Note 92 — BOOK XXIV. THE REMEDIES DERIVED FROM THE FOREST TREES.
John Bostock translation
An Euphorbia with a ligneous stem, the Euphorbia pityusa of Linnæus. The characteristics of it differ, however, from the description here given by Pliny. It is no longer used in medicine, though, like the other Euphorbiaceæ, it has very active properties.
