CHAP. XXXVI. 

 Pulmonaria, Lungwort, or Cowflips of lerufalem. 



ALthough thefe plants are generally more vfed as Pot-herbes for the Kitchen, 

 then as flowers for delight, yet becaufe they are both called Cowflips, and are 

 of like forme, but of much lefle beauty, I haue ioyned them next vnto them, in 

 a diftincl: Chapter by themfelues, and fo may pafle at this time. 



i. Pulmonaria maculofa. Common fpotted Cowflips of lerufalem. 



The Cowflip of lerufalem hath many rough, large, and round leaues, but pointed 

 at the ends, (landing vpon long foot-ftalkes, fpotted with many round white fpots on 

 the vpperfides of the fad greene or browne leaues, and of a grayer greene vnderneath : 

 among the leaues fpring vp diuers browne ftalkes, a foote high, bearing many flowers 

 at the toppe, very neare refembling the flowers of Cowflips, being of a purple or red- 

 dim colour while they are buds, and of a darke blewifh colour when they are blowne, 

 (landing in brownifh greene huskes, and fometimes it hath beene found with white 

 flowers : when the flowers are part, there come vp fmall round heads, containing 

 blacke feed : the roote is compofed of many long and thicke blacke firings. 



2. Pulmonaria altera non maculofa. Vnfpotted Cowflips of lerufalem. 



The leaues of this other kinde are not much vnlike the former, being rough as they 

 are, but f mailer, of a fairer greene colour aboue, and of a whiter greene vnderneath, 

 without any fpots at all vpon the leaues : the flowers alfo are like the former, and of 

 the fame colour, but a little more branched vpon the ftalkes then the former : the 

 rootes alfo are blacke like vnto them. 



3. Pulmonaria angujlifolia. Narrow leafed Cowflips of lerufalem. 



The leaues hereof are fomewhat longer, but not fo broad, and fpotted with whitifh 

 fpots alfo as the former : the ftalke hereof is fet with the like long hairy leaues, but 

 fmaller, being a foote high or better, bearing at the toppe many flowers, (landing in 

 huskes like the firft, being fomewhat reddifh in the bud, and of a darke purplim blew 

 colour when they are blowne open : the feede is like the former, all of them doe well 

 refemble Buglofle and Comfrey in mod parts, except the roote, which is not like 

 them, but llringie, like vnto Cowflips, yet blacke. 



The Place. 



The Cowflips of lerufalem grow naturally in the Woods of Germany, 

 in diuers places, and the firft kinde in England alfo, found out by lohn 

 Goodier, a great fearcher and louer of plants, dwelling at Maple-durham 

 in Hampfhire. 



The Time. 



They flower for the moft part very early, that is, in the beginning of 

 Aprill. 



The Names.

 culofa, is added for di(lin6tions fake. Of fome it is called Symphitum macu- 

 lofum, that is, fpotted Comfrey. In Engli(h it is diuerfly called ; as fpotted
