A09011	Theatrum botanicum: = The theater of plants. Or, An herball of a large extent containing therein a more ample and exact history and declaration of the physicall herbs and plants that are in other authours, encreased by the accesse of many hundreds of new, rare, and strange plants from all the parts of the world, with sundry gummes, and other physicall materials, than hath beene hitherto published by any before; and a most large demonstration of their natures and vertues. Shevving vvithall the many errors, differences, and oversights of sundry authors that have formerly written of them; and a certaine confidence, or most probable conjecture of the true and genuine herbes and plants. Distributed into sundry classes or tribes, for the more easie knowledge of the many herbes of one nature and property, with the chiefe notes of Dr. Lobel, Dr. Bonham, and others inserted therein. Collected by the many yeares travaile, industry, and experience in this subject, by Iohn Parkinson apothecary of London, and the Kings herbarist. And published by the Kings Majestyes especial	Parkinson, John, 1567-1650.; Marshall, William, fl. 1617-1650, engraver.	1640 (1640)	STC 19302; ESTC S121875	2,484,689	1,753

I. THere are sundry sorts of Hysops whereof the most are unknowne to many whose descriptions names and properties shall follow 1. Hyssopus vulgaris Common garden Hysope 2. 3. Hyssopus versicolor Party coloured Hysope 1 Hyssopus Vulgaris Common garden Hysope The common garden Hysope is so well knowne to all that have a garden or that have beene in a garden that I shall but seeme actum agere to bestow my time in describing it to be a smal bushy plant that riseth up more than a foot high with many wooddy branches but tender at the tops whereof are set at certaine distances sundry small long and narrow greene leaves at the tops of the stalkes stand blewish purple gaping flowers in spiked heads one rowe above another after which follow the seed which is small and blackish the roote is somewhat wooddy with many threddy strings the whole plant is of a strong sweete sent 2. 3. Hyssopus folijs niueis folijs aureis White Hysope and golden or yellow Hysope These two sorts of Hysope are both of the same kinde with the common Hysope but differre onely in the party colouring of the leaves the white having diverse leaves parted white and greene in the midst and some all or most part white and some wholy greene or with some stripes in the greene for all these sorts are seene together upon one Plant. The golden or yellow sort hath the uppermost leaves usually wholly yellow in the summer time parted with greene the lower leaves often abiding without discolouring 4. Hyssopus folijs cinerijs Russet Hysope This Russet Hysope also differeth from the former in no other chiefe matter than in the colour of the leaves which are of a grayish or ash colour which some call Russet this is likely to be that sort that Bauhinus saith was sent him from England 5. Hyssopus surculis densis Double Hysope This Hysope groweth lower and thicker set with slender and not so wooddy branches bending somewhat downewards and much more thicke set with leaves of a darke greene colour in the flower and other things it differeth not from the first 6. Hyssopus latifolia Broade-leafed Hysope This also differeth not from the first here specified but in having 6. Hyssopus latifolia Broad leafed Hysope 7. Hyssopus foliis crenatis Iagged or dented Hysop 9. Hissopus Arabum White or red flowred Hys 10. Hyssopus minor si●e Hispanica● Dwarfe Spanish Hysope 11. Hyssopus Coronata sive Comosa Clusii Tufted Hysope larger and broader greene leaves upon more woody stalkes keeping forme and substance 7. Hyssopus folijs crenatis Iagged or dented Hysope This difference of the dented leaves maketh me to set it downe as another species hereof as others have done 8. Hyssopus moschata vel de Cilissa Musked Hysope Gesner in Hortis Germaniae remembreth this Hysope to differre nothing from the ordinary Hysope but in the sent which is so gratious and pleasant that it commeth neerest to the sent of Muske 9. Hyssopus Arabum floribus rubris vel albis White or red flowred Hysope The red or white flowred Hysope differ but a little from the garden sort yet are distinguished from it in that they both doe usually beare red or white flowers all on one side of the spike yet continue not constant in that forme but change into the forme of the ordinary kinde 10. Hyssopus minor sive Hyspanica Dwarfe Spanish Hysop This Spanish kinde is a smaller and lower sort whose branches rise not so high as the garden Hisope but bend a little downewards the leaves also being smaller and thicker and of a sadder greene colour and the heads or spikes are also shorter but the flowers are purple like the garden sort Lobel calleth this Hyssopus parva angustis folijs 11. Hyssopus Coronata sive Comosa Clusij Tufted Hysope Tufted Hysope is in leaves flowers and manner of growing somewhat like the common garden kinde but a little smaller and lower the leaves being of