The first is called in Latine, Stellaria; as also Carduus Stellatus, and likewise Carduus Calcitrapa; but they are deceiued, who take it to be Eryngium, or Sea-〈◊〉〈◊〉, or any kinde thereof. Matthiolus saith that it is called in Italian Calcatrippa: in high Dutch, Dallen distel: in low Dutch, Sterre distell: in French, 〈◊〉〈◊〉: in English, Star-Thistle.
S. Barnabies Thistle is called in Latine 〈◊〉〈◊〉 spina, because it floureth in the Sommer Sol∣stice,
as Gesner saith, or rather because after the Solstice the prickles thereof be sharpest: of Guillan∣dinus, Eryngium, but not properly, and Stellaria 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Augerij, who with good successe gaue it against the stone, dropsies, greene sicknesse, and quotidian feuers. It is called in English as aboue said, Saint Barnabies Thistle.
