DESCRIPTIONS OF PLANTS BY JOHN 

 GOODYER 



These descriptions of plants are for the most part the 

 earliest that are extant in the English language. They 

 are now printed for the first time from Goodyer's original 

 manuscripts, with others reprinted from passages con- 

 tributed to the second or emaculate edition of Gerard's 

 Herbal, printed in 1633. 



In the following Table the extent of Goodyer's botanical 

 labours is indicated by differences in the type. 



Table of Names with Modern Equivalents, grouped in 

 Natural Orders. 



Capitalletlers indicate plants of which descriptions are extant. 



Small letters indicate plants of which no descriptions are extant. 



Roman type indicates English plants. 



Italic type indicates Foreign and Garden plants. 



B, H, s, \v, &c., denote Record or First Mention for Britain or for the Counties of Hants, 



Sussex, or Wilts., &c. 

 Gardens are denoted by the names of their owners. 



Goodyer frequently quotes more than one name of a plant : in such cases we have 

 only printed one for reasons of economy of space. Determinations for which I have had 

 the advantage of the experience of Dr. Daydon Jackson, Mr. Britten, and Dr. Stapf are 

 marked with j., B., and s. respectively.
