Historical Definition
Haro is a kind of fern.
Meaning
The dictionary supplies a broad botanical group but no features distinguishing the kind. It gives no part, habitat, preparation or medical action. The definition supports recognition of the general category while leaving a more precise identification open.
Use in the Book
Fædula is similarly described only as a kind of mushroom, whereas Calliette includes colour and habitat. That contrast shows how different levels of descriptive detail occur in the dictionary. Haro has no equivalent detail from which to infer a particular modern species.
Places to Read
Calliette. A fungal-looking growth identified by colour and host.
Fædula. An unspecified kind of mushroom.
