The Natural History of Pliny, Volume 5 (of 6)

Note 691 — BOOK XXV. THE NATURAL HISTORY OF THE WILD PLANTS.

John Bostock translation

Sprengel and Desfontaines identify it with the Anthemis valentina of Linnæus, the Purple-stalked camomile; but Fée agrees with Sibthorp in considering it to be the Chrysanthemum segetum of Linnæus, the Corn marigold, the former not being, apparently, a native of Greece. Littré gives the Chrysanthemum coronarium of Linnæus, the Garland chrysanthemum.
