 " )ooc," Gl. Moyen Moutier, p. 164 b; 

 so p. 161 b. " Pes corui apium moroi- 

 " darum, ravenys feete," MS. Bodley, 

 178. "Apium emoroidarum vel pes 

 " corui idem ravnys fete," MS. Ilarl, 

 3388. " Apium emoroidarum, pes corui 

 " idem," MS. Rawlinson, c. 607. Tlie 

 tubers at tlie root of ttiis plant were 

 compared to piles, hemorrhoids, fici, 

 whence the names Pilewort, Apium 

 hacmorrhoidarum, Eicaria. " Pes pulli, 

 " Gallice pepol, Anglice remnies fote," 

 Gl. Sloane, 146. "Pied poul, the 

 " round rooted or onion rooted crow- 

 " foot." Cotgrave. Similarly Gl. Harl. 

 3388. Thus authority and early tradition 

 run strongly for ranunculus ficaria ; at 

 the same time we cannot but feel a 

 difficulty in observing that the leaves of 

 this species are not crowfoot in shapes 

 and the plant is so unlike most of the 

 crowfoots, that on ancient principles it 

 should hardly be called by a similar name. 



lijiean, ace, Lb. n. xli., I suppose to be 

 = Isl, Hrai, masc, cruditas, as perhaps 

 not rawness, but indigestion. Somner, 

 however, may have had authority for 

 <pOi.cn.s. 



Djieoyol, fem., gen. -le, roughness of t/ic 

 body, leprosy. Lb. I. Ixxxviii. 



)>]ucj-ca, gen, pl., Lb. I. xxxi. 5, from 

 some nom. s. signifying it seems a crick, 

 which is a small wrench, a twist, accom- 

 panied usually with a small sound ; a 

 little crack, a crick, produced by the 

 overstraining of some articulation. See 

 Lye in )>jiij-cian. 



J^jnj:, neut., the abdomen. Lb. II. xxviii. ; 

 II. xxxii. 



)>]iipns, fem., gen. -e, scab, crust of a 

 healing umund. Lb. I. xxxv. at end, 

 the context requires this sense. Cf. 

 )>jue]}>0, scabies. 



)>jii)Tuns, fem., gen. -e, spasmodic action. 

 Isl. at Ilrista quaiere, in the reflexive, 

 contremiscere. Lb. II. xlvi.

 rheuma.

)>unbe)-hea}ob, "hounds head," snapdragon, 

 anlirrhimim oronlium, Hot. In lib. 

 Ixxxviii., Canis caput. The German 

 Hun dskopf is A. orontium, and according 

 to Kilian in kalfs-snuyte, canis caput is 

 antirrhinum. The drawings in j\ISS. 

 V. and T. represent, I hold, this plant. 

 " Cynocephaleon, heoptclsefpe," Gl. 

 Somn, p. 63 b, 56, hart clover, melilot, 

 which might be made in a di'awing to 

 cluster its flowers as snapdragon. 



IMmbej- tun^e, fem., gen. -an, hounds- 

 tongue, eynoglossum officinale. In lib. 

 xlii. this is made = bugloss ; in MS. V., 

 allowing for conventional and incorrect 

 drawing, the figure (fol. 30 c.) seems 

 intended for lycopsis arvensis. Sot., or 

 small bugloss ; similarly MS. A., fol. 

 24 b. MS. G. draws echium vulgare, or 

 vipers bugloss. MS. T. has given us, 

 instead of bugloss, a picture of house- 

 leek. The houndstongue family of plauts 

 is akin to the bugloss race, and om- 

 Saxon interpreter was, perhaps, unable 

 to discriminate. "Buglossan, glosvyrt 

 " vel hundes tunga. Canis lingua, huu- 

 " des tunga," Gl. Dun. "Lingua bobule 

 '' (bubula) oxan tunge," id., "buglossa 

 " hertestunge, ossentunge/' Gl. in Mone, 

 p. 283 a. " Bugilla, hundestunge," id. 

 p. 285 b. {bugle, aiuga reptans, JJot.), 

 " lingua cervina, huntzenge," id. p. 289, 

 (a mistake, road hertszunge). " Buglosse, 

 " foxes glofa," id. p. 320 a ; " canis 

 " lingua, hundestunge," id. ibid. That 

 eynoglossum officinale is houndstongue in 

 Gemian, Dutch, Dansk, Swedish, may 

 have arisen from translation and instruc- 

 tion ; but why not so also with the 

 Saxons ? The drawing in V. is more like 

 borage (II., from a pen and ink sketch), 

 but the blooms }iave no blue colour.
