akon AND Dascharhioss _1N our fhops, for Shitical he, we han three forts 
of faunders,. whereof the white and yellow are {weet woods, but the yellow is the. 
fweete(t ; the red-hath nofcent. The faunders-tree groweth to be as big as a wal- 
nut-tree, having frefh green leaves like the maftic-tree,. and darkifh blue flowers, 
the fruit being like cherries for the fize, but without any tafte; black when they 
are ripe, and guickly falling. away. The,wood isfeli is without {cent, as it.is faid, 
while it is living and frefh, and fmelleth {weet only when it is dry. The white and:

with rofe-water to the temples, pracuring éafe in the head-ach, and are fing gular good 
for weak and fainting ftomachs through heat, and in the hot fits of agues. They are
