¶ The Names.
The Holly Rose is called in Greeke 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, or 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉: in Latine also Cistus, and Rosa syluatica: of di∣uers, Rosa Canina, as Scribontus Largus writeth, but not properly: in Spanish, Estepa: of the Portu∣gals, Rosella: in English, Holly Rose, and Cistus, after the Greeke name. The fungous excrescence growing at the root of Cistus, is called in Greeke 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, because it groweth vnder the shrub Ci∣stus: it is also called Limodoron: some call it 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉: among whom is 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Aegineta, who also doth not call that 〈◊〉〈◊〉 which groweth vnder the shrub Cistus, but the iuyce hereof; whereupon might grow the word Hypocistis, by which name the Apothecaries call this iuyce when it is hard∣ned: of some 〈◊〉〈◊〉 is called Erithanon, Citinus, and Hypoquistidos.
