Water Parsnip. Apinm nodiflorum Reichb. f. 



and Caiicalis nodosa Scop. 

 Si'um repens. 27 Aug. 161 9 



Hath longe plaine and smoothe leaves, made and fashioned like 

 the leaves of the Ash havinge comonlie 4 or 5 small leaves 

 growinge on ech side of the midle ribbe directlie one against 

 another, snipt about the edges, amongst which come forth a round 

 chamfered or furrowed hollowe stalk, of the bignes of a thumbe, 

 browne or reddish neare the root, 4 or 5 foot longc, devided at the 

 ioyntes or knees into many p[ar]tes or braunches ymediatlie from 

 the root even to the toppe whereon growe the leaves without order 

 like the former but shorter, nowe and then of a browne colour 

 both above and underneath, of a stronge smell as is the whole 

 plant, the flowers are white and many in number consisting of 

 5 sharpc pointed leaves apeece, growinge at the ioynts or devidinge 

 of the stalkes, on short stems umbell fashion, after the manner of 

 Caiicalis nodosa cchinato semine BaiiJiini. The stalks creape or 

 run on the water, river or diches bankes, and hamper or matt them 

 selves fast together, (contrarie to both those before mentioned, 

 which growe upright and beare their flowers and seed at the topps 

 of their stalks and branches). The flowers past; there appeareth 

 the seed, two ioyned together at the first greene when it is ripe 

 of a browne colour like to parsley seed, of a stronge tast but not 

 plesant. The root is compacted of white threddie stringes infinite 

 in number for the most parte as small as haires growinge or 

 creepinge at the bottomc of the water within the mire or marish 

 ground, wherby it infinitely incrcaseth. The leaves of this plant 

 growe greene in or above the water all the yere winter and somen 

 This groweth plentifullie by the lakes and rivers sides at Droxford 

 in Hampshire. — MS. f. 83. 



Dewberry. Rubiis caesins L. 

 Rubus repens fructu caesio. 6 Sept. j6]9 



This hath a round stalke set full of small crooked and very 

 sharpe pricking thornes, and creepeth on hedges and low bushes of 

 a great length, on the upper side of a light red colour, and under- 

 neath greene, and taketh root with the tops of the trailing branches, 

 whereby it doth mightily encrease: the leaves grow without order, 

 composed of three leaves, and sometimes of five, or else the two 

 lower leaves are divided into two parts, as Hop leaves are now 

 and then, of a light greene colour both above and underneath. 

 The flowers grow on the tops of the branches, raccinatini, man)- 

 together, sometimes white, sometimes of a very light purple colour.
