XXXI Galega Goats Rue BEcause this herbe is so effectuall against all infections 1. Galega sive Ruta Capraria Goats Rue I could do no lesse then insert it here and take it from the other leguminous plants where it might be placed which otherwise I would not have done and hereunto I must adjoyne another for the neerenesse both for forme and vertues 1.

chiefest difference in this sort of Ginny Pepper consisteth most in the forme of the fruite which standeth upright as the flowers doe being great and round like an apple even the greatest of all the sorts that beare round fruite of an exellent red colour when it is ripe like unto a pollished Corrall 4. Capsicum erectum pyramidale majus The great upright spire fashioned Ginny Pepper This is much alike or very little differing from the first the difference of the fruite is that this standeth upright great below and smaller and smaller to the point which is sharper then in the first else it might seeme the same being inverted that is either that turned upward or this turned downewards of as brave an orient Corall like colour as the last Capsicum Longum 1. Capsicum majus vulgatius oblongis siliquis alia 〈◊〉 genera nempe quartum quintum The most ordinary Ginney Pepper with great long huskes and the fourth and fifth 2. Capsicum minus Brasilianum 7. alia genera Small round Ginny Pepper and 7. other sorts Copsici species quatuor nempe 15.16.17 18. 5. Capsicum erectum pyramidale minus The lesser upright spyrefashioned Ginny Pepper As the fruite of this sort is lesser by the halfe than the last and not so sharpe or small at the end but somewhat round so the greene leaves also are smaller and narrower and the stalke smaller and not growing so high the flowers of this as of all the rest that beare their fruit upright doe stand upright also which is a certaine rule to know what fruit will be pendulous and what will be upright The figures of both these last sorts are set on the sides of the former table 6. Capsicum exiguum erectum pyramidale The least Spyrefashioned Ginny Pepper The forme of this small Spyrefashioned Ginny Pepper commeth so neare unto the second sort that many may soone be deceived in thinking them both one that doe not heede them more precisely for although they both agree in growing upright and being small yet those of the second sort I meane are short and round like unto a wild Olive and these are smaller and longer of an inch long at the least and of a blackish red before they be thorough ripe but then are as red as the rest this groweth taller fuller of branches and more stored both with flowers and fruite which make the goodlier prospect the leaves also are no smaller than in any other sort going before and of the same darke greene colour with the rest 7. Capsicum Cordatum erectum majus The greater upright heart fashioned Ginny Pepper This sort of Ginny Pepper groweth to be but of a meane height that is not so high as most of the former having large leaves but not so small at the ends the fruit is not pendulous or hanging downewards with his foote stalke but standing upright being somewhat great flattish and as it were bunched out at the upper end next unto the stalke and smaller below short and round pointed somewhat resembling the forme of a mans heart as it is intituled 8. Capsicum Cordatum erectum minus The lesser upright heart fashioned Ginny Pepper This differeth not from the last but in the smallnesse of the fruit standing also upright and being smaller by a third part or neare an halfe and shorter also the figure of this is omitted because it is the same with the next but that this is upright and the other pendulous 9. Capsicum Cordatum propendens Pendulous heartfashioned Ginny Pepper The fashion of this sort of Pepper is somewhat like the greater upright heartfashioned Pepper being neare of the same bignesse but a little more uneven and not so round but is as red being ripe Alterum Minus and is pendulous hanging downewards not standing upright as the other There is another of this sort of pendulous Peppers differing in nothing from the greater but in being smaller 10. Capsicum siliqua Olivaria propendens Pendulous Olivefashioned Ginny Pepper This Pepper hath small long and round cods smaller below than above being very like unto an Olive berry as red being ripe as any of the rest and with the stalke hanging downeward 11. Capsicum siliqua Olivaria erecta Vpright Olivefashioned Ginny Pepper This differeth from the last but in being greater than it and standing upright and not in any thing else The figure of this