A herb to which healing virtues were attributed; the plant so called by the Romans is generally supposed to have been the comfrey ( Symphytum officinale). But the medieval herbalists distinguished three species, C. major, media, and minor, which they identified as the Comfrey, Bugle ( Ajuga reptans) and Daisy ( Bellis perennis) respectively. The field Larkspur was also called Consolida regia or regalis, King's Consound, whence Linnæus's specific name Delphinium Consolida.The name Solidago was a medieval synonym of Consolida, whence ‘Consound’ has also sometimes been erroneously used as a book-name of species of the composite genus to which Solidago is now applied, or of Senecio confounded with it.
