Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Names of Herbes
Turner often includes several different plants under the same head ing but I have thought this plan the easiest for facilitating refer ence. A few blanks will be found in the second column; they indicate that I have been unable to ascertain satisfactorily the modern name of the plants to which Turner alludes. The third part is an index, similar to that in the Dictionary of English plant-names, in which the modern Latin names of the plants are given in alpha betical order, followed by the various English ones by which they are mentioned in the body of the work. In this way I hope I have rendered the information contained in the Names-of Herbes available for the use of all who may wish to obtain it.
