Lysimachia[1] imparts a blonde tint[2] to the hair, and the hypericon,[3] otherwise called "corisson," makes it black. The same too, with ophrys,[4] a plant with indentations, which re sembles the cabbage, but has only two leaves. Polemonia,[5] too, boiled in oil, imparts blackness to the hair.

As for depilatories, I reckon them in the number of cosmetics, fit for women only, though men use them now-a-days. For this purpose archezostis[6] is looked upon as highly efficacious, as also juice of tithymalos,[7] applied with oil every now and then in the sun, or after pulling out the hairs. Hyssop, applied with oil, heals itch-scab in beasts, and side- citis[8] is particularly useful for quinzy in swine.

But let us now turn to the remaining plants of which we have to speak.
