Shared Vocabulary:

It's interesting how many words are shared in common between the three languages: 'Mediterranean', 'feature/characteristic', 'plant', and 'aquatic'.

Different Versions:

This book is mentioned at two places in Book 4 and has two different titles in English: Magical Water Plants of the Mediterranean and Magical Mediterranean Water Plants and Their Properties. Only Japanese faithfully reproduces the difference. The other translators use Magical Mediterranean Water Plants and Their Properties as the basis for translation at both places.
