Cirsiimt. 



Cirsium named in greeke Cirsion hath ben supposed of many 

 to be oure Buglosse, but they are decyued. I thynke that oure 

 Langdebefe shoulde be the ryghte Cirsion, if it had purple floures, 

 as it hath yealowe. Howbeit I thynke that it is the right Cirsion, 

 for the coloure of the herbe^ is diuerse in diuerse places. 



Cisthus. 



Cisthus groweth plentuously in Italy and one kinde of cisthus 

 groweth in my lordes gardine in Syon. Cisthus is called of some 

 Herbaries Rosa canina and rosago. It that groweth in Italy, which 

 I sawe in Ferraria hath shorter leaues, then thys cisthus that groweth 

 in Syon. Cisthus may be named in english cistsage or bushsage, 

 for the lykenes that it hath with sage. Cisthus bindeth and dryeth. 



^ Cistus ladanifera. 



Cisthus ladanifera hath loger and smaller leaues, then hath the 

 cisthus, it groweth muche in Spayne and also in Italy, whereas I 

 haue sene it, it may be named in England, London^ or Ladon- 

 shrub. It is almost hote in the seconde degree and bindeth som- 

 thynge. 



Clematis daphnoides. 



Clematis daphnoides is called of the latin wryters Vinca peruinca, 

 and in englishe Perewincle, in duche ingrien, and in frenche peruitica. 



Clematis altera. 



Clematis altera is not wythwynde, as Ruellius gessed, but an 

 other herbe far vnlyke, which I sawe once in Farraria, it hath 

 sharper & loger leaues the peruinca hath. It may be named in 

 englishe bush Perewincle. 



Clinopodium. 

 Clinopodium groweth plentuously aboute Bon by the Rehne'* 

 * flour. 2 c iij, back. ^ Laudan. * Rheiie.
