The fift kinde of Plantain hath beene* 



ftrangerin Eogland and elfwherevntiltheim- 

 preffion hereof Thecaufe why I fay fo is, the 

 want of consideration of the beauty which is 

 in this plant,wherein it excel Ieth all the other. 

 Moreouer, becaufe it hath not been written of 

 or recorded before this prefent time , though 

 plants oflefTer moment haue bin very curia'. 

 fly fet forth. This plant hath leaues Iikevnto 

 them of the former , and more orderly fpread 

 vpon the ground like a Rofe : amongft vvhicn 

 rife vp many fmall ftalkes like the other Pun- 

 tains,hauing at the top of euery one a fine dott- 

 ble rofe altogether vnlike the former,ctanno- 



rie or rufly green colour. . 



$ I take this fet forth by our Author to dc 

 the fame with that which Clufm rcceiued &*

 outof themidftoftheRofe,and fome heads are otherwife fhaped j alfo the whole planus 

 hoary than the common Rofe Plantaine. 



6 This Plantain rauft not here be forgot,though it be fomwhat hard to be found : his 

 foots,and ftalkes are like thofe of the ordinarie, but in fteadof a compaft fpike it hatnone ^ 

 diuided after the manner as you fee it heerc exprefled in the figure, and the colour therco. i o
