This is a nineteenth century printing of Nicholas Culpeper's seventeenth century English herbal, assigning each plant a ruling planet and zodiacal sign according to the astrological medicine of Culpeper's own era. As a primary text of that specific system it is authoritative for what Culpeper's astrological herbalism actually assigned, not for any medical or therapeutic claim, which this atlas draws from it nowhere. Use it only to establish a plant's traditional planetary or zodiacal classification within this specific historical system; no health guidance of any kind should be read into a citation to this source.
