'As regards vermicidal plants, some are known as 'spell plants' (ervi di lu scunciùru) whose therapeutic effect is due not only to their main active ingredient but also to the value attributed to those plants by popular belief. It has been said that: "Sometimes it is not God or a Saint whose help is asked for to fight worms (but) a medicinal plant" [12]. '

: I don't think there is such term as 'incantation plants'. Then regarding 'incantation', see here:in·can·ta·tion n. 1. Ritual recitation of verbal charms or spells to produce a magic effect.2. a.A formula used in ritual recitation; a verbal charm or spell.
