Hay otra yerba que llaman cuanacaquílitl; quiere decir "yerba que comen las gallinas de Castilla". Éstas son las cerrajas de Castilla. Dicen que no las había en esta tierra antes que viniesen los españoles, y agora hay tantas que toda la tierra está llena dellas.
\nY como la semilla tiene alas y voela, hase multiplicado por todas partes.
\nHay cebollas pequeñitas en esta tierra que se llama xonácatl.\nTienen el comer de las cebolletas de España. Éstas plántaslas y son hortenses.
\nHay otras cebolletas silvestres que se hacen por esos campos, y queman mucho.
\nHay otras cebollitas silvestres que se llaman maxten. Tallecen y florecen. Son desabridas. La raíz o la cabeza déstas cómenla cocida. Nacen muchas juntas, y de aquí sale un adagio que dicen a los que engendran muchos hijos: son maxtenpilhua.
\nHay otra yerba que se llama papaloquílitl. Es olorosa y sabrosa. Tiene las hojas redondas. Hácese en tierras calientes.
\nHay otra yerba que se llama ayauhtona. Hácese por los campos y por los montes. Es semejante a la de arriba dicha. Es silvestre y aoecopadilla y baxa. Florece, y las flores della son olorosas.
