Ranunculus montanus Pennai The great purple mountaine Crowfoote This great Crowfoote hath foure or five or more very large and hairy leaves rising from the roote set upon long hairy foote stalkes each whereof is devided into five or more parts deepely cut in unto the middle dented likewise about the edges and of a darke greene colour on the upper side and grayish or as it were hoary underneath among which riseth up a strong round hollow stalke hairy also about a yard high bearing a leafe onely at the top much divided and from thence spreadeth into three or foure or more small branches each sustaining a small leafe or two about which standeth the flower consisting of five round leaves of a purplish colour on the under side and about the edges of the inside but pure white on the rest of the inside having many yellow threds in the middle about a greene head which beareth many flattish and blackish browne sharpe pointed seede the roote is composed of many long fibres or strings and hairy at it were at the head thereof 3. Ranunculus Plantaginis folio Plantaine leafed Crowfoote This Pyrenean Crowfoote hath three or foure leaves rising from the roote set on pretty long footestalkes being somewhat long and broad like unto Plantaine leaves with ribs therein but more pointed at the ends not devided or dented about the edges but smooth and plaine with some veines running through the length of them and pointed at the ends of a whitish or grayish greene colour circled at it were with a white downe the stalke i◠round firme and greene about a foote and a halfe high bearing two or three longer leaves broad at the bottome and compassing the stalke which devideth it selfe at the top into two or three small branches having every of them a small long leafe at the foote thereof and a reasonable large flower at the head without any 〈◊〉 consisting of five white round pointed leaves with many yellowish threds in the middle and a round greene head which afterwards growing ripe hath many seedes set together like unto divers other sorts of Crowfoote Ranunculus Montanus humilior albus simplex duplex Single and doublecow white mountaine Crowfoote Ranunculus Montanus albus minor simplex The lesser single white mountaine Crowfoot the roote is composed of many white strings or fibres fastned to a head which is somewhat hairy and abideth many yeares but the leaves perish quite in the end of Summer and are renewed in the spring 4. Ranunculus Pyrenaeus albus duplex Double white Crowfoote of the Pyrenean hills This Crowfoote differeth little from the last but in the flowers which are not so many together and consist of two rowes of white leaves 5. Ranunculus montanus Betonicae foliis Mountaine Crowfoote with Betony like leaves This small Crowfoote hath divers leaves rising from the roote somewhat broad and long full of small veines which make it seeme rugged every one upon a little short footestalke roundly dented about the edges and round at the point or end very like unto the leaves of Betony but that they are smaller of a brownish greene colour on the upper side and of a silver white shining colour underneath the slender hayrie stalke that riseth up in the middle of those leaves doth scarse exceede the length of ones hand bare or naked without any leaves unto the top where it beareth one flower onely like unto the last described single Crowfoote but smaller consisting of five small white leaves pointed at the ends with some yellow threds in the middle having five small greene leaves under it as a huske wherein it is set the seede is conteined in a small rough head like unto other Crowfeete the roote is a small tuft of white Fibres somewhat like unto the roote of Betony the whole plant both leaves and rootes are bitter with an exceeding austere or astringent binding taste whereby it is judged not to be hurtfull or offensive but rather acceptable to the stomacke and may be profitable for moyst and cold diseases thereof 6. Ranunculus graminaeus bulbosus The bulbed grasseleafed Crowfoote This bulbed grasseleafed Crowfoote hath divers very long and narrow smooth grayish greene leaves somewhat hairy at the bottome and with some long veines therein from among which riseth up a slender stalke about a foote high with two small long leaves thereon not branched at all but bearing out of a small huske of five greene parts one small faire shining yellow flower like unto other Crowfeete as is the seede also being many set together on a long head and every one pointed with a crooked end the roote is somewhat round at the bottome with a long necke upward covered with a blackish hairy coate or covering with divers thicke and round Fibres growing underneath thicker at the ends then at the heads with some small hairy fibres at the end of them within that outer hairy coate is found a round bulbous roote like unto that of Gladiolus or Corne Flagge the one set upon the other which was the elder and seemed as it were shrunke 7. Ranunculus gramineus perfoliatus Thorough leafed grasse Crowfoote This small thorough leafed grasse Crowfoote sendeth forth from a small fibrous roote divers narrow grayish greene grassie leaves about two inches long yet somewhat broader then the last from the middle of whom riseth up the stalke scarse higher then the leaves having two long leaves about the middle thereof broad at the bottome and compassing the stalke like unto that small kind of yellow Centory that hath his name from that effect which brancheth it false at the top bearing two or three very small greenish yellow flowers consisting of five broad leaves somewhat foulded inward and not layd fully open the head of seede is small but like unto Ranunculus nemorosus Thalictri Rutaceo folio Medow Rue and Garden Rue leafed Crowfoote Ranunculus Thalictri folio minor Asphodeli radicibus Colombine leafed Crowfoot with Asphodill rootes Ranunculus gramineus flore luteo simplici duplici Yellow grasse Crowfoot single and double Ranunculus montanus maximus albus The great white mountaine Crowfoote the grasse Crowfoote described in my former Booke Folij latiusculis Of this kinde there is another whose leaves are somewhat broader and the flowers more spread open and with sharper ends 8.

