VIRGIL’S BOTANY: HERBS AND FLOWERS

HERBS AND FLOWERS

ecl. 4, 20

L’eleganza delle foglie dell’acanto ornerà la futura età dell’oro The Egyptian bean blended with the laughing briar ti darà in abbondanza il nelumbo misto al rigoglioso acanto. 

Acanthus mollis L. (Verona)

georg. 2, 151-152
la terra italica sarebbe esente da piante velenose come l’aconito
Here are no ravening tigers or savage brood of lion; no aconite deceives the wretch who picks it 
mancano invece le tigri rabbiose e la feroce razza dei leoni, né le piante di aconito ingannano gli sventurati raccoglitori.

Aconitum napellus L. Monte Baldo (TN)
