These comparatively rare names belong to the form-and-power naming catalogue, with calcarippa explicitly paired with consolida regalis. The work defers fuller explanation to a Herbarius. Retaining the names avoids inventing exact botanical identifications from a bare list. Their presence is lexical evidence of the catalogue’s breadth, not enough evidence to assign every plant a particular therapeutic role.
