Attestations from sources in English:
The medicinatl plant texochiatl or texochitl (said to be the same plant in the Florentine Codex), is described as: = "It has scales, many scales. It is a medicine, potable; from it water can be extracted. It is cooling; it is a means of cooling. It cools things; it cures, it cools one." A beautiful painting of it appears in the Digital Florentine Codex, Book 11, f. 141v. https://florentinecodex.getty.edu/book/11/folio/141v/images/76c72961-104...
