(2) In some parts of Somerset and Devon the 
name “ Bulrush ”’ is given to the Cemmon Rush, 
Juncus conglomeratus ; and it has been suggested 
that in this latter case the name is probably a 
corruption cf pool-rush, whilst in the. former 
case the name would probably be more correctly 
written ‘*‘ Bull-rush,”’ in the sense that the Typha 
is large, and the descriptive prefix, ‘‘ Bull ”’ (like 
that cf ‘‘ Hcrse’’), implies something larger than 
the ordinary. 
(3) A correspondent at Culmhead _ gives 
‘* Buliush ” as a lecal name for the Marsh Mari- 
gold, Caltha palustris. I learn from the Wilts 
Glossary that the Marsh Marigold is cecasionally 
called BULRUSHES in S.W. Wilts from some 
nursery legend that Moses was hidden among its 
large leaves. 
BUMBLE-BEE FLOWER. A_ correspondent at 
Luxborough gives this as a local name for the 
Red Dead Nettle, Lamium purpureum. See BEE 
NETTLE (2).

(Nerth Somerset and East Devon). 
_ BUMBLE-BERRY. (1) In North-West Wilts 
the Hip or fruit of the Dog-rose, Rosa canina.

BUMBLE-KiTEs. A popular name in som? 
parts of England for the Blackberry, Rubus 
fruticosus; mentioned by the Rev. Hilderic 
Friend, but I am not aware that it is used in 
Som-rset, although it is sent me by a correspondent 
at North Petherton. 
BUNCH 0’ DAISIES. Yarrow or Milfoil, Achillea 
Millefolium (Leigh, Dorset). 
HUNCH OF GRAPES. (1) A _ correspondent at 
Ilminster gives this as a leecal name for the Fox- 
glove, Digitalis purpurea. 
(2) Dr. R. C. Knight tells me the name is also 
applied to the unopened inflorescence of 
Ampelopsis Veitchii. 
Bunch oF Keys. (1) The Cowslip, Primula 
veris (Ilminster district). In East Devon some- 
times called Keys oF HEAVEN. An old name 
for the Cowslip is ‘‘ Herb of St. Peter,’’ and this 
Intter name wos probably suggested by the re- 
semblance of its flower-heads to a bunch of keys. 
_ (2) Furze or Gorse, Ulex europwus (Shos- 
combe). 
(3) The Ash, Fravxinus excelsior (Bradford-
