90 NOTES. 



P. 11, 1. i. Apiago, beo wyrt. The gloss seems 

 merely a translation of apis, as part of Apiago. Cf, 

 p.i. 



1. 8. Labrusca, wingerd. 'Labrusca, vitis agrestis.' 

 Glos. Amplon. 



P. 12, 1. i. For bran we must read brun. The 

 Durham Glossary has ' Vaccinium, Brun wyrt.' 



1. 8. Astula regia, wuderofe. This Woodruff is baf- 

 fling. Some tantalizing disappointments await the 

 enquirer. One of the things that seemed to me most 

 certain before I entered into this enquiry, was that 

 Astula regia, wudurofe, must be Asperula odwata, 

 because that is the plant called Woodruff now, and 

 in German it is popularly called Wald-Meister, a 

 name which corresponds in sense to Wudu rof, if rof 

 here is the well-known adjective for lordly, famous.

 kegras, all which come from moschus, and refer to the 

 sweet scent; as also its Spanish name moscatella, a 

 derivative from which has furnished a badge to Adoxa 

 moschatellina, for no other connection, but its musky 

 smell (Grassmann). The Brev. Bart, has this : 

 ' Herba muscata .i. hastula regia, Woderoue ; ' which 

 seems to point to Asperula odorata. 



P. 13, 1. i. Cinoglossa. Confusion for Arniglossa, 

 p. i and 48. 



P. 14, 1. i. Gerobotana, vel verbena, i.e. Hiero- 

 botana. Pliny xxv. 9 : ' Nulla tamen Komanae nobili- 

 tatis plus habet quam Hierabotane, aliqui Peristereon, 

 nostri verbenacam vocaut.' Cf. p. 5 for Peristereon. 



1. 20. Scirpus, ae-risc. This I suppose means Water- 

 rush. In Glos. Amplon, * Papirum eorisc.' 



1. 22. Ulva, grade. In Baxter's British Flowering 

 Plants the Lemna or Duckweed is called Greeds. 



P. 15, 1. 2. Brittannica, cusloppe. Perhaps for Be-
