I don't know where pennyroyal induces menstruation comes from, but:

Its action is carminative, diaphoretic, stimulant and emmenagogic

Meaning of DIAPHORETIC
1. [n] used to produce perspiration
2. [adj] inducing perspiration


emmenagogic means bringing on menstruation.. but i guess it could equally be 'sweating' or 'perspiration'

If it matters,

National Velvet was first published in 1935, copyright renewed 1953
Giant was first published in 1952, copyright renewed 1980

Noticed that the last book in each group is a 'classic' while the first two in each group are nonfiction guides.

ISBN puzzle

I'll throw out my spec here on the books puzzle. I think "Halfway Through the Hearing-Glass" connects with this puzzle, and that we have to do something to the six titles in the way that you change "Through the Looking-Glass" into "Halfway Through the Hearing Glass." So "Beauty" Might be "Ugliness," "Giant" might be "Midget," etc. Just a thought, but that's the angle I'm working.

I'll do you one better. The illustrations are from Köhler's Medizinal-Pflanzen in naturgetreuen Abbildungen mit kurz erläuterndem Texte : Atlas zur Pharmacopoea germanica, by Köhler, F. E. (Franz Eugen) Volume 1.

http://ridgwaydb.mobot.org/mobot/rarebooks/taxa.asp?relation=QK99A1K6318831914B1

Is an online group of scans from the book, and quick links to its info on the plants.

Unfortunately, there are no five-letter words starting with des_ _
(using eyebright to treat Sight, not Eyes.
The only smaller word to which we could apply the Y at the end would be desk, giving us "desky". Also a no go.

EDIT: (longshot:) desks? does pennroyal induce anything starting with a K?

On a similar note, the plant puzzle could be a ten-letter word.
I've got a college dictionary in front of me open to DE. And considering we KNOW that the last plant (madder) produces the color Red, we could have an identifier word, like desecrater or something else.

THINK!

Taking the first word of each title, starting from the middle of each group and going down, we get "London National Railroad" and "Barron's Giant Beauty." I'm just thinking out loud here.