XXVII Scorsonera Vipers Grasse ALthough I have set forth in my former Booke two sorts of Scorsonera or Vipers Grasse which are the Spannish kinde and the low purple kinde yet because there are some others that Clusius and others have made mention of and some also not yet published by any I thinke it meete to declare all those not spoken of before in this place and Chapter 1. Scorsonera major Pannonica latifolia The greater Hungarian broad leafed Vipers Grasse This greater Hungarian Vipers grasse is very like unto the Spanish kinde in all things almost the leaves hereof are more in number that rise from the head of the roote as broad and long as they but not crumpled about the edges nor of that grayish greene colour but smooth and of a darke or evill greene colour this hath two or three stalkes rising up among the leaves and sometimes but one according as the roote hath encreased into severall heads having some lesser leaves upon them and at the top a scaly somewhat long greene head from the middle whereof groweth the like double yellow flower as the Spanish kinde hath and the like seede also lying in such downy substance neither of them to be well discerned the one from the other after they have growne any time in the garden together the roote also is long and great spreading into many branches and shooting forth into divers heads from the upper part thereof blackish on the outside and white and pleasant within as the other yeelding milke in every part in the same manner also abiding many yeares and not perishing after seede time as the Goates beards doe whereof all these are accounted as kindes 2. Scorsonera humilis latifolia Pannonica The dwarfe Hungarian Vipers grasse This dwarfe or low Scorsonera shooteth forth not so many long leaves but almost as broad as the last somewhat stiffer and shorter and of the same greene colour from among which riseth up one firme but hollow and shortstalke not above an handbredth high bearing some few small and short leaves thereon and a yellow flower out of the like greene scaly head but shorter than the other with the like seede therein also the roote is blacke without and whitewithin yeelding milke as the other doth 3. Scorsonera minor angustifolia Pannonica The small Hungarian Vipers grasse This small Vipers grasse hath long and very narrow greene leaves very like the leaves of Tragopogon or Goates beard but shorter and not so many the stalkes are slenderer and much lower then the first bearing smaller and more single flowers upon them then it and lesser seede but like in all other respects lying in such downe the roote likewise is long and blacke without and white within but smaller and slenderer never growing to be halfe so great neither yeeldeth such store of milke as the other doth 1. Scorsonera major Pannonica latifolia The greater Hungarian broad leafed Vipers grasse 5. Scorsonera tuberosa radice The smallest Spanish Vipers grasse 2. 3. Scorsonera humilis latifolia angustifolia The greater low and the lesser tall Hungarian Vipers grasse 4. Scorsonera elatior angustifolia Pannonica Tall narrow leafed Purple Vipers grasse The taller purple Vipers grasse hath many such like narrow long leaves as the last and longer stalkes with some lesser leaves on

Booke and 16. Chapter and yet in his 22. Booke making mention thereof doth not speake of any prickles it hath following peradventure Dioscorides text therein but Motthiolus to excuse Theophrastus his prickles in Coronopus supposeth that the jagges or divisions of the leaves of Corum Corvinum might be taken or mistaken by Theophrastus to be thornes he might as well say hornes or prickles although they be not hard nor sharpe and therefore judgeth the Coronopus both of Dioscorides and Theophrastus to be one palnt which thing although with Matthiolus I thinke to be true yet doe I not thinke his reason therefore to be true but if I may give my judgement thereof I thinke it more probable that Theophrastus might see such a Coronopus as Fabius Columna calleth Insulae Prochytae which hath sharpe and prickly edges as is before said in the description thereof and therefore placed it inter aculeatas and Dioscorides such as we usually have which grew in milder places and is a tender herbe used to be eaten and hereby as I thinke they may be reconciled together The first is called Coronopus sativus by Cordus Gesner Camerarius and others and hortensis by Bauhinus because it was familiarly sowen in gardens for meate and Herba Stella as I said before by Lobel Dodonaeus and others and Cornu cervi and Cornu cervinum yet the same herbe is also called sylvestris being found wild by divers both the same and other Authors the second is as I said called Coronopus Insulae Prochytae by Fabius Columnae and by Bauhinus Coronopus sylvestris hirsutior the third the same Columna calleth Coronopus Neopolitanus tenuifolius minimus and minimus tenuifolius maritimus the fourth Bauhinus setteth forth under the name expressed in the title the last is thought by some to be the Coronopus of Dioscorides but called by some Nasturtium verrucarium yet is generally called Coronopus repens Ruellij but Dodonaeus thinketh it fitter to be called Pseudo coronopus or else Cornu cervi alterum vulgi the upright plant is Matthiolus his Ambrosia and Lobels Ambrosia spontanea strigosior and Bauhinus himselfe putteth it for a second Ambrosia because it is figured upright by Matthiolus and Lobel The first is called by the Italians Herba stella and Coronopo by the Spaniards Guiabella by the French Corne de Cerf and pied de cornolle by the Germans Krauwen fuss by the Dutch Hertzharren we in English call it Bucks horne Harts horne and Bucks horne Plantane and