ARISTOTÈLIA, Willdenow. In memory of Arist
o t l e . Linn. 11, Or. 1, ISTat. Or. Tiliàceoe.

little beauty. In a Avarm situation it grows
freely, in common soil, and ripened cuttings
soon take, as do also layers. It produces eatable
berries.

ARMENÏACA, Toicrnefort. Named from the apricot
being originally ivom Armenia. Linn. 12,
Or. 1, Nat. Or. Dritpàccoe. A genus of valuable
fruit trees, as is at once apparent from its
containing the Avell-known apricot. The species
all thrive well in a rich loamy soil, and are
best increased by budding on kind free-growing
plum stocks. A. vitlgàris, or common apricot,
produces a round, yellow, firmish-ileshed fruit,
little less esteemed than the peach or nectarine ;
it is used fresh from the tree at the dessert, and
is also made into jellies, preserves, &c. ; from
the clarified juice the Chinese make lozenges,
which, dissolved by water, yield a grateful
beverage ; the nut yields a kind of oil, and the
young shoots a fine golden colour to wool.

ARTEMÍSIA, Linn. Artemis, one of the names
of Diana ; the plant is said to have been named
after Diana, on account of its being used in
bringing on precocious puberty. Linn. 19, Or.
1, Nat. Or. Asteràceoe. Some species of this
genus are pretty, others merely ornamental,
while some are wholly uninteresting; their
silvery leaves have a showy effect in rockwork,
for which places they are well suited ;
they grow in almost any soil, and are increased
readily from divisions, cuttings, and seeds. A.
chinénsis, and some other species, yield the
moxa of China, a substance used as a cautery,
by burning it upon parts affected with gout
and rheumatism. In India A. îiidicais considered
a powerful deobstruent and antispasmodic
; and the leaves of other species are
esteemed a valuable stomachic medicine. Synonymes
