Botany. GiLV. CORDIACE^. 573 Viper's Bugloss (Echium vulgare), the flowering tops of which were recommended for the hite of the viper; Gromwell (JLithospermu7n officinale), commonly termed Pearlwort, on account of its hard and pearl-grey nucules, which were supposed to be of use in dissolving bladder-stones; and Heliotropium europemm, of which the bitter and salt leaves were applied to ulcers and warts. Tournefortia umbellata is still used in Mexico as a febrifuge. In tropical America and in India certain species of Tiaridium are used in herpetic affec- tions. Some EhretieeB have an edible fruit. Finally, the roots of several species of Anchiisa, Onosma, Lithnspernmm, Amelia, contain a red colouring matter, soluble in alcohol and fatty bodies, which is em- ployed to colour certain unguents and other external applications.
