A DICTIONARY OF 
p. 52. ‘The long, woody root’ of Trifolium alpinum, L., another 
leguminous plant, ‘ is chewed by the shepherds of the Pyrenees under 
the name of reglisse.^ Hooker’s Journ. of Botany, v. 347. 
Liquorice-vetch. Apparently a quite recent book-name for Astra- 
galus glycypTiyllus, L., given by Prior (p. 136). 
Liquory-knots. Roots of Lathyrus macrorrliizus, Wimm. — Beriv. 
‘ Schoolboys in Berwickshire call the roots liquory-knots, for, when 
dried, the taste of them is not unlike that of the real liquorice.’ Bot. 
E. Bord. p. 57. ‘ This is deemed by the Ulster Irish a sort of liquorice, 
and is used for the same purposes as liquorice by the Highlanders.’ 
Threlkeld. 
Liquory Stick. Ononis arvensis, L. — Hal. Roxhurglish. (Kelso), 
Liquor Stick, Science Gossip, 1876, p. 39. See Liquorice, Wild. 
Liricon-fancy, or Liry-confancy. Convallaria majalis, L. — Lyte. 
Hal. and Wr. give Liricumfancy. ‘A corruption of Lat. lilium 
coiivalUum.’ Prior, p. 136. 
[Lithewale. ‘ The herb gromwell.’ Hal. Wr. This is probably a 
misprint for Little Wale, a name assigned to Lithospermum officinale, 
L., in Ger. Appx., whence so many of Hal.’s names are taken; and 
this again may be a misprint for Lichwale, which see.] 
Lithewort. An A.S. plant-name about which there seems to be 
some confusion. Cockayne (ii. 398) assigns it to Sambucus Ehulus, L. 
Hal. and4Wr. refer it to ‘the plant forget-me-not,’ an insufficient 
identification, as several plants are called Forget-me-not, — and the 
former adds : ‘ The term is still sometimes used ’ — but of this we can 
find no trace. Prior (p. 136) has Lithy-tree, which we have not 
elsewhere met with, as a name for Viburnum Lantana, L., and this 
may be a form of the same name, though Cockayne says F. Lantana 
was never known as Lithewort.

Live-in-idleness. Viola tricolor, L. — Ger., Buddie MS. 
Livelong. (1) Sedum Telephium, L. — Wr. Norf. ‘The people 
of the country delight much to set it in pots and shelles on Midsomer 
even, or upon timber slattes or trenchers dawbed with clay, and so to 
set or hang it up in their houses, whereas it remayneth greene a 
long season and groweth, if it be somtimes over-sprinckled with 
water.’ Lyte, p. 39. ‘ A branch of the green leaves hung up in any
