Rye
Rye as a plant people have named and used. Dark bread, hard field, northern grain — one living kind, not a single symbol.
Rye is used in Medicine.
Cooley’s Cyclopædia of Practical Receipts seats Rye among the tools, materials, or practices of medical and pharmacy use. Rye used in that craft path, not a bare synonym for medicine and not a modern brand SKU dump.
