Lousewort not a common name
I've removed the common name lousewort (and also "wild hop", which I can find no sources for outside of Wikipedia scrapers). Lousewort does appear as a common name in a number of recent websites, books and scholarly articles. However, none of the results for lousewort in the context of S. officinalis on Google Scholar or Google Books are earlier than 1985 (and most are far more recent). Association of the name lousewort with S. officinalis may be a recent error that has been perpetuated through the literature on herbal medicines. Betony is a common name used for plants in two genera, Stachys and Pedicularis. Lousewort has a long history as a common name for Pedicularis species. It appears that using lousewort for Stachys stems from confusion generated by using Betony as a common name for the two genera. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Plantdrew (talk • contribs)
