The Names.

IT is called in Greek 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, but whether it be 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, or 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 there is some diversity of opinions amongst Authors. Most of the best sort take it to be 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, of Discorides; in Latin Lotus sa∣tius or Ʋrbana, yet Matthiolus taketh it to be 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, Lotus silves∣tris, and so do Anguillara and Castor Durantes: but Fuschius saith, that the Greeks call it 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, and the Latins Frifolium Odoratum, which is the name by which it is best known, both in Latin, and English. For if it be gathered and kept dry in the house, it doth in some sort retain the scent, it had growing; but a∣gainst rainy weather, it smelleth so strong, that some have desired to lay it in their Chamber, to be as it were their Almanack, to shew them the weather. It is called of many women now a dayes Balsam, for the Singular healing pro∣perties it hath.
