I finding it better to agree with B/attaria, than any otherplant,have putit underthat tribe,and have given it an Englith name, Hoary Candy Moth Mullein with roundpointed leaves, Bavhinusin his according to the reft of the Blatt zrias Pinar calleth it Verbaftum humile (retieum laciniatum, and the Italian Pona,Verbalcum frutico{umauriculatum. Columma faith it was fent unto him with the name of Afarum Creticum, but he calleth it Verbafcum Braffica folio.and referreth it to that Verbafcum of Diofcorides, that hath the leafe of a Colewort. The eighth Perainhis Italian Balas calleth Arturfecundafpecies, The ninth Bashinus calleth Verbalcum folys (ubrotundss flore Blattaria,and 1 in Englifh Round leafed Moth Mallein The laft is called in Candy Galaftivida quafi latiea Hivida,as Honorius Bellns faith, that fent it to Clufias (but Bauhious calleth it Glaftivida) who thereupon finding theleayes to be like unto Sea Stockgilloflower, called it Lexcoium Jpi uofum Creticum, but withallfaith itis in flower differing ftom them, becanfe all the kindes of Stockgilloflowers have but foure leaves in every flower, and this hath five. Some others therefore would give ita more proper name as they thinke, and call it Verbaltum frute[cens fhinofum Creticum incanum, from the hoarineffe of the leayesand flalkes; but Ithinkeit may morefitly be raunged with the Blattarinus,as 1 faid before, for the reafons there expire fed, in Englith Thorny Moth Mullein of Candy, The Vertues.
