32. The flower of long and round cyperus.) In the original Juncus quadratus et juncus rotundus. I shall not determine, whether what we now call cyperus longus, et rotundus, are the same as here mentioned. However, they certainly belong to the same class, and the virtues ascribed to the present, agree pretty nearly with those attributed to the ancient by Dioscorid. lib. i. cap. 4. and 16.—See also Dale and Schroder.
