 leprosis assimulentur, et postea cum succo maratri et aceto se lavant et tota deletur infcctio. 

 Tapsia enim inflat vultum terentis.' Gerarde, p. 1030, ' if a man do stand where the winde doth 

 blow from the plant, the aire doth exulcerate and blister the face and every other bare or naked 

 place that may be subject to his venomous blast and poisonous quality.' Gerarde, p. 689. 



' There is a kinde of Bawme called Herba Judaica which Lobel calls Tetrahit.'' Bart. p. 24, 

 ' Herba judaica, tetrahit idem.' Bart. p. 2^,'Jacia ;"g-ra, matfelonn.' Gerarde, 



p. 729, 'it is called also Materfillon and Matrefillen : inEnglish, Matfellon, Bulweed, and Knap- 

 weed.' " Compare the Welsh Madfelen. See Stow, Sur\'ey of the Cities of London and 



\Vestminster, fol. 1755, ii. 44, on the Church of St. Mary M.atfelon. He relates that the murdercr 

 of a certain widow was set upon by the wives of the Parish who slew him out of hand : ' and for 

 this fact it hath been said that Parish purchased that name of Mary Matfelon.^ Str)'pe, however, 

 thinks it more probable that Matfelon is a word of Hebrew or Syriac extraction, ' signifying as 

 much as qu(E nuper enixa est^ and so fitly applied to St. Mary : and that the church was founded 

 by some knight that had dvvelt in the Holy Land and dedicated to St. Mary with the Babe in her 

 arms, which in those Eastern countries was called Matfelon. ^^ BuUweed, or perhaps 



Bullhead. ^^ Hardhead is one of the popular names for Knapweed. Gerarde, 



Appendix, gives Hardhow as a s}-nonym of Marygolds. - " The scaly appcarance of the 



under surface of the plant probably marked it out as a cure for cutaneous diseases. ^' Scabieuse. 



*^ Gerarde, p, 793, gives Scab-woort as a name of Elecampane. " Diosc. iv. 63, vaKivOos
