? Lapsana Zaciiitha L. 

 Cichorium verrucatum. i Sept. 1621

 Cicorie but smaller, a little hairy & very bitter, amongst which 

 springe uppe round straked stalks 2 or 3 foot high, hairy belowe, 

 smooth above, devided into branches, bearinge leaves on the lower 

 parte like the former, but smaller towards the toppe. The flowers 

 are like those of Cicorie but very small, yealowe & growe on very 

 short footstalks, forth of the bosomes, on the sides, and on the 

 topps of the branches, which turne not into downe but into hard 

 hedds, with a little tuft at the toppe, composed commonly of eight 

 knotts, corners or bunches sett orderly round, wherein is the seed.

 full of small branches & little thredds. 1| The whole herbe perisheth 

 when the seed is ripe. — MS. f. 102. 



Scorpiurtis subvillosa L. 

 Scorpioides multiflorus Boelii. i Sept. 1621

 without any rough haire, yet finely checkquered, and seven times 

 bigger than any of the rest, fully as big as a great Palmer-worme, 

 wherein is the difference : the seed is almost round, yet extending
