He whakaahua mō Lepidium oleraceum, e whakaatu ana i ōna rau mōhinuhinu me ngā pūtoi pūawai mā. I whakamahia te Nau, tētahi ingoa ko Scurvy Grass (Lepidium oleraceum) e ngā heremana kaipuke peka mai ki Aotearoa i ngā rau tau 1700–1800, hei ārai i te mate hapa huaora C. I tino whakamoemiti ngā kaumoana mō ōna āhuatanga rongoā i te mate.
Nā Peter de Lange te whakaahua.
A photograph of Lepidium oleraceum, showing its shiny green leaves and bunches of small white flowers. Nau or Scurvy Grass (Lepidium oleraceum) was used by ship crews visiting Aotearoa New Zealand, in the 1700–1800s, to help prevent scurvy. The crew were grateful for its medicinal purposes.
