Scotland, on the banks of the Clyde in several places, and in the 
Isle of Bute, near Mount Stuart. Professor Hooker mentions

fleshy, tuberous, somewhat creeping, of an aromatic and acrid 
quality; long supposed a sovereign counter-poison, and cele- 
brated as a powerful external as well as internal remedy in nu- 
merous disorders. It is said to be a sudorific, diuretic, and 
sialogogue ; recommended in dropsy and debilities of the sto- 
mach and bowels; an infusion of it in wine is said to have 
cured quartans that have resisted the bark. When chewed it 
excites a copious flow of saliva, with a warm and not disagree- 
able sensation in the gums, and frequently cures the rheumatic 
toothache. The mericarps are broadly winged. The plant is 
cultivated in several places for the London market.
