[432] The dog-bur. The Lappa tomentosa of Lamarck. See B. xxvi. c. 65.
[433] See c. 95 of this Book.
[434] Or hartwort; see B. xx. cc. 18, 87.
[435] The Tordylium officinale of Linnæus, officinal hart-wort.
[436] “Grass.” The Triticum repens, or Paspalum dactylon of Linnæus, our couch-grass.
[437] This is probably quite a different production, being the Parnassia palustris, according to Dodonæus; but Fée is inclined to think that it is the Campanula rapunculus of Linnæus, bell-flower or rampions.
[438] Fée thinks that this applies to the plant of Parnassus, and not to the common Gramen.
[439] This property, Fée says, is still attributed to couch-grass.
[440] “Draconum.” A peculiar kind of serpent. See Lucan’s Pharsalia, B. ix. ll. 727-8.
[441] No such variety is known.
