GLOSSARY. 



]7ui?u leccjnc — cont. 

 Lactuca sylvatica. Masc. G.D. 11a. The 

 gloss in H. Scariola must be accepted ; 

 Sir J. E. Smith turns it Friclily Lettuce ; 

 Sir W. Hooker says it is found on waste 

 ground in Cambridgeshire, at Southend, 

 Essex, and formerly near Islington. He 

 adds that the garden lettuce, L. sativa, is 

 not a native of this country. " Lactvica, 

 " letuse, slepewort, idem ; domestica et 

 " campestris." Also " Lactuca agrestis, 

 " rostrum porcinum . mylk thistell." MS. 

 Ilarl. 3388. " Lactuca silvatica idem 

 " wild letys, \>\s erbe has leuys like to a 

 " thystell, and they ben scharpe "t ken "t 

 " hit has a floure of purpure colour, "t 

 " hit groys in feldes "t in whet," MS. 

 Bodl. 536, fol. 17. The word purpure 

 was in early times an exact repetition 

 of purpureus, which the Romans applied 

 to any bright colour. The flower of 

 Lactuca scariola is yellow. Lactuca sil- 

 vatica has yellow rays in MS. Bodl. 130, 

 but the leaves are too like sword blades. 

 It is there glossed Suge J?hiftel, that is, 

 sow thistle. " Scarola . endiua . tx°nna 

 (?) lactuca agrestis," Gl. M. The 

 drawing in MS. T is an exact representa- 

 tion of i. scar?o7a, glossed Branca vrsina, 

 to which there is resemblance. 



p'ubu ]io]:e, hpoje, gen. -an: 1. Affodehis 

 ramosus. In lib. xxxiii., liii. Woodroffe 

 is astula regia, that is hastula regia, the 

 royal sceptre, and all accounts agree that 

 it is a kind of onion, an asfodelaceous 

 plant, with a vast number of bulbs, 

 " Lxxx. simul accvvatis sa»pe bulbis," 

 " Plinius, xxi. 68 ; and though it has 

 " transfeiTcd its name to the daffodil, 

 " yet not that plant. Narcissus pseudo- 

 " narcissus, is its equivalent. The As- 

 phodelus is figured in IMS. V. fol. 28 a, 

 but the flower is gone ; the drawing, as 

 much as remains, matches that in Fuch- 

 sius, p. 121. " Asphodellus, wode houe" 

 (so), MS. Harl. 3388. " Astula regia. i . 

 " wode rove," MS. llawl. C. 607. " Ilas- 

 " tyca regia . i . woderofe." MS. Bodl. 536.

2. Asperula odorata, modern usage. 

 In MS. Bodl. 130 ; for hastula regia is 

 drawn a true Asperula, with gloss in 

 14th century hand " woodrofe." "Rubea 

 " minor woodroff'," MS. Bodl. 178.
