¶ The Names.
Most Writers haue taken horned Poppie, especially that with red floures to be Glaucium: nei∣ther is this their opinion altogether vnprobable; for as 〈◊〉〈◊〉 saith, Glaucium hath leaues like those of horned Poppey, but 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, that is to say fatter, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, low, or lying on the ground, of a strong smell and of a bitter taste; the iuice also is much like in colour to Saffron. Now Lobel and Pena witnesse, that this horned Poppie hath the same kinde of iuice, as my selfe likewise can testi∣fie. Dioscorides saith that Glaucium groweth about Hierapolis, a citie in Syria; but what hinde∣reth that it should not bee found also somewhere else? 〈◊〉〈◊〉 things shew it hath a great affinity with Glaucium, if it be not the true and legitimate Glaucium of D oscorides. Howbeit the first is the Mecon 〈◊〉〈◊〉, or Papauer cor niculatum of the Antients, by the common consent of all late Wri∣ters: in English, Sea Poppie' and Horned Poppie: in Dutch, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 and Horne Heule: in the Germane Tongue, 〈◊〉〈◊〉: in French, Pauot 〈◊〉〈◊〉: in Spanish, Dormider a marina.