a paler greene colour and the top branches spreading a little broader have shorter spikes of leaves and flowers growing as it were in tuftes which hath caused the name and noted it for a difference 12. Hysopus folijs crispis Curld Hysope Curld Hysope hath the leaves curled or crampled at the edges that each leafe seemeth to be composed of many and herein consisteth the chiefest difference 13. Hyssopus montana Mountaine wilde Hysope Mountaine or wilde Hysope is very like unto the garden kinde for the manner of growing but that the leaves which are not so many at a joynt are somwhat harder and rougher and a little hairie and somwhat narrower also which as Matthiolus saith being brought into gardens and there cherished will by time put off that roughnesse and become more milde and gentle the taste whereof is much more bitter and nothing so hot or sweete as the common kinde the flowers and seedes are like the garden sort both for forme and colour 14. Hyssopus angusti folia spicata Narrow leafed Hysope Narrow leafed Hysope is a fine kinde and hath many slender hard stalkes whereon are set at distances as in the common Hysope many small greene leaves but longer and narrower 15. Hyssopus folijs Origani Round leafed Hysope 14 Hyssopus augustifolia spicata Narrow leafed Hysope than they and ending in a longer point the flowers likewise grow at several distances as it were in roundles almost from the middle of the stalke up to the topes of a blewish purple colour like the ordinary kinde but much smaller and so is the seede also the branches hereof will take roote and grow being laid into the ground the roote spreading much in the earth 15. Hyssopus folijs origani Round leafed Hysope This Hysope hath divers hard woody stalkes whereon grow sundry small and almost round leaves one against another but pointed at the endes the heads or spikes of flowers are like unto the common sort of a blewish purple

the seede bruised and heated in a little Vinegar and held betweene the teeth easeth the tooth-ach the same rootes also boyled in oyle and dropped into the eares easeth the paines and killeth wormes breeding in them the leaves and flowers but especially the barke of the roote steeped or boyled in Vinegar clenseth the skinne of all morphew freckles spots or any other discoulouring of the skinne whatsoever the oyle that is made of Capers is of very good use against the paines of the sides and Spleene The Arabian sort is much more sharpe and almost exulcerating and therefore as Pliny well saith it is not fit to use so violent a stranger better it is to use our owne Europian kindes The Beane Caper is used by the Syrians as Rauwolfius saith to kill the wormes in children and to drive them forth CHAP. XXVIII Oyacantha Dioscoridis quibusdam id est Spina acuta seu potius Spina appendix Plinij The white Thorne or Hawthorne THe Hawthorne hath not beene knowne formerly to be of any more sorts then one but wee have in our time had the knowledge of two other which shall be presently shewed you 1. Spina appendix vulgaris The ordinary Hawthorne The common Hawthorne groweth up in some places to be a tree of a reasonable height if convenient dressing pruning and keeping helpe it forward otherwise it groweth to be but a shrubbe or hedge bush with divers shoots armes and branches whereon are set in divers places sharpe thornes and faire shining leaves somewhat broad and cut in on the edges into divers parts the 1. Spina appendix vulgaris The ordinary Hawthorne tree flowers are many standing together comming forth both at the tops of the branches and upper joynts with the leaves consisting of five white leaves a peece with divers white threads in the middle tipt with red and of a very pleasant sweete sent after which come berries somewhat long with the roundnesse of a lively red colour when they are fully ripe and somewhat sweete in taste conteining within them divers white seedes lying in a flocky or downie substance which make it harsh in tasting and if it should bee eaten it would sticke to the throate and hurt the winde pipe the roote groweth farre and deepe 2. Spina acuta humilior The low Hawthorne The low Hawthorne never groweth so high or great as the former the leaves are smaller but longer divided on the edges in the same manner the flowers also are white and sweete and grow in tufts or clusters but the fruit that followeth is yellow tending to a Saftron colour in other things it differeth not from the other 3. Spina acuta biflora Britanica Englands Hawthorne We have another sort of Hawthorne growing in divers places of our Land well knowne to those that dwell about the places where they grow yet not greatly regarded or wondered at by them nor yet by many of those that have seene them growing but I doe not thinke fit that it should be so slightly passed over or so smally respected for I suppose it a strange worke of nature or of the God of nature ●ather to cause such a tree being in all parts thereof like unto the common Hawthorne to blossome twice every yeare the one time