14 The Waterlilies.mention of Nelumbo under the name of lotus, and the earliest Latinor Greek record of a blue Egyptian lotus. Nelumbo is frequently mentionedelsewhere by Athenaeus, once again under the name of lotus,but more often as xtfttbpiov, xuapoz atyunuoz, or xolozaoiu (Bk. 3, ch. 2).Hesays, at variance with all other writers, that the Egyptians call this plantlotus, but quotes the other names from Nicander, Theophrastus, DiphilustheSiphnian, and Phylarchus.Galenus adds nothing to the facts and theories of his predecessorsconcerning these plants. He recognizes three kinds of lotus (Bk. 7,ch. 11), the herb, the tree and the Egyptian lotus (Nymphaea), andone with black rhizomes and onetwo kinds of Nymphaea (Bk. 7, ch. 13),with white these ; correspond with Dioscorides' descriptions of Nymphaeaalba and Nuphar. He simply mentions Nelumbo, under the name of/aba Aegyptia (Bk. 1, ch. 20).From this time onward we find nothingof note for our scienceuntil it revived with the Revival of Learning. William Turner in 1548gives this quaint note in his catalogue of *' The Names of Herbes :"Nymphea is also named in greeke nymphaia & madonais & is called inenglish water Roses, & some with the Potecaries cal it nenufar. The duch mecal thys herbe Seeblumen. Boeth the kyndes of water Roses growe in standyngwaters."Mr. Britten (cf. Turner, 1 548, p. 1 30) has identified " boeth the kyndes "lutea Sm.as Nymphaea alba L. and NupharThree years later Fuchsius and Hieronymus Bock (Tragus)inGermany publishedtheir botanical classics. The former has a rudewoodcut of the white waterlily with the Latin name Nymphaea Candidaand the Greek Nu/ifaia huxy.On the next page occurs "Nymphaealutea" with a figure which identifies it with Nuphar.Tragus goes into the subject much more extensively and showsThere are two kinds of " Seeblumen,"evidences of personal observation.the white and the yellow, of which the former is commoner. He comparesthe flower of this to a beautiful double {gefult) lilyor rose, with eachpetal shaped like one's thumb ;and in the midst of the flower is agolden yellow sun (ein schone goltgale Sonneri),and it is odorless. Hedescribes the shape of the bud, and itsgreen "outer leaves." Thebroad, round, disc-like foliage leaves, he says, are stiff and leathery,and grow on smooth hollow {lucken) stems. His figures are quite crudebut recognizable, the " Weiss Seebluomen " as Nymphaea alba, the other"
Historical. *5as Nuphar. A longlist of common names isgiven Wasser : Gilgen,Haarwurz, Haarstrang, Nenuphar in apothecary books, Clavus Veneris,Digitus Veneris, Alga palustris, Papaver palustre. The account of themedicinal virtues of these plants does not materially differ from thosepreviously given.Matthiolus, in his Commentary on Dioscorides (1554), transcribesthe chapter on Nymphaea from that writer with numerous slight verbalFig. 4."Faba Aegyptla.'facsimile from Mftttliiotas.Fig. 5." Nymphaea alba.'Facsimile from Lobelias.changes. He understands " Nymphaea " to signify our N. alba, andgives " Nymphaea altera," also called " blephara," for Nuphar. Thetwo are figured side by side in rude but quite recognizable cuts ;butthese may have been inserted by C. Bauhin, whose notes were addedto the original in the edition which I have seen. On the identity ofthe Egyptian Nymphaea and Nelumbo, Matthiolus was hopelessly atsea ;for Nelumbo had been so long extinct inEgypt that nothingcould be found there to correspond with the descriptions given by theclassic writers.So, after much weighing of evidence, our author invented
