CHAP. 60.—LIGUSTICUM, OR LOVAGE: FOUR REMEDIES.

Ligusticum,1 by some persons known as "panax," is good for the stomach, and is curative of convulsions and flatulency. There are persons who give this plant the name of "cunila bubula;" but, as we have already2 stated, they are in error in so doing.

1 Or Lovage. See B. xix. c. 50.

2 In B. xix. c. 50, where he states that Crateuas has given to the wild Ligusticum the name of Cunila bubula, or "ox cunila."
