1 "Most excellent for pregnancy."
2 See B. xxvi. c. 56.
3 Identified by Fée with the Aristolochia rotunda of Linnæus, Rounded birthwort, a native of the south of France and the southern parts of Europe. Littré gives the Aristolochia pallida of Willdenow.
4 Most probably the Aristolochia longa of Linnæus, found in France, Spain, Portugal, and Italy. Littré gives as its synonym the Aristolochia parvifolia of Sibthorp.
5 The Aristolochia clematis of Linnæus, almost identical with the Aristolochia Cretica and Bætica.
6 The Aristolochia plistolochia of Linnæus, the Spanish branching stemmed birthwort. Fée thinks that these identifications, though probable enough, are not altogether satisfactory, and that the Greeks may have made these distinctions between varieties of the plant comparatively unknown to the rest of Europe. They are no longer held in any esteem for their medicinal properties.
7 See B. xxvi. c. 91.
8 "With many roots."
9 See B. xxvi. c. 62.
