* Identical descriptions of this and the next plant are fovmd in App. Sigillu S. Marire and 

 Sigillu Salomonis. Probably it was from those synonyms (the glosses of Petrus de Abano) that 

 they found their way into the text. Gerarde, p. 871, ' RueUius saith that in certain shops it 

 (Blacke Bryonie) is called Sigillum B. MaricB . . . in English, Blacke Bryonie, wilde Vine, and 

 Our Ladies Seale.' ^ Gerarde, p. 905, ' Solomon's seale is called in Greeke, voXvyuvaTov ; 



. . . in shops Sigillum Salomonis, and Scala Cceli : in English likewise, Scala coely, Solomon's 

 seale, and White-woort, or White-root, . . . of the Hetrurians, Frasinella and Fraxinella'
