Celidonium Majus, commonly known as greater celandine, is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the poppy family, Papaveraceae. It is native to Europe and western Asia but has been widely naturalized in North America. The plant is characterized by its bright yellow flowers and distinctive, deeply lobed leaves. Greater celandine has a long history of use in traditional medicine, primarily for its purported benefits in treating skin conditions, digestive disorders, and liver ailments.

The plant contains a variety of alkaloids, including chelidonine, sanguinarine, and berberine, which contribute to its medicinal properties. These compounds are known for their antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic effects. However, it is important to note that greater celandine is also toxic, and improper use can lead to serious health issues, including liver damage.

In the 19th century, the French botanist and physician Louis Félix Jules Hoquart included Celidonium Majus in his comprehensive work, "Phytographie Medicale." This publication aimed to document the medicinal properties and applications of various plants. Hoquart's detailed descriptions and illustrations provided valuable insights into the botanical characteristics and therapeutic uses of greater celandine. His work contributed to the understanding and appreciation of medicinal plants during a time when botanical medicine was a primary form of healthcare.

"Phytographie Medicale" by L.F.J. Hoquart remains a significant historical reference for those interested in the medicinal uses of plants. The inclusion of Celidonium Majus in this work highlights the plant's importance in traditional medicine and its continued relevance in the study of herbal remedies. Despite its potential benefits, modern usage of greater celandine should be approached with caution, and it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before using it for medicinal purposes.
