The flowers are yellow, and the leaves clofcly im- 

 bricated, fo as to make the flalks appear cylin-

 rous fores and cancers : taken internally it ope- 

 rates ftrongly as an emetic and cathartic. An 

 ounce of it, boil'd in twelve ounces of ale, and 

 taken in four dofes, has been found ferviceable.
