Flax-leaved Goldylocks. Linarea aurea Traji. Ger. Em. This rare 
plant, new to the British Flora, was discovered in the autumn of 1812, 
* ( Evnalwpiov , of Dioscorides, a surname of Mithridates, king of Pontus, by whom the 
plant was introduced as an alexipharmic. E.) 
+ An infusion of a handful of it vomits, and also proves a strong cathartic. An ounce 
of the root in decoction is a full dose. In smaller doses the Dutch peasants take it as an 
alterative, and antiscorbutic (the turf-diggers especially, being peculiarly subject to swell¬ 
ings and ulceration of the legs. E.) Goats eat it. Cows, horses, sheep and swine lefuse 
it. (Dr. Swediaur recommends the root as a diuretic serviceable in dropsy. E.) 
t (From upvaog, gold; and xo/nj, hair; not inapplicable to the general colour of the 
flower; but probably applied by Dioscorides to plants of which that circumstance was more 
obviously characteristic. E.)
