Of Umbelliferae there exists in the low country one Ferula, a small tree of unknown properties.

This substance is described in the London Pharmacopia as a gum resin, the production of an uncertain species of Ferula.

In this place we are called upon to consider, whether it be more agreeable to have Latin or the ferula at our fingers ends.
