GLOSSARY. 



Cujimelle — con t. 



expression, " caules geniculati," seems 

 iiTeconcileable with the genus. The in- 

 terpreter of our MS., however, and the 

 draughtsman did not know what plant to 

 name for the greater, nor did Fuchsius, 

 the botanic reformer. Of the less, Plini- 

 us says, " Hoc (minus) centaurion nostri 

 *' fel terrse vocant propter amaritudinem 

 ^' summam." " The whole plant is ex- 

 " tremely bitter, and when dried is used 

 " in country places as a substitute for 

 " gentian root," (Lindley). Lyte (p. 375) 

 describes Ery th. c, and mentions (p. 436) 

 its bitterness, calling it " the small cen- 

 " torie." " Centaurea minor, horse galle," 

 Gl. Sloane, 5, where " horse " means 

 luild. " C. maior, cristes ladder," Gl. 

 •Sloane, 5, but minor, Gl. Sloane, 13.5; 

 Christs ladder cannot be polemonium 

 cseruleum, which is nowise to the pur- 

 pose. " C. J^e more is not well knowen," 

 Gl. Sloane, 5, fol. 18 b. " Centaurea 

 *' maior, anglice more centori or yrthe 

 *' galle, it hathe leuys like lasse centori 

 " whytt, with on \_one\ stalk and yolow 

 *' flowrys and he flowryth nott in )pe 

 " topp," Gl. Sloane, 135; and so Harl. 

 3840, this is chlora perfoliata. Centaurea 

 maior coniungit folia iuxta stipitem, 

 florem habet croceum, MS. T., fol. 63 a. 

 " Centaurea minor, anglice lasse centori, 

 " with lasse leuys and grener J^en J>e more 

 *' centori, and hath mony branches com- 

 " yng out of on, with flowre some dele 

 " redde," Gl. Sloane, 135, plainly eryth- 

 rcea c. The [H]ortus Sanitatis figures 

 for centaurea, the erythraum c. Sibthorp 

 in the Flora Graca sustains the assertion. 

 Centaurea, erthegalle, is drawn in Grete 

 Herbal as C cyanus. Dorsten says the 

 greater centaury is unknown, yet draws 

 it as C. cyanus.
