Bauhin, under the name of _lanaria veterum_; and the latter made it first known in his Pinax Plant. iv. p. 206. The former described it himself, and gave a bad engraving of it, in Hist. Nat. p. 871. Löffling found this plant on the Spanish mountains, as well as in the neighbourhood of Aranjuez; and he relates, that in the province of La Mancha the people boil clothes that are to be washed with the root of this plant _instead of soap_. Linnæus did not hesitate to declare the _struthium_ of the ancients and the _struthium_ of his system to be the same plant; and he gave his countrymen reason to hope that their _Gypsophila fastigiata_, which has a great resemblance to it, might be employed in the like manner.--Amœnitat.

[266] I here mean that it got its name from being employed to clean that piece of armour, formerly used, which covered only the breast and the back, and which was called a _koller_.
