Leaf appears having a Green Hollow Leav'd Lavender Page 54. sprig growing fast by it like the smaller Horse Tayl about the latter end of April the Hood and Sprig wither away and there comes forth in the room a Bud like the Bud of the Walnut Tree but bigger the top of it is of a pale Green Colour covered with brown skins like an Onion white underneath the Leaves which spread in time out of the Bud grow from the root with a stalk a Foot long and are as big as the great Bur Dock Leaves and of the colour the Roots are many and of the bigness of the steel of a Tobacco Pipe and very white the whole Plant sents as strong as a Fox it continues till August A Branch of the Humming-Bird Tree 4. This Plant the Humming Bird feedeth upon it groweth likewise in wet grounds and is not at its full growth till Iuly and then it is two Cubits high and better the Leaves are thin and of a pale green Colour some of them as big as a Nettle Leaf it spreads into many Branches knotty at the setting on and of a purple Colour and garnished on the top with many hollow dangling Flowers of a bright yellow Colour speckled with a deeper yellow as it were shadowed the Stalkes are as hollow as a Kix and so are the Roots which are transparent very tender and and full of a yellowish juice For Bruises and Aches upon stroaks The Indians make use of 〈◊〉 for Aches being bruised between two stones and laid tocold but made after the English manner into an unguent with Hog●… Grease there is not a more soveraign remedy for bruises of what kind soever and for Aches upon Stroaks In August 1670 in a Swamp amongst Alders I found a sort of Tree Sow Thistle the Stalks of some two or three Inches about as hollow as a Kix and very brittle the Leaves were smooth and in shape like Souchus laevis i. e. Hares Lettice but longer some about a Foot these grow at a distance one from another almost to the top where it begins to put forth Flowers between the Leaves and the Stalk the top of the stalk runs out into a spike beset about with Flowers like Sow Thistle of a blew or azure colour I brought home one of the Plants which was between twelve and thirteen Foot in length I wondered at it the more for that so large and tall a Plant should grow from so small a Root consisting of slender white strings little bigger than Bents and not many of them and none above a Finger long spreading under the upper crust of the Earth the whole Plant is full of Milk and of a strong savour 5. This Plant I found in a gloomy dry Wood under an Oak 1670. the 18th of August afterwards I found it in open Champain grounds but yet somewhat scarce The Root is about the bigness of a French Walnut the Bark thereof is The Plant when it springs up first brown and rugged within of a yellowish Colour from whence ariseth a slender stalk no bigger than an Oat straw about two Cubits in height somewhat better then a handful above the Root shooteth out one Leaf of a Grass Green colour and an Inch or two above that another Leaf and so four or five at a greater distance one from another till they come within a handful of the top where upon slender foot stalks grow the Flowers four or five more or fewer clustering together in pale long green husks milk white consisting of ten small Leaves snipt a little on the edges The Figure of the Plant when it is at full growth with purple hair threads in the midst the whole Plant is of a brakish tast When it is at its full growth the stalks are as red as Blood 6. This Plant Flowers in August and grows in wet Ground it is about three or four foot in height having a square slender stalk chamfered hollow and tuff the Leaves grow at certain distances one against another of the colour of Egrimony Leaves sharpe pointed broadest in the midst about an Inch and half and three or four Inches in length snipt about the edges like a Nettle Leaf at the top of the Stalk for four or five Inches thick set with pale green husks out of which the Flowers grow consisting of one Leaf shaped like the head of a Serpent opening at the top like a mouth and hollow throughout containing four crooked pointels and on the top of every pointel a small glistering green button covered with a little white woolly matter by which they are with the pointels fastened close together and shore up the tip of the upper chap the crooked pointels are very stiff and hard from the bottom of the husks wherein the Flower stands from the top of the Seed Vessel shoots out a white thread which runs in at the bottom of the Flower and so out at the mouth the whole Flower is milk white the inside of the chaps reddish the Root I did not observe 7. This Plant I take for a varigated Herb Paris True Love or One Berry or rather One Flower which is milk white and made up with four Leaves with many black threads in the middle upon every thread grows a Berry when the Leaves of of the Flower are fallen as big as a white pease of a light red colour when they are ripe and clustering together in a round form as big as a Pullets Egg which at distance shews but as one Berry very pleasant in taste and not unwholsome the Root Leaf and Flower differ not from our English kind and their time of blooming and ripening agree and therefore doubtless a kind of Herba Paris The small Sun Flower or Marygold of America 8. This Plant is taken by our Simplists to be a kind of Golden Rod by others for Sarazens Consound I judge it to be a kind of small Sun Flower or Marygold of the West Indies the Root is brown and slender a foot and half in length running a slope under the upper face of the Earth with some strings here and there the stalk as big as the steal of a Tobacco pipe full of pith commonly brownish sometimes purple three or four foot high the Leaves grow at a distance one against another rough hard green above and gray underneath slightly snipt and the ribs appear most on the back side of the Leaf the Flower is of a bright yellow with little yellow cups in the midst as in the Mary gold of Peru with black threads in them with yellow pointels the Flower spreads it self abroad out of a cup made up of many green beards not unlike a Thistle Within a handful of the top of the stalk when the Flower is fallen growes an excrense or knob as big as a Walnut which being broken yieldeth a kind of Turpentine or rather Rosen What Cutchenele is The stalk beneath and above the knob covered with a multitude of small Bugs about the bigness of
