Mo.ty. Correspondents at Compton (near 
Yeovil) and Stockland (Devon) give me this as 
a local aame for the Wild Garlic or Ramsons, 
Allium ursinum. The common nam: in some 
parts for Allium Moly. _ 
Dr. Prior says MOLy is the name ofa plant in 
Homer’s Odyssey, and occasionally introduced 
into modern poetry as in Milton’s Comus. p. 636, 
but not identified with any known species; the 
Encyclopedic Dictionary, however, states Homer’s 
Mozy is Allium magicum. 
Mo NEY. (1) Yellow Rattle, Rhinanthus 
Crista-galli (Snoscombe). _ 
(2) Honesty, Lunaria biennis (West Somerset 
and East Devon). 
MoNEY BaAGs. Common Shepherd’s Purse. 
Capsella Bursa-pastoris, of which Anne Pratt 
says: ‘‘Its numerous flat seed-pouches charac- 
terise the plant; and they are sufficiently like 
a rustic flat leather purse to have obtained for it 
not only its English name, but the synonyms by 
which it is known in country places almost through- 
out Europe.” The mediaeval purse, which hung 
from the girdle, was shaped just like the fruit of 
this plant. 
Money Box. Two school-girls at Horton give 
me this as a local name for the Figwort, Scrophu- 
laria. 
MonEY FLOWER. Honesty, Lunaria biennis 
MoNEY IN BotH Pockets. (1) A_ very 
general name for Honesty or Lunary, Lunaria 
biennis, from the transparent, purse-like seed- 
pods, which contain the seed on both sides of a 
dividing membrane. 
(2) Several correspondents in both Somerset 
and Dorset give this as a local name for Phlox, 
(3) Seeds of the Maple, Acer campestre (Curry 
Mallet). 
(4) Common Agrimony, Agrimonia Eupatoria 
(Leigh, Dorset). 
MONEY IN EVERY POCKET. Honesty. More 
gencrally called MONEY IN BoTH POCKETs. 
MonEY PLANT. (1) Honesty, as above; 
particularly in Devon. 
(2) Penny Cress, Thlapsi arvense. This plant 
owes its general English name to the fact that its 
seed vessels are about the size of the old English 
silver pennies ; when these coins were in common 
use the name was expressive, but it is scarcely 
understood now. Doubtless the name MONEY 
PLANT, which is sent me from Durston and other 
ucts: is due to the same reason. See MONEY 
REE. 
MONEY Pockets. Honesty or Lunary, Lunaria 
biennis (Ilminster district). 
Money TREE. A school-girl at Widworthy
