of the juice, which 
is of a rich blood color, and soon becoming thick by exposure to the air. It is needless to add, that the stories 
about no plant being able to grow near it are mere fables. Kcempfer says, that borannek is the name which 
the people on the borders of the Caspian Sea give to a kind of sheep of that country. 
2200. Woodsia. Small ferns formerly referred to Polypodium, Aspidium, and Nephrodium, by various 
writers ; and distinguished from all these by Mr. Brown, who named the genus after Mr. Joseph Woods, an 
ingenious British botanist. 
2201. Cyathea. From xva^og, a cup ; on account of the cup-shaped form of the indusia. A fine tropical 
genus of ferns, which does not appear to have been well understood by its author, who confounds it with little 
British plants referred by all other botanists to Aspidium. Nearly all the species are arborescent, and arrive 
at the greatest height of which ferns are susceptible. C. glauca forms a lofty tree in the Island of Bourbon, 
and C. speciosa and excelsa are not less than twenty-four feet in height. 
2202. Trichomanes. From -r^ixo?, hair, and ^av;a, excess. The Greeks gave this name to the plant 
now called Asplenium trichomanoides, on account of its fine shining stems, which resemble hairs. Elegant 
plants with almost transparent foliage.
