"[Plin. Nat. 20.60.] - LIGUSTICUM, OR LOVAGE: FOUR REMEDIES.
Ligusticum, by some persons known as “panax,” is good for the stomach, and is curative of convulsions and flatulency. There are persons who give this plant the name of “cunila bubula;” but, as we have already stated, they are in error in so doing.”
