[602] Or “mule-plant.” It is identified by Fée with the Asplenion ceterach, or Ceterach officinarum of Linnæus, the Ceterach, a fern, and a different plant from the Teucrium of B. xxiv. c. 80, or Germander.
[603] Hence its name, “Asplenium.”
[604] “Exinanisse.” A fable, of course.
[605] The Teuerium lucidum of Linnæus: though, as Fée says, there is little similarity between it and hyssop, or between its leaves and those of the bean. See B. xxiv. c. [80].
[606] Identified by Fée with the Veratrum album and Veratrum nigrum of Linnæus, species between which there is little difference.
[607] Identified by Tournefort with the Helleborus niger of Lamarck. Littré mentions the Helleborus orientalis of Linnæus.
[608] The stem of white hellebore is much longer than this.
[609] This comparison with the onion, Fée says, is altogether inexact.
[610] If he would imply that they do this without inconvenience, the statement, Fée says, is incorrect.
[611] “Cut off,” and “With many roots.”