is not set in any of the tables but this figure with eleven is next under the number twelve 12. Capsicum siliqua rotunda Cerasorum Cherry fashioned Ginny Pepper There are two sorts of this Pepper one which is fully round like unto an English or Flanders Cherry the other that hath a little point at the end thereof this being a little bigger then the other and both of them hanging downe 13. Capsicum siliqua lata rugosa Broad and Crumpled Ginny Pepper The cods of this Pepper are somewhat large greater above and smaller below somewhat flat also and not round but crumpled as it were or shrunke halfe together and smelleth pretty sweete 14. Capsicum erectum majus longum Long and upright Ginny Pepper This Pepper is long and round yet not like that that carryeth the forme of an Olive berry but much longer and of an equall bignesse all the length thereof and standeth upright 15. Capsicum oblongum majus recurvis siliquis The greater crooked or horned Ginny Pepper The greater horned Ginny Pepper hath great large cods about five inches long sometimes little or nothing crooked at the lower end which is long and small sometimes a little crooked or bended upwards and sometimes very much 16. Capsicum oblongum minus recurvis siliquis The lesser horned Ginny Pepper This differeth from the last in not being halfe so thicke or long and keeping his end bowed or crooked constantly not varying as it doth both this and the last hang downe their cods toward the ground the whole plant also groweth lesse then the other 17. Capsicum bifurcata siliqua Double pointed Ginny Pepper This Pepper is very like the long upright Pepper and much about the same forme and bignesse being of an equall size almost all the length thereof but differeth from it in this the lower end is parted as it were into two short round points and is also a little smaller there then upwards neither in colour nor any thing else differing from the rest 18. Capsicum siliqua flava breviore The shorter gold yellow Ginny Pepper It might be thought by divers that onely see the cods of this Pepper that it differeth from all the rest in the manner of growing as well as in the colour of the fruite but it is not so for it hath like leaves stalkes and flowers in every part and onely differeth in that it beareth cods very like unto the first sort here set downe which is the most common but that they are shorter and ending in a smaller or sharper point and of a faire gold yellow colour not

thereat likewise the flowers are of a pale red colour set in a long spiked head but more loose and not so compact as the former this I had by Boel out of Spains by the name of Tenuifolius 1. Lagopus maximus flore rub●o The greatest Hares foote 2. Lagopus major follo pinnato The longer handed Hares foot 4.5 Lagopus augustifolius 〈…〉 Bright red 〈…〉 6. Lagopus vulgaris Common Hares foote 5. Lagopus minor flore ruberrimo Bright red small Hares foote This small Hares foote hath small woolly or soft leaves as small but nothing so long or narrow as the last and groweth little more then halfe a foote high the spiked head is small but larger then the wilde kind and the flowers on them are of a most excellent crimson colour the corners of whose woolly huskes stand out like starres when the seede within them are ripe this is but annuall perishing yearely as the former this also came to me out of Spaine by the name of Lagopus pratensis Baeticus 6. Lagopus vulgaris Common Hares foote The common Hares foote is well knowne to be a small plant growing greater and higher in some places and smaller in others with whitish woolly small trefoile leaves set upon the stalkes and many branches it hath the heads at the toppes are small and somewhat long with the roundnesse composed as it were all of a hairy hoary downinesse whose flowers in some are of a white in others of a blush colour it is annuall as the rest and this is 〈◊〉 especiall note of this family of Hares foote or that beare spiked heads of flowers that they perish yearely when as the other sorts of ●refoiles that are to follow or that went before are not so This also I had from Boel Supinus 〈◊〉 grew larger and another that stood not upright with many other sorts out of Spaine which are perished with ●e by some unkindly yeares have happened The Place and Time These have beene all found some in Italy others in Spaine some in France and others in Germany but are preserved with ●● in the Gardens 〈◊〉 such as are curious and the last almost every where in dry grounds in our owne Land and flourish in the summer the onely The Names