“ Arthemisia leptaphilos, armoise la moindre, matricaria.” 
144. Repeats the preceding in part, “ Costula fctida,” an herb 
much like “‘camomilla,”’ but “very fetid.”’ There are two kinds, 
major (Anthemis cotula L..) and minor (A. arvensis L.). In Sec. the 
second is called canesson, the first amourouque (it is the Amaruscus 
of the Alphita, Amarisca of Macer; see p. 208). 
97. Matricaria Chamomilla L. is given these names: ‘“Matri-

Senecio vulgaris L. does appear, however, in the Grant Herbier 
developed from this, in the form ‘“Senechon, by some called 
Selechion, by us Chardon.” 
Lupatorium suffers its usual inequalities of fortune. : Rapier 
cannabinum 1, appears as ‘‘Eupatorium,’’ no. 22, also as 
“Canapa silvatica, by others called Agrion cannabin” ; in Sec. as 
“Chanvre,” no, 99; it is still known in Italy as Eupatorio ; shar-