usually in May as all others of the kind doe the other about Christmas eyther somewhat before or somewhat after according to the temperature of the Winter at that time for if the Winter before bee wilde without either great frosts or other hard weather it will be in blossome white all over as in May sometimes in November or else in December but if it bee hard and sharpe weather it will not blossome untill Ianuary that the hard weather be over it beareth also after these flowers are past greene berries even in the Winter before any greene leaves doe appeare or blossomes in May so that it will have both ripe fruit and greene at one and the same time upon the tree there hath not beene observed any other difference betweene this kind and the ordinary Hawthorne Some might thinke as it hath beene disputed among divers that this happeneth by reason of some hot springes that take their course by the rootes of this tree which reason I grant hath some appearance of likelihood but wisely sc●nned and considered is too light I thinke to hold weight for how should one tree only blossome in a place and none of all the other trees in the same tract or compasse of the same springes running and besides this there are of these trees in divers places of the Land as in Rumney Marsh in Whey street as it is vulgarly called but should bee rather High street where ● standeth in a moorish ground though upon a banke beaten with cold and Northerly blasts and exposed to the furious winds on all sides having no shelter or defence but standing in a flat and open soyle where I thinke no hot spring eyther doth or is likely to breake forth or runne neare it let the wise and judicious sean it throughly if this come to passe by the nature of the soyle and springs or the naturall kinde of the tree The Place The first groweth every where in the hedges and borders of fields and woods the second in Germany the 〈◊〉 ●t Glastenbury Abbey and as is before said in High street or Whey street in Rumney Marsh and neare unto ●wicke also in Cheshire by a place called white greene which tooke the name as it was thought from the 〈◊〉 bushes of thornes which there they call greenes The Time The time of these to flower is specified to be ordinarily in May and extraordinarily about Christmas sometimes a little before and sometimes a little after the fruit is ripe on the ordinary trees in September and doe hang on them all the Winter as meate for birds or untill the frosts doe make them fall The Names Very many as Matthiolus Lacuna Turner Bellonius Lobel Dodoneus Camerarius Casalpinus Rauwolfius Th●lius Tabermontanus and some other doe take this Thorne to be 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Oxyacantha of Dioscorides which hee describeth to be like the Peare-tree but lesser and very thorny bearing a berry like unto those of the Myrtle but red full and easie to breake having a stone or Kernell within it some also thinke that it is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of Dioscorides others take it to be the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Oxyacanthus of Galen which he likewise saith is like unto the wilde Peare-tree in forme and not unlike it in qualitie so that the ones masculine the others faeminine are but one bush or tree by the judgement of many the best Herbarists although some take them to bee divers as Camerarius who doth make the Barbery bush to be the Oxyacanthos of Galen and not the Oxyacantha of Dioscorides and so doe also Cordus upon Dioscorides and Taber●ntanus Hermolaus and Ruellius likewise doe take the Barbery to be Oxyacantha and so doe Fuchsius Tragus Cornarius and some

Caryophyllata vulgaris Ordinary Avens 2. Caryophyllata monta●a Mountaine Avens but somewhat deepely cut in on the edges of a fresher greene colour likewise softer also and gentler in handling from among which rise slender stalkes seldome branched having very few leaves thereon at the toppes whereof stand usually one flower apeece yet sometimes more made for the most part like the former consisting of five or sixe leaves much larger than they and of a deeper yellow colour and sometimes with a white flower as Camerarius saith in horto tending to rednesse having many yellow threads in the middle compassing a greene head which when the flower is past increaseth to be a round head beset with flat seeds not so rough or ready to sticke to ones garments but every one of them having a long featherlike haire or thread at the end the whole plant as well leaves as flowers and seed are covered with a small soft hairy downe which is not much or easily discerned unlesse one heed it very well 3. Caryophyllata Alpina minor Small Mountaine Avens There is a smaller kinde hereof found on Mont Baldus little differing from the former but in the smalnesse thereof being covered with a soft downe and of a darker greene colour the flowers being large for the smalnesse of the plant and consisting of sixe leaves for the most part 4. Caryophyllata Alpina minor altera The other small Mountaine