| notes: | Extensive note on common names (difficult to read in places): Eng. 'Toutsan' 'toute seine' (the oil in the leaves being a remedy for wounds). Welsh - 'Dail y Beiblau', 'Swine leaves' 'Park leaves' a name that seems like in Danish, Norwegian, Swedish synonym 'pirkum' or 'perkum', to have been suggested by 2 Hypericum...?...but taken in the sense or 'perked' or 'pricked' leaves, from that character in ? perforation. In French, ? 'par coeur' by least ?, - like the english name, - to have been suggested by the Latin, through an accidental coincidence of sound! |
