Lappago ^[Note] is employed also for this disease; a plant similar to the anagallis, ^[Note] were it not that it is more branchy,

bristling with a greater number of leaves, covered with rugosities, full of a more acrid juice, and possessed of a powerful smell. The kind that resembles anagallis most closely, is known as mollugo. ^[Note] Asperugo ^[Note] is a similar plant, only with a more prickly leaf. The juice of the first is taken daily, in doses of one denarius, in two cyathi of wine.
