Note 1516 — BOOK XX. REMEDIES DERIVED FROM THE GARDEN PLANTS.
John Bostock translation
See B. xxi. c. 86: this is the Melissa officinalis of Linnæus, or balm-gentle, from which the bees gather honey, quite a different plant to apiastrum or wild parsley. The Sardinian plant here mentioned, is probably the same as the Ranunculus, mentioned in B. xxv. c. 109, where its identification will be further discussed.
