and Miscellaneous Particulars. medicinally. TJnder-shrubs or herbs of little beauty; but several of them aromatic. The leaves and younger branches of T. marum (Mar, Arabic, signifying bitter), when recent, on being rubbed between the fingers, emit a volatile aromatic smell, which readily excites sneezing, but to the taste they are bitterish, accompanied with a sensation of heat and acrimony. Cats are very fond of these plants, and where there are few will destroy them. T. scorodonia (flxo^a&m, garlic, the smell of which this plant possesses) in Jersey is used as a substitute for hops, and the beer is said sooner to become clear than when hops are made use of. Withering found on trial that it gave too much color to the liquor. T. scordium, also from exofoSot, garlic, was once in high esteem for destroying worms and for fomentations
