AchillÆa millefolia (yarrow) and Achillea millefolium (milfoil) are both used for the same plant.
- Multi-page tables have been re-combined into single tables.
- Footnotes have been moved to directly under the text to which they refer. Illustrations and tables have been moved to before or after the paragraph in which they were printed in the original work.
- The differences in wording between the table of contents and the text have been left as in the original work because the meaning is clear.
