Lysimachia1640 imparts a blonde tint1641 to the hair, and the hypericon,1642 otherwise called “corisson,” makes it black. The same too, with ophrys,1643 a plant with indentations, which resembles the cabbage, but has only two leaves. Polemonia,1644 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 archezostis1645 is looked upon as highly efficacious, as also juice of tithymalos,1646 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 sideritis1647 is particularly useful for quinzy in swine.

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