Perforata, satyrion or orchis, devil’s-bit, cinquefoil, liverwort, and heliotrope belong to the list of names drawn from inborn powers or visible form. Satyrion and orchis are explicitly paired. Individual explanations are deferred elsewhere; this catalogue alone does not establish exact modern species, a complete resemblance theory, or a particular treatment claim for each named plant.
