Thanks again, Johnna, for all the input. 

Here are some further links.

The marginal note in the Moffett text seems to refer to Pisanelli:

   and

But as far as I can see, Pisanelli speaks about lemons.

Another edition (1586) is online here, via a very slow server:

The Nostradamus confectionary is online with Gallica. (I have not seen either translation, you have mentioned.)

> Plant names are hell.

I was alluding to Bertrand Russell's "Logic's hell". If Russell would have dealt with limes and their ancient names,  ...

I guess, next steps would include looking up old herbals and their images.
