JOY OF THE MOUNTAIN. Mrs. Day, of North 
Petherton, gives me this as a local name for the 
Marjoram, Origanum vulgare. 
JUBILEE HunrerR. The Dewberry, Rubus 
caesius (N.W. Wilts), 
JupAsS TREE. (1) The usual English name 
for Cercis siliquastrum. Mr. Elworthy says: 
‘* This tree, and not the elder, seems most widely 
traditional, as that on which Judas hanged 
himself. Hlders, in this country at least, would 
hardly be suitable in size or strength for the 
purpose. 
(2) A correspondent at Martock gives it as a 
local name for the Tulip-tree, Liriodendron 
tulipifera. Probably due to a confusion of names, 
JUNE FLOWER. Wild Beaked Parsley, Anthris- 
cus sylvestris (Brompton Regis). 
JUNETIN. See JENNET. I am indebted to 
Mr. T. W. Cowan, F.L.S., for the following 
intere ting note :—Junetin (i.e., Apple of June) 
seems to be corrupted from geniting, given by 
Bailey as ‘‘a sort of apple.’’ Kettner, Book of the 
Table, spells it joanneting. The name reminds us 
of the old custom of naming fruits and flowers 
from the festivals of the Church nearest to which 
they ripened or bloomed. June-eating or St. 
John’s apple makes its appearance about Mid- 
summer Day, or the feast of St. John Baptist. 
JUPITER’S BEARD. (1) The Houseleek, Sem- 
pervivum tectorum. 
(2) Rev. Hilderic Friend says ‘‘ The Anthyllis - 
or Silver-bush, is commonly called Jupiter’s 
Beard, both in England and Germany.” It is 
also known as JOVE’s BEARD ; the botanical*name 
is Anthyllis Barba-Jovis. 
JUPITER'S STAFF. An old name for the Great 
Mullein, Verbascum Thapsus. 
KaAmics or KAMMICK. The Rest-harrow, Ononis 
repens. 
KEARN. Seed that is beginning to form or 
set. Also used asa verb. ‘‘ The wheat is kearning 
up airly ’ (Mr. F. W. Mathews). 
KECKER, KeEcKs, or Kkrcksy. The dried 
hollow stalk of the Cow Parsnip, Heracleum 
Sphondyliim. Also applied to any dried hollow 
stalks as Hemlock, Chervil, &c. See Grx. 
KEDLACK, KEDLOCK, or KETLOCK. Charlock or 
Wild Mustard, Brassica arvensis. Dr. Watson 
writes me :—‘‘ Ketlock is a fairly general name. 
In the N. of England, where the old practice of 
rush-carts (a survival of the time when rushes 
were carried for carpeting the unflagged floors of 
the church) is kept up, the body of the rush 
structure is filled in with ketlocks, chiefly Senecio 
Jacobeea.”
