The Names.

SOme call these Rapunculi▪ and Rapuntia: Gesner Dodonaeus, and others call them Rapa Sylvestria, which though they have but little likenesse at all with Rapum the Turnep, but in the ediblenesse of the Root: yet the name is a diminutive thereof. Others call them Campanula, of the form of the Flowers, being like little Bells. Columna taketh Rapunculus minor, to be the E∣rinus of Nicander and Dioscorides; and the other Rapunculi, to be kinds thereof. Ma••hiolus taketh Campanula Persici folio, to be the Phyteuma of Dioscorides: and Casalpinus calleth the Rapunculus Spicatus sive Alepecuroides, Phyteuma foliis Ra∣punculi, chiefly, because the Heads with Seed, have holes in them, as Dioscorides saith, the Phyteuma hath. They are called in English, Rampions, some being Gar∣den Rampions, some wild Rampions, and some Bell-flowers.
