Description
|
: |
Two plants: Top plant, a vine curved in sideways "U", "ynantes" (family Umbelliferae) Oenanthe sp. (Belder-root, Bendock, Biller, Water Dropwort) perhaps O. Phellandrium (Edgeweed, Water Fennel) bearing seven-lobed, apparently opposite leaves with small flwers apperaing internodally. Bottom plant, "narciscus" (family Amaryllidaceae, sometimes included in the Liliaceae) probably Narcissus sp., perhaps N. poeticus (Poet's Narcissus, Pheasant's Eye) a bulb at bottom, producing eight long basal leaves, and, at the top of a central scape, five daisy-like, the central one fully open. (Cf. Corpus medicorum Latinorum, v. 4, p. 106-107.) Adjacent text: Herbarium Apuleii.
