Matching Plant Images Internally

Why should I pay attention to Barchius' writing? He lived 200 years after the VM was written. He was even more clueless than we are today. Today we have the internet. I can examine hundreds of books. If Barchius managed to write 10 medical books, that is certainly remarkable.
Many plants in folk medicine are named after what they were used for. Take toothroot, for example. The word “denta” already says a lot. The correspondence says the rest. Most of them grow on my doorstep.
For me, the idea of fantasy plants and the Far East already belongs in the category of folk tales.