It is called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in Greeke and so likewise Lagopus in Latine a Leporis hirfuto pede of the hairy foote of an 〈◊〉 as also Leg●●● and Pes Leporis L● and Trifolium humiles Hippocrates called it Lagopyron quasi Triticum Lep●●● because it grew among Corne the first is called by most writers Lagopus maximus Lobe● by Clusius and Lagopus maximus or major folio 〈◊〉 by Lobel himselfe and D●naeus the second is called by Lobel Lagopus altera folio 〈◊〉 which Clusius maketh the other sort of his third Trifolium majus Tragus called it Cytisus and so did 〈…〉 and Cordus Trifolium magnum the commentors on Mes●es in their P●ects Pes 〈◊〉 and Thalius Trifolium spicatum the third is called by Lobel Lagopus altera augustifolia and so by others but as I sayd by Lugdunensis Alapecuros 〈◊〉 Dalechampij the fourth Clusius so calleth as it is in the title the fift is not remembred by any before the last is generally called Laogpus or with little variation Tragus onely calleth it Lotus campestris The Vertues All the parts of these Hares feete that is leaves stalkes c. but especially the spiked heads doe dry and binde and of the first saith Lobel wee have had most certaine experience to stay Fluxes and Larkes of the belly being drunke in wine or in water if the patient be feverish and being bound to the Share it taketh away the inflammations thereof it is profitable saith Matthiolus besides the aforesaid qualities to stay chollericke belchings of the stomacke and paines of the belly if the heads and seede in powder be taken in red wine the herbe boiled with Mallowes in wine is very good for the paines of the bladder the heate of urine and scalding The seede also taken helpeth the spitting of blood the ashes of the heads being burnt is good to apply to the piles to stay their bleedings and some also thinke that if the fundament bee but wiped with the herbe it will stay their bleeding Pena saith that the facultie of drying is so powerfull besides the binding that it wonderfully stayeth the running of the Reines it is also profitably used in all foule and hollow Vlcers being first clensed to raise up flesh in them and to cicatrise them and is of great good use to helpe burstings CHAP. XXXI Trifolia capitulis stellatis globosis c. Starry headed and round headed Trefoiles THese sorts of Trefoiles are likest to the last in their heads chiefely but they are not so closely compacted but stand somewhat looser one flower from another 1. Trifolium stellatum Monspeliensium Starry headed Trefoile of Mompelier This Trefoile of Mompelier hath a small white long down-right root with some fibres therat from whence rise divers leaves upon long weake hoary foote stalkes not standing upright made of three soft hairy and hoary parts formed somewhat like unto an heart whereon some have rashly taken it to be Trifolium cordatum and a little dented about the edges from among which come up three or foure or more low stalkes seldome a spanne high or branched but naked up to the toppe where there usually grow three such like leaves as the lower are set under the head which is a small round spike or umbell with many long flowers appearing of a whitish red or flesh colour out of woolly or hairy and hoary huskes every one by it selfe which when they beginne to fade the whole head becommeth more round and the huskes shew their fine long sharpe points whereinto the toppes of them were divided more apparent laid abroad like a starre in each whereof is contained one blackish flat seede in the place about Mompelier where it groweth naturally it flowreth in May and the seede is ripe in Iune but with us it will neither flower nor seede of a moneth after 2. Trifolium clypeatum argenteum Buckler Trefoile with silver-like flowers This small plant spreadeth many branches upon the ground set with Trefoile leaves like the common medow Trefoile every branch bearing at the end divers silver like flowers and long round blacke and flat seede like unto the old Venetian Bucklers which are hot and drie in taste for which cause I should rather make it a Thlaspi but in that I have not seene the plant I can say no further of it but give it you as my author Alpinus hath set it downe 3. Trifolium globoso capite Globe or round headed Trefoile This round headed Trefoile from a long white fibrous and hairy roote sendeth forth divers slender round stalkes a hand breadth high and sometimes a foote long divided into branches somewhat hairy beset with small triparted leaves a little hairy with two small leaves at every
