There is a plant very similar in appearance to verbascum, [Note] so much so, indeed, as to be frequently gathered for it by mistake. The leaves, [Note] however, are not so white, the stems are more numerous, and the flower is of a yellow colour. Thrown upon the ground, this plant attracts black beetles [Note] to it, whence its Roman appellation "blattaria."
