History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
held to be efficacious in healing fractured limbs. Pliny declares, he was witness to a cure of this kind. Some 
of the species of this genus are believed to be merely the young of mosses. 
2293. Bulbochcete. From ^oXfios, a club, and x;«""'!5 a bristle, in reference to the bristly end of the primary 
filaments. 
2294. Nitella. From niteo, to shine. A genus separated by Agardh from Chara, because the stem is 
composed of a simple tube, and not of one spirally striated. The plants have the habit of Chara. 
2295. Chara. The origin of this word is unknown. It first occurs in Cesar's Commentaries, where it is 
mentioned as the name of a plant, the root of which was used by the Roman soldiers as food. That plant 
could have had no relation to the plant of the moderns. Various opinions have been held with regard to the 
station of this genus. Linneeus referred it to the [lerfect i)lants, and he has been followed by many botanists. 
Dr. Hooker and Mr. Lindley, in the former's Flora Scotica, formed it into a particular order, placed between 
Algasand Hepaticas ; and with this opinion Dr. Greville coincides. But Professor Agardh thinks it cannot 
even be separated from true Algae, in the midst of which he has placed it. The nature of the fructification 
is so paradoxical, that it is scarcely possible to trace an analogy between it and the fructification of any other 
plant.
