The Names.

IT is called in Greek 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Coronopus, from the similitude it hath with the foot of a Crow, which name the Latines do hold, as also Cornu cervi or cervium, and Herba stella; both of them from the posture of the Leaves. It is called Sanguinaria or Sanguinalis, and Harenaria; the first from its verture in stopping blood, and the last from the place of its growing: We in English call it Bucks-horne, Harts-horne, and Bucks-horne Plantaine, because the Spiky heads, are like those of Plantaine.
