[2028] Or Vitis alba, “white vine,” the Bryonia dioica of modern botany. See B. xxiii. c. [16].
[2029] The Spiræa salicifolia of Linnæus, or meadowsweet.
[2030] See B. xx. c. 67, and c. [30] of this Book.
[2031] The Daphne Cnidium of Linnæus. See B. xxiii. c. [35]; also B. xii. c. 43. It is altogether different from the Laurus cassia, or genuine cassia.
[2034] “Sertula Camapana.”
[2035] Most probably, Fée thinks, the Trifolium Melilotus officinalis, a clover, or trefoil.
[2036] The Psoranthea bituminosa of Linnæus. It is found on declivities near the sea-coast, in the south of Europe.
[2037] “Pointed trefoil.” Pliny has probably committed an error here, as Dioscorides makes oxyphyllum, minyanthes, and asphaltium to be different names of the same variety. Sprengel, however, identifies this pointed trefoil with the Trifolium Italicum of Linnæus.
