This from a broad bafe fticking to Stones, or other Solids at the bottom of the 
Sea, rifes to be about three Inches high, being divided into feveral Branches, and 
they into Twigs, which were fubdivided into {mallet Branches, fet with long 
round fhort Leaves, no bigger than Hairs, coming out of oppofite fides of 
the middle Rib or Stalk, of a glue or dark yellowith colour, which did not 
crackle under the Teeth; they look jut like Feathers, and were miore 
thick branch’d and fer with Twigs than any of the Abies-Marina-Belgica-

I found chis Plant either in the Ifland of Madera'or Barbados floating on’ Tab.>.Fig 2, 
the Water, having feveral Capillary brown Fibres for its Roots, and appear- 
ing Nerves on the upper fides of the Leaves, which becaufe, it feems to 
differ very little from that of Alpinus, this being not Hirfute, T take to be 
the fame, and his differing from that of Veflingius but in little, 1 think them 
not to be two Plants. 
It is ufed for the fame Difeafes as Plantain, either outwardly or inwardly 
in Juice or the Powder to a Drachm. 
Becaufe there is no account of the Seeds of this, or whether it has any or 
no, I think this a more proper name for it thanthat of Stratiotcs.

fhining , about feven Inches high, on the top of which was a round 
Leaf, exactly like that of Afarum, about, two Inches Diameter, having 
Veins running from the top of the Foot-Stalk as from a common Centre 
through the Leaf, which was of the confiflence of Lfemionitis or Lin- 
gua Cervina, Round the edges on the under-fide lay the Seed in a Welt, 
being Ferrugineous, as of other Ferns, and making the Leaf appear as if it 
were indented. : Sh56 .
