A quote for Bora

Is the plant [Thalictrum lucidum] sufficiently distinct from T. flavum? It seems to me a daughter of time. [Planta, an satis distincta, a T. flavo? Videtur temporis filia. Species plantarum 1753]

"The Daughter of Time" (Josephine Tey)" was also the title of a wonderful detective story.

My new motto: Videtur temporis filia...
