There is another hypericon also, known as “caros”1264 by some. The leaves of it resemble those of the tamarix,1265 beneath1266 which it grows, but are more unctuous1267 and not so red. It is an odoriferous plant, somewhat more than a palm1268 in height, of a sweet flavour, and slightly pungent. The seed is of a warming nature, and is consequently productive of eructations; it is not, however, injurious to the stomach. This plant is particularly useful for strangury, provided the bladder be not ulcerated; taken in wine, it is curative of pleurisy also.
