Turn. Herb. Ger. figures this plant as English Cudweede^ but applies 
the name generally to species of Gnaplial.ium and allied plants, in 
which sense it is used in modern books. Lyte erroneously transfers 
Turner’s names to Diotis maritima, Cass. Prior (p. 59) assigns the 
name to Filago germanica, L., and Gnajplialium uUginosum, L.

Cudwort. Filago germanica, L. — Turn. Names. Mascal (in the 
Government of Cattle, 1662, p. 40) speaks of this as a plant ‘ which 
they bruise small and put a quantity of fat thereunto, and so convey 
it into the beast’s mouth to swallow that hath lost his guide, and so he 
will amend.’ See Q,uidwort for another passage illustrating this 
meaning. Ray gives a similar explanation : ‘ Herba impia jumentis 
ruminantibus utile existimatur ad rumen amissum revocandum, unde 
et nomen Cudweed apud nostrates indeptum est.’ — R. Cat.

Culrage, or Culerage (Turn. Lib., Hal. Wr.). Polygonum Hydro-

In Prompt. Parv. it is spelt Culrache and Culratche. Prior, p. 59. 
Culverfoot. ‘ A plant.’ — Wr. In Lupton’s Book of Notable 
Things (ix. 14) the ‘juice of cidverfooV is mentioned as possessing 
healing properties. Prior (p. 60) thinks ‘ the dove’s-foot crane’s-bill. 
Geranium columhinum, L.,’ is here intended. In Cockajme, iii. 320, 
culverfoot is explained as G. molle, L., and as this is the crane’s-bill 
more usually known as dove’s-foot, this explanation is probably the 
true one.

(2) Aquilegia vulgaris, L., the flowers of which ‘do seeme to

the name to this plant, and adds ‘ culver being columba, and the little 
flowrets like keys'