Avens This small Mountaine Avens hath much longer leaves than the last lying upon the ground round about and much more divided or cut into divers parts making each part of the leafe to resemble that of Smalladge being a cubite in length from among which rise up two or three weake trayling stalkes with foure leaves thereon much lesse than the lower but more finely cut in on the toppe whereof standeth one large flower consisting of sixe and sometimes of eight leaves standing in a greene huske whose ends reach to the height of the flower which is of a paler yellow colour than the former and turneth into such like heads of long hairy seeds as the former the roote is somewhat long and slender branched forth and with divers fibres at them 5. Caryophyllata montana sive palustris purpurea Purple Mountaine or marsh Avens This Marsh Avens hath leaves somewhat like the second sort but with longer foote-stalkes and somewhat hairy the stalkes rise as high as the first many times with fewer leaves set here and there on them and more divided at the toppes stand two or three small flowers apeece hanging downe their heads of a purplish yellow colour scarce appearing above the huskes that containe them after which come such heads but more soft and downy the look creepeth in the ground and smelleth much lesse than the former and some little or nothing Virginensis Wee have had from new-New-England another of this kind brought by John Newton a Chirurgion of Co●ion 〈◊〉 is taller and greater than this differing little in any thing else giving flat thin blackish seed in huskes 6. Caryophyllata aquatica altera Another Marsh Avens This other is like unto the fift but hath the huske that containeth the flower spreading beyond the brims thereof which is in some more reddish and in some more double than in others not differing in any other notable thing 3. Caryophyllata Alpina minor Small Mountaine Avens 5. Caryophyllata montana purpurea Purple Mountaine Avens 7. Caryophyllata Pontaphilaea Cinque-foile Avens 7. Caryophyllata Pentaphyllaea Cinque-foile Avens The Cinque-foile Avens hath the leaves thereof divided into five parts like unto a Cinque-foile leafe dented about the edges the stalkes are about a foote high having some such like leaves thereon at the joynts where it brancheth forth at the toppes whereof stand pale yellow flowers like the first sort but smaller with many yellower threads somewhat downy in the middle the roote is composed of many brownish strings smelling somewhat like unto the former kindes The Place The first as I said before is found wilde in many places of this Realme under hedge sides and by the pathes in many fields and delighteth rather to grow in shadowy than Sunny places yet is usually brought into gardens to be at hand to be used upon any occasion The second is found upon divers Mountaines as Coronos in Bohemia by the Springs of the River Albis as Matthiolus saith upon Mons Baldus as Pena saith and in some other places The third and fourth upon Mount Baldus as Pona relateth both in his Latine and Italian descriptions thereof The fifth and sixth grow by water sides and in moist and wet or marish grounds on the Mountaines The last was found by Pona hard by Clatena on the Rhaetian Alpes in Switzerland whereas he saith hee tooke it for a kinde of Cinque-foile or Tormentill at the first untill by the smell and colour of the roote he judged it a kinde of Avens The Time These noe flower in the moneths of May and Iune for the most part and their seed is ripe in Iuly at the farthest The Names It is generally called in Latine now adayes Caryophyllata and Caryophyllata for it is not found to be knowne to any of the ancient Greeke or Latine Writers except it bee Geum of Pliny as most of the later Writers doe confidently and not without good reason suppose from the scent of the roote so neare resembling Cloves which are called Caryophylli yet some have called it Herba Benedicta of the excellent or blessed qualities thereof and others Sana-munda for the like effects Tragus would have it called his Nardus agrestis not onely for the sweet scent of the rootes but for the cordiall properties it hath The first is as I said called of the most of the later Writers Caryophyllata vulgaris hortensis Brunfelsius as I thinke first and after him Gesner Tragus and Tabermontanus call it herba Benedicta and Benedicta Camerarius saith the French call it Sana-munda and Turner as I thinke or Gesner first and after them Lobel call it Geum Plinij The second is called of Matthiolus who first set it forth Caryophyllata montana and so doe Dodonaeus Lugdunensis Anguillara Tabermont●s and Gerard Camerarius calleth it Caryophyllata Alpina Tragus Benedicta sylvestris Lobel Caryophyllata major r●tundifolia and Gesner Geum Alpinum quartum in his hortis Germaniae Bauhinus calleth it Caryophyllata Alpina 〈◊〉 The third and fourth being the lesser sorts of this kind were found by Pona on Mount Baldus and called by him Caryophyllata Alpina omnium mininia and minima altera The fifth is called by Lobel Caryophyllata Septentriona●●otundifolia papposo flore by Clusius Caryophyllata montana prima by Gesner in hortis Geum rivale by Camerar● in horto Caryophyllata palustris and in his Epitome upon Matthiolus Caryophyllata aquatica by Iohannes Thalius Caryophyllata major seu purpurea by Lugdunensis Caryophyllata montana Dalechampij and by Bauhinus Caryophyllata aquatic● nutante flore The sixth is mentioned by Bauhinus in his

