222 Mn. ArzeziUus’s Hiffory of 
occurs the fame figure and defcription. . In the third tome -of 
Brunfelfii Herbarium, printed in Latin at Strafburg, 1536, in folio, 
I have feen another and better figure; which, under the name of 
Brunella, feems to reprefent Trifol. pratenfe. Still the figure is not 
diftinét enough to enable me to indes 9 of it with abíolute cer- 
tainty. 
But the firft evident figure of this Trifolium that I have feen, 
is found in Roefslin's Herbal, printed in German, at Frankfort on 
the Mayne, by Egenolphus, 1532, in folio. It is fmall, but re- 
prefents the plant tolerably with one fingle ftem, with proper 
leaves, and a feffile fpike. Of this figure I have found thirteen re- 
impreffions, which are in Egenolphi Imagines et Effigies, a work 
which contains only figures, and of the former of which there are 
three editions; in Dorftenii Botanicon, in two places, under the 
name both of Epithymum and Trifolium ; in both the Latin editions 
of Diofcorides by Ryff or Rivius; and in the Hiftory of Lonicerus 
in Latin, as alfo in his German Herbal, of which I have feen two 
editions, under Uffenbach's name; and in this century, another by | 
Ehrhart. The fig ires of Egenolphus and Baus, a as. ao tholg. of 
Lonicerus himielhes are in « SO onec gun qim ton 
Fuchfen, or, as he 1s more Wn mallet Fuchfit lus, in ‘his 
Hiftory in Latin, printed at Bafil, 1542, in folio, gave us a new 
and a good figure of this Trifolium, reprefented in its natural fize 
and pofition, with feveral ftems ; and it is not much to our ho- 
nour that this is ftill almoft the beft extant. The only thing 
that might be faid againft it, is, that a few of the {pikes are repre- 
fented pedunculated, and the floral leaves are not always oppofite 
and feffile, as they ought to be. Of this figure we have a coloured 
re-impreffion in the German Herbal of this author; of which af- 
petards, firft Tragus in his Hiftory, and after him Dodonzus in 
his
