EUPARE'A, f. [swaps 10?, having beautiful cheeks ; 
the petals being of a beautiful flefli colour.] In botany, 
a genus of the clafs pentandria, order monogynia. The 
generic characters are—Calyx : perianthium five-leaved ; 
leaflets lanceolate, acute. Corolla : petals five or twelve, 
oblong, narrow, Spreading longer than the calyx. Sta¬ 
mina : filaments five. Piftillum : germ roundifh, fupe- 
rior ; ftyle b ri (tie-(h aped, long ; ftigma fimple. Pericar- 
pium : berry juicelefs, globular, crowned with the per¬ 
manent ftyle, one-celled. Seeds : very many, roundifh, 
final!, adhering to a globular, fungous, free receptacle 
in the middle of the berry. —EJftntial CharaEler. Calyx 
five-leaved ; corolla five or twelve petalled ; berry fupe- 
rior, one-celled ; feeds very many, adhering to a free 
receptacle. 
Euparea amoena, or delicate euparea, a (ingle fpecies. 
This is a procumbent plant, having the appearance of 
Nummularia, but only one fourth of the fize ; the flowers 
have the colour of thofe of Anagallis ph.cenicea, or pim¬ 
pernel, but are many-petalled ; the fruit, which Gtertner 
in one place calls a capfule, and in another a juicelefs 
berry, however it be prelfed, will not open with regular 
valves ; it is therefore nearly allied to Trientalis : the 
feeds have a navel in the belly oppofite to the embryo. 
Native of New Holland, andTerradel Fuego.

Species. T. Calyxes four-flowered. 1. Eupatorium 
dalea, or (hrubby hemp-agrimony : leaves lanceolate, 
veined, obfcurely ferrate, fniooth ; (lent fiirubby. Thefe 
are moftly tall-growing perennial herbaceous plants ; the 
greater part of the old forts are natives of North America ; 
many, however, of South America and the Weft Indies ; 
whence come moft of the new forts : feveral are found 
wild in the Eaft Indies, and one only in Europe. The 
firft riles to the height of nine and ten feet or more : it 
has a moderately thick woody ilem ; and throws out its 
branches in a pretty open pofition; frequent in the lower 
hills of Liguanea, in Jamaica. Dr. Patrick Browne 
thought it generically diftindt from eupatorium, and there¬ 
fore gave it the name of dalea. It flowers here in Auguft ; 
and is remarkable for the very pleafant odour of the whole 
plant, which continues many years even when dried. 
2. Eupatorium parviflorum, or fmall-flowered hemp- 
agrimony : (hrubby ; leaves ovate-lanceolate ferrate 
fmooth ; corymbs fpreading ; calyxes three-flowered. 
This much refembles the preceding, but the leaves are 
oblong, the flowers fmaller ; the calyxes conftantly 
three-flowered, and the plant is almoft void of fcent. 
Native of Jamaica, much more common than the pre¬ 
ceding in fimilar fituations. 
3. Eupatorium hyftopifolium, or hyffop-leaved hemp- 
agrimony : leaves lanceolate-linear, three-nerved, almoft: 
.entire. The third fort rifes with-an upright round (bilk 
to the height of three feet, fending out feveral branches 
towards the top, which come out regularly by pairs. 
The leaves are alio in pairs, they are two inches and a 
half long, and about one third of an inch broad, of a light 
green colour, and entire. The flowers (land upon long 
peduncles at the ends of the brandies, fome fu(Lining 
one, fome two, and others three or four, flowers ; they 
are white, and appear late in autumn. Native of Caro¬ 
lina, Virginia, and Maryland ; it has alfo been found 
in Japan by Tluinberg. 
4. Eupatorium fcandens, or climbing hemp-agrimony : 
ftem twining; leaves cordate-ovate, attenuated, crenate- 
toothed ; lobes divaricate ; branches fmooth. Stemsan- 
nuai, twilling about any neighbouring fupport to the 
height of five or fix feet. At each joint two fmall fide- 
branches come out, terminated by clufiers of white 
flowers, fo that the ftalks feern covered with them mod 
part of their length ; but as tiiefe come out late in the 
feafon, unlefs the fummer prove warm, this plant does 
not flower well in England. Native of Virginia and 
Carolina ; it is alfo fuppofed to be a native of the Eaft- 
Indies, and to be the fame with that which is figured by 
Burman, Ind. 176. t. 58. f. 2. The Indian plant is 
fmoother, and the teeth of the leaves more obfeure. 
5. Eupatorium volubile, or rolled eupatorium : leaves 
cordate-ovate, crenate, acute ; lobes parallel ; ftem twin¬ 
ing ; branches and petioles villofe. Native of the Eaft- 
Indies. There is another eupatorium from Madagafcarin 
every refpedt like this, except that it is entirely fmooth. 
6. Eupatoriuna denticulatum, or toothed eupatorium : 
leaves cordate rugged, minutely toothletted ; branches 
angular. Native of Surinam. 
7. Eupatorium amarum, or bitter eupatorium : leaves, 
cordate-ovate, acuminate, quite entire, fubtomentofe un¬ 
derneath ; flowers corymbed,; ftem climbing. Found in 
the Caribbee iflands by Martfelt, and in Surinam by 
Rolander. 
8. Eupatorium Houftoni, orHoufton’s hemp-agrimony r 
ftem twining ; leaves ovate, quite entire. Stalks (lender, 
twining eight or ten feet high, fending out fmall oppofite- 
branches at moft of the upper joints. Lower leaves 
heart-ftiaped, ending in acute points ; upper almoft tri- 
augular, fmooth, and ot a lucid green. The upper part 
of the ftalks has long branching (talks of white flowers,, 
which are fmall and (eRile. It was fent to Mr, Miller, 
from Jamaica by Dr. Houftoun. 
II. Calyxes five-flowered. 9. Eupatorium Zeylani- 
currij or Ceylon hemp-agrimony : leaves bvate-haftate,, 
X petiolsd.,.
