44 T. SCORDIUM (Lin. spec. 790.) herbaceous, perennial, vil- 

 lous, rarely glabrous ; leaves oblong, toothed, narrowed at the

 Stems creeping or rooting at the base; floriferous branches erect 

 or ascending, more or less villous. Leaves about an inch long, 

 hairy, soft : floral ones longer than the flowers. Corollas small, 

 purplish. The fresh leaves are bitter, and rather pungent. 

 Powdered, they destroy worms. A decoction of the plant is a 

 good fomentation in gangrenous cases. It has a strong disagree- 

 able smell, somewhat approaching to that of garlic ; whence its 

 specific name from arKopodov, garlic. It was once in high esteem 

 as an antiseptic and an alexpharmic, to which it certainly had 

 no claim. Cullen says it has a bitter, joined with some volatile 

 parts ; but that neither of these qualities is considerable enough 

 to retain it in the present practice.
