 Betonicd^ although the Antients 

 haue fo called Betony ; It hath large leaties

 (whereof it took his name)rifing immediately 

 from the root:among which come vp ftalkes of 

 a cubit high,befct with Ieaucs very deeply cut 

 or jagged euen to the middle of the rib, not 

 much vnlike the male Scabious. The ftalkes 

 towards the top diuide themfelues intoother 

 fmall branches, at the top whereof they beare 

 floures fomewhat fcaly, like the Knapwced,but 

 not fo great nor hard : at the top of the knap 

 commeth forth a bufhie or thrummy floure, of 

 a purple colour. The root is threddy,and there- 

 by increafeth and becommeth of a great quan- 



tine.

 difference.
