Among the plants named from those who first invented, discovered, cultivated, domesticated, or appropriated them.
Rabelais also refers to eupatoria in Chapter 49, where its leaves are said to so resemble those of Pantagruelion, that several herbalists having called it domestic, have said eupatoria is wild Pantagruelion.

Eupatorium
Eupatoria
Water-agrimony (Sweet-maudlin). Pliny xxv. 6, § 29. Eupator was king of Syria, son on Antiochus Epiphanes.
Mithridates
Ipsi Mithridati Crateuas adscripsit unam, mithridatiam vocatam (huic folia duo a radice acantho similia, caulis inter utraque sustinens roseum florem).
To Mithridates himself Crateuas ascribed one plant, called mithridatia. It has two leaves, like those of the acanthus, springing from the root, with a stem between them which supports a rose-pink flower.
eupatorium
Eupatoria quoque regiam auctoritatem habet, caulis lignosi, nigricantis, hirsuti, cubitalis et aliquando amplioris, foliis per intervalla quinquefolii aut cannabis per extremitates incisis quinquepertito, nigris et ipsis plumosisque, radice supervacua. semen dysintericis in vino potum auxiliatur unice.
Eupatoria [Eupator was a surname of Mithridates VI, King of Pontus. See § 62 and XXXIII. § 151.] too enjoys the prestige of a royal discoverer. It has a ligneous stem, dark, hairy, and a cubit or sometimes more in height; the leaves, arranged at intervals, are like those of cinquefoil or hemp, and have five indentations along the edge; they too are dark and feathery. The root is useless, but the seed taken in wine is a sovereign remedy in cases of dysentery.
Eupatoria
« Eupatoria quoque regiam auctoritatem habet. » Pline XXV, 29. On a dédié à Mithridate Eupator, roi de Pont : 1° l’Eupatoire d’Avicenne, Eupatorium cannabinum, L. 2° l’Eupatoire de Mésuë, Achillea ageratum, L. 3° l’Aigremoine, Agrimonia eupatoria, L., qui, pour Sprengel, est la véritable Eupatoire de Dioscoride. Cependant, l’Eupatoire décrite par Pline, et vantée par Galien, Paul d’Égine, Avicenne, est l’E. cannabinum. (Paul Delaunay)
