The title of an elegiac poem in 182 lines often ascribed to Ovid, and probably of a date not much later than that poet. It voices the complaint of a nut-tree concerning ill-treatment and the degeneracy of the times. It is based upon a poem in the Greek anthology (Anthol. Palat. ix. 3), and is written in an ornate but graceful style. It is edited with a commentary by Lindemann (Zittan, 1844); critical text in Bährens, Poetae Lat. Minores, i. 90 (Leipzig, 1886).
