Latin Texts & Translations

To this plant we may also annex an account of the cynoglossos, ^[Note] the leaf of which resembles a dog's tongue, and which produces so pleasing an effect ^[Note] in ornamental gardening. The root, it is said, of the kind which bears three ^[Note] stems surmounted with seed, is very useful, taken in water, for tertian, and of that with four stems, for quartan, fevers.

There is another plant ^[Note] very similar to it, which bears diminutive burrs resembling those of the lappa: ^[Note] the root of it, taken in water, is curative of wounds inflicted by frogs ^[Note] or serpents.
