Bast and Fibrous Plants. 
Tablet 18 {h, c, and d). — Flax seeds {Linum angusHfoliuni), 
Robenhausen. 
The flax of the lake-dwellers is not the common flax. The 
small-leaved flax {Linu7?i angustifolium), which is a native of the 
countries of the Mediterranean, maybe considered as the original 
stock of the cultivated flax of the lake-dwellers. The presence 
of the Cretan catchfly proves that the flax-seed came, originally, 
from Southern Europe. 
See Plate Ixxxviii., Case K 4, for figures of fibrous plants 
found in the pfahlbauten.
