51 λιγυστικόν· φύεται μὲν πλεῖστον ἐν Λιγυρίᾳ, ὅθεν καὶ τὴν ὀνομασίαν ἔσχηκεν, ἐν τῳ καλουμένῳ Ἀπεννίνῳ· ὄρος δέ ἐστιν ὁμοροῦν ταῖς Ἀλπεσι. πάνακες δὲ αὐτὲ καλοῦσιν οἱ ἐπιχώριοι οὐκ ἀλόγως, ἐπεὶ ἡ ῥίζα [καὶ ὁ καυλὸς] ἔοικε τῇ τοῦ Ἡρακλεωτικοῦ πάνακος καὶ ἡ δύναμις ὁμοία καθέστηκε. φύεται δὲ ἐν τοῖς ὑψηλοτάτοις καὶ τραχυτέροις καὶ συσκίοις ὄρεσι, μάλιστα δὲ παρὰ τοῖς ῥύαξι.