of some Herbe Ivye and Herbe Eve Gerard calleth it Swines Cresses but I do rather call it Wart Cresses according to the Latine name that some give from the forme of the huskes of seede The Vertues Buckshorne Plantane boiled in wine and drunke is an excellent remedy for the biting of a Viper or Adder for I hold our English Adder to be the true Viper both by the forme thereof the teeth it hath with poison in the gummes being deadly and dangerous upon the biting and by the breeding which is of quicke young ones and not by egges as snakes c. by laying some of the herbe to the wound the same also being drunke helpeth those that are troubled with the stone in the reines and kidneyes not that it breaketh the stone or expelleth it but by cooling the heate of the parts and strengthening the backe and reynes it stayeth likewise all bleedings and eruptions of bloud whether at the mouth or nose either by urine or the stoole and helpeth the laske of the belly and bowells and the disentery or bloudy fluxe it helpeth much also those that have weake stomackes and are much given to casting not containing their meate and this the herbe doth well but the roote more effectually Paulus Aegeneta in his seventh Booke writeth that it helpeth those that are troubled with the collicke of which some make a doubt that it might be an errour of the Writer in mistaking the word but that he in the same place presently after that he hath shewed that the Larke is a remedy for the collicke adioyneth this also that the rootes also of Coronopus doth helpe the cholicke it hath beene held profitable for agues to weaken their fits and to take them away to
like the former but a little lesser the roote is long and full of fibres perishing every yeare 3. Cerinthe major flavo flore The greater yellow Honywort This yellow Honywort riseth up with a reasonable great stalke branched on all sides from the bottome to the toppe many of the lowermost lying upon the ground and the other standing more upright whereon are set large and long blewish greene leaves spotted as the former is but not so large at the bottome where they compasse the stalkes yet having some prickles in the middle thereon as they have and a little hoary about the brimmes or edges the toppes of the branches doe bend downewards set with small leaves and flowers at them as the former and as great but without any circle or bottome of purple being wholly of a faire yellow colour with such like threds as the rest have the seede is like the former and so is the roote also perishing after seede time in the same manner 4. Cerinthe minor flavo flore The lesser yellow Honywort This smaller Honywort hath a slenderer stalke than the former neare two foote high set with smaller narrower yet spotted leaves thereon without order one above another on both sides of the stalkes which spreadeth into many small but longer branches from the middle thereof thicke set with leaves and flowers which are like the last all yellow but smaller and dented at the brimmes of them after which come such like seede as the last but smaller the roote hereof is likewise white and long and that which grew in my garden did not abide the first Winters blast and most usually perished at the first therewith yet Clusius saith that his lesser yellow sort whch he found wild in the fields of Austria and Stiria did sometimes abide greene in the Winter 5. Cerinthe major flore purpurante The purple Honywort The purple Honywort groweth very like the great yellow kinde with low bending branches and somewhat large blewish greene spotted leaves like as the rest have the flowers stand in the same manner that the rest doe and as large wholly of a darke purplish colour on the superficies whereof is a little whitenesse perceived the seede that followeth is like the other but greater than any of them and two for the most part standing together in a huske flat at the bottome the roote perisheth every yeare and must be new sowen againe 6. Cerinthe minor flore albo White Honywort This small Honywort hath divers weake and small branches leaning or rather lying downe upon the ground set with such like pale greene leaves but lesser than the former whose white spots are not so easie or conspicuous to be seene as in many of the other the flowers are white long and hollow like them but smaller with a reddish circle about the middle of the flower and standing with greene leaves and in greene huskes as the rest wherein after they are past come very likeseede but not halfe so great as the last the roote likewise is long slender and white perishing every yeare after it hath given seede The Place The first as Clusius saith groweth generally throughout Baetica of Spaine plentifully and in some places of Portingall also the second is not knowne from what place it came but was onely observed by Clusius in Iohn ab Hogheland his garden the third Clusius saith he found in the Kingdome of Valencia in Spaine Gesner in hortiâ— saith it groweth in Monte Palatino at Rome as also in Germany betweene Dresda and Misena and Clusius saith he found it in divers fields of Austria and Stiria where sometimes it would out live a Winter and Dodonaeus saith in Bohemia and divers parts of Hungary the fift and sixt grow in divers places of Spaine from whence we had them by Guillaume Boel his diligence in finding them out there The Time They doe all flower in Iuly and August yet sometimes so late that we doe not gather good seede of any of them but the red if the yeare prove not warme enough and wet with all to ripen them or be not well watered if the Sommer be drie to bring them forward the sooner The Names Theophrastus among the ancient Greeke Writers in his 6.