Sideritis arvensis rubra Meddow Ironwort with red flowers The roote of this herbe is very fibrous or full of threds from whence riseth up a square browne stalke full of branches and thereon divers narrow long and pointed rough leaves somewhat dented about the edges set by couples at the toppes whereof stand the flowers compassing them as the others doe of a darke red colour and sometimes of a white colour the whole plant is of an austere or harsh binding taste without smell and perisheth every yeare 14. Sideritis arvensis latifolia glabra Broad leafed meddow Ironwort This other medow Ironwort hath larger smooth greene leaves below then those above a little dented about the edges the square stalkes are branched and the flowers in some purplish tending to white in others of a pale or yellowish white set in coronets or circles about the stalkes without any sent as the others also 15. Sideritis Anglica strumosa radice Clownes Woundwort As a Complement to these Sideritides let me adde this Woundwort as last of all though not the least in effect which from a countrey mans experience hath not onely obtained the name of a Woundwort but famoused to posteritie for others to receive good also thereby which else might have beene buried with him that healed himselfe therewith of a cut with a Sithe in his L●gge It groweth up sometimes to three or foure foote heigh but usually about two foote with square greene rough stalkes but slender joynted somewhat farre asunder and two very long and somewhat narrow darke greene leaves bluntly dented about the edges thereat ending in a 11.

broader leafed Hempelike Agrimony of America 7. Eupatorium aquaticum duorum generu● Water Agrimony of two sorts fall out of the huskes of themselves when they are ripe leaving the huske emptie and gaping the roote is small reddish and wooddy abiding and not perishing in the winter 4. Eupatorium Cannabinum Hempelike Agrimony The Hempelike Agrimony hath many long darke greene soft or woolly leaves lying upon the ground among which riseth up a soft whitish stalke full of a white pith within it to the height of two or three cubits sometimes set full of such like leaves as grow below up to the top where the flowers breake forth many standing together in tufts being very small and mossie of a pale purplish colour which turne into downe and is carried away by the winde the roote spreadeth farre with many strings and fibres thereat the whole plant hath a little sweete sent in it but is very bitter and so is the roote also 5. Eupatorium Cannabinum Americanum latifolium The broader leafed Hempelike Agrimony of America The broader leafed kind of Agrimony groweth greater and higher then the former with a brownish stalke and longer and larger leaves thereon so that some have compared them to those of Elecampane the flowers grow at the top of the stalke in greater number and more sparsedly with longer scaly husks being many long threds standing in the middle of a more purplish blew colour and the seede at their bottomes which together are blowne away with the winde 6. Eupatorium Cannabinum Americanum angustifolium Narrow leafed Hempelike Agrimony of New England The other kind of American Agrimony groweth at the first with a few small long leaves upon the ground unevenly dented in some places on the edges and in others but little or not at all dented the single hairy thicke round brittle stalke of two or three high foote or more is full set on all sides very thicke with longer and narrow leaves without order some dented and some not of 2.3 and 4. inches long a peece and halfe an inch broad or lesse of the greene colour and soft full of branches from the middle at the least upwards and smaller leaves on them 〈◊〉 very many small mossie pale threds for flowers on every branch out of small greene huskes or heads which with the seede almost insensible is carried away with the wind that one would thinke it had no seede at all which yet will spring very plentifully before winter of it owne sowing the roote is a few hard sprayes with small fibres at them and perishing yeerely after it hath seeded 7. Eupatorium aquaticum duorum generum Water Agrimony of two sorts Although all these sorts of Hempe-like Agrimony doe usually grow by watery ditch sides and the like ●rish places yet because they will also grow well in different soiles I thinke it not a misse to joyne them all together for the likenesse of name forme and qualities Of this water Agrimony we have two sorts of our owne Land and another also out of America or New England being in all other things very like one unto another