Notes on the current edition

Enquiry into Plants

1. 1 παχύτερον conj. W.; πλατύτερον Ald.
2. ² Plin. 16. 48 and 49. ³ For the tense see Intr. p. XX.
3. 4 φύλλον, i.e. the leafy shoot. Sch. considers φύλλον to be corrupt, and refers the following description to the cone; W marks a lacuna after φύλλον. Pliny, ι.c., seems to have read φύλλον, but does not render καὶ ἐπ᾿ ἔλαττον . . . κυνέαις. The words καὶ ἐπ᾿ ἔλαττον can hardly be sound as they stand. For the description of the foliage cf. 1. 10. 5.
