The cardinals are divided into three classes or orders, containing six bishops, fifty priests, and fourteen deacons, making seventy.

The dress of a cardinal is a red soutaine or cassock, a rocket, a short purple mantle and a red hat.

They are fibrous-rooted perennials, rising from two to five or six feet high, with erect stalks, ornamented with oblong, oval, spear-shaped simple leaves, and spikes of beautiful monopetalous flowers of scarlet, blue and violet colors. The natives of this country use a decoction of one species, the siphilitica, as a remedy in the venereal disease.
Cardinal numbers, are the numbers, one, two, three, etc. , in distinction from first, second, third, etc. , which are called ordinal numbers.
Cardinal points, in cosmography, are the four intersections of the horizon with the meridian, and the prime vertical circle, or North and South, East and West. In astrology, the cardinal points are the rising and setting of the sun, the zenith and nadir.
