Samuel Johnson's Dictionary
Hoarhoundnoun
marrubium, Latin. A plant.
It is a verticillate plant with a lip flower, consisting of one leaf, whose upper lip or crest is upright, with two horns; but the under lip or beard is divided into three parts: the pointal is fixed to the hinder part of the flower, and attended by four embryoes, which become so many oblong seeds, inclosed in the flower-cup. Philip Miller.
Hoarhound has its leaves and flower-cup covered very thick with a white hoariness: it is famous for the relief it gives in moist asthmas, and in all diseases of the breast and lungs, of which a thick and viscous matter is the cause; but it is now little used. John Hill, Mat. Med.
