TbUfpi Creticum. Candy Tufts. 
O F the many forts of TbUfpi it is not the fcope of this worke to relate, I will fe- 
ted but onely two or three, which for their beaucie are fit to bee inferred into 
this garden. 
TbUfpi Creticum vmteUetum flere site dr purpuree .' 
Candy T ufts white and purple. 
This fmall plant rifeth feldome aboue a footeand a halfe high,hauing fmall,narrow 
long and whitilh greene leaues, notched or dented with three or foure notches’ on each 
fide, from the middle to the point-wards ; from among which rife vp the (hikes 
branched fromthebottomealmofl: intodiuers fmall branches, at the toppes whereof 
(land many fmall flowers, thick thruft together in an vmbell or tuft, making them feeme 
to be fmall, round, double flowers of many leaues, when as eucry flower is (ingle, and 
ftandeth a part by it felfe,of a fairc white colour in fome plants, without any fpot,and 
in others with a purplifh fpot in the centre or middle, as if fome ®f the middle leaues 
were purple, in others againe the whole flower is purplifh all ouer,which make a pretty 
(hew in a garden : the feedc is contained in many fmall and flat feed veffels, which (land 
together in an vmbell, as the flowers did, in which arc contained fome what reddifh 
feede, like vnto fome other forts of TbUfpi.aWei Treaklc Muftards : the rooteis fmall 
and hard, and peri(heth euery yeare hauing giuen feede. 
nurpiMirU We haue another fort, whofe leaues before it (endeth forth any ftalke, area little 
*«««*>• toothed, or finely dented about the edges, and brancheth not fo much out, but carryeth 
an vmbell of purplifh flowers like vnto the former, and paler yellow feede. 
The Place! 
Thefe doc grow in Spainc and Candie, not farre from the Sea fide . 1 
ThcTime. 
Thefe TbUfpi giue not their flowers vntill the end of Iune, or beginning 
of Iuly,and the feed is ripe foone after. 
The Names. 
The firft is named by fome, Brett, or Ardis, as Dodonatus, but Brett 
is another plant differing much from this. Wee call one fort, TbUfpi Creti- 
cum, and the other TbUfpi Btticum mtriuum, becaufe the one came from 
Spaine, and the other from Candy ; we giue it in Englifh, the name of 
Tufts, becaufc it doth fit the forme of the flowers beft, although ordinarily 
all the TbUfpi arc Englilhed Wilde Muftardes. 
TheVertues. 
Candy, or Spanifli Tufts, is not fo (harpe biting in tafte, as fome other 
of the Thlafpies are, and therefore is not to be vied in medicines, where 
Tbltjpi (hould be in the ftead thereof.
