    Author: Dickson JH, Gauld WW.
    Journal: Scott Med J; 1987 Apr; 32(2):60-2. PubMed ID: 3299698.
    Abstract:
    Deputy Rector of the University of Glasgow and a vicar choral of Glasgow Cathedral, the physician Mark Jameson made many annotations in his copy of the 1549 edition of Fuchs' herbal. On the back flyleaf are the names of 26 plants, 22 of which were "To be sett & sawin in ye garding". Many of the 26 plants have gynaecological properties; some are even abortifacient, especially the highly dangerous savin, Juniperus sabina.
