Plin. Nat. Hist. 21,90

My browser suggests that I already consulted that chapter yesterday, but I can't see anything about carthamus or cnicon there.  

It runs:

The hemerocalles has a soft, pale green leaf, with an odo- riferous, bulbous root. This root, applied with honey to the abdomen, draws off the aqueous humours and all corrupt blood. The leaves of it are applied for defluxions of the eyes, and for pains in the mamillæ, after childbirth.

Hemerocalles is not carthamus.
