' Diosc. i. 27, ixkviov . . . cl S Parov ISaiav (var. Paroveidiav) . * Baldmoney or Bawdmoney, 



a name given, according to Parkinson (Theat. Bot. 1640, p. 1735), to Gentian, and also to Meum or 

 Spignell. Bald-money may be connected with the god Balder : cf. the name Balders brow for chamo- 

 mile : and the Ger. Baldrian for Valerian (Grassmann, Deutsche Pflanzennamen, p. 123). ^ Read

 * Matth. Silv. c. Ixxxiii, 'Basilicon entaticon quid est 1. medion, Diasco.' Diosc. iv. 18, fj.Tjdiov, where 

 the only possible source of corruption seems to be contained in the names KvPiWiov and KKrjnaTiov. 

 The explanation of mediousum may perhaps be found in 6(r/x6s, which is an equivalent of iJ.r]5tov. 

 ' Read bona herba ueneris, which seems to be vervain. ' Verbascum, cf. Plin. Hist. Nat. 



XXV. 10. * (p\6nos, Diosc. iv. 102. Bart. p. 21,' Flosmus, tapsus barbastus idem.' Gerarde, 



p. 774, says the plant is called in shops Tapsns barbatus, which may be corrupted from Verbascum : 

 sce App. F/oot;/s. '" See ante, Ayzon. Themo\\is = ri6vna\os. jErewor/ recalls the name 



orpine given to SedumTelephium. It may perhaps be referred to in ' Aurinaleucia, orual, stedfast,' 

 see ante, Aurinaleucia. See post, Crassula Major : cf. Physica Stae. Hildegardis, ii. 86, 

 Semperviva. ' Si quis surdus in auribus est ita quod auditu caret, lac feminae tollat que masculum 

 peperit cum jam decem aut duodecim septimanae sunt quod filium genuit, et modicum plus de 

 succo sempervivse lacti huic addat, et in aurem suam aut tres aut quatuor guttas de eodem 

 modice immitti faciat, et hoc fieri sgepe permittat et auditum recipiet.' cf. Macer, de Acidula, 

 'Auribus expressus succus si funditur ejus Adjuvat auditum mire pellitque dolorem.' The 

 frequency of Houseleek may be due not only to its medicinal virtues, but also to the influence of 

 superstition : cf. Apuleius, De Virt. Herb. c. 124, 'Sempervivas nomen sumpsit quod sit semper 

 viridis, ab aliquibus Stergethron {(XT(pyr]9pov) vocatur eo quod amorifica judicetur, unde et pro 

 foribus a plurimis ponitur ut pellat odia.' " Bart. p. 12,' Bardana, i. lappa inversa, 



sive lappa major quod idem est.' ib. ' Bardana, an. clote, gert burr.' id. p. 13, ' Burrus, gertt clote.' 

 The plant is Burdock or Clot-bur. E. P. N. p. 46, 'Lappa, bardane, clote.' Apuleius, de Virt. 

 Herbarum (Aldus 1547), c. 36, calls it Dardana. ^^ Barba hircina, perhaps a translation
