brujne. Album Grtecum, prescribed in 

 Lb. for this disease, is said by Salmon 

 (Engl. Ph)'s. p. 753) to cure "Diseases 

 " of the Throat and Quinsies : for a sore 

 " throat called Pruna, you may use it." 



Bpunjiypr, fem., gen. in -e, broivn wort, 

 scrqfalaria aquatica, water betony. 

 (Skinner, Lyte, Nemnich, Culpeper.) So 

 braun^vurtz in Dodoens. I suppose " the 

 " broad leaved brownwort which waxeth 

 " in woods," Lb. I. xxxviii. 4, to be 

 scrofula ria nodosa. 



2. Hb. art. Ivii. makes bjiunpyjic the 

 fern called splenium or asplenium, and 

 Gl. Dun. copies that. Ceterach officina- 

 rum is meant. It has a brown under 

 surface, but the drawing in MS. V. is 

 not a fern at all. Spimon vel reverion, 

 Gl. Erux., where spimon is a misreading 

 of splenion. 



3. Also the vaccinium or bilberry 

 shrub, Gl. Somn. p. 66 [63] b, 12, where 

 bpanjiypc is printed. Gl. Dun.

Caepfe, gen. -an, fem. ? cress, water cress, 

 nasturtium officinale. The drawings in 

 V. A. have opposite leaves and a stout 

 tripartite terminal fruit or inflorescence, 

 so that they are " most like caper spurge, 

 " euphorbia lathyris," (H.) But the op- 

 posite leaves with a racemose arrange- 

 ment of the flowers, which latter may be 

 seen in MS. T., is sufficient for us, with 

 the synonym in Hb. xxi. " Nasturtium." 

 In MS. G. is a gloss, " Cart chresse," 

 where the former word may stand for 

 KdpSafxoy, cress. Thu drawing in MS. G. 

 is a good deal like the herb, and that in 

 MS. T. is meant for it. " Cardamon, 

 " cearse," Gi. Dun. Tun caepj-e, garden

 " monie," which is gentian. "Peuce- 

 " danum, cammok," Gl. M. ; Gl. Dun., 

 dog fenell (Grete Herbal). The fine 

 linear leaves are meant in a bad drawing 

 in MS. Harl. 5294, where is gl. hand 

 fenell. Peucedanum is harstrang in 

 Hollands Plinius (index, vol. ii.), and 

 in Dutch and German, and in Cotgrave. 

 Harestrong is peucedanum officinale in 

 Mylnes Indigenous Botany, 1793. Peu- 

 kedanum was also rightly read as hogs 

 fennel, in a Welsh Gl. of the 13th cen- 

 tury (Meddygon Myddfai, p. 291). The 

 name fennel is derived fi'om its linear 

 leaves. The genitive. Lb. III. xxx.

 nate like those of the true cammock.
