¶ The Names.

The bastard or wilde Hempes, especially those of the water, are commonly called Hepatorium Cannabinum: of diuers also Eupatorium, Leonhar. Fuchsius nameth it Eupatorium Adulterinum: of most, Cannabina, of the likenesse it hath with the leaues of Cannabis, Hempe, and Eupatorium Aui∣cennae. It is thought also to be that which Baptista Sardus doth terme Terzola in high-Dutch, S. 〈◊〉〈◊〉 kraut; that is to say in Latine, Sanctae Cunigundae herba, S. Cunigunds herbe: in Low∣Dutch, Boelkens kruit: in English, Water Hempe, Bastard and water Agrimonie. It is called Hepatorium, of the 〈◊〉〈◊〉, being good for Hepar, the liuer. ‡ I haue named the second Common Dutch Agrimonie, because it is commonly vsed for Agrimonie in the shops of that countrey. ‡
