Note 1160 — BOOK XIV. THE NATURAL HISTORY OF THE FRUIT TREES.
John Bostock translation
Hardouin says that in his time it was still cultivated about Macerata, in the Roman States. Fée thinks that it may be one of the climbing vines, supported by forks, cultivated in the central provinces of France. See also B. xxiii. c. 19, as to the effects produced by its wine.
