There is also another kind of cyclaminos, known by the additional name of "cissanthemos;" [Note] the stems of it, which are jointed, are good for nothing. It is altogether different from the preceding plant, and entwines around the trunks of trees. It bears a berry similar to that of the ivy, but soft; and the flower is white and pleasing to the sight. The root is never used. The berries are the only part of it in use, being of an
acrid, viscous taste. They are dried in the shade, after which they are pounded and divided into lozenges.
