1.12. Ueneria. $ is Beo wyrt. The gloss seems due 

 to the attribute of the plant in Apuleius, that it keeps 

 bees from swarming off and leaving you. Cf. p. II. 



1. 13. Uermenaca. This is the Verbenaca of Pliny 

 xxv. 59, Syn. Hierobotane, Peristereon. 



P. 2, 1. 16. Proserpinaca. ^ is unfortredde. Below, 

 p. 32, unfortredde is Pilogonus, perhaps = Polygonum. 

 If it is Polygonum aviculare, certainly it deserves the 

 name of irrepressible, not to be trodden out.
