He told me the name of the plant which I cant remember at the moment. Rhododendron ponticum. Pontus was an ancient kingdom in Asia Minor. The first military historian, Xenophon tells how in about 400BC a retreating Greek mercenary army left 'presents' of this honey for their Persian pursuers who pigged out on it and suffered as a result, giving the Greeks time to make good their escape. Yet another example supporting the adage that one should "beware of Greeks bearing gifts."
