My lady, Gerard (1597) lists it, although he calls it "featherfew."   I
have on "Early American Gardens" which documents that they are the same
thing.  It's listed as a "women's" herb, good for childbirth and other
female "complaints."  I only took a cursory glance through the "Newe
Iewell of Health" but didn't find it.  (I've got to try some of those
cough drops...)