hee onely in the placing or setting of the leaves upon the stalkes which in one sort hath divers leaves set together like the fingers of an hand all meeting together at the bottome set by distances at the stalkes every one not divided but whole yet dented about the edges and in forme and greenenesse like unto the leaves of wilde Hempe or of the former Agrimonies but softer and in the other every leafe is somewhat divided three or five upon a stalke two at a joynt the flowers are yellowish browne made of many leaves like a starre set about a middle thrum with greene heades under them divers standing together thrusting forth from the joynts with the leaves and at the toppes of the branches which turne into long flat rugged seede which will sticke to any garment it toucheth the roote is made of many blacke strings and fibres encreasing much the whole 〈◊〉 somewhat aromaticall smelling sweete and tasting somewhat sharpe like Pepper and so doth the roote also We have another of this last sort brought us from Virginia and New England whose great hard solice browne round stalke Americanum of 3.4 and five foote high is wonderfull full of long branches from the bottome set with joy● spotted red on the younger greene ones with large greene leaves on them the lowest having five on 〈◊〉 those upward but three yet larger than the former as the flowers and seede is also yet not rough but smoth 〈◊〉 and blackish this hath no sharpenesse of taste in it The Place The first groweth in the borders of fieldes by ditches and hedge sides throughout all the Land the second is a stranger to us growing with us onely in the gardens of the curious but is naturall to Italy in many places both the former and this growing neere one to another or not farre distant the third Columna found in Naples and was sent to Bauhinus from many other parts of Jtaly likewise as he saith himselfe the fourth is found in many places that are wet as the brinckes of ditches and water courses and in the upland grounds also where it will thrive and endure as well the fift sixth and last came to us from New England Virginea the two first of the 7. grow sometimes in the very water the last in shallow ponds and plashes of water as also sometimes in places 〈◊〉 from them the last American groweth huge and great in our garden grounds comming first unto us out of New England among the earth that Iohn Newton a Chirurgion of Colliton in Somersetshire brought me with Planta Cardinalis their little red Lillies and other plants The Time They doe all flower in Iuly and August and the seede is soone ripe after yet the last American flowreth latest The Names The first is called in Greeke 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Eupatorium and so the Latines call it also of Eupator the first finder of it as Pliny saith who calleth it Eupatoria and as it is thought is his Argemonia in arvis nasceus but Dioscorides sheweth that this was an errour in his time in mistaking Argemonia for Agrimonia Some also call it Hi●torium quoniam hepati praecipue medetur because it is a chiefe helpe to the Liver it is also called Agrim● of divers some other names are also given unto it as Marmorella Concordia Lappa inversa and Ferraria The Arabians call it Cafal Cafel and Gafel the Italians Agrimonia and so doe the Spaniards the French Agrimoni● and Eupatoire The Germanes Odermeing and Bruchwurtz the Dutch Agrimony and we in English Agrimony or common Agrimony All the Apothecaries of our Land especially of London now adayes doe use this first kinde of Agrimony as the most assured Eupatorium of Dioscorides howsoever in former times both we and they beyond the seas did usually take the Eupatorium Cannabinum which they called Eupatorium vulgare for the

likely having received of the same seeds from Paludanus sowed some seed that was eight yeares old sent him by the name of Acacalis and called in the Syriack tongue Kisnisen and Sisime from whence rose a tender plant somewhat like unto the Carob tree upon the first springing of it having gained that yeare onely foure round leaves set by couples each opposite to other on the middle rib whose stalke was somewhat hairy This perished also at the beginning of Autumne so that no more can be said thereof but that the seed was somewhat broad and round at the one end and pointed at the other But although this bore the name of Acacalis yet did it not answer to Dioscorides Text and pointed at the other But although this bore the name of Acacalis yet did it not answer to Dioscorides Text or Aegineta that transcribed it from him that saith it is the fruite of an Egiptian plant that is somewhat like unto Tamariske Cordus commenting on Dioscorides saith it was not knowne in his time unlesse some would referre it to the Elmblick or Bellirick Myrobolanes which is as farre from truth as an Oake from an Apple Bellonius also remembreth it but giveth no description of it So that neither being perfectly described by Dioscorides nor certainely knowne of our Modernes I can say no more thereof 2.

