 * The name labrum Veneris, like'A(ppoSiTT]s \ovTpuv, belongs to the Teasel, and, like diipaicos, is due 

 to the water standing in its leaves. Teasel is also called x"/i'^'"'' (.Diosc. iii. 11), and hence 

 arises a certain confusion between it and the x'^1^^^^'^'^ \evK6s and /xe'A.as of Diosc. iii. S, 9.

 Catholicon Anglicum (ed. Herttage), ' Fawthistelle, labrum Veneris.' The suggestion there made 

 (p. 124") that faivthistelle might represent A. ^.fdh\)istel (coloured thistle) would suit the descrip- 

 tion macidas albas in foliis and also the name Carduus varius. Cf. Wright's Vocabularies. p. \6x,
