ἡ δὲ ἀγρία γογγύλη φύεται ἐν ἀρούραις, θάμνος πηχυαῖος 2 τὸ ὕψος, πολύκλαδος, ἐξ ἄκρου λεῖος, φύλλα ἔχων λεῖα, ῥίζαν μεγάλου δακτύλου τὸ πάχος ἢ καὶ μείζονα, καρπὸν δὲ ἐν λοβοῖς καλυκώδεσιν· ἀνοιχθέντων δὲ τῶν περικαρπίων ἔσωθεν ἄλλος κεφαλοειδής ἐστι λοβός, ἐν ᾧ σπερμάτια μέλανα, θλασθέντα δὲ λευκὰ ἔνδοθεν. μείγνυται δὲ σμήγμασι προσώπου καὶ τοῦ ἄλλου χρωτός, ὅσα διʼ ἀλεύρων γίνεται θερμίνων ἢ πυρίνων ἢ ἐρεγμίνων ἢ ἀροβίνων.
