We have explained that name as only one out of countless similar appellations which men of every race give to the stars.
It must indeed be granted that this diversity in the names of cultivated plants, which so strongly contrasts with the essential agreement in the appellations of domestic animals, does not absolutely preclude the supposition of a common original agriculture.
