p. 19S. " Erysimum sylvestre, Wilde bancke Cresses, with leaves like 

 Dandelion, ... I found it growing at a place by Chelmesforde in Essex 

 called little Baddowe. " 



This would be Sisymhrium polyceratimn L., but Johnson 

 says : — ^^ 



" If our Author meant this which I have described and given you the 

 the figure of (as it is probable he did), I doubt he scarce found it wilde." 



p. 249. " Brassica marina Anglica. . . The sea Colewoort groweth 

 naturally vpon the bayche and brims of the sea, where there is no earth to bee 

 seene, but sand and rowling pibble stones, which those that dwell neere the 

 sea doe call Bayche : I found it growing ... in many places neare 

 Colchester." [Cya7nbe maritima L.] 



p. 257. " Att'iplex iiuti'ina . . . certaine Orache . . . I have found 

 in our owne country, neere the sea side . . it groweth by the blockhouse 



of Tilberie." \_Atriplex lacimata L.] 



Johnson (p. 325) suppresses this locahty, without comment. 



p. 278. " Thorne apples . . . The iuyce of Thorne apples boiled 

 with hogges grease to the forme of an vnguent or salve, cureth all inflamma- 

 tions whatsoeuer, all manner of burnings or scaldings, as well of fire, water, 

 boyling leade, gun-powder, as that which comes by lightning, and that in very 

 short time, as my self have found by my dayly practise, to my great credit 

 and profit. The first experience came from Colchester where Mistresse Lobel 

 a Merchants wife there being most grieuously burned with lightning, and not 

 finding ease or cure in any other thing, by this found helpe when all hope 

 was past, by the report of Mr. William Ramme, publique Notarie of the said 

 towne, was perfectly cured. [Datura stramonium L.]
