A DICTIONARY OF 
(2) Tragojpogon pratensis, L. — Yks. Its blossoms close about twelve 
at noon. 
Clock-needle. Scandix Pecten, L. — S. Bucks. 
Clock-seaves, or sives. (1) Juncus aciitiflorus, Ehrb. — Cumh. 
(Winderwatb) ; Yks. 
(2) Schoenus nigricans^ L. — North, Grose, Hal. j E. Yks. Marshall, 
E. D. S. Gloss. B. 2. 
Clodweed. (1) Filcigo germanica, L. — B. Bucks. 
(2) Scabiosa arvensis, L. — S. Bucks. 
Cloffing. ‘ The plant hellebore.’ — Hal. Mr. Cockayne (Leechdoms, 
ii. 71, 377, and iii. 319) understands by this Ranunculus sceleratus, L., 
but some Hellebore is probably intended. See Clove-tongue. 
Clog. Gerard gives this name for the cone of Pinus Pinea, L. : ‘ in 
English pine aj^ple, clogge, and cone.’ 
Clog-weed. (1) Heracleum Spliondylium, L. — Glou. (or Cow C.). 
(2) Scabiosa arvensis, L. — S. Bucks. Prior, p. 48. 
Close Sciences. Hesperis mcitroncdis, L. — Ger. ‘In the West parts 
of this island, from whence I had the double kinds, as I am enformed 
they call it double sciney, and the single close sciney, but Gerard saith 
close sciences.’ — Park. Theatr. p. 628. Sciney is doubtless a corrupt 
contraction of damascena, the old specific name of the plant. Prior, 
p. 48. 
Closs. Juncus acutijlorus, Ehrh., and J. lamproccirpus, Ehrh. — 
Cumb. 
Clot, or Clote. Nupliar liitea, Sm. — Dev. Dors. ‘Chaucer has 
clote-lefe, 16,045, explained the leaf of the burdock, although the pre- 
sent meaning best^ suits the context. See Gerard, p. 674, D. Cloten, 
Walter de Bibblesworth, MS, Arundel, 220.’ Thus far Hal. Wr. 
also assigns the name to Nuphar, and quotes a MS. Med. Rec. xv. 
cent., which begins ‘ Take the rote of the Mote,’ and Lupton (Notable 
Things) — ‘ lay a c?oi-leaf or else a wort-leaf,’ &c. In this last refer- 
ence the burdock {Arctium Lappa) may be intended : this plant is 
called clote and clote-bur in Lyte, and clote in Prompt. Parv. (followed 
by Prior, p. 48), and in Cockayne, ii. 376, elate, where it is extended 
(incorrectly ?) to Galium Aparine, L. Mr. Cockajme’s statement that 
Asperula odorata ‘is not a bur plant’ is incorrect. Mascal (Govern- 
ment of Cattell) mentions the water-clot, ‘ which hath a broad leaf on 
the water ’ (p. 222), probably meaning Nuphar, but not Nymphcea, as 
the ‘water-Hly’ is sejDarately mentioned. In Cockajme, iii. 318, all 
the above-named plants are placed under elate.
