ENGLISH PLANT NAMES.

Banwood. Beilis iierennis, L. — Yks. Clevel. Gl. (Whitby), _ E. D. 
S. Gloss. C. 2. See Banwort. 
Banwort. (1) Beilis 'perermis, Ij . — Turner, Lib. ; F/i5. Clevel. 
Gl. ‘ The Northren men call this heibe a Bamuurt, because it helpeth 
bones to knyt agayne.’ — Turn. Herb, and Lib. Johnston, referring to 
this passage, says, ‘ This is good authority, but I cannot learn that 
Banwort is ever now so applied.’ — Bot. E. Bord., p. 103. See Daisy. 
(2) ‘A violet.’ — Dunelm. Hal. See Cockayne, ii. 371, where it is 
rightly considered an equivalent of Bonewort, and applied with doubt- 
ful accuracy to Viola lutea and V. lactea, and also to Erythrcea Cen- 
taurium and Solidago Virgaurea. In Cockayne, iii. 313, however, it is 
assigned to Cheiranthus Clieiri^ and another (and erroneous) derivation 
is given — viz., ‘a derivative of hana, a man-slayer, from the blood- 
stained colour of the petals ; whence the jdant is sometimes now called 
Bloody Warriors ; ’ the daisy is supposed to have shared the name on 
account of ‘ the petals being tinged with red.’ 
Bar. Hordeuin vulgar e, L. — Scotl. Jamieson. 
Barbara’s (St.) Herb (Gerard), or Herbe S. Barbe (Lyte), Barharea 
vulgaris, E. Br. S. Barbara’s Day falls in the winter (Dec. 4), and 
this herb was ‘ used in the winter season for salades ’ (Lyte) ; hence 
perhaps the name. The Dutch, Latin, and French names given by 
Ljde, etc. , are to the same effect, and do not support Grimm’s explan- 
ation as quoted by Prior, p. 201. 
Barbaryn. Berber is vulgaris, L. — Pr. Parv. * Hal. Wr. 
Barberry, or Berberry. Berheris vulgaris, L. (spelt in Hemnich 
Birberry), Lyte, p. 684; (fruit), Forby; Ches. ; S.-JV. Cumh.; 
Yks. (Northallerton) ; E. Bord. Bot. E. Bord. M. Lat. Berheris, from 
Ar. Barhdris. Prior, p. 14. 
Barber’s Brushes. Dipsacus sylvesfris, L. — Ess., Francis’ Little 
English Flora, p. 32. Wilts., Flower’s Flora of Wiltshire. 
Barbine. Convolvulus arvensis, L. — Bal. (Hanwood). See Bear-bind. 
Barboranne. Berheris vulgaris, L. — Gower. Hal. 
Bare-bind. — Prior, p. 17. See Bear-bind. 
Barfoot. Hellehorus foetidus, L. — Warw. : a corruption of Bearsfoot 
(which see). 
Bargeman’s Cabbage. Brassica campestris, L. — Bucks (by the 
Thames). 
Barley, Bare, Naked, or Wheat. H. vulgar e, var. gymnodisticlium.

Barley, Beare, Great, or Winter. H. vulgare, var. hexastichum . — 
Lyte. 
Barley, Common, Lesser, or Summer. Hordeum vulgare, L. — Lyte; 
Prior, p. 14. 
Barley, Mouse. Hordeum murinum, L. — Baxter. The name mouse 
is a translation of murinum, which has probably been given from some 
confusion between murinum and murale, the plant growing on and 
about walls.
