Stinking- weed* 



This plant is very common about Kingjlon, and rifes generally to the height of two 

 feet and a half, or better : it is loofe in its ramifications, and well fupplied with flowers, 

 difpofed in loofe fpikes at the extremities of the branches. The ribs on which the 

 leaves are fet, are, in almoft every fpecies of this kind,- furnifhed with a gland, 

 which in fome is placed higher, in others lower upon the fhank, and in many be- 

 tween the leaves themfelves j but in this particular fort it is iituated very low, and 

 near the infertion of the rib. 



* 



Pifo fays, that the juice of this plant applied outwardly, or injected, is a fpecific 

 in the inflammations of the anus; and Markgrave adds, that the root is a power- 

 ful diuretic and antidote: but the top is the only part that is ufed in Jamaica, 

 where the plant is commonly employed in all refolutive baths, and is accounted a 

 very powerful ingredient on fuch occafions.
