A Grammatical Dictionary of Botanical Latin

Vomitio,-onis (s.f.III), vomitione: a vomiting, spewing.

- vinum, in quo Muscus arboreus maceratus, “Serapio altum ait inducere somnum, ventriculum corroborare, vomitiones compescere & alvi sistere profluvia." Hoc se expertum dicit Camellus (Dill.), [wine] in which the tree-like moss is steeped, it is said by Serapius to induce a deep sleep, to strengthen the stomach, to restrain vomiting and arrest flows of the bowels.” Camellus informs us he made a trial of this himself.

Vomitory, emetic, an inducement to vomit: emetica,-ae (s.f.I), abl. sg. emetica; medicamentum (-i, s.n.II) vomificum, abl. sg. medicamento vomifico.

A work in progress, presently with preliminary A through R, and S, and with S (in part) through Z essentially completed.
