The Natural History of Pliny, Volume 4 (of 6)

Note 1454 — BOOK XX. REMEDIES DERIVED FROM THE GARDEN PLANTS.

John Bostock translation

Fée is inclined to identify the “limonium,” or “meadow-plant,” with the Statice limonium of Linnæus; but looks upon its identification as very doubtful. Fuchs, Tragus, and Lonicerus, have identified it with the Pyrola rotundifolia; but that is not a meadow plant, it growing only in the woods. Others, again, have suggested the Senecio doria, or “water trefoil.”