Booke and 11. Chapter because the leaves are spotted white some also hee saith tooke it to be Memitha of the Arabians but Clusius supposeth that to be Glaucium Graecorum Gesner as I said before in hortis Germaniae saith it was called of some in his time Cynoglossuâ— montana and Bauhinus thereupon calleth it Cynoglossum montanum but Clusius referreth it rather to the kindes of Borage or Buglosse whereof in temperature he saith it is nearest Dalechampius tooke Calendula to be Cerinthe a cereo ipsius flore sic appellata but the most usuall and common name whereby it is generally called now a dayes is Cerinthe and Plinij added because the most and best Herbarists doe thinke it comes nearest unto his description The first is called Cerinthe major by Lobel and Camerarius and by Clusius Cerinthe quorundam major versicolore flore and Bauhinus Cerinthe seu Cynoglossum montanum majus the second is Clusius his fift kinde whereof he maketh mention in his other Appendix which is joyned to his Booke of Exoticke things and Bauhinus calleth it Cerinthe folio non maculato viridi the third Clusius calleth Cerinthe quorundam major flavo flore and Bauhinus Cerinthe flore flavo asperior the fourth is called by Clusius Cerinthe quorundam minor flavo flore by Lobel Camerarius and Tabermontanus Cerinthe minor by Lugdunensis Cerinthe Plinij the fift is the third Cerinthe of Clusius in his history of plants and called by Bauhinus Cerinthe flore rubro purpurascente the last is not yet extant or remembred by any Author we being the first to whom it was brought out of Spaine by

XXVIII Sanicula Sanicle THere be divers herbes that the learned writers have entituled Sanikle from their especiall properties in healing as Avens Beares eare Corrallwort Butterwort and divers others as they are remembred in their severall places and some in my former Booke as the spotted and Beares cares Sanicle whereof I thinke it not amisse to speake a little here and to give you their figures withall but this that I here first propose unto you is properly and peculiarly called Sanicle simply without any oâ—her epithite and thereof I finde no other sort although some have made mas and foemina accounting this the mas 1 Sanitula vulgaris sive Diapensia Ordinary Sanicle or Selfe heale 2 Pingulcula sive Sanicula Eboracensis Buâ—erwort or Yorkeshire Sanicle 3. Sanicula guttata Spotted Sanicle 4. Sanicula Alpin a sive cortusa Matthiâ— Beares eare Sanicle and Astrancia nigra Dioscoridis to be the foemina but yet I thinke fit also to adjoyne hereunto the Pinguicula or Butterwort called of some Sanicula Eboracensis and an American Cortusa for the properties and use sake although differing in forme one from another The description of the ordinary Sanicle is thus It sendeth forth many great round leaves standing upon long brownish stalkes every one somewhat deepely cut or divided into five or sixe parts and some of those cut in also somewhat like the leafe of a Crowfoote or Doves foote and finely dented about the edges smooth and of a darke greene shining colour and sometimes reddish about the brimmes from among which riseth up small round greene stalkes without any joynt or leafe thereon saving at the toppe where it brancheth out into flowers having a leafe divided into three or foure parts at that joynt with the flowers which are small and white starting out of small round greenish yellow heads many standing together in a tuft in which afterwards are the seedes contained which are small round rough burres somewhat like unto the seeds of Clevers and sticke in the same manner upon any thing that they touch the roote is composed of many blacke strings or fibres set together at a little long head which abideth with the greene leaves all the winter and perish not 2. Pinguicula sive Sanicula Eboracensis Butterwort Butterwort hath divers fat and long leaves lying upon the ground about the roote broad at the bottome and pointed at the end of a pale greene colour on the upperside and white underneath folded together at their first rising which then are more white from among which arise two or three slender naked stalkes about an handbreadth high bearing onely one flower at the toppe of every one set in a small greene huske made somewhat like a Violet flower or those of the Larkes heeles or spurres having a small tayle or spurre behinde in some of a purple in others of a more blew colour and in some white after the flowers are past come in their places small pointed round heads wherein is contained small long blacke seede the roote is composed of divers small white fibres or strings which dye not but abide with the greene leaves upon them all the Winter 3. Sanicula guttata Spotted Sanicle Having given you the description hereof and the varieties in my former Booke I shall here rather point at it then fully declare that it hath roundish leaves greene above and grayish underneath and reddish withall the toppe of the branched stalke is stored with many small five leafed white flowers so finely spotted with red spots that they seeme to be pricked thereon 4. Sanicula Alpina sive Cortusa Matthioli Beares-eare Sanicle This also being there described at large needeth the lesser relation that it hath larger and more crumpled hairy round leaves then the last the stalkes also lower and bearing sundry small pendulous purple flowers 5. Sanicula sive Cortusa Americana fruticosa The Shrubbe Sanicle of America The shrubby Sanicle of America hath sundry almost round leaves lying on the ground each upon a little long footestalke divided at the edges into two parts dented likewise about the brimmes from among which rise hard wooddy stalkes neere two foote high having such like leaves thereon as grow below and branching forth with sundry small white â—arre like flowers in a tuft together at the toppes The Place The first is found in many shadowye woods and other places of this land The second in the common fields and sundry bogs on the hils in Yorkeshire chiefly in many places also of the West Country and Wales and likewise in a Common about a mile from Oxford neare a village called Herington The third and the fourth as Clusius saith groweth in all the Austrian and Stirian hils in the shadowy places of them The last came from the backe part of Virginia called Canada The Time The first and second flower not untill Iune and their seede is soone ripe after the other two next flower much earlier and sometimes againe