Teasel is also called xaA'a'^«tt»' (Diosc. iii. 11), and hence arises a certain confusiou between it and the x«A''^e'<'' f^evKos and pieKas of Diosc. iii. 8, 9. ' E. P.

The suggestion there made (p. 124) that fawthistelle might represent A. S.fah\iistel (coloured thistle) would suit the descrip- tion maculas albas in foliis and also the name Carduus varius. Cf.
