Note 2877 — BOOK XXIII. THE REMEDIES DERIVED FROM THE CULTIVATED TREES.
John Bostock translation
“Ampelos agria.” Fée observes, that this Chapter is full of errors, Pliny beginning by speaking of the wild vine, the variety Labrusca of the Vitis vinifera of Linnæus, and then proceeding to describe what is really the Bryonia dioica of modern botany, and applying its characteristics to the wild vine, or labrusca.
