224 Mr. ArzzLiUs's Hifory of 
Of the copies of Matthiolus’s figures I have feen three kinds. 
A larger one, in the Latin edition of his Commentary, in 1565, 
fomewhat improved, and reprefenting the plant nearly in its na- 
tural fize: this has been copied in the Italian tranflations of this 
work, in the years 1568 and 1604. Secondly, one of the, fame fize 
with the original, in the Latin Epitome of Matthiolus, by Game- 
rarius ; but inferior in this refpect, that all the fpikes are repre- 
fented oval, and pedunculated, or without floral leaves. Neverthelefs 
it has been reprinted by Uffenbach in his German tranflation of 
Durantes's Herbario, by Becker in his Parnaffus, and by Zvinge- 
rus in his Theatrum, both of them in Getmaie Thirdly, © one 
kind much fmaller than the original one, but otherwife perfectly 
fimilar, found in the French eben of Matthiolus's Com- 
mentary, by Pinet. Camerarius has altered one of the above- 
mentioned faults committed by Matthiolus in his Compendium, 
and reftored the figures of Trifol. pratenfe aud montanum to their 
right places; but he has retained the other, faying, that Trifol 
montanum has purple flowers.

on the Mayne, 1588, in folio. His See is pv: she Cae fize as 
the original or firft one by Matthiolus, to which it bears fome re- 
femblance; but is better in this refpe&, that all the {pikes are fur- 
nifhed with clofe floral leaves, which however rather appear to 
reprefent a large calyx than real leaves. Re-impreffions of this: 
figure I have feen in eight places, viz. in Tabernzmontani Icones, 
and four later editions of his Herbal, the firft of which was pub- 
lifhed by Cafper Bauhin, and afterwards reprinted; the third by 
Hieron. Bauhin, likewife reprinted in this century; further in 
Gerarde's Herbal, and in Cafper Bauhin’s edition of the Commen- 
tary
