25.78 CHAP. 78.—PERISTEREOS: SIX REMEDIES.

The name of peristereos [Note] is given to a plant with a tall stem, covered with leaves, and throwing out other stems from the top. It is much sought by pigeons, to which circumstance it owes its name. Dogs will never bark, they say, at persons who have this plant about them.
