blue, striped with 5 fine white veins. Nuts reticulately wrinkled, 
girded by a tumid circle below. This plant was formerly recom-

commonly called a carbuncle, by laying the bruised leaves on the 
tumour ; but it is difficult to persuade oneself that such a plant 
can have any efficacy in such a disease.
