'Q(y THE ENr.LTSH PHVSICIAN ENLARGED. 



small and jagged, not much unlike to those of Bucks- 

 horn Plantain, but much smaller, and not so hairy ; the 

 flowers grow among the leaves in small, rou^h, whitish 

 clusters; the seeds are smaller and brownish, of a bitter 

 tiiste. 



Place.'] They grow in dry, barren, sandy grounds. 



Time.} They flower and seed when the rest of the 

 plantains do. 



Government and Virtnas.'] This is also under the domi- 

 nion of Saturn; the virtues are held \o be the same as 

 Rucks. horn Plantain, and therefore by all authors it is 

 joined with it ; the leaves bruised andapplicd to the place, 

 stop bleeding; the herb bruised and applied to warts, 

 will make them consume and waste away in a short time. 



Bugle. $ (h. m. \.) 



Besides the name Bugle, 'tis called Middle Confound 

 and Middle Comfrey, Brown Bugle, Sicklewort, and 

 Herb-Carpenter; though in J:^ssex we call another herb 

 by that name. 



Descript.'] This hath larger leaves than those of the Self- 

 heaJ, but else of the same fashion, or rather longer, insom« 

 green on the upper side, and in others more brownish, 

 ^Jented about the edges, somewhat hairy, as the square 

 stalk is also, which riseth up to be half a yard high some- 

 times, with the leaves set by couples, from the middle 

 almost whereof upwards stand the flowers, together Avith 

 many smaller and browner leaves than the rest, on the 

 stalk below set at a distance, and the stalk bare betwixt 

 Ihem; among which flowers are also small ones of a blu- 

 ish and sometimes of an ash colour, fashioned like the 

 ilowers of ground-ivy, after which come small, round, 

 l)lackibh seeds; the root is composed of many strings, and 

 spreadeth upon the ground. 



The white flowered Bugle difleretli not in form or 

 greatness from the former, saving that the leaves and 

 stalks arc always green, and never brown, like the other, 

 and the flowers thereof are white. 



Place.] They grow in woods, copses, and fields, gene- 

 rally throughout England, but the white flowered BugU 

 )S {Qot so pltDtifuI as the former.
