couches with the leaves. Hence also it has had the affected name of Piper eunuchorum and monachorum. 
The seeds of the chaste-tree are, however, so far from being thought antiaphrodisiac, that writers of later 
times have ascribed to them an opposite quality ; their aromatic pungency seems to favor this opinion, and 
Bergius states them to be carminative and emmenagogue. {Woodville.) 
The fruit of V. trifolia is reputed in the eastern countries to be warm, discutient, nervine, cephalic, and 
emmenagogue ; and to be of service in paralysis, weakness, and pains of the limbs. It is in great use among 
the Indian practitioners, both internally and externally. The plant has a bitter taste, and a strong somewhat 
aromatic smell.
