 The firll fort grows ^ naturally in woods and under

 'from which arife feveral four-cornered ftalks three

Ing two cells filled with Imall feeds, wliich ripen i„ 



The fecond fort grows naturally by tlie fide of J^trh -^ 

 and watery places in every part of l::ngland': thC 

 hath a fibrous root, fending out ftrong four cornered 

 Italks, whicli grow near four feet hiah c^arniilv 

 with heart-fliaped leaves, which are roimdcd at the! 

 points and crenated on their edges, fomewhat lil- 

 thofe of Betony, froin whence it has been titled Wit'^ 

 Betony. The flowers are larger than tliofe of the for' 

 mer, and are a little more coloured, but of the fm . 

 fhapc, and appear at the fame time. This fort i' 

 fometimes ufed in medicine, but as it grows m\^C 

 the fides of ditches, io it is feldom admitted into <rar 

 dens. There is a variety of this with variegated leaves 

 which IS by fome preferved in gardens. ° ' 



Tlie third fort grows naturally in Italy and Spain 

 by the fide of rivers and other moift places The 

 ftalks of this are ftronger, taller, and greener, than 

 thole ot tlie former ; the leaves have generally fmall 

 appendages at their bafe ; the flowers are <^reencr 

 and grow thinner upon the ftalks than tliofe of the 

 former, and in thefe particulars confift their dif- 

 ferences. 



The fourth fort grows naturally in Sicily -, this hath a 

 perennial fibrous root. The ftalks rife near four feet 

 high, and have Iharp angles ; the leaves are arrow- 

 pointed, heart-fhaped, and are fliarply fawed on their 

 edges ; the flowers grow in loofe bunches to the toi) 

 of the ftalks ; they are in fliape like thofe of the for- 

 mer, but are of a dark red colour. 

 The fifth fort grows naturally in Italy ; it hath a pe- 

 rennial root. The ftalks rife four feet hit^h, and 



branch out on their fide ; they are garnifhed with 

 heart-fliaped fawed leaves, which on the upper parr 

 of the ftalk are placed alternate. The flowers are 

 produced in bunches at the wings of the ftalk, each 

 foot-ftalk fupporting two flowers ; thefe are fmall, of 

 a brown c( ' 



in Auguft.

The fixth fort grows naturally in Sicily; this hath a 

 perennial root. The ftalks rife four feet high, and 

 are garniflied^ with heart-ftiaped leaves which are 

 doubly fawed on their edges ; the flowers are difpofed 

 in compound fpikes, which fit upon longfoct-ftalks; 

 ■.thefe arife from the wings of the ftalks, a .u have 

 .-.generally two narrow leaves placed at their bafc, bnf 

 the flowers terminate the ftalks like the three firft 

 forts. 



The feventh fort grows naturally in Spain ; this hath 

 a perennial root. The leaves at the bottom are irre- 

 gularly cut, and have two appendages at their bafe ; 

 they are fmooth, of a lucid green, and are fawed on 

 their edges. The ftalks rife four feet high ; they are 

 four-cornered, fmooth, and garniflied with oval leaves, 

 fome of which are entire, and others have fmall lobes 

 or appendages at their bafe. The flowers grow from 

 ^the wings of the ftalks in clufters, eacli ftanding upon 

 a feparate foot-ftalk; they are of a bright red colour 

 with greenifli bottoms, and are much larger than ei- 

 ther of the former. It flowers the,beginning of June, 

 and the feeds ripen in Auguft. 

 The eighth fort grows naturally in Portugal ; this re- 

 fembles the feventh, but the ftalks are larger, rife 

 higher, and are hairy. The leaves are much longer, 

 and have four appendages, irregularly fawed on 

 their edges, and running out into longer points; 

 the flowers grow in compound bunches at the 

 wings of the ftalks ; they are larger than thofe of 

 the former fort, and have a greater mixture of cjreen 

 in them. , 



The ninth fort grpws naturally in Italy ; this hath a 

 root compofed of a few thick flefliy fibres. The ftalks 

 are flender, four-cornered, and rife about two feet 

 high ; the lower leaves are compofed of feveral pinn:c 

 or lobes which arc fliarply fawed, but thofe on the 

 ftalks are entire ; on the lower part of the ftalk they 

 are placed oppofite, but toward the top they are alter- 

 nate and fmall. The flowers come out in bunches from 



the wings of the ftalk ; they are fmall, and of a dark 



" . . purple
