lyke a blacke morbery, but blacker & greater. The other kynde is 

 called Lycoctonum, & in englishe it maye be called wolfes bayne. 

 But this kynde is deuided into two other kyndes, of whiche I neuer 

 sawe any kynde in Englande, the one hath leaues lyke crowfote, 

 and blewe floures lyke hodes, and it is called muench kappen in 

 duche, and it maye be called in englishe mokes coule or blewe 

 wolfsbaine. The other kinde hath leaues lyke a playne tree or like 

 Palma christi & yelowe floiu-es, thys maye be called in Englishe 

 yelowe wolfesbayn. I haue sene the former kind in great plentie 

 vpon the alpes bet^vene Clauena & Spelunca, and in manye gardines 

 in Brabant, the latter kynde dyd I neuer se but in gardines. 



Acorus. 



Acorus groweth not in England, wherfore they are farre deceyued 

 that vse the yelowe flourdeluce, whiche some call gladen, ^for 

 Acorus, for Acorus is bote, bytinge and opening, but gladen is 

 colde, vnsauery and astringent. I thynke that the great Galanga is 

 the true Acorus. If they haue not it they maye vse Calamus 

 aromaticus, or Asarabacca for Acorus. Acorus is bote and -dry in 

 the thirde degree. 



Adiantum. 



Adiantura is called in greke Adianton, in duche iunkfrawen 

 hare, of the herbaries Capillus veneris & groweth not in englad 

 for it that is take here for Adiantum is trichomanes in Dioscorides. 

 Howe be it ye may vse trichomanes for Adianto, for they are of 

 lyke virtue. Adiantura groweth in Italy in welles, and in the alpes 

 in watery or drepjTig rockes, and especially whereas the first water 

 beg>'nneth to stande, if that a rocke lyke a browe, hange ouer the 

 wel or water, it may be named in englishe Venus heir or Coloder 

 maidens heir. Venus heir is in a meane tempre betwene bote & 

 colde. 



Agaricus. 



Agaricus is called in greke agaricos, in english agarike, in duch 

 daunesthawm. Agarike groweth not in Englad, but in the alpes 



»Avj.
