 if they had bin fnipt about the edges,which they were not : alfo I found at euery ioint two littl 

 hooked prickles,3t not two little leaues or appendices at the fetting on of the foot-fta!ks,but 3 or 

 foure little leaues,as the rudiment of a young brancb,comming forth at the bofome of each foot- 

 ilalke:the longeft branch(as far as I remember) was not abouea fpan long 5 I then drew as perfeft a 

 figure as I could of the perfe&eft branch thereof,drawing as neer as I could the leaues to theirful

 of C lu fi t# yvhich I here giuc you^and the other in the 18 book & i44chap.ofthe bift.Lugd. which

not well confider it 5 for if he had,he might haue found tneie fo much different, thus farre to agree; 

 they both make the branches prickly and weakjthe leaues many on one rib,oneoppofit to another 

 without any od*d one at the end:but Clufitn figures the leaues foclofe together that they feeme but 

 one leafe,and Acofia makes them too farafunder,and both of them make them too fharpe pointed. 

 Clufitu made his to be taken from a dried plant, and ^Acofla I iudge made his by the Id.ra thereof 

 which he had in his memory 5 and after this maner,if my iudgement faile me not,are molt of the fi- 

 gures in him cxpreft:butofthisenough,if not too much.
