70 ASTER HISTORY 
B. aquaticum L. (now in Astericus) and B. spinosum L. (now 
Pallenis) both occurring in Zante and elsewhere, the latter then 
known at Zante as xapgoyoptoy or “bur-grass.’’ See under An- 
guillara, etc. The fovg@adpoy of early Greek mention, at least of 
Dioscorides, was deemed by Sibthorp to be the Chrysanthemum 
segetum of Linnaeus, known in Greece now as téer¢¢yG0da (like CR 
coronarium) and in Laconia as xovzovfayed.* 
BupHTHaLMuM.—Brunfels 3; 8, last line, ‘‘ Buphthalmum et 
bovis oculum appellent’’ speaking of name Herba Paralysis; 
here his Buphthalmum perhaps includes Aster, Bellis and Leucan- 
themum (and others ?). See Oculus. : 
CALAMARIS, or Calioremares, zahovupdon>, D, Latin name of 
Aster Tripolium L., perhaps in sense of sea-grass, from ca/amus 
a reed. 
CaricaMon,—A name in Serapion for Aster Tripolium L. 
(due perhaps to transliteration of its name zadcovpdoys, Sprengel). 
Centumcarira, “ hundred-heads,’ name used by Pliny and 
writers later to the Renaissance for Eryngium. After the confu- 
sion between Eryngium and Aster Atticus was begun by Serapion’s 
blending of the two, and was beginning to cause uncertainty 
among the compilers, the name Centumcapita probably some- 
times covered Aster, as in De Manliis, c. 1450 (in Brunfels’ De 
vera, 170. 1531) saying of Serapion’s Ascaracon [ Aster Atticon] 
“est coelestis coloris,. . .[in distinction from Centumcapita alba] 
sed centumcapita alba est species spinae,”’ and perhaps in //zerony- 
mus of Brunswick's Apodixis, 193, under ‘ Manstrew, in Latin 
Centum-capita ... oder Ellend . . . mit hymmelblaw farben.” 
This or the other Centumcapita (Eryngium) is by Platearius in 
Circa instans called wrongly Affodillus, fide De Manliis, 170. 
CHAMoMILE.—Camomile, fopapnhov, D., yapopaka. mod. Gr. 
—Chamomilla (Bock 1536) and Camamilla, Ital., Matthioli, etc. 
= Matricaria chamomilla L., thought by Hermolaus Barbarus, 
'492, to be perhaps the Amellus of Vergil; rejected by Wedel,
