 Lb. II. xxii. p. 208 ult., -where the sense 

 hardly admits spuerc. " Spoyte, spriitzen, 

 " sprenken, so auch Siiddiin." Outzen. 



Spejie J'yjit, 1. Ranunculus Jiavimula. 

 " Flamula . i . sper wortt or launsele, this

2. Inula Helenium, Hb. xcvii. and 

 Gl. Harl. 978, make spearwort Inula 

 campana = Inula Helenium, Bot. Gl. 

 Dun. perhaps copies Hb. Gl. Brux. 

 agrees. MSS. V., G., A. draw spears 

 springing from a root. 



In MS. Bodl. 130, is an explanation, 

 Centaurea, and a gloss in a hand of the 

 14th century, " Sperewert." The Gen- 

 taurea Cyanus is so far like Inula H., 

 that it may be mistaken in a di'awing. 

 " Policaria minor," Gl. Harl. 3388. 



3. Carex acuta, Germ. Spiessgras, is 

 probably meant in the following, " Fla- 

 " mula mynor . i . sperworte thys erbe

 club moss, Lycopodium clavatum. " Cal- 

 " litrichon," MS. ap. Somn., but in this 

 term were included the club mosses. 

 S-]JSel as arroiv, may have given name to 

 this moss, as the stems look like arrows 

 with the feathers up and the heads in 

 the ground. Were it not for this gl. 

 we might interpret Galium verum, from 

 Scjia;!, bed; our ladys bed straw. 



Scjieap, Stjieo]', straw, neuter in Lb. I. iii.
