 dar : the barke is not very rhicke, and it is of a yel- 

 lowifh red : theleaues are of a maruellous gallant 

 greene colour, like to thofe of the Cypres tree, yet 

 thicker or more in number 5 in tafte bitter,of a'fpi- 

 ciefmell, and like Rofin: the boughes are broader, 

 and thick fet as it were with wings,Iike thofe of the' 

 Pitch tree and of the Yew tree : on which grow a 

 great number of bcries very round like thofe of the 

 little Cedars,which at the firft are green, but when 

 they be ripe they are of ablackirh blew.Outof the

 the other for the moftpart remaines barren. Both thefe grow in my garden.
