Galega. Goats Rue.
Some iudge that the old Physitions were wont to call it Onobrychis: others, Glauce: di∣uers would haue it to be Polemonium, but not so much Petr. And 〈◊〉〈◊〉 in his com∣mentaries, as euery one of the descriptions mentioned by Dioscorides do gainsay them; as also those, who thinke that Galega, is Poly∣galon, & that the name of Galega came of Poly∣galon, the very description also of Polygalon is against them: for Galega is higher and grea∣ter than that it may be called a little shrub onely of an hand bredth high.
