The above description is abridged from Siebold and Zuccarini's 

 beautiful work ; those writers describe the root as sweet with an 

 after bitter taste, and add, that it is considered an efficacious 

 remedy in complaints of the chest and chronic affections of the 

 lungs. We have queried the description of the anthers, which aro 

 said to be 4-locular, probably being a clerical error for 2-locular, 

 as they appear to be in the plate, and in that given in the * Flore 

 des Serres/
