[712] “Pastinaca erratica.” See c. 64 of this Book.
[713] Identified with the Ranunculus ficaria of Linnæus, the Pilewort, or Lesser celandine.
[714] The same is the case, Fée remarks, with numbers of other plants.
[715] “Collyriis.”
[716] The Dactylos of B. xxiv. c. 119, is supposed to be the plant alluded to. The word “canariam” is found here in former editions, but Sillig omits it. Indeed Pliny seems to say that it is quite unknown to him.
[717] In B. xxii. c. 37.
[718] From the Greek ἕλκω, “to draw.”
[719] In B. viii. c. 41.
[720] The Origanum dictamnus of Linnæus, Dittany of Candia.
[721] This is an error: it grows, and doubtless did in Pliny’s time, in numerous other places; but that of Mount Ida in Crete was held in the highest esteem.
