Notes on the current edition

Enquiry into Plants

1. 1 Plin. 16. 85.
2. 2 καὶ τοῦ κιττοῦ καὶ τοῦ MSS. cf. Plin. l.c ; Diosc. 4. 164. καὶ τοῦ κικίου τοῦ καὶ conj. W.: Galen, Lex. Hipp., gives κίκιον as a name for the root of κρότων. cf. C. P. 2. 16. 4.
3. ³ i.e. not ‘entire.’ ‘Young leaves’ = cleaves of the young tree.
4. 4 This seems to contradict what has just been said.
5. τὰ ἄρθρα add. Sch. from Plin. 16. 88, incisuras. cf. Arist H.A. 1. 15, where Plin. (11. 274) renders ἄρθρα incisuras.
6. ¹ cf. 1. 8. 3; 1. 10. 8; Plin. 16. 92.
7. 2 ἐκ θατέρου δ᾿ εἰς conj. Sch. from G ; δὲ ἐκ θατέρου εἰς with stop at ἰνῶν Ald. ³ δι᾿ οὗ Ι conj.; δ᾿ ὦν U.
8. 4 ἀκανθόφυλλα conj. W.; σπανόφυλλα UM Ald.; ἀνόφυλλα P2; cf. 3. 9. 5, whence Sch. conj. τριχόφυλλα: Plin. l.c. has capillata pino cedro.
9. 5 μηλέα probably corrupt; omitted by Plin. l.c.
10. 1 Plin. l.c. and 13. 30. ² οὗ ἐν conj. W.: ὅθεν Ald. H.
11. ² παρακανθίζοντα conj. Sch.; παραγωνίζοντα UMV Ald.
12. ⁴ τὰ δὲ σχιστὰ add. W.
13. 1 Plin. 16. 91. ² ἐπὶ conj. W.; ἡ Ald. H.
14. ³ ἐνίων. . . εἰκός. So Sch. explains: text probably defective.
15. ¹ τῶν ἄλλων ἦν MSS.; τῶν ποιωδῶν conj. W. ἦν, at all events, cannot be right. ² Plin. 19. 100.
16. 3 ἢ στενότητι ἢ κοιλότητι : so G ; ἢ κοιλότητι ἢ στενότητι MSS. ⁴ i. e. petiolate. 5 i. e. sessile.
17. 6 i. e. compound: εἰ δὴ conj. W.; εἴδη UMV Ald.
18. 7 The passage from here to the end of the chapter is a digression.
