Pempt. of Dodon. his Latine Herball, whence our Authour tooke those words that were formerly in this place, though he did not well vnderstand nor expresse them ‡. It is called Viola Autumnalis, or Autumne Violet, and seemeth to bee the same that 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Cordus doth call Pneumonanthe, which he saith is named in the Germane tongue 〈◊〉〈◊〉, or Lung-floure: in English, Autumne Bel-floures, Calathian Violets, and of some, Haruest∣bels.
