"[Plin. Nat. 25.40.] - BUGLOSSOS: THREE REMEDIES.
To an account of the plantago may be annexed that of the buglossos, the leaf of which resembles an ox tongue. The main peculiarity of this plant is, that if put into wine, it promotes mirth and hilarity, whence it has obtained the additional name of “euphrosynum.””
