Tn the drug the plant is much broken up, it has a pleasant odour like sweet hay; there are no leaves to be seen. Taste bitter; properties, stimulant, anthelmintic and deobstruent. This drug has often been attributed to, Hyssopus officinalis, but this cannot be correct, as the flowers are in oblong spikes. It is imported from Persia. Dr Dymock. | ||||
