are somewhat rounder, and the hirgest of them are bent in 

 before. The stalk is somewhat knotty and woody. 



The flower apjiearcth at first wrapt up like a leaf, but after 

 it is grown out a little more, one may see it to be a flower ; 

 it grows out between the leaves on the same stiilk. 



The colour and shape of these flowers I could not at that 

 time observe, because they were not yet blown, much less 

 could I gather the seed. 



The root is long, slender, round, woody, and knotty, it 

 hath small branched fibers at the bottom : I found it in the 

 South Bay, behind the cookery of Harlern, on the 19th of 

 Ju7ie and the 17th of July. Since I saw neither the flower 

 nor seeds, and in probability it would have put forth more 

 leaves, I cannot determine whether it be the pyrola mininia, 

 whereof Clusius giveth us a cutt and description in the fifth 

 book of his rare plants, in the twentieth chapter ; or whether 

 it maybe the Pseudochamce Buxus oi \he Hortus Echstetensis , 

 which is given by Clusius, in the 72nd chapter of the before- 

 mentioned book, by the name of Anonymos Colutecs Jlore, 

 and accurately described ; and Camerarius, in his Hortus, 

 giveth it us under the name of Anonymos Pervincce folio. 



CHAP. X. 



Of an Herb like a Strawberry.^ 



This agrecth in its leaves with the straw^berry, for it hath 

 three cut leaves on the end of the stalks, and its flower hath 

 commonly five leaves (seldom but four) and is like a straw- 

 berry flower ; the stalks are round and rough, and so are the 

 leaves. 



On the stalk you see two leaves one against the other, of a 

 diflcring figure and bigness, for one looketh like a hand and 

 ^ Potentilla (^species).
