XIX. The Errhine. Take Pouder of the blowers 
of Tilly Co nv ally half an Ounce , Pouder of the Leaves 
of AJ'arabacca one Ounce : mix them. It is to be 
fnuffed up the Noftrils every Night, an Hour or 
Hour and half before Bed-time, becaufe it wonder- 
fully purges the Head, Brain, Original of the Nerves 
and Ventricles, of the Recrements of thofe Parts, 
and of all cold and moift Humors, fo it wonderfully 
opens all the Parts adjacent, whereby the Patient is 
made apt to get Cold upon the leait occafion ; for 
which Reafon the life of it is ordered by the Phy- 
fician, to be a little before Bed-time, that the Pati- 
ent going to Bed may prevent the fame. It is ufed 
in the Cure of Rheumatifms, Megrim, inveterate 
Head-ach, Epileply, Apoplexy, Palfy of the Head, 
Lethargy, Vertigo, Obitru&ions of the Brain, be-

tino, Limonittm , I fuppofe from the Greek Name, 
tho’ fome will have it to be from Malm Timonia , 
the Limon-Tree, becaufe the Leaf of this Plant is 
lbmething like to the Leaf of the Limon-Tree. In 
Eng/ijh , Limonadc, and Sea Marlh Buglofs. Ge- 
rard calls it Sea Lavender, which is an improper 
Name, for that it has no Relemblance to Lavender 
of what Kind foever. 
II. The Kinds. Mr. Ray makes eleven Species 
of this Plant, Parkinfon leven, Gerard but four ; 
yet in our late Times, a greater Number has been 
found out, as appears from Mr. Ray’s Wftoria 
Plantarwn. But many of them grow neither upon 
our Brittijh Shores, or in our Bnttijk Marfiies, nor 
yet in any of our Plantations in the Well Indies ; 
and fome of them feem to differ in their Effefts 
from the more common and ufual, fo that no Vir- 
tues have been affigned them : of all thefe we have 
nothing to fay in this Work ; thofe which we in- 
tend, ate, I. Limonittm majus vulgatim, Valeriana 
rubrte ftmilis Dodontti , Our Common Limonade, or 
Sea Marlh Buglofs, ( which fome Apothecaries for- 
merly miftook for Ben or Behen ntbrum , whereas 
it is no fuch thing.) 2. Limonittm Medium Ang/i- 
ctrn, Colchefter Limonade, or Marlh Buglofs. 3. 
Limonio congener C/ttflj, The hollow-leaved Plant of 
Clufius, or Limonade of Virginia : of which three 
Kinds We have already treated at large in Chap. 97. 
aforegoing -, but fome few following, which we 
omitted in that Chapter, we (hall treat of here, 
viz. 4. Limonittm paruum , Small Limonade, or 
Small Rock Buglofs. 7. Limonittm folio Jinuato, 
Limonittm Peregrinum Rauviolfij, Limonade with 
indented Leaves, or Spamtlt Sea Marlh Buglofs. 
The Defcriptions. 
III. The firft , or Common Limonade,' or Sea 
Marlh Buglofs. We have already largely deferibed 
this Plant m Chap. 97. but fome few Ohfervalions 
more offer them) elves to Consideration , and therewith 
a more elegant Cut of the Plant. The Root then is 
thick and long, fomewhat like unto a Small Red 
Beet Root, or Small Dock Root. From this fpring 
up feveral fair, long, thick, fiat, green Leaves, like 
to thofe of the Linton or Orange Tree, but of a 
darker green, and fometimes a little crumpled, or 
not much unlike to thofe of the Small Beet. From 
among thefe Leaves fpring up feveral naked, hard, 
brittle Stalks, of a Foot or Foot and half high, di- 
vided towards the top into fundry other fmalt 
Branches, which Branches grow for the molt part 
upon one fide of rhe Stalk, and are replenifbed with 
many fmall blewiili purple Flowers, fomewhat like 
unto Buglofs Flowers, but that they are lei's, or as 
fome Authors fay, in (hew like to Lavender Flow- 
ers ; which Flowers grow alfo, all of them for the 
molt part, on one fide of the faid Branches ; which 
being palled away, long red Seed follows, contain- 
ed in the Husks which the Flowers flood in before. 
See the Figure annexed. 
IV. The fourth, or Small Limonade, or Small 
Rock Buglofs. This differs but little from the fir ft, 
faying that it grows much lower : It has a imull 
long reddifh Root, parted at the top into feveral 
Points ; from whence come forth in a kind of TY.fr, 
a number of fmall, thick, fat, fmooth, and fome- 
what roundifh Leaves next the Ground, in form 
and manner of a fmall Hottfe-Leek, fome of the 
Leaves being not pointed at all. It grows not a 
bove fix Inches high, the Stalks being tome higher, 
and fome lower than others, hare, and without 
Leaves to the tops, where they lpread into feveral 
fmall Branches, bending a little backwards, beat-
