Hemp 3 Agrimony, or Eupa-torium cannalinum, L. is likewise a native plant, and grows chiefly on the banks of rivulets, and near hedges. A representation of it may be seen in Sowerby's English Botany, p. 428, plates 7 and 8.

In its sensible and medicinal properties, this plant much resembles the preceding species; and its leaves are also stated to be very efficacious in dropsy, jaundice, and similar disorders.

According to an account given bv the celebrated Boerhaave, hemp-agrimony is the common medicine of the turf-diggers in Holland, for scurvies, foul ulcers, and those swellings in the feet, to which they are much exposed. Although the root of this plant be not, at present, in common use, yet it is asserted to be a powerful laxative.

In dying, the leaves of this vegetable, especially with the addition of logwood, and boiled with a proper solution of green vitriol, strike a good black colour. Dambourney informs us, that he has obtained a mordore, or yellow dye, by making a decoction of the. whole plant. Agrostemma Githago, L. See Corn-cockle.
