Heartsease - a wild European pansy which typically has purple and yellow flowers. It has given rise to hybrids from which most garden pansies were developed. Known today as Johnny-jump-up. It was also called *Love-in-idleness,“ a definition which certainly agrees With the burden of the song in Misogonus (1560)..
