upon the trunks of leafy trees through all Europe and Asia, the Gold Coast, Cape of Good Hope, North 
America, the Antilles, and South America. 
2371. Dcedalea. So called from Hs sinuosities, which appear as if arranged with 'Dcedalean art. Most of the 
species grow upon wood. The dried substance of D. quercina is a good styjitic. D. suaveolens has, according 
to Bolton, a smell like aniseed ; and LinuEeus mentions, that the Laplanders carry it about them when they 
visit their mistresses, in order to render themselves more agreeable. From the powder of the plant is pre- 
pared an electuary which is said to have been used with success in cases of phthisis. The dose from a scruple 
to a drachm. 
2372. PoLyporus. From ^roXvi, many, and tro^og, a pore, on account of the multitude of pores which constitute 
its hymenium. P. squamosus is a common species on trunks of willows, oaks, walnuts, &c. From this was 
extracted, by Braconnot, the Fungic acid. It is colorless, does not crystallize, has a very sour taste, and when 
evaporated to dryness, deliquesces upon exposure to the air. The fungates of potash and soda do not crystal- 
lize, are very soluble in water, but not in alcohol. The fungate of ammonia crystallizes in regular six-sided 
prisms. The fungate of lime is not altered by exposure to the air, and is soluble in about eighteen times its 
weight of water at seventy-three degrees. 
P. Tuberaster, a species common in Italy, in various parts of the kingdom of Naples, and the Pontifical 
states, is held in the highest esteem as an article of Neapolitan cookery P. annosus, a Swedish species, is 
used by the peasantry as a cure for the bite of snakes. Fries says, that he saw the blood which was flowing 
from the mouth of a' kid which had been hurt stopped in a short space of time by its application. From P. 
dryadeus, the Boletus pseudo-igniarius of Bulliard, Braconnot obtained his Boletic acid. The color of this 
principle is white ; it is not altered by exposure to the air, and its crystals are regular four-sided prisms. Its
