The glaux1883 was known in ancient times as the “eugalacton.”1884 In the leaves it resembles the cytisus and the lentil, only that they are whiter beneath. The branches, five or six in number, are extremely thin, and, springing from the root, creep upon the ground, with small purple blossoms upon them. This plant is found in localities near the sea. It is boiled in a pottage made of similago,1885 to increase the milk: females, however, after taking it, must immediately use the bath.
