Polycnemon1562 is a plant which resembles cunila bubula;1563 it has a seed like that of pennyroyal, a ligneous stem with numerous articulations, and odoriferous umbels, with a pleasant though pungent smell. This plant is chewed and applied to wounds inflicted with iron, the application being removed at the end of four days. Symphyton1564 causes sores to cicatrize with the greatest rapidity; the same, too, with sideritis,1565 which is applied in combination with honey. The seed and leaves of verbascum,1566 boiled in wine and pounded, are used for the extraction of all foreign substances adhering to the body; and a similar use is made of leaves of mandragora1567 mixed with polenta,1568 and roots of cyclaminos1569 with honey. Leaves of trixago,1570 bruised in oil, are used for ulcers of a serpiginous nature more particularly, as also sea-weed bruised with honey. Betony, with the addition of salt, is employed for the cure of carcinomatous sores and inveterate blisters on the neck.
