| Notes: | Label source: Under this name a plant was presented to the Museum by Messrs G N Souratty & Co. It has a high reputation in Ecuador as an emmenagogue and uterine stimulant, and is said to be invariably used, in the form of tea, for mountain sickness. Its, greatest reputation, however, is as a cure for sterility. The plant is stated to grow in rocky places on the mountains where the ledges are nearly bare of soil. On examination the plant proves to be Micromeria. It belongs to the natural order Labiatae and, has a flavour resembling that of Pennyroyal. From The Pharm. Jour. 23/04/1892. Originally Micromeria gilliesii = possibly Gardoquia gilliesii det. JA Paton | ||||
