¶ The Names.

The first is called Lathyrus, to make a difference betweene it and Lathyris, or Spurge: of Matthi∣olus, Clymenum: of Cordus, Eruum sativum: of Tragus, Pisum Graecorum: in English, Pease euer∣lasting, great wilde Tare, and Cichling.

‡ The second is the Evum album sativum of Fuchsius: Lathyrus or Cicercula of Dodonaeus: Lathy∣rus angustiore 〈◊〉〈◊〉 folio of Lobel.

The third is the Aracus siue Cicera of Dodonaeus: the Lathyrus slore purpurco of Camerarius.

The fourth by Clusius is called Cicercula Aegyptiaca: by Camerarius, Aracus Hispanicus, siue Lathy∣rus Aegyptiacus.

The 〈◊〉〈◊〉 is not mentioned by any (that I remember) but Mr. Parkinson, in his garden of floures, and that by the name I giue you it.

The sixth is the Lathyrus syluestris slo. luteis of Thalius: Legumenterrae glandibus 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of 〈◊〉〈◊〉: Vicia of Tabernamontanus: and it may be, the Aracus 〈◊〉〈◊〉 luteo of the Aduers. Howeuer, I haue put 〈◊〉〈◊〉 figure of Aracus for it, which well enough agrees with it. I vse for some resemblance it hath to Aphaca to call it Aphacoides.
