CULPEPER'S COMPLETE HERBAL

MONEY WILLOW-HERB

Description. The root of this is knotty at the head, sending out several long strings and small fibres; the stalks are tough and limber, growing not to any great height, having the leaves set alternately upon them, which are hard, firm, and full of straight nerves, of an oval shape, but sharp-pointed at the end, about two inches long; on the middle of the back part of each grows a small mossy green flower, which is succeeded by the seed, which is small and brown. The whole plant is so weak, that it scarce supports itself, but trails upon the ground a good way.

Place. It is also found in damp woods.

Time. It flowers in July.
