Thank you for your kind answer. I still don't know where I can find
references, besides Pliny and Dioscorides, on colchic, colchicum,
ephemerum, spalax or hermodactylus. Would you have any suggestion on the
subject ?

Sincerely,

André J. Fabre

I am interested by colchic use in traditional medicine. Where can I
find
references on the subject ?
Do a search on colchicine, which is what it is called in English. The
plant is
Colchicum, so you may find information there, also.
