146 Fragaria vesca its leaves to improve their complexions, a use reflected in a folk song fragment in Cornish collected in 1698. 166 Ireland has produced the only other record of a non-veterinary use: from Antrim, of a belief that excessive ardour can be cooled with strawberry-leaf tea 167 ;but the leaves for that may have come from a garden species and not this native one. Geum urbanum Linnaeus plate 12 herb-Bennet, wood avens Europe, western Asia, North Africa, Australia; introduced into North America, New Zealand Though long a prominent member of the learned repertory, the widespread, easily distinguished and readily accessible Geum urbanum, in places an inextinguishable garden weed, was almost completely neglected in British and Irish folk medicine, if the near-absence of records for it is a fair reflection of the reality. For Britain there is just an isolated record from Bedfordshire of the use of ‘green benet’, which has been identified as this species. The plant was stewed with vinegar and, when cold, used to soothe sore eyes. 168 Assuming it is correctly identified as the‘evans’employed for kidney trouble inCavan, 169 that is the only reliable record traced from Ireland, similarly. The species does receive mention in another Irish source, as in use for chills, 170 but in that case the record is neither localised nor unambiguously a folk one. Agrimonia eupatoria Linnaeus agrimony Europe, south-western Asia, North Africa, Macaronesia; introduced into North America Agrimonia procera Wallroth fragrant agrimony Europe Though Agrimonia eupatoria is a common plant of the lowlands and its popularity as a medicine goes back at least to Galen and Pliny, it may resemble house-leek (Sempervivum tectorum) in having been taken over for herbal use in the British Isles from an intrusive tradition: its seeds have been detected in Norse levels at York and it also features in the Anglo-Saxon manuscripts. That the records of its folk use come preponderantly from areas in the west particularly associated with Norse settlement is therefore suspicious. Principally taken in the form of a tea, as a mild tonic and stimulant, Agri-
chapter 8 Currants, Succulents and Roses 147 monia eupatoria is one of several herbs to have gained a reputation as a general prophylactic and purifier of the system. As such it is on record as having been drunk, on its own or combined with other herbs, in many parts of England as well as south-eastern Scotland. It has also been valued more specifically as a treatment for sore throats and the heavier kinds of colds and Agrimonia eupatoria, agrimony (Fuchs 1543, fig. 135)