in Autumne The last flowreth in Iuly The Names I have not found that any of these Sanicles were knowne to any of the ancient Greeke or Latine authors but are as many other vulnerary and other herbes found out and named by later writers For the first it hath his name Sanicula a potiore sanandi munere it is also called Diapensia by Brunfelsius Matthiolus and Lobel and by Tabermontanus Consolida quinqnefolia for Matthiolus maketh it his fourth kinde of Quinqnefolium Fabius Columna would referre it to the third Sideritis of Dioscorides but of most writers it is generally called Sanicula and some as I said before call it mas because they would make the Astrantia nigra Dioscoridis set forth in the third Classis of this worke which is of purging plants and 23. Chapter under the title of Helleborus niger Saniculae folio major the great purging Sanicle to be the faemina It is called by the Italians Sanicola by the Germanes and Dutch Sanikel by the French Sanicle and by us Sanickle The other was first called Pinguicula by Gesner in descriptione montis fracti and from him all others doe so call it some also with us Sanicula Eboraceâ—sis because it groweth so plentifully in Yorkeshire Lugdunensis calleth it Cucullata and thinketh it may be Criâ— Aâ—lei Gesner thought it to be Dodecatheon Plinij others Lingula Plinij and some as Gesner Viola humida aut palâ—stris Bauhinus in putting it among his Sanicules calleth it Sanicula montana flore calcari donata We in English doe call it Butterwort and Butter roote because of the vnctuositie of the leaves or else of fatning as Gerard saith but untruely for they call it white rot and not white roote as Gerard saith for the Country people doe thinke their sheepe will catch the rot if for hunger they should eate thereof and
other drinke for it will speedily give ease three or foure drammes of the said powder taken in sweet wine procureth a speedy delivery and driveth forth the afterbirth provoketh the courses and Vrine when they are stopped and expelleth the stone in the reines and kidneys if a dramme or two of the said powder be given to drinke in wine or broth for some certaine dayes together it will helpe those that have a rupture or aâ— bursten and for this purpose it is accounted by divers that there is no helpe better but although it may bring some paines at the first takings yet by continuance it will knit and heale the part yet they must use their trusse for a good while after as well as during the cure it is also good for those that have some imperfection in their speech so as it be not naturall it helpeth also the sores in the mouth and throat and to settle the palate of the mouth in its place that is subject often to fall downe by reason of two much moisture it is likewise of singular good use in old and filthy ulcers in any part of the body to dry up the moisture and to bring them on the more speedily to be healed either the powder of the leaves or rootes to bee used alone or with other things put unto them or the decoction to wash them or inject into them CHAP.

Geranium bulbosum Doctoria Pennai Doctor Penny his bulbous Cranes bill 2. Geranium nodosum Knotted Cranes Bill have formerly done I will distribute them into three rankes or orders the first shall be of those that beare broad leaves like the Aconites or Crowfoot the next shall be of such as have round leaves like unto Mallowes and the last of those that have their leaves much cut in and jagged Gerania Batrachia Crowfoote Cranes bill 1. Geranium bulbosum Pennaei sive grumosa radica Doctor Penny his bulbous Cranes bill This Cranes bill hath for the roote many small long bulbes or kernells issuing from a long whitish roote and divers small fibres set both above them and at their ends the stalke is about a cubit high with joynts or knees in severall places at each whereof come forth small short and pointed leaves as also two great leaves upon long footestalkes divided into five parts each of them cut in somewhat on the edges at the toppes of the stalkes and branches and from the upper joynts likewise come forth divers flowers together each standing on short footstalkes consisting of five leaves a peece of a reddish purple or rose colour not so large as those of the Crowfoote Cranes bill 2. Geranium nodosum Knotted Cranes bill The knotted Cranes bill sendeth forth certaine leaves upon long footstalkes from the roote which is knotted and jointed with divers long fibres growing there from among which rise up two or three slender stalkes a foote high with great joynts like knees standing forth and reddish toward the bottome there usually stand two leaves upon long footestalkes at a joynt cut into three parts yet shewing to bee five for that the two lowest are cut in a little from the uppermost joynt of leaves come forth two flowers for the most part and no more standing upon longer footestales made of five leaves a peece dented in the middle like a Mallow of a purplish colour with veines of a deeper purple running there through having a reddish umbone in the middle our into five parts at the toppe which being past there come in their places long beake heads somewhat great at the bottome whereon the seeds are set as in the other sort of Cranes bills 3. Geranium pullo flore Darke red Cranes bill The darke red Cranes bill hath divers broad spread soft and somewhat hairy leaves rising immediatly from the roote upon long footstalkes cut into five or six or seven deepe gashes or divisions with a blackish spot at the bottome of every one of them and dented also about their edges the stalke riseth up about two foote high spotted with many blooddy spots and is strong somewhat hairy and parted into three or foure branches with such like leaves on them but lesser and at their ends two or three flowers a peece each of them consisting of five leaves cut in on the edges which is a fashion different from all other Cranes bills of a deepe red colour almost blackish and in the middle a long stile with many writhed threds about it the seede that followeth is browne like unto the other sorts the roote hath great reddish heads above and many long strings and fibres descending from it 4. Geranium Batrachoides minus Small Crowfoote Cranes bill This Crowfoote Cranes bill is somewhat like the other described in my former booke having large rough and hairy leaves upon long footstalkes cut in more deepely on the edges and dented also round about the stalke is a 3.

