 same in the mintfor of all plants that hauc bin 

 written of,there is not any more vnlike vntothe 

 Rofe,orany kmde thereof than this plantwhat 

 moued them thereto I know not:but thus much 

 of my owne knowledge, it hath neither lhapc, 

 nature, nor facultic agreeing with any Rofe; 

 the which doubtlefTe is a kind of Heath, as the 

 barren foile, and that among Heath, doth cui- 

 dently (hew,as alfo the Heathie matter where- 

 with the whole plant is poffefTed,agreeing with 

 the kindes of Heath in very notable points. It 

 iifeth vp out of the ground ,ofthe height of four 

 inches, or an hand breadth, compact or made 

 of fundry hard ftickes, (which are the flalkes) 

 clafping or (hutting it felfe together into a 

 round forme, intricately weauing it felfe one 

 flick ouerthwart another, like a little net : vpon 

 which wooddy flicks do grow leaus not vnlike 

 to thole of the Oliue tree, which maketh the 

 whole plant of a round forme,aiid hollow with-
