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

Note 1789 — BOOK XXVII. A DESCRIPTION OF PLANTS, AND OF THE REMEDIES DERIVED FROM THEM.

John Bostock translation

This account of its medicinal properties applies properly to the Symphytum officinale, or Great comfrey, a plant which would appear to have been confounded by Pliny with the Alum, if Fée is right in his conjecture.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
