2 ἄκορον τὰ μὲν φύλλα ἔχει ἐμφερῆ ἴριδι, στενότερα δέ, καὶ τὰς ῥίζας δὲ οὐκ ἀνομοίους, διαπεπλεγμένας δὲ καὶ οὐκ εἰς εὐθὺ πεφυκυίας, ἀλλὰ πλαγίας καὶ ἐξ ἐπιπολῆς, γόνασι διειλημμένας, ὑπολεύκους, δριμείας δὲ τῇ γεύσει καὶ τῇ ὀσμῇ οὐκ ἀηδεῖς. διαφέρει δὲ τὸ πυκνὸν καὶ λευκὸν ἄβρωτόν τε καὶ πλῆρες εὐωδίας. τοιοῦτο δέ ἐστι τὸ ἐν Κολχίδι καὶ τὸ ἐκ τῆς Γαλατίας δὲ ἄσπληνον λεγόμενον.