Geranium Moscoviticum purpureum Purple Cranes bill of Muscovy This purple Cranes bill hath broad leaves divided into five parts or divisions for the most part and dented likewise about the edges somewhat resembling Geranium fuscum but not fully so large or rather like the Geranium Romanum versicolor but of a deeper greene colour and with some blacke spots also like them at the bottome of the divisions of the leafe the stalke riseth about two foote high with sundry tufts of large purplish blew flowers tending to red the seede that followeth is almost as small as that of the Roman striped kinde the roote shooteth forth divers heads whereby it is increased but looseth all his leaves in winter which the others doe not 6.

XIIII Lupinus The flat Beane or Lupine HAving finished the number of climing or ramping Faba major hortensis Our ordinary Garden Beane Pulses it remaineth to shew you the rest which have no claspers and first to begin with the Lupine or flat Beane for the great Garden Beane which should stand in the fore front I have shewed you in my former Worke with the greater and smaller blew and yellow Lupine yet I thinke it not amisse to give you some of their Figures here 1. Lupinus sativus albus The great white Lupine The great white Lupine riseth up with a strong upright round hollow soft or woolly stalke set confusedly with divers soft woolly leaves upon long footstalkes each being divided into five seaven or nine severall parts narrow long and soft greenish on the upper side and woolly underneath the maine stalke divideth it selfe into two parts after the flowers are growen from the uppermost joynt and are like unto the great Garden Beane but wholly white without any spot the branches flowring after the first flowers have given slender long soft or woolly cods lesser then of the Garden Beane conteining within them foure or five flat white Beanes somewhat yellowish within and very bitter in taste the roote is somewhat long and hard with divers fibres annexed thereto perishing yearely 2. Lupinus alter albus The spotted white Lupine This other Lupine differeth from the former in the greatnesse and in the flower which is spotted with blew on the head of the innermost leaves and the hollow of the uppermost 3. Lupinus minimus caeruleus The smallest blew Lupine This small Lupine is very like unto the former blew Lupine set forth in my former Booke in the manner of growing being little or nothing woolly also but smaller both stalkes and leaves the flowers likewise are wholly blew as they or very seldome with a white spot in it the seede is smaller likewise and a little spotted Lupinus flore luteo The yellow Lupine 1. Lupinus sativus albus The great white Lupine 3. Lupinus minimus caeruleus The smallest blew Lupine 6. Lupinus medius caeruleus A midddle sort of the great blew Lupine 4. Lupinus Gadensis marinus flore caeruleo The blew Sea Lupine This Sea Lupine is somewhat like unto the smaller blew Lupine described in my former Booke but lesser or betweene it and the smallest blew last of all described the flower is of a most excellent blew colour with some white spots in them the seede is small and round 5. Lupinus Arabicus The Arabian Lupine Having well considered this Lupine I finde that I have described it among the Cinquefoiles because the leaves did so neere resemble a Cinquefoile and comming to me by that name but since that having reade Pona his description of Mons Bauldus in the Italian tongue I finde it there described by the name of Lupino Arabico or if you will Pentafillo peregrino unto either of which it may be referred but seeing it doth more resemble a Lupine than a Cinquefoile I have so entituled it here yet referre you to the description thereof in that place because I would not repeate that there set downe being as I tooke it growing in my owne Garden but yet because in some things it is defective as in the cods c. and might be bettered I will from Pona supply it the leafe doth better resemble a Lupine leafe the flowers are more purple than they shewed with me and the middle pointell in them also is purple the pods are long and pointed at the ends full of small blacke seede and little this I thought good to advertise you that they are but one plant although it hath two titles 6. Lupinus Indicus medius caeruleus A middle sort of the great blew Lupine This sort of Lupine is very like the greatest blew Lupine described in my former Booke both for the tallnesse woollinesse and largenesse of the leaves or a little lesser in all as the flower is also and of as orient a blew colour with a whitish spot in the middle which changeth to be reddish before the flower decaieth the pods likewise are woolly and almost as large and so is the seede also but still smaller and a little discoloured with a clear or hollownesse in the middle 7. Lupinus flore carneo Blush flowred Lupines Somewhat like unto the last is this Lupine also but lesser and lesse woolly the flowers which make the chiefest difference are of a kinde of delaied reddish colour which we usually call a blush the pods also are lesse woolly and smaller and the seede likewise 8. Lupinus flore obsoleto Wee have had another sort of Lupine sent us from Boel by this name but perishing in an intemperate yeare we can describe it no further The Place and Time These Lupines grow naturally wilde but wee doe nourish them all in Gardens and doe flower in the end of Iuly or in August in which time or quickly after the seede will be ripe The Names It is called in Greeke 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Thermos in Latine Lupinus Pliny thinking it tooke the name and qualitie from Lupus but I finde no likelihood in that supposition and therefore forbeare to expresse it any further the two first are so called by the Authors that have written of them the third was brought me by Boel out of Africa and the fourth out of Spaine but were both so tender that I onely saved a little seede the first yeare I had them and have lost them since the fift is declared in the description the three last have not beene remembred by any before the Arabians call it Tarmus or Tormus the Italians Lupino the Spaniards Entramosos the French Lupin the Germanes Figboneu the Dutch Vijchboonen and Lupines from whence came the Faba ficulnea Germanis by Lobel and we in English Lupine or flat Beene The Vertues Lupines by reason

