The Names.

THere is no Greek Name found for this Plant, It is called in Latine Ros Solis, of divers Rorella, and of Lobel Rorida, and of some Salsirora, and corruptly Rosa Solis, as we in English likewise do now and then. All which Names are put upon it from the Dew, which is alwayes upon it, but then especially, when the Sun is at the hottest. It is called in English Lust∣worth, because Sheep and other Cattle, if they do but only tast of it, are provoked to Lust. It is called also, Youthwort, and in the Northern parts of our Land, they call it the Red Rot, because as they think, their Sheep feeding thereon, run to rot; Some call it also Mooregrasse.
