172. Adders-tongue (r). On the borders of a wood by a foot- 

 way below Honey clugh-CTa,g t on the eail fide of a ftreamlet, near 

 Chejlerwood, in great abundance, on a dry bank, ufed for meadow. 

 I never met with it in any other place with us. The root is orbi- 

 culated at the crown, with cylindric bulbous fibres, an inch and 

 a half or two inches long, equally and uniformly extending 

 everyway in the ground, three or four inches deep. It fends 

 forth a fmgle ovated leaf, without a nerve, thick and fucculent, 

 of a yellowim-green. The ftalk is from three to near five inches 

 high. The tongue is flender and mucronated, for the mofl part 

 fimple, but fometimes bifid, and not unfrequently trifid. The 

 fructifications are clofely arranged in a double feries to the middle 

 of it, with an elegant kind of ferrature at the edges. It flowers 

 in May and June. It is ufed with great commendations for green 

 wounds. Made into an ointment with Dwarf-Elder^ it is an effec- 

 tual and never-failing remedy for cattle bitten by the adder, 

 and other pernicious reptiles.