Medica marina major spinosa Hard and thorny sheld Sea Claver This Claver groweth bigger and greener then the last Minor the flowers are small and yellow comming from the joynts of the branches and but one at a place which are followed by small hard and round prickly heads whose windings are hardly to bee discerned this perisheth yearely There is another sort hereof that differeth onely in the smalnesse which are the third and fift figure in the generall table of Medicas 6. Medica Arabica Camerarij sive Trifolia cordatum Hart Claver of Arabia This heart Claver hath very slender and small weake branches full of joynts and round greenish Trefoile leaves upon long footstalkes at them broad at the end and dented in making the fashion of a Hart as it is usually expressed with red spots in each of them the flowers grow two or three together at the end of a stalke comming from the joynts small and yellow which turne into small prickly twining heads like unto other small Medicas the roote is but annuall 7. Medica echinata rotunda sive Tribulus terrestris minor repens Lugdunensis Creeping round prickly Claver This round prickly Claver hath very long branches trayling on the ground with very small trefoile leaves on them the flowers are yellow two or three at the most standing together which turne into round rough or prickly heads Altera recta with small or no shew of twining to be seene on them the roote is small white and thready There is another growing more upright and with foure or five such small burres set together else not differing from it 8. Medica lunata Moone Claver The leaves hereof are small somewhat like unto the first true Claver and dented about the edges the flowers are yellow and the pods very like to those of Marantha his Cytisus but yet is not the same this being an herbe and that a shrubbe or bush growing Medicaetum 〈…〉 species cum siliqua Scorpioidis leui Nine sorts of Medicas and a pod of the smooth Scorpion grasse high Other sorts of Medicas or Clavers are set downe in my former Booke of flowers which together with all the other sorts are not there expressed but since obteined I have thought good to set in one table those are not formerly mentioned are these which Medica tornata c. 9. Medica tornata major minoris lexis The greater and lesse smooth Medica turned like a Tun. These two sorts differ not in their growing from the others but onely in their fruite the greater whereof standeth singly one at a place turned like to a Tun and the lesser hath many together smaller which two are expressed the two first in the generall Table 10. Medica tornata spinosa The Thorny Tun like Medica This also hath the chiefe difference in the fruit which is somewhat like a Tun but a little thorny or more like unto a fine wrought haire button many together which is the sixt figure in the Table The Place and Time The first groweth naturally both in many places of Spaine and in France neare Mompelier also yet is it sowen in many places both there and in other countries to serve for Hay for their Cattell and Horses and cut it often for in Spaine they have no other hey which feedeth their Horses and maketh them exceeding fat and so doe they in the Low countries whereby their Kine give the more abundance of Milke the others grow some in France others in Spaine or Germany and some of them also are found in our fields and marshes as at Woolwich Deptford c. The Names The first is taken by the most judicious of our later writers to be the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of Dioscorides which as Pliny saith was brought from the Medes into Greece by the Persian Darius his warres there from whence came the name Medica as the Medicum malum the Pomecitron was also but now from Italy being brought and sowen for the benefit thereof in the fields of Belgia and the bordering places and first in Burgonie or Burgundy hath altered the old name into Foenum Burgundiacum and of late regained the old name and called Medica legitima none as it is said better agreeing with Dioscorides his description in all things then this Gerard was much deceived in saying that Lobel his Foenum Burgundiacum was the Trifolium cochleatum primum of Dodonaeus in his last edition for it is his Medica in the next Chapter following as any that will compare them shall soone finde the second is of Bauhinus in his Prodromus but we having it growing plentifully in our land doe usually call it Medica racemosa the third Clusius calleth Medica flavo flore and Bauhinus Trifolium sylvestre luteum siliqua cornuta sive Medica frutescens and Tabermontanus Lens major repens as he saith the fourth Clusius first called Medica marina and so doe Lobel Camerarius and others the fift is of the number of Boel his Spanish Medicas whereof wee had a dozen or foureteene sorts the sixt Camerarius calleth Medica Arabica and is generally called Trifolium cordatum the two next are Lugdunensis his Tribulus terrestris minor repens and rectus which Camerarius calleth Medica pusilla the two last are lately knowne The first of these is by Avicen and the Arabians called Cot and Alfial sasat but corruptly by the Spaniards Allafalsaga and Alfalses but by these of Castile Mielguas by the French Sainctfoin and Foin de Bourgongue we call it Medick Fodder and Snaile Claver or Trefoile The Vertues The use of this first herbe was in former times more to feede Cattell then in medicines for it was held to be so powerfull to fatten their Horses and other beasts that they would stint them to a quantitie for feare of suffocating them by growing thereby too fat the greene herbe saith Dioscorides hath a cooling propertie and for that purpose chiefely to be used yet Avicen commendeth the oyle made of Cot or Alfalsasat against the tremblings of the heart Gesner saith that a liquor drawen by fire out of the Alfalses of the Spaniards is good against the Stone I suppose he meaneth an oyle drawen out of the seede as the oyle from Almonds Plutarch in his booke against Epicurus reciteth a pretty similitude taken from this Medica Even as saith he the seed of Medica abideth a long time by reason of his many winding branches creeping on the ground and by his sharpe roughnesse even so greefe having fastened his crooked rootes in ones body cleaveth thereto not for a day or a night but for many yeares and is hardl◠expelled but by
