What reading level is The Trees Shrubs And Plants of Virgil book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
140), and some eight times of a musical pipe. Virgil can hardly have failed to know the sweet flag, which grows on the Mincio as a native, and seems to have been imported for cultivation across the Apennines.
Caltha, or Calta.
' mollia luteola pingit vaccinia caltha ' (Ec. Ii. 50).
By a mistake Linnaeus gave this name to the marsh marigold, which, though a native of Italy, 24 Caltha, or Calta cannot be Virgil's plant. Corydon's nosegay, of which it forms a part, could hardly be gathered at any ...one season, and gives us no guide to the flower- ing time of our plant. Not much is said of ' caltha ' by our early authorities. For Virgil's epithet Colu- mella substitutes flammeola, with a reference to the fiery orange tint of the bridal veil. From Pliny we learn that our plant had a strong scent, both in the leaves and in the blossom. All this points to the common pot marigold (Calendula officinalis), an African, brought early into cultivation for its use in condiments. The yellow ray flowers are still used in soups, and the plant has naturalized itself here and there both in Italy and in England.
