The Names. 
Our ordinary Borage by the confent of all the bed moderne Writers, is 
the true Buglejfum of Diofcorides, and that our Bugloffe was vnkr owneto 
the ancients. The tar age femper virens, Lobel calleth Bngiojfum femper vi- 
rens, thatis, Euer-liuing, orgreeneBugloife : but it more refembleth Bo- 
rage then Bugloffe 5 yet becaufe Bugloffe abideth greene, to auoyde that 
there Ihould not be two Buglofs femper virentia, I had rather call it Borage 
then Bugloffe. Anchufa hath diuers names, as Diofcorides fetteth downe. 
And fome doe call it Fucas herba, from the Greeke word, becaufe the roote 
giuing fo deepe a colour, was vfed to dye or paint the skinne. Others t «■ i ; t 
BugitffumHifpanicun, inEnglifh Alkanet,andof fome Orchaner, after the 
French. Limonium was found by Leonhartus Rauwolfius, neere vnto lop- 
pa, which he fetteth downe in the fecond Chapter of the third booke of 
his trauayles,and from him firft knowne to thefe parts : I haue, asyou fee 
referred it to the kindes of Bugloffe, forthat the flowers haue fome refem- 
blance vnto them, although I know that Limanium genuinum is referred to 
theBcetes. Let it therefore here finde a place of refidencc, vntill you or I 
can finde afitter ; andcallitasyouthinkebcft, eyther Limonium asRau- 
wolfius doth, or Marfhe Bugloffe as I doc, or if you can adde a more pro- 
per name, I (hall not be offended. 
TheVertues. 
Borage and Bugloffe are held to bee both temperate herbes, beeing vfed 
both in the pot and in drinkes that arecordiaIl,efpecially the flowers, which 
of Gentlewomen are candid for comfitts. The Alkanet is drying, and held 
to be good for wounds, and if apeeceof the roote be put into a little oyle 
of Peter or Petroleum, it giueth as deepe a colour to the oy le, as the Hype- 
ricon doth or can to his oylc,and accounted to be Angular good for a cc. or 
greene wound. 
The Limonium hath no vfe that wee know, more then for a Garden ; yet 
as Rauwolfius faith, the Syrians vfe the leaues as fallats at the Table.

Lychnia. Campions. 
T Here bee diuers forts of Campions, as well tame as wilde, and although fome 
of them that I (hall here entreate of, may peraduenture be found wilde in our 
owne Countrey, yet in regard of theirbeautifull flowers, they are to bee re- 
fpefted,and nourfed vp with the reft, to furnifh a garden of pleafure ; as for the wilde 
kindes, I will leauc them for another difeourfe.
