N. 



Xatbjie pypc, fem., gen. in -e, addcrwort, 

 /tuh/gonum bistorla. In Hb. vi. ntebjie- 

 ]iy]ic = viperina. Our adderworls are 

 those plants which resemble an irritated 

 snake raising its head, the ofioglosmm 

 vulgatum, the arum macidatum, the poly- 

 ijonum bistorta. In MS. G., the German 

 gloss is " Naterwurc," and the German 

 Natterwurz may be polygonum bistorla, 

 or provincially sedum, or again provin- 

 cially cchium vulgare. (Adelung). We 

 are therefore to conclude that the two 

 glossators, agreeing, made the herb 

 p. bistorta. The figures in MSS. V., 

 A., G., T. have much the appearance of 

 alisma plantago. In MS. Bodley, 130, 

 the figure and gloss are " Sowethistell." 

 From MS. G. fol. 8 a, the Germans 

 called the Satirion orchis " Natarwure," 

 which must be applied to enlarge 

 Adelung.

 a " ryb.skin," it comes to the same at 

 last. Naii'c in the Lib. Med. corresponds 

 to " I'ha'uicium " in Marcellus.
