CHAP. 45.—THE TITHYMALOS DENDROÏDES, COBIOS, OR LEPTO- PHYLLOS: EIGHTEEN REMEDIES.

The seventh kind has the additional name of "dendroïdes,"1 and is known by some persons as "cobios," and by others as "leptophyllos."2 It grows among rocks, and is by far the most shrubby of all the varieties of the tithymalos. The stems of it are small and red, and the seed is remarkably abun- dant. Its properties are the same as those of the characias.3

1 "Tree-like"

2 "Small-leaved." The Euphorbia dendroïdes of Linnæus, the Shrubby spurge.

3 See c. 39 above.
