Yes, I know, but you are turning the "p" into a "t" (the abbreviation for Christi is "xti") and the label not a "t", plus the last letter with the swooped tail on the "u" is a very common ending for "-um" and the plant name directly after it (Umblicus veneris) is a two-name designation (as in most botanical names), so it's quite possible the first one is, as well, in which case it's Creux crispum which is completely acceptable as a plant name.
Never mind, I just checked (I should have known this), xpi is also a common abbreviation for Christi. You are correct in that it can be interpreted that way. It may also be crispum, in line with the name that follows it.
Well, if it's Solomon's seal, then it's no relation to Paris. I still think it's possible these may be part of a remedy.
