 ranunculus ficaria, Bat. In Hb. xxviii. 

 made Chamajdafne, which, literally 

 translated, is " ground laurel or bay," 

 and determined by Sprengel to be rus- 

 cus racemosus.^' That it is indeed a 

 ruscus is qvxite evident by the words of 

 Dioskorides ; Kapirhv 5e -nepKpepi} ipvOpvv, 

 Tols (pvWois 4iniTe(pvK6Ta,Vior can we doubt 

 from the rest of the description but that 

 the species is correctly determined. 

 Plinius, however, having more know- 

 ledge of words than things, while citing 

 the description ; " semen rubens an- 

 " neximi foliis" (xxiv. 81), which makes 

 the chamsedafiie a ruscus, yet has misled 

 many of the later inquirers by declaring 

 it to be periwinkle ; " vinca pervinca 

 " sive chamfcdafoe," (xxi. 99.) In this 

 error he is followed by many, as a "Welsh 

 gl. of plants in Meddygon Myddfai, 

 (p. 283 a.), and Coopers Thesaurus. 

 The Latin Apuleius, MS. G. draws, I 

 think, a periwinkle. The species II. 

 racemosus, is a native not of England, 

 but of the Archipelago. Our concern, 

 however, being with Eavens foot, it will 

 soon appear that it is neither Ruscus nor 

 Vinca. Ravens foot, like crowfoot, was 

 a name probably given fi'om the shape of 

 the leaves ; whence it will follow at 

 once that ravens foot is neither chamas- 

 daftie nor vinca maior. The old inter- 

 preter had before him a wholly different 

 drawing, having a resemblance in its 

 folded leaves to Alchemilla vulgaris. 

 The unfolded leaves are deeply cut, and 

 so " Pentaphilon, refnes fot," Gl. Dun.

 p. 161 b, 34, showing that the leaves were 

 like those of cinqfoil. MS. T. has a gl. 

 " Raucn fote, crowfote," to the same effect, 

 with a drawing which I take to intend
