This thesis will examine what was meant by the term leprosy during primarily the medieval period between the sixth and fifteenth centuries in Ireland in order to see if this equates with the disease called Hansen’s Disease in the twenty-first century.

The five-volume work was written between 50 and 70 CE by Pedanius Dioscorides, a Greek physician in the Roman army. It was widely read for more than 1,500 years until it supplanted the revised herbs during the Renaissance, making it one of the longest of all natural history books. The paper describes many drugs that are known to be effective, including aconite, aloe, coloxinth, colocum, genban, opium and squirt. In all, about 600 plants are covered, along with some animals and minerals, and about 1000 medicines of them. De materia medica was distributed as illustrated manuscripts, copied by hand, in Greek, Latin and Arabic throughout the media period. From the sixteenth century, the text of the Dioscopide was translated into Italian, German, Spanish and French, and in 1655 into English. It formed the basis of herbs in these languages by such people as Leonhart Fuchs, Valery Cordus, Lobelius, Rembert Dodoens, Carolus Klusius, John Gerard and William Turner. Gradually these herbs included more and more direct observations, complementing and eventually displacing the classic text.

    Department of Plant Pathology PLANT HEALTH Sherrie Smith CLINIC NEWS Rick Cartwright Issue 2-March 18 , 2009 This bulletin from the Cooperative Extension Plant Health Clinic (Plant Disease Clinic) is an electronic Hellebore update about diseases and other problems observed in our lab each month. Input from everybody interested in plants is welcome and appreciated. Hellebore There are fifteen species of Hellebores commonly known as Lenten Rose. Most of the genus has shiny evergreen leaves, forming attractive clumps 9-18 inches tall and 24 inches wide. Hellebores have the added attraction of being extremely deer-resistant. They are among the first perennials to bloom, starting in February in many locations and continuing until spring. The lovely flowers are in shades of purple, pink, and white. Hellebores www.avidgardeners.org require partial shade, good drainage, adequate moisture, and thrive best in nearly neutral soils.

    Helleborus Niger Helleborus Niger, Commonly Called Christmas Rose Or Black Hellebore, Is an Evergreen Perennial Flowering Plant in the Buttercup Family, Ranunculaceae

    Helleborus niger Helleborus niger, commonly called Christmas rose or black hellebore, is an evergreen perennial flowering plant in the buttercup family, Ranunculaceae. It is poisonous. Although the flowers resemble wild roses (and despite its common name), Christmas rose does not belong to the rose family (Rosaceae). Taxonomy The black hellebore was described by Carl Linnaeus in volume one of his Species Plantarum in 1753.The Latin specific name niger (black) may refer to the colour of the roots. There are two subspecies: H. niger niger and H. niger macranthus, which has larger flowers (up to 3.75 in/9 cm across). In the wild, H. niger niger is generally found in mountainous areas in Switzerland, southern Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia and northern Italy. Helleborus niger macranthus is found only in northern Italy and possibly adjoining parts of Slovenia. Description Helleborus niger is an evergreen plant with dark leathery pedate leaves carried on stems 9–12 in (23–30 cm) tall. The large flat flowers, borne on short stems from midwinter to early spring, are generally white, but occasionally purple or pink. The tips of the petals may be flushed pink or green, and there is a prominent central boss of yellow. Horticulture The plant is a traditional cottage garden favourite because it flowers in the depths of winter. Large- flowered cultivars are available, as are pink-flowered and double-floweredselections. It can be difficult to grow well; acid soil is unsuitable, as are poor, dry conditions and full sun. Moist, humus-rich, alkaline soil in dappled shade is preferable. Leaf-mould can be dug in to improve heavy clay or light sandy soils; lime can be added to 'sweeten' acid soils.

    Art. II. Observations on the Medicinal Properties of the Veratrum Viride. by Charles Osgood, M

    296 Osgood’s Observations on the Veratrum Viride. Art. II. Observations on the Medicinal Properties of the Veratrum Viride. By Charles Osgood, M. D. of Providence, Rhode Island. The following remarks on the Veratrum viride or green hellebore, are submitted to the profession with the hope of turning their attention to an article of medicine hitherto but little known. Some of the popular names of this plant are American hellebore, swamp hellebore, Indian poke, Indian Uncas, poke weed, bear weed, itch weed, tickle weed. Beside these, there are others of a more local character, and of those already enumerated, there are several which are equally applied to other plants. It is indigenous—found in almost every part of the United States, the product of swamps and wet meadows—top annual, and root perennial. It appears early in the spring, and is one of the first plants which attract our notice at the commencement of return¬ ing vegetation. It is often found associated with the Ictodes feetidus, particularly on the margin of small streams in low boggy lands. Both require the same soil, and grow with equal luxuriance. Its flowering season in the northern and middle states is in June; in the southern as early as May. This plant in its botanical characters is closely allied to the Veratrum album or white hellebore, a distin¬ guished medicinal plant found in most countries of Europe. Its bota¬ nical description is fully given in most of our works upon that sub¬ ject. The root, the part employed in medicine, is bulbous, the upper portion tunicated like an onion, the lower half solid, sending forth a large number of strong, whitish radicles.

Shoot cultures were initiated from shoot buds collected in May and August from 15-year-old field-grownRosa ‘Konstancin’ shrubs. The effect and interaction of different concentrations of phytohormones, sucrose and iron sources on in vitro initiation, multiplication and rooting of shoots were studied. The time of collecting explants from donor plants significantly affected the initiation of shoot culture ofRosa ‘Konstancin’. Considerably higher frequency of bud break (100%) was obtained in explants isolated in August as compared to those collected at the end of May (30%). All buds developed into single shoots after 2-4 weeks of growing on the basal Murashige and Skoog medium containing 2.2 µM BAP, 0.3 µM GA3 and 88 mM of sucrose. The highest multiplication rate (4.8 shoots/explant) in a 5-week period was obtained on MS medium containing 50% of nitrogen salts, 3.1 µM BAP, 0.9 µM GA3 and 58 mM sucrose.

    Therapeutic Use of Some Romanian Medicinal Plants

    Chapter Therapeutic Use of Some Romanian Medicinal Plants Adina-Elena Segneanu, Claudiu Cepan, Ioan Grozescu, Florentina Cziple, Sorin Olariu, Sonia Ratiu, Viorica Lazar, Sorin Marius Murariu, Silvia Maria Velciov and Teodora Daniela Marti Abstract Romanian traditional medicine has an extremely old history. The Dacian knowl- edge of the curative properties of medicinal plants was documented by Herodotus, Hippocrates, Galen, and Dioscorides. It must be emphasized that modern chemical screening has confirmed the therapeutic properties of the medicinal plants used by the Dacians. More interesting is that Dacians used many of these herbs for differ- ent dishes. Practically, for Dacians, food was medicine. Recent research on some Romanian medicinal plants has highlighted their pharmacognostical importance. It is known that currently, the importance and dynamics of the research on medicinal plants in the area of drug discovery continues to increase worldwide. The main reason is not only the high efficiency of secondary metabolites in case of serious diseases (cancer, viral infections, malaria, etc.) but also the minimization of the side effects of the synthetic drugs. Keywords: Dacians, phytotherapy, secondary metabolites 1. Introduction Phytotherapy has always played an essential role in the development of humanity. Traditional medicine still continues to have major importance in many areas of the world, especially in low-income regions [1–7]. Although in developed countries, alternative medicine has been outdated by modern medical techniques, at present, there is a growing trend toward natural remedies. The importance of medicinal plants emerges from the fact that world- wide, almost 50% of existing synthetic medicaments are derived from natural extracts [2–7].
