This is a verie comely plant growinge like a pyramide. 



The maine stalk is 3 or 4 foot high, greene, smooth, with some 

 edges, not hollowe but filled with a white spungie pith, growinge

 sendeth forth many branches, not growinge so high as the stalk. 



The leaves arc many, & spread uppon the ground before the stalk 

 groweth uppe, greene & smooth on both sides, without nicks by the 

 sides, usuallie with 5 ribbes, like those of quinque nervia plantayne, 

 about — ynches long & — ynches broad. Also such leaves growe 

 on the stalks and branches, but small and shorter towards the toppe, 

 not by cooples but heare and there. 



The flowers make a comely spike, & as the stalk and branches 

 growe so they flower still upwards nere their topps hollowe, of the 

 bignes of the toppe of the little finger, the upper side half an ynch 

 longe, the lower side hath lipps stickinge forth of a quarter of an 

 ynch, & on ech side of the flower ther is one excrescence or — 

 like the toth of a sawe, in the inside there is usually 4 cheives 

 growinge to the upp part of the flower, the whole is of a rustic 

 iron color, with many purplish strakgs, & somewhat hayrie both 

 without & within. 



The flowers fallen, the seed vessels playnely appeare makinge 

 a longe spike, besettinge the stalks and branches round about, in 

 forme round and sharpe pointed, but half as bigge as the flower 

 half an ynch large at the lower part of ech seed vessel 1 groweth 

 fower scalie leaves, half as bigge but fully as longe as the naylc of 

 the little finger.— ^6'. f. 137 b.
