- These are the weeds that grow in the land: the buachallán, dogleaf, thistle, nettle, rushes, chickenweed and the felistrium. These are the weeds that grow in poor land: the rushes, the felistrium. Nettles are good for fowl and rushes are good for thatching and bedding. Where rushes and daisies grow is the sign of good land and where thistles and clover grow is the sign of good land. The yellow root is used for poisoning fish by leaving it in lime for a day. Dogleaf is rubbed to a burn of a nettle.
