It does seem a waste of time to say Chrysanthemum leucanthemum instead of Whiteweed; though, if the long scientific name were an incantation to banish the intruder, our farmers would gladly consent to adopt it. But the great advantage of a reasonable use of the botanical name is, that it does not deceive us.
Various - The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 07, No. 42, April, 1861

Its smell has gained it the character of an excellent anti-hysteric; and this is the only use it is applied to. Tournefort recommends a spiritous tincture, others a decoction in water, and others a conserve of the leaves, as of wonderful efficacy in uterine disorders. CHRYSANTHEMUM Leucanthemum. OX-EYE DAISY. The Leaves.
William Salisbury - The Botanist's Companion, Volume II
