groweth,and there they call it Sier montane, InLatineit is alio called Liguflicnm but not LeviBicum, which is 
our Lovage much differing from this as may foonebedifeerned.- but this isalfothe fame that Matthiolus calleth 
Liguflicum, and after him Lugdutterfi Cajler Turantes and others. Tragus,Lobel, ‘Dcdor.zus and C/a/rw call it 
Siler montanum as was ufedinthe Apothecaries Shoppes, and Sifelios alio, becaufe in former times they knew 
none of the true Sejelies,but as Label faith this errour was tolleraMe, becaufe they tooke a feede that had more 
fharpeneffe and was of more efScacie then Sefeli, although as Gefner faith it is like none of the Sefelies, C.tfalpi.
