Joseph’s Flower. Tragopogon pratensis, L. — Lyte. E. Suss. Prior 
(p, 125) considers the name as referring to the Joseph of Old Testa- 
ment history, but Mr. J. C. Hare (Fragments of Two Essays in Eng- 
lish Philosophy) says it ‘ seems to owe its origin to the pictures in 
which the husband of Mary was represented as a long-bearded old

under the mistaken notion that it gave the meaning of Gilliflower : 
“ The curious choice clove July-flower.” ' 
Prior, p. 125. This error is frequently repeated in modern books, and 
Coles, speaking of (2), says, ‘ The chief time of their flourishing is in 
July, and therefore some will have them to be called July Flowers.* 
Markham, also (Country House-wife’s Garden, p. 91, 1637), says, ‘I 
call them so, because they flower in July.’ He says ‘ the best sort of 
them are called Queene July -flowers* 
(3) Cheiranthus Cheiri, L. — ‘ July-flowers of the wall, or Wall-July- 
flowers ... or Winter-July-flowers, because growing in the walles,

munis, L. — Lyte. E. Bord. Bot. E. Bord. ; Aherdeensh. The name is 
used figuratively : ‘ Bishop Grouthead offended thereat, wrote Pope 
Innocent IV. a juniper letter, taxing him with extortion and other 
vicious practices.’ Fuller’s Church History, Book iii. (1254). ‘A 
juniper lecture,’ meaning a round scolding bout, is still in use among 
the canting gentry. N. & Q. 1st S. ix. 224. Prior, p. 125.
