Primula obconica
prim-obcPrimrose
The poison of the Primrose occurs in its glandular hairs, which break easily and discharge an irritating fluid which is absorbed into the skin.

They record what their authors observed and taught, as historical reference for students and practitioners of homeopathy — not current clinical evidence.