other greefes as by stronger nailes The rest here mentioned in this Chapter are not used against any disease that I know CHAP. XXXV Scorpioides Scorpion grasse or Caterpillers BEcause these plants come nearest unto the Medica both in their flowers pods seedes although differing in their leaves yet I thinke I doe not greatly erre to set them at the taile of the rest of the Pulses but I have given you the knowledge of two sorts of these Scorpion Grasses in my former Booke there remaine three more to be remembred in this Chapter to finish this Classis of the Pulses 1. Scorpioides Bupleurifolio pluribus corniculis asperis Small ordinary Caterpillers with many cods This small Caterpiller also groweth in the same manner with trailing long branches as the first small rough sort doth the leaves are likewise of a fresh greene colour and of the same fashion but somewhat lesser the flowers also are small and of a deepe yellow foure or five oftentimes standing together which are of the same bignesse and fashion with the other but that it hath as many rough crooked cods together as there were flowers the roote is very stringy but annuall 2. Scorpioides Bupleurifolio siliquis lenibus Smooth codded small Caterpillers This other is in all things like this former sort but that it hath seldome two flowers together on a stalke and the wormes that follow as few being crooked and winding in the very same manner are small and smooth without any roughnesse at all of the same pale browne colour that it is the figure whereof is with the Medicas 3. Scorpioides Matthioli sive Portulacae folio Matthiolus his Scorpion Grasse or with Purslane leaves This Scorpion Grasse of Matthiolus hath divers upright pale greene stalkes and pale greene leaves set thereon each whereof is somewhat long broad and round pointed like a Purslane leafe sometimes having two small leaves joyned at the bottome of the greater and oftentimes in many without them at the toppes of the stalkes and out at the joynts likewise stand small pale yellow flowers much resembling those of Medica after which follow small long slender and crooked hornes small at the end joynted or parted as it were all the length of it somewhat resembling the long crooked cod of the Coluta a Scorpioides but this is more conspicuously joyned and of a pale colour within lie small long whitish yellow seede the roote is long and fibrous perishing yearely The Place and Time Both the first were brought us out of Spaine by Boel as the great one was also expressed in my former Booke the last Pena saith groweth neere unto Mompelier as well in their manured fields as in their Vineyards plentifully Scorpioides Bupleurifolio major minor The greater and smaller rough Caterpillers or Scorpion Grasse 3. Scorpioides Matthioli sive Portulacae folio Matthiolus his Scorpions taile or Caterpillers with Purslane-like leaves The Names No author hath made any mention before now of these except the first by Lobel who called it Scorpioides Blupleui folio repens the last by Matthiolus by the name of Scorpioides the bare figure without any description and referred it himselfe unto the Scorpioides yet as he saith it was controverted in his time by some learned men that from the authoritie of Nicander his Scholiaste would have it to be Telopheum Dioscoridis Dodoneus refuseth that opinion saying it neither pleased him nor many other learned yet Guilandinus Anguilara and Casalpinus and with them Bauhinus hold it to be the true Tolephium of Dioscorides Lobel putteth it to the question whether it be that Telephium of Cratevas or no and seemeth to leane to their opinion saying they are not led thereunto by weake reasons yet because Dioscorides giveth to his Teliphium and Galen confirmeth it a drying and clensing qualitie yet not very hot and thereby conducing to heale foule ulcers and the taste of this pulse is rather like the medow Trefoiles I may as I thinke yet continue it in suspence but that it should be the Clymenum of Dioscorides as Columna seemeth to thinke being in my judgement mistaken in making the leaves of this to be like the small Ribwort Plantane when as the other Bupleurifolio commeth neerer thereunto then this not having three ribbes to be seene in the leaves I see lesse reason for Dioscorides saith Clymenum hath a stalke like the Beane foure square but so hath not this nor hath it those Folyperum cirrhi but that Bupleurifolio hath indeede some resemblance of these rough prickles but not this which is smooth Bauhinus also seemeth to make two sorts of this the other which he referreth to this which is usually called Scorpioides Matthioli the other he calleth Scorpioides Fortulacae folio but I thinke he can finde no other Scorpioides Portulacae folio but this of Matthiolus I have given my reason let others correct with better if they can The Vertues The two first sorts being plants lately made knowne to us we know of no propertie they have the last is as I said of the taste of the Medow Trefoiles and cannot therefore but be neare of the same effects If it were the Telephium of Dioscorides it should have a propertie in it to clense the body from the foule scurse or leprosie but must after sixe houres that it hath beene annointed be washed away with Barly water but this herbe hath no such clensing facultie therein nor yet to heale up foule ulcers as is spoken before that the propertie should be in Telephium by Galens judgement CEREALIA CORNES CLASSIS DVADECIMA THE TWELFTH TRIBE CHAP.
