copied in Parkinfons Theatre of Plants. John Ban- 
jo in , MatthioluSy Gerard , Parkinfon , and Morrifon , 
have given us Figures of this Oenanthe \ but thefe 
Reprefentations give us fcarcely any other Idea of the 
Plant, than that it is an umbelliferous one, with 
Roots divided like thofe of Afphodel . Of thefe, 
however, Morrifon $ (5^ is the belt , and his Defcrip- 
tion, in his Book de Umbelliferisy is very exa Ct and 
copious. Mr. Rays Defcription is taken from Lobel. 
I have at the Bottom of the $ Page recited the various 
Synonyma , under which this Plant is mentioned
