est etiam flos in pratis, cui nomen amello fecere agricolae, facilis quaerentibus herba; namque uno ingentem tollit de caespite silvam, aureus ipse, sed in foliis, quae plurima circum funduntur, violae sublucet purpura nigrae; saepe deum nexis ornatae torquibus arae; asper in ore sapor; tonsis in vallibus illum pastores et curva legunt prope flumina Mellae.
A flower, too, there is in the meadows, which farmers have called amellus, a plant easy for searchers to find, for from a single clump it lifts a vast growth. Golden is the disk, but in the petals, streaming profusely round, there is a crimson gleam amid the dark violet. Often with its woven garlands have the gods altars been decked; its flavour is bitter to the tongue; shepherds cull it in meadows cropped by the flock, and by Mellas winding streams.
