sneezeweed(n.)
也称 sneeze-weed,是一种常见的北美植物,早在1807年就因其粉末状的叶子被用于医疗上催促打喷嚏而得名; 参见 sneeze(v.)+ weed(n.)。Sneezewort(1590年代)是另一种植物。
A new and very important addition to the number of the Errhine medicines has lately been made by the discovery of the properties of a very common North American plant, the Helenium autumnale of Linnæus. The errhine power resides in the leaves and in the flowers, but especially in the latter. This Helenium is known, in some parts of the United States, by the names of "Sneeze weed," and "Snuff Plant." It is eminently deserving of a place in the shops. ["Second Supplement to the Philadelphia Medical and Physical Journal," July 1807]
最近,人们发现了一种非常常见的北美植物——林奈菊(Helenium autumnale)的一种新的、非常重要的喷鼻剂药物。喷鼻剂的功效存在于其叶子和花朵中,但尤其是后者。在美国的一些地方,这种林奈菊被称为“Sneeze weed”和“Snuff Plant”。它非常值得在商店中销售。["费城医学和物理杂志第二期补充",1807年7月]