Page 380 Line the sixteenth put out Panaces Carpimon sive racemosum Canadense but why Panax being no wound herbe I see no cause unlesse it be for want of a better name put out as I said all this because it pertaineth to another place Page 380. Line the sixteenth put out those three last lines in the Names and instead of them put Aconitum baccis nibei● rubris but I thinke I have more truely referred it to the Christophoriana In the Vertues likewise put out the Panaces Carpinon and all that followeth and in the place thereof set these lines Coruntus saith they gave it the name of Aconitum rather from the likenesse unto an Aconite then from any deliteriall quality they knew to be in it and supposeth that the white berries should rather portend good then harme Page 387. Lines part of the 18 19 and part of the 20. are to be strucke out not being intended for that place as may plainely be discerned by the relation And in the stead thereof read these lines The fourth is called by Clusius Apocynum Syriacum Falaestitrum forte Aegyptium because he referreth it to the Beidelsar of Alpinus in his Booke of Egiptian plants and to the Ossar frutex of Honorius Bellus in his third Epistle to him saying withall that Doctor Christopher Weixius gave him the dryed branch which he set forth and that as he told him he gathered it neere the River Iordan in Pal●stina where it grew and the people there called it Beidsar this is Clusius his relation and judgement thereof I have said somewhat hereof in my former Booke page 444. But I would to explaine it the better adde somewhat more thereunto First that it is not probable to me that this plant which Clusius setteth forth and is without all question the very same that rose with me from the seed was brought out of New England upon the first discovery thereof both stalkes leaves and flowers agreeing so exactly thereunto and both forme and colour of the flowers answering it in every point onely the pods white seed answereth not unto this which I doubt therefore is but mistaken should be found naturall to those parts seeing as I said it is naturall to Virginia or New England and especially that the name Beidsar should be given to it which is most probable belongeth to that of Alpinus and Bellus which is quite a differing plant from this as I shewed in my former Booke both from the growing hereof which dyeth downe every yeare and from the milke it giveth which is not causticke like the Ossar and in the rootes which are running under ground which the other doth not And thirdly they say that the Ossar or Beidelsar beareth yellow flowers and not expressed to grow in clusters as this doth and Lastly that the pods of this Apocynum are crooked according to the forme expressed in the figure when as those of Ossar are round like Testicles and those that Clusius setteth forth are not crooked like unto these Bauhinus in following Clusius sheweth that he never saw the plant and therefore taketh it for graunted whatsoever he said or Weixius informed him when as by this that I have here delivered it is probable Weixius was mistaken and that hath caused all these errours as also that of Bauhinus that would make it a kinde of Docke calling it Lapathum Aegyptiacum lactescens siliqua Asclepiadis which hath so little correspondence with reason and judgement that I wonder that so famous an Herbarist as Bauhinus was should relye upon anothers foolish opinion in the denomination thereof and so divulge it to the world whereof I have formerly said something The fifth is remembred by Cornutus among his Canada plants Ranunculus sylvarum sive Anemone
