hepatic

hepatic
1. noun /hɛˈpætɪk/
a) Any compound that acts on the liver.

There is now such an immense "microliterature" on hepatics that, beyond a certain point I have given up trying to integrate (and evaluate) every minor paper published—especially narrowly floristic papers.

b) A liverwort (kind of plant)
2. adjective /hɛˈpætɪk/
a) Of or relating to the liver.
b) Acting on or occurring in the liver.
