[1882] It has been suggested that this plant is the same as the Lamium, mentioned in B. xxii. c. 16, but Fée is not of that opinion. He identifies the Galeopsis with the Lamium purpureum of Linnæus, the Purple arch-angel, or dead-nettle. Littré gives as its synonym the Scrofularia peregrina of Linnæus, the Foreign figwort.
[1883] Fée thinks that it may possibly be the Astragalus glaux of Linnæus, or Milk vetch, as originally suggested by Clusius. Littré gives as its synonym the Sennebierra coronopus of Poireau.
[1884] The “Good milk” plant.
[1885] See B. xviii. cc. 19, 20.
[1886] See B. xx. c. 78, where a similar plant is mentioned. Fée identifies this plant with the Glaucium hybridum, or Chelidonium of Linnæus, the Violet-coloured celandine, or horned poppy. Littré gives the Glaucium flavum of Linnæus as its synonym.
[1887] This is a yellow, acrid, caustic juice; it is no longer used in medicine.
[1888] The Peony; described in B. xxv. c. 10.
[1889] See B. xx. c. 25, and B. xxii. c. 2.
[1890] See B. xxv. c. 10.
[1891] In reality it is destitute of smell.
