Sentences with POTERIUM (5)
See Brunette.] (Bot.) A genus of perennial herbs (Poterium); especially, P.Sanguisorba, the common, or garden, burnet.
Smaller than this Common Burnet is the Salad Burnet, _Poterium sanguisorba, quod sanguineos fluxus sistat_, a useful [431] styptic, which is also cordial, and promotes perspiration.
See Brunette.] (Bot.) Defn: A genus of perennial herbs (Poterium); especially, P.Sanguisorba, the common, or garden, burnet.

These flowers are of two kinds, staminate and pistillate, and because, like those of _Poterium_, they are borne upon the same plant, botanists describe _Sagittaria_ as _monœcious_, just as they describe the Hop as _diœcious_, because its two sexes are on different plants.
