Historical Definition
Hinicula, genicula, or gumicula is valerian.
Meaning
The entry supplies alternative forms and a direct plant identification. No part of the plant, preparation or medicinal use is stated, so the three names should remain naming aids rather than descriptions of three different remedies.
Use in the Book
Gumicula has its own short entry with the same valerian identification. That internal duplication supports the relationship among the names. It should remain searchable without suppressing the other headword or adding a modern species that the dictionary does not specify.
Places to Read
Gumicula. A plant name directly referred to valerian.
