43. 15. ‘‘ Holiokes,” in Huloet’s Dict. Holy Hoke. Wedgwood 
(Etym. Dict.) derives it from A.S. hoc, Welsh hocys=a mallow, 
and says that it obtained the title of Ho/y from its being brought 
from the Holy. Land, where it is indigenous. 
43. 16. “Indian Eie.” This was probably a Dianthus of some 
kind (French @zllet), the same perhaps which is now grown in our 
gardens as Indian or Chinese Pink. 
43. 19. Laus tibd, “‘a narcissus with white flowers. It groweth 
plenteously in my Lorde’s garden in Syon and it is called of divers 
White Laus tibi.”—Turner’s Herball, pt. ii. b. 2. “ It is very diffi- 
cult to ascertain what plant was meant by this name, which is also 
mentioned by Turner in his ‘Names of Herbes’ (1548), and in 
his ‘ Libellus’ (1538), where there is a long disquisition concerning 
it. It may be Warcissus poeticus, L., as Mr. B. D. Jackson supposes 
in his reprint of the ‘ Libellus’ or possibly JV. dzflorus, L.”—Note 
by Mr. J. Britten. 
43. 20. ‘ Lillium cum vallium,” the “ Lily of the Valley,” in Lyte 
Lylhe Conuall, and also termed May Blossoms, May Lyllies, and 
Lyryconfancy. 
43. 23. ‘Nigella Romana.” The Migella Damascena, Linn., a 
favourite old-fashioned garden annual, still to be met with in 
gardens under the names of ‘ Love-in-a-mist,” or ‘ Devil-in-a- 
bush.” 
43. 24. ‘“‘ Pansy,” or Paunce, Fr. pensée, thought. According 
to Dr. Johnson the name is derived from Lat. panacea, but there is 
no evidence of the plant ever having been so called, or having been 
regarded as a panacea. It has received more popular names perhaps 
than any other plant, both in our own and in foreign languages. 
The following are some of the quaint titles given to it: ‘‘ Cull me 
to you,” or “‘ Cuddle me to you,” “ Love and Idle,” “‘ Live in Idle- 
ness,” “‘ Love in Idleness” (originally ‘‘ Love in idle,” z.e. in vain) ; 
‘“Love in idle Pances,” “Tittle my fancy;” ‘‘ Kiss me, ere l nse” 
‘‘Jump up and kiss me,” “Kiss me at the garden gate,” ‘ Pink 
of my John,” “‘ Herb Trinity,” and ‘‘ Three faces under one hood,” 
from the three colours combined in one flower. It was also called 
‘‘ Hearts-ease,” and ‘‘ Flame flower” (M. Lat. Viola flammea). 
Heartsease, a term meaning “a cordial,’ as in Sir W. Scott’s 
Antiquary, ch. xi., ‘“‘ Buy a dram to be eilding and claise, and a 
supper and hearts-ease into the bargain,” given to certain plants 
supposed to be cardiac : at present [applied] to the pansy alone, but 
by Lyte, Bulleyn, and W. Turner, to the Wadl/flower equally.—Dr. 
R. A. Prior’s Popular Names of British Plants, which see for an 
account of the origin of the name. 
43.31. ‘ Sops-in-Wine,” the Clove Gilliflower, Dzanthus caryo- 
phyllus, L., so called from the flowers being used to flavour wine 
or ale. Cf. Chaucer’s Rime of Sir Thopas, B. 1950:
