of Agriculture. 
Langdebeef. ‘The herb bugloss.’ Hal. Wr. Prior (p. 132) and 
modern writers, following Gerard and Parkinson, refer this to Hel- 
minthia echioides, L., but it seems to have been originally applied to 
other plants having rough leaves similar to this, to which leaves the 
plant owes its name. Echium vidyare, L., appears to have been 
intended by Turner (Lib.) under this name (see Bugloss (1) ), and it 
is this plant which is still called langne de hoeuf in Central Prance 
(Boreau, Plore du Centre, i. 456, 1857), while an allied plant {Anchusa 
ifalica, Betz) is so called about Paris (Cosson and Germain, Flore des 
Environs de Paris (1861), p. 324). Turner (Lib.) also supposes 
officinalis, L. , to have been called by this name. It occurs in Tusser’s 
list of Kitchen-garden plants (E. D. S. Gloss. D., p. 93), and here 
probably refers to HelmintMa, the leaves of which were formerly 
used ‘for an herb for the pot among others.’ Park. Theatr. 488. Picris
