They say also a very good fire-stick is made of the wood which some call traveller's joy; this is a tree like the vine or the 'wild wine,' which, like these, climbs up trees.

Among roses there are many differences, in the number of petals, in roughness, in beauty of colour, and in sweetness of scent. Most have five petals, but some have twelve or twenty, and some a great many more than these ; for there are some, they say, which are even called 'hundred-petalled.' Most of such roses grow near Philippi ; for the people of that place get them on Mount Pangaeus, where they are abundant, and plant them. However the inner petals are very small, (the way in which they are produced being such that some are outside, some inside). Some kinds are not fragrant nor of large size. Among those which have large flowers those in which the part below the flower is rough are the more fragrant. In general, as has been said, good colour and scent depend upon locality ; for even bushes which are growing in the same soil shew some variation in the presence or absence of a sweet scent. Sweetest scented of all are the roses of Cyrene, wherefore the perfume made from these is the sweetest.

On the other hand the following ideas may be considered far-fetched and irrelevant ; for instance they say that the peony, which some call glykyside, should be dug up at night, for, if a man does it in the day-time and is observed by a woodpecker while he is gathering the fruit, he risks the loss of his eyesight ; and, if he is cutting the root at the time, he gets prolapsus ani.

The rose comes last of these [narcissus, anemone, etc], and is the first of the spring flowers to come to an end, as it is the first to appear, for its time of blooming is short.

The 'dog's bramble' (wild rose) has a reddish fruit, like that of the pomegranate; and, like the pomegranate, it is intermediate between a shrub and a tree; but the leaf is spinous.

The  majority of flowers have the fruit-case in the middle of them, or, it may be, the flower is on the top of the fruit-case, as in pomegranate apple pear plum  and myrtle, and among under-shrubs, in the rose  and in many of the coronary plants. For these have their seeds below, beneath the flower, and this is most obvious in the rose because of the size of the seed-vessel.

Spineless under-shrubs and their differences...Of rock-rose [κίσθον] they  distinguish two kinds, ' male ' and ' female' in that the one is larger, tougher, more glossy, and has a crimson flower ; both however are like the wild rose, save that the flower is smaller and scentless.
