  Galega officinalis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Galega officinalis (also known as Goat's rue, French lilac, Italian fitch or Professor-weed) is a plant from the Galega genus of the Faboideae.
Its name derives from gale (milk) and ega (to bring on), as Galega has been used as a galactologue in small domestic animals (hence the name "Goat's rue").
The Galega officinalis has been known since the Middle Ages for relieving the symptoms of diabetes mellitus.

 Invasive Plants of the Eastern United States
Galega officinalis has been variously called French lilac, goat's rue, goatsrue, and professor weed, with goatsrue being the name accepted by the Federal Noxious Weed Act.
Because of its adaptation to acid soil, Galega officinalis was at one time considered to be a plant of considerable promise as a forage and green manure crop in southern Europe.
The seeds of Galega officinalis are transversely oblong with raised lens and micropylar region and with an oblique furrow on each face near the lens, 3-4.5 mm long X 1-1.5 mm in diameter, reddish brown to dark brown, with the embryo clearly apparent.

 Galega Officinalis: An Adventure in Plant Nauralization
Morris Arboretum Bulletin, Vol 15, 1964 The article, "Galega Officinalis: A Weed New to the Arboretum", by Dr. John M. Fogg, Jr., in the Morris Arboretum Bulletin for March, 1964, was read by the writer with the keenest interest.
This was within 100 ft. of the second colony of Galega officinalis discovered in July of 1963 by Dr. Fogg along the west ditch of Stenton Avenue (3).
However, a number of plants continued to be mingled with others in the upper portion of the rivulet - with some established in the re-directed lower portion - as well as in the joined stream passing through the Arboretum on the west side of Stenton Avenue; evidencing the permanence of the colony's establishment.

 Appeal of H.E. Docket No. 4/232 -- TYLER PHARMACAL DISTRIBUTORS, INC.
Without ruling on the specific findings and exceptions thereto, it is sufficient to say that the advertisement which was appended to the complaint and upon which the complainant based his case is probably one of the most guarded advertisements for a cosmetic that could be devised.
However, he did testify that the glands of the breast were affected by galega and that he had observed the flow of milk from the breasts.
The most that the complainant proved was that there were no known authorities for the proposition that galega will accomplish the purposes for which the respondent claimed and the only thing known about galega is that it is not effective as a galactalogue based upon experiments upon goats and dogs.

 Appeal of P.S. Docket No. 1/32 -- MAMILAB PRODUCTS, INC.,
According to Dr. Cordaro's uncontradicted and credited testimony, Galega (which is an herb) has no value and is of no benefit in improving or increasing the size or firmness of the breast or bustline.
They refer only to Galega's purported usefulness in increasing lactation in cows, and there is no reference to its ability to increase the size of the breast.
Moreover, they indicate that the view that Galega is able to increase lactation, based on the claims of a French scientist in the 19th century, had been disproved as far back as 1917 in tests conducted by American scientists (CX 10, 11).

In Estonian trials, averaged over seven years, 7.76-9.18 t/ha with 70-80% galega from pure-sown stands and 8.41-9.33 t/ha with 63% galega from five grass/galega mixtures (Loid et al., l994); late first cutting gave a small yield advantage over early first cutting in the two cuts per annum regime imposed.
Heavy wilting and an effective silage additive is advisable when ensiling pure-sown galega because of its high protein–low water– soluble carbohydrate characteristic and high buffering capacity (Pahlow et al., 2000).
Grass/galega mixtures have better ensilability characteristics than pure-sown galega stands because of the grass characteristics.
