There is another hypericon also, known as "caros" [Note] by some. The leaves of it resemble those of the tamarix, [Note] beneath [Note] which it grows, but are more unctuous [Note] and not so red. It is an odoriferous plant, somewhat more than a palm [Note] in height, of a sweet flavour, and slightly pungent. The seed is of a warming nature, and is consequently productive of eructations; it is not, however, injurious to the stomach. This plant is particularly useful for strangury, provided the bladder
be not ulcerated; taken in wine, it is curative of pleurisy also.
