Clujre ? fern., pi. in -e, a clove, the bulb or 

 tuber of a plant. Lb. IIL xli., etc. 



Cluplir, cluyehc, cloved, having a clove, 

 bulbed, tuberous. Lb. IIL xli., etc. 



CluyJ^ung, cluil'uuse, fern., gen. in -e, also 

 —an, doffing, ranunculus sceleratus, 

 Hb. ix. In MS. G. the true herb is 

 drawn ; in MS. A. the flowers are at 

 least yellow, with five petals ; but in 

 MS. V. fol. 21 a, all likeness is lost, 

 punj is poison, cluy- is clove, the tuberous 



■ root ; as of some of this tribe. Clup 

 J'ungan, Hb. ex. 3, where the Latin 

 again makes the wort a ranunculus. 

 " Mortali yeneno, mid cEttrigere cluf- 

 " >unse," Gl. Mone, p. 349 b, an erro- 



. neous version ; but an example of the 

 feminine. " Scelerata herba vel apium 

 " risus, anglice cloftong," Gl. Sloane, 

 405. " Scelerata, gl. cloftunge," MS. 

 Bodley, 130. "As yellow as a claut," that 

 is, marsh ranunculus (Wilts.). " Batra- 

 " chium," Gl. Erux. 



" Cicuta, cloftunke," Gl. Ilarl. 3388, 

 an error, cicuta is hemlock ; the poi- 

 sonous quality misled the writer. 

 " Cloffing, the plant hellebore." Halli- 

 well and the English Macer, MS. in 

 Prompt. Parv., vol. i. p. 198 ; a similar 

 error occurs, Lb. I. i. 7. 



Clu}"]'y]ir, clovewort, fem., gen. -e, ranun- 

 culus acris. In MS. G. the figure is that 

 of ranunculus as in " scelerata," but here 

 the root is tuberous, so MS. T., but less 

 well ; MS. A. preserves a resemblance, 

 which is almost lost in MS. V. Hb. x. 

 " Batrocum," Gl. Dun., that is ^arpa-xi-ov. 



Cneopholen, masc, knee holly, knee holm, 

 -holn, -hulver, butchers broom, Ruscus 

 aculeatus, Hb. lix. The gender is de- 

 termined by C.E. p. 437, 19, where the 

 translation " alder," is an im fortunate 

 blot. Two kinds are mentioned, Lb. I. 

 xlvii., but one only is native to England. 

 . The second may be presumed to be R. 

 Alexandrina of the middle ages, which 

 included li. hi/poglossum, E. Injpofyllum, 

 H. racemosus, of the Eot. 



Cop;, gen. -es, costmary, alecost, tanacetuni 



balsamita. Lb. II. Iv. 1, etc.

 went off from the cow ; gen. pi. cuna ; 

 ]:eo}ie]i-is cuna. Gen. xxxii. 15 ; dat. pi.

 xxxiii. 13, where ge is con ; SSpp. 261, 

 cows with their calves. 

 Culmillan, for cujimellan ? Lb. I. xvi. 1,

ffKippiifxaTa. Hb. clvii. 

 Cunelle, fem., gen. -an, a Latin word, 

 cunila, a thymiaceous plant, say Thymus 

 vulgaris, a garden herb, but it is not 

 rue, as the glossator of the Liudisfarne 

 Gospels, Luke xi. 42, says, nor chervil, 

 as another Gl. says. 



I^ubu cunelle, thymus serpyllum, wild 

 thyme. Lb, III. xxii. 

 Cupmelle ]-eo mape, Chlora perfoliata, 

 Bot. ; Cujimelle j-eo IcSfj-e, Erytltraa cen- 

 taureum, Bot. Hb. xxxv. xxxvi. All 

 the MSS., v.. A., G., T. figure in both 

 these articles, the same wort, and in all 

 they are the Erythraea centaureum. The 

 mediffival glossaries make no difficulty of 

 the lesser, but they had lost the clue to 

 the greater. The tradition is from 

 Plinius, XXV. 30, 31. Though some of 

 the continental botanists make no hesi- 

 tation in identifying the greater centau- 

 rion of Plinius, with centaiirea, yet his
