An attempt, expect mistakes:
Certain authors confirm that anagallum is herba venti. Diascorides agrees with them and says that this herb (per se quod ita??) is called like that because its leaves are always moving like the trembling of leaves on a tree, and because in the wind they move and tremble. Therefore it is called herba venti instead of ??? anagallum.
Hello Koen, I read it slightly differently. I think "s; D 9...9" could be "sed D contrarius". The chapter could be about "herba venti".
quidam auctores affirmant anagallum esse herba venti sed D contrarius est eis et dicit esse herba per se quam ita vocant quod eius folia semper se movent sic folia arboris tremuli et quod per ventum se movent et tremulant ideo dicitur herba venti. loco eius potest poni anagallum
some authors say Anagallum is "the Wind plant" but D is against them and says it is a plant of its own, so called because its leaves always move like the leaves of a trembling tree; since they move and tremble because of the wind, it is called "the Wind Plant". In its place, Anagallum can be put [i.e. used]
