Flix-weed, in Latin
Sophia Chirurgorum.
It is
two or three Foot high.
It has many hard, woody
Branches; they are round,
and a little hairy. The
Leaves are cut small, like
Roman-Wormwood; it
tastes somewhat acrid. The
Flowers are many, small,
and yellowish. The Pods
succeed the Flower; they
are about an Inch long,
and very small. The Seed
is very small, and brown.
The Root is white. It
grows in stony and gravel∣ly
Places, and on Stone-Walls,
and in untill'd
Grounds.
A Dram of the Seed is
very good for a Loosness:
And not only the Seed, but
the whole Herb, is com∣mended
for the Fluxes of
the Belly, and the Bloody
Flux. 'Tis used in Pla∣sters
for Wounds, and sor∣did
Ulcers. In Yorkshire
they use the Seed to ex∣pel
Gravel, with good Suc∣cess.
