Purslainnoun
portulaca, Lat. A plant.
The flower of purslain consists of many leaves, which expand in form of a rose, out of whose flower-cup, which consists of one leaf, arises the pointal, which, together with the flower-cup, becomes a fruit, for the most part oval, full of small seeds, and furnished with two shells or husks at top; of which the outer one, which was the part of the flower-cup that was split in two, opens first; and the inner one, which is the pointal inlarged, opens last, doubly and transversely, while the lower part of the flower-cup adheres to the foot-stalk. Philip Miller.
The medicaments, proper to diminish the milk, are lettice, purslain and endive. Richard Wiseman, Surgery.
