[Footnote 252: See note at end. Mr Gillett, of the Vicarage, Runham, Filby, Norwich, sends me these notes on the herbs for this Bathe Medicinable: --253 (2): “YARDEHOK = Mallow, some species. They are all more or less mucilaginous and emollient. If Yarde = _Virga_; then it is Marshmallow, or Malva Sylvestris; if yarde = erde, earth; then the rotundifolia. --254 (3): PARITORY is Pellitory of the wall, _parietaria_. Wall pellitory abounds in nitrate of potass. There are two other pellitories: ‘P. of Spain’--this is _Pyrethrum_, which the Spanish corrupted into _pelitre_, and we corrupted _pelitre_ into pellitory. The other, bastard-pellitory, is _Achillea Ptarmica_. --255 (4): BROWN FENNELLE = probably _Peucedanum officinale_, Hog’s fennel, a dangerous plant; certainly not _Anethum Graveolens_, which is always dill, dyle, dile, &c. --259 (8): RYBBEWORT, _Plantago lanceolata_, mucilaginous. --260 (9): HEYHOVE = _Glechoma hederacea_, bitter and aromatic, abounding in a principle like camphor. --261 (10): HEYRIFF = harif = _Galium Aparine_, and allied species. They were formerly considered good for scorbutic diseases, when applied externally. Lately, in France, they have been administered internally against epilepsy. --263 (12): BRESEWORT; if = brisewort or bruisewort, it would be _Sambucus Ebulus_, but this seems most unlikely. --265 [_unlabeled, 1 on next page_] BROKELEMPK = brooklime. _Veronica Beccabunga_, formerly considered as an anti-scorbutic applied externally. It is very inert. If a person fed on it, it might do some good, i.e. about a quarter of the good that the same quantity of water-cress would do. --267 [_unlabeled_] BILGRES, probably = henbane, _hyoscysmus niger_. Compare Dutch [Du. _Bilsen_, Hexham,] and German _Bilse_. _Bil_ = byle = boil, modern. It was formerly applied externally, with marsh-mallow and other mucilaginous and emollient plants, to ulcers, boils, &c. It might do great good if the tumours were unbroken, but is awfully dangerous. So is _Peucedanum officinale_. My Latin names are those of Smith: _English Flora_. Babington has re-named them, and Bentham again altered them. I like my mumpsimus better than their sumpsimus.”] [Footnote 253: ‘The common Mallowe, or the tawle wilde Mallow, and the common Hockes’ of Lyte’s Dodoens, 1578, p. 581, _Malua sylvestris_, as distinguished from the _Malua sativa_, or “_Rosa vltramarina_, that is to say, the Beyondesea Rose, in Frenche, _Maulue de iardin_ or _cultiuée_ ... in English, Holyhockes, and great tame Mallow, or great Mallowes of the Garden.” The “Dwarffe Mallowe ... is called _Malua syluestris pumila_.”] [Footnote 254: Peritory, _parietaria_, _vrseolaris_, _vel astericum_. Withals.]
