* Pulmonaria officianalis (common spotted lungwort, or Jerusalem cowslip) with 
white spots distinct, on dark green leaves ; with flowers in small bunches on the top 
of the stalks .—Pulmonaria paniculata, with flowers panicled, and confluent spots. 
•f. Convolvulus jalapa (jalap) receives its name from Ja'apa, a town in New Spain 
in South America, where it was first discovered. — Convolvulus scammonia (scam* 
mony) is also a cathartic, and much of the same nature as jalap, but rather stronger. 
The cornbind that is so very troublesome a weed in gardens and the fields, and pe¬ 
netrates so very deep into the ground, is the smaller cornbind , convolvulus arvensis. 
X See note to arachis. 
§ Datura (thorn apple) is narcotic, and dangerous to be .taken inwardly, but a 
cataplasm of its leaves and seeds are commended for burns.
