the leaues ftand,come forth many flowers,much like vato broome flowers, but not fo 
Poplar tree,both in greatnefle and whiteneffe ofthc branches,with the leafe 
of anluie, withoutcorners onthe one part, cornered on the other, and 
fharpe pointed, greene on both fidesalmoftalike, hauing fo flender jong 
fgoteftalkes thatthe leaues cannet ftand forthright, but bend downwards, 
with a more rugged barkethen the white Poplartree. Clufius thinketh this 
large defcriptionis but anample defcription of thethird kinde of Poplar, 
‘called Lybica,the Afpentree, which Gazatranflateth Alpina : but who fo 
will well confider it, fhall finde it neyther anfwerable to any Poplar tree,in 
that it beareth not cods as Cere# doth ; nor vntathis Arbor Jude, becaule it 
_beareth not white branches. Clufius faith alfo, thatthe learned of Mom- 
pelier in his time, referred it to Co/ytea of Theophraftus in histhird booke 
and feuenteenth chapter,where he doth liken itto the leaues of the broadeft 
leafed Bay tree, but larger and rounder, green on the vpperfide,and whitith 
vnderneath, and whereunto (ashefaith) Theophraftus giueth cods in the 
fourteenth chapter of the fame third booke:and by the contracting of their 
_ defcriptions both together, faith, they agreevato this Indastree. But I find 
fome doubts and differences in thefeplaces: forthe Celutza that Diofcori- 
des mentioneth in the {aid fourteenth chapter of his third booke, hath(as 
he faiththere) aleafe like vnto the Willow, and therefore cannot bee the 
_ fame Colatea mentioned in the feuenteenth chapter of the fame third book, 
which hath abroade Bay leafe : indeede hee gineth feedein cods : bur 
. that with broade Bay leaues is (as he faith) without eyther flower or fruite . _ 
and befidesall this, he faith the rootes are very yellow, which isnottobee © 
-» foundin this —4r6or Ivde,or Iudas tree: let others now iudgc if thefe things 
can bee well reconciled together. Some hauefor the likeneffe of the cods 
~-ynto Beane cods, called it Fabage, And Clofius called it Siliqna filueftris, 
Itis generally in thefe dayes called _4rbor Inde, and in Englifhafter the La- 
tiac name, vntilla fitter may be had, Iudas tree. | ean
