Characteristics
The maritime Eryngium (the beautiful plant growing on sand-hills by the sea, with holly-like leaves of a pale blue colour with metallic lustre, in general appearance much more resembling a thistle than an umbellifer) has been proved by one prover only, E. B. Ivatts, but the symptoms show considerable resemblance to those of Eryng. aquat. Pains in the eyes, groins, larynx, nape of neck, sinking at epigastrium, and weakness of the male sexual organs appear in both. But the Eryng. m. has its symptoms more prominently on the right side. Compare also Phelland. aquat., Conium, and other Umbellifers.
