PATIENCE. 
Patience Dock .— Rumex patientia . 
“ Aux malheurex, la patience.” 
Malozuvre. 
“ Have patience.” 
This emblem is derived from the specific 
name of the plant, which is also frequently 
called monk’s rhubarb, it being often used by 
them of old both as a pot-herb and a medici¬ 
nal plant. Mortimer says, 
“ Patience, an herb, makes a good boiled salad.”
