4. Anchupi. Sea Buglofle or Alkanct. 
The Sea Buglofle or A lkanet hath many long, rough, narrow , and darke greene 
leaues, fpread vpon the ground (yet foine that growe by the Sea fide arc rather hoarie 
and whitifh) among thefe leaues rifeth vp a ftalke, fpread at thetoppe into many bran- 
ches, whereon (land the flowers in tufts, like vnto the Garden Buglofle, orrather 
Comfrey,but lefler ; in fome plants of a reddidi blew colour , and in others more red 
orpurplilh, and in others of ayellowifh colour: after which comethcfeedcs, very 
like vnto Buglofle, butfomewhat longer and paler : the roote of moftof them be- 
ingttanfplanted,arefomewhatblacki(hontbe outfide, vntill the later end of Sum-

and hauing no red colour at all. 
y. Limonium Riusvolfij. Marfii Buglofle. 
This Limonium (which I referre here to the kindes of Buglofle, as prefumlffg it is 
the fitted place whereto infert it)hath many long,narrow,and fomewhat rotighleaues 
lying vpon the ground, waued or cut in on both fides ,like an Indenture, fomewhat like 
the leaues of Cererachor M.ltwafl, amongwhichrifevptwo or three (hikes, fome- 
what rough alfo, and with thin skinnes like wings,indented on both fides thereof alfo, 
like the leaues, hauing three fmall, long, rough , and three fquare leaues at euery ioy nt 
where it brancheth forth ; at the toppe whereof fland many flowers vpon their foote 
{hikes, in fuch amanner,as is not feene in any other plant, thatlknow : foralthough 
that fome ofthe fmall winged foot flalkesare fhorter, and fome longer, (landing as it 
were flatwife, or all on one fide, and not round like an vmbell, yet are they euen at the 
toppe, and not one higher than another ; eachof which fmall foote ftalkes doe beare 
foure or fiue greenifh heads or huskes, ioyned together, out of each of which doe a- 
rife other pale or bleakc blew ftiffc huskes, as if they were flowers, made as it were of 
parchment, which hold their colour after they are dry a long time ; and out of thefe 
huskes likewife, doe come (at feuerall times one after another, and not all at one time 
ortogether) white flowers, confiding of fiue fmall round leaues, withfome white 
threds in the midd le : after thefe flowers are pad, there come in their places fmall long 
feede, inclofed in many huskes, many of thofe heads being idle, notyeeldingany 
good feede, but chaffe, efpecially in our Countrey , for the want of fufficient heate of 
the Sunne, as I take it : the roote is fmall, long, and blackifh on the outfide, and perifli- 
eth at the firfl approach of Winter.
