*The plants of this order are scented, and said to he cephalic and resolvent j 
the virtue is in the leaves. None are poisonous.—And the seeds are said to be naked, 
as not being lodged in a capsule, but are situated in the bottom of tjbe calyx, 
f Common hyssop (hyssopus officinalis) of which there are four varieties, is 
much recommended in bruises; by ^applying a boiled cajtaplasm of the leaves, it 
both takes off the pain 1 and blackness. It is also good in an asthma, &c. 
J In Linnaeus’s description of the specific character of the white archangel (lamium 
album) he says the verticils have twenty flowers, but in England I have examined 
several, and have not found twenty. 
§From lavender (lavendula) is obtained an oil, called oil of spike ; yvhigh is 
brought chiefly from France, where lavender is called espic.
