smalache = Any of several kinds of celery or parsley; esp. wild celery, Apium graveolens, formerly used medicinally and to flavour food.
coperas = A name given from early times to the protosulfates of copper, iron, and zinc (distinguished as blue, green, and white copperas respectively); etymologically it belonged properly to the copper salt; but in English use, when undistinguished by attribute or context, it has always been most commonly, and is now exclusively, applied to green copperas, the proto-sulfate of iron or ferrous sulfate (Fe SO4), also called green vitriol, used in dyeing, tanning, and making ink.
