Figwort

Figwort or Carpenter’s square as it was known to the Eclectic Physicians has over 200 species listed in most botany books. All these species share the same square stems, opposite leaves and terminal clusters of bi-lipped flowers. Bees love the nectar from figwort plants. The name scropularia comes from the medical term “scrofula” which is another name for a Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in the lymph glands of the neck.
