1. Feverfewnoun

   It has a fibrose root: the leaves are conjugated, and divided into many segments: the cup of the flower is squamose and hemispherical: the flowers grow in an umbel upon the top of the stalks, and the rays of the flower are generally white. The species are nine; but the first, called common feverfew, is the sort used in medicine, and is found wild in many parts of England; but is, however, cultivated in medicinal gardens. Philip Miller

   Etymology: febris and fugo, Latin.

1. feverfew

   Feverfew is a plant that is native to Asia Minor and the Balkans but is now grown throughout Europe, North America and South America. The plant’s flower, leaf, and stems are used to make medicine. It's traditionally used for treating various health conditions, most notably migraines and headaches, but also arthritis, digestive problems, infertility and fever. Even though its name suggests it might be used to treat fever, research does not support this use.

1. Feverfew

   Feverfew is a traditional medicinal herb which is found in many old gardens, and is also occasionally grown for ornament. The plant grows into a small bush up to around 46 cm high with citrus-scented leaves, and is covered by flowers reminiscent of daisies. It spreads rapidly, and they will cover a wide area after a few years. It is also commonly seen in the literature by its synonyms, Chrysanthemum parthenium and Pyrethrum parthenium. It is also sometimes referred to as bachelor's buttons or featherfew.
