1. Title: Common Horehound (Marrubium vulgare) - A Treasured Medicinal Herb 2. Description: This chromolithograph depicts the Common Horehound plant (Marrubium vulgare), a time-honored medicinal herb that has been used for centuries to alleviate various health ailments. The intricately detailed illustration, derived from Hermann Adolph Koehler's Medicinal Plants, edited by Gustav Pabst, showcases the plant's distinct features, including its hairy stems, narrow, lanceolate leaves, and small, pinkish-purple flowers. 3. Background: Common Horehound, also known as White Horehound or Marrubium, is a perennial herb native to Europe, North Africa, and western Asia. The plant has a long history of medicinal use, dating back to ancient Greek and Roman times. It was traditionally used to soothe coughs, relieve respiratory issues, and aid digestion. 4. Medicinal Properties: The plant contains several active compounds, including marrubiin, which is believed to be responsible for its expectorant and antitussive properties. Common Horehound has been used to treat a range of conditions, including bronchitis, asthma, and gastrointestinal issues. 5. Botanical Illustration: The chromolithograph is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of botanical illustration during the late 19th century. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring the Common Horehound plant to life, making it a valuable addition to any botanical collection or herbal study. 6.
