[92] An Euphorbia with a ligneous stem, the Euphorbia pityusa of Linnæus. The characteristics of it differ, however, from the description here given by Pliny. It is no longer used in medicine, though, like the other Euphorbiaceæ, it has very active properties.
[93] This, Fée says, is consistent with truth.
[94] In B. xiv. c. 25.
[95] B. xvi. cc. 16, 21, 22, 23.
[96] Or, as they are called at the present day, the resins, and the oleoresins, or terebinthines.
[97] Fée thinks that this name extends to the numerous species of resiniferous trees.
[98] The Abies excelsa of Linnæus.
[99] The Pistacia terebinthus; see B. xiii. c. 12. It yields a valuable turpentine, known in commerce as that of Cyprus or Chios.
[100] The so-called Venice turpentine is extracted from the larch.
[101] It yields mastich solely, a solid resin.
