The Greeks give the name bulbine [Note] to a plant with leaves resembling those of the leek, and a red bulbous root. This plant, it is said, is marvellously good for wounds, but only when they are of recent date. The bulbous plant known as the "emetic" bulb, [Note] from the effects which it produces, has dark leaves, [Note] and longer than those of the other kinds.
