' Sim. Jan. ' Herha Sti. Panli in antidotario universali in quodam unguento ad plagas.' 

 ^ Matth. Silv. c. clxiii, ' Aspergiila, spargula, sic vocatur, a quibusdam rubea minor.' See post, 

 Spergula minor. This may be the plant described by Gerarde, p. 11 25, 'called Sagince sper- 

 gula or Spurry, which is sown in Brabant, Holland, and Flanders, of purpose to fatten cattel 

 and to cause them to give much milke.' Persillium may be for psyllium. ^ Bart, 



p. 23, ' Herba fortis, i. absinthium.' See ante, Absinthium. ^ Sim. Jan. ' Herba 



caiholica vocatur a quibusdam laureola.' Matth. Silv. c. cccl, ' Herba catholica, id est meze- 

 reon, vel alimpiados, laureola.' Bart. p. 23, ' Herba caiholica, i. laureola.' See ante, Allipiados. 

 * Bart. p. 23, 'Hastula regia, i. woderove.' ib. p. 12, ' Astula regia, woderove idem.' ib. 

 p. 24, ' Herba muscata, i. hastula regia, woderove.' See ante, Asta regia. Gerarde, pp. 94, 

 96, gives hastula regia as one of the names of asphodel, and it certainly would seem to be 

 more applicable to it than to woodruff. Perhaps some manuscript confusion may have arisen 

 between the words asphodelus, asperula, and astula. In this gloss it seems also to be identified 

 with tiepeta, or cat-mint. ^ Matth. Silv. c. cccliii, ' Herba venti major, scatumcellum, 



id est paritaria (which must here mean not pellitory, but wall penny-wort, or Cotyledon Umbilicus), 

 sed herba venti minor est consolida minor.' Bart. p. 24, ' Herba venti, i. scabiosa secundum 

 quosdam.' ib. p. 43, ' Venti minor, i, consolida minor.' "^ Bart. p. 4,^, ' Vicetoxicon 



herba est que valet contra toxicum.' ' See ante- " Sim. Jan, ' Herba scelerata, 



supra in botrachium.' Bart, p. 34, ' Herba scelerata, i. apium risus.' " See ante, 



Botrachion. " Herba paralysis. ^'' That is sausages. '^ Sim. Jan. 



' Herba cancri, supra in crispula.' See ante, Centrum galli. " Thisterm is also applied 



to avens, which is called Herb Bennet. Matth. Silv. c. cccl, ' Herba benedicta quid est lege fu, vel 

 gariofilata.'
