EupatSrTOm. Linnaeus derived the name from 
Mithridates Eupator, who used it as a counter- 
poison. Linn. 19, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Compoaitce. Some 
species of this genus are very ornamental, as E. 
Jloribundum, while others, as E. coriaceum, are 
qdite uninteresting. They require a mixture of 
peat and loam to grow in, and young plants are 
obtained from seeds without difficulty. E. Aya- 
pana has been famed for curing the bite of serpents, 
and an infusion of its leaves forms excellent diet- 
drink, and when fresh bruised, are said to be very 
useful for cleaning the face of a foul ulcer. E. per- 
fotiaium is tonic, stomachic, and febrifugal. Syno-
