Not a published name for any plant species. This is the name of a homeopathic preparation that is maybe prepared from Zea mays (maize/corn), according to this homeopathic vendor, but a homeopathic wiki lists it as being prepared from Setaria italica. The homeopathic preparation doesn't seem to be notable and it's not clear which plant is used to prepare the homeopathic remedy (if a plant is used at all; this vendor claims to be making homeopathic remedies from a archetype/mathematical model, which is a new one to me, although I suppose that doesn't make much difference in terms of the number of plant derived molecules present in the preparation).

Delete. Fails GNG, NSPECIES, and completely lacks references. SilverTiger12 (talk) 17:05, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Except for mention in some homeopathy books, there are no references. Homeopathy books are not reliable sources. See Talk:Homeopathy - Q.4. at the top of the page makes it clear that Wikipedia views homeopathy to be a fringe science per the Wikipedia:Fringe theories guideline. There have been ArbCom cases on pseudoscience in general and homeopathy in particular that also confirm this.--A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 00:42, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
