The Oxe-eie which is generally holden to be the true Buphthalmum^ hath many leaues fpred 

 vpon the ground, of a light greene colour, laied far abroad like wings, con lifting of very many fine 

 jags,fet vpon a tender middle rib : among which fpring vp diuers ftalks, ftiffeand brittle, vpon the 

 y top whereof do growfaire yellow leaues,fet about a header ball of thrummie matter, fuch asisiti 

 the middle of CammomilI,like a border or pale.The root is tough and thicke, with certain firings 

 faftned thereto.

 compofed ofdiuers fmall Ieaues,and thofe fnipt about the edges like the teeth o; a faw.The flours 

 grow on the tops of the ftalks,in fhape like thofe of the other Oxe-eie • the middle part whereof is
