Evo englenski prijevod vezano uz Chamaerops iz knjige Historia Plantarum, napisane između 350 i 287 godine prije Krista.
Nisam siguran ima li igdje i hrvatski prijevod.
^ The dwarf-palm, as it is called, is a distinct kind,
having nothing but its name ^ in common with other
palms. For if the head is removed, it survives,
and, if it is cut down, it shoots again from the
roots. It differs too in the fruit and leaves ; for
the leaf is broad and flexible, and so they weave
their baskets and mats out of it. It is common in
Crete and still more so in Sicily.^ However in
these matters we have said more than our purpose
required.
