NoTABLE PLANT-NAMES 259 
Among the plants significant in Macer (see pp. 205-7), Circa 
instans bears the following comparison : 
Strignum and Maurella of Macer for Solanum nigrum occur 
as Strignum, Morella, Faba inversa, or Solatrum; in Sec., Strig- 
num, Morelle. 
Boracho does not recur; the nearest like being durit for Sapo- 
naria officinalis L..(the dorith of the Alphita); and dorrago for borage. 
Brassica does not occur as the accepted name for cabbage, 
but Caules instead (as Caulis in Macer); Rappa (rape), Nappa 
(turnip) and Rapistrum occur for other species; one kind of cab- 
bage appears as Caradie, in Sec. Carambia, renewal of its Greek 
name xpdy37. But interesting testimony to the survival of Macer's 
Brassica still as popular name for cabbage occurs with no. 469. 
“Strucium, id est, Caulis agrestis, Quidam dicunt ‘ Braxica non 
plantata,”—.Sec., does not contain this. The French Grant Herbier 
has “Strucium,” or ‘Choul sauvage,” Pietro Crescenzi has “‘ Stutio 
cioe cauolino salvatico.”’ 
Faratella occurs again but seems transferred from a Rumex to 
an Abrus, and is given the synonyms patella herba and dasilica. 
The Sinonimia has ‘‘ Aurigea = Paradella.” : 
Lolium perenne, L. Italicum, etc., are called Lolium and in 
Sec., “ Lolium est yvraie”’ to which a gloss adds that is properly 
loeil. The Sinonimia has “ Zizania = lolium.” 
Agrimonia, confused by a Pseudo-Macer with Argemonia, here 
occurs as now for Agrimonia Eupatoria L., and so in Sec., with 
name Agrimoine. 
Among other noteworthy names of special interest we add: 
Hepatica triloba 1. appears as “ Zrinitas, unitas, idem est; 
herba similis asarum, et habet tria folia in uno folio;” in Sec. 
“Trinite ou unité, c'est tout ung.” The Zpatica of Circa 
instans, as of more ancient authorities, appears to be Marchantia. 
Physalis Alkekengi L. appears as ‘ Solatrum majus or Al- 
chechengi, fructus ejus simulatur serasie (cherry) que fit intus 
quedam vesica.”’ 
Parietaria officinalis L. appears as “ Parietaria,’ or “ Vitreola 
quia vitres vasa ea optime mundantur.” 
Rhus coriaria L. a pears as “ Sumac, the seed of a shrub or 
tree which the Greeks call Anagoda.”
