Alexander Cornelius has called a tree by the name of
"eon,"[1] with the wood of which, he says, the ship Argo was
built. This tree has on it a mistletoe similar to that of the
oak, which is proof against all injury from either fire or water,
in the same manner, in fact, as that of no other tree known.
This tree, however, appears to have been known to no other
author, that I am aware of.
1. Or eonis. Fée suggests that in this story, which probably belongs
to the region of Fable, some kind of oak may possibly be alluded to.
