Theophrastus Enquiry into Plants 1.3.3

1. ¹ θάμνος . . . πήγανον. W. ’S text transposes, without alteration, the definitions of θάμνος and φρύγανον as given in U. φρύγανον δὲ τὸ ὰπὸ ῥίζης καὶ πολυστέλεχες καὶ πολύκλαδον οἷον βάτος παλίουρος, Ald. So also M, but with a lacuna marked before φρύγανον and a note that the definition of θάμνος is wanting. φρύγανον δὲ τὸ ἀπὸ ῥίζης καὶ πολυστέλεχες καὶ πολύκλαδον οἷον καὶ γάμβοη καὶ πήγανον. θάμνος δὲ ἀπὸ ῥίξης πολύκλαδον οἷον βάτος παλίουρος U. So also very nearly P1P2. G gives to θάμνος (frutex) the definition assigned in U to φρύγανον (suffrutex) and the other definition is wanting.
