applied thefe names from thofe fathers of botany to 
another fpecies, which he calls the beard ufnea (4). 
Nor does either of thefe fpecies appear to be the true 
ujhea of the Arabians, whatever title they may feem 
to have to it, either from their colour or fmell. Bel- 
lonius, as he is quoted by Dr. Dillenius, tells us, 
“ that the true ufnea , or bryon , as he calls it, is fold 
** at Conftantinople under the name of ufnech } and 
“ tells us we are deceived in believing ours to be 
u the true ujhea.” Dillenius has therefore defcribed 
another fpecies (5), which he received from the Eaft 
Indies, from Madagafcar, and St. Helen’s, as the 
JJ/hea Arabian. This plant the Indians call Jaliaga y 
and Camelli allures us, that, while frelh, it has a very 
fragrant mufk-fmell. He adds, that he had himfelf 
experienced what Serapio fays of it ; viz. that a vi- 
nous infufion of it retrains fluxes, flops vomiting,, 
flrengthens the ftomach, and induces deep. 
The common ufnea of the drops was faid to be 
the bafis of that fine perfumed powder, which the 
French called corps de cypre gris, and which formerly 
made a great article of trade at Montpelier. Dr. 
Brown hints (6), that the perfumers ufe it Hill ; but 
he does not add, where.. John Bauhine gives us the 
whole procefs (7) for making that power, which was- 
vended in great quantities to all parts of France. It
