* Chenopodium —see atriplecc. 
f These are the umbellate plants of Tournefort; and it is observed, that in dry 
soils they are aromatic, warm, resolvent, and carminative; but in moist places 
frequently poisonous. The virtue is in the roots and seeds.—Note, panaoc and arc - 
topus (though umbelled) are placed in the class and order polygamia , dicecia, as 
having the character of that class and order, though they have only five stamina. 
There are also a few other umbelled plants placed in different classes, as allium , 
opercularia , &c.
