Observations on the action of the broom-seed in dropsical affections / by Richard Pearson.
A short medical monograph by Richard Pearson on using broom seed to treat dropsy, published in London in 1835 for physicians and apothecaries. The hand-coloured plates show Spartium junceum in botanical detail: a whole flowering branch, yellow pea-flowers on a bare green stem, and close studies of ripening seed pods, with handwritten captions and pale cream backgrounds.
