Poplar tree, both in greatneffe and whiteneffe of the branches, with the leafe 
of anluie, without corners on the one parr, cornered onthc other, and 
fliarpe pointed, greeneonboth fides almoft dike, hauingfo (lender long 
footeftulkcs that the leaues cannot ftand forthright, but bend downward ° 
with a more rugged barke then the white Poplar tree. Clufius thinketh this 
large defeription is but an ample defeription of the third kinde of Poplar, 
called Lybia, the Afpen tree, which Gazatranflateth Alfint ; but who fo 
will well confidcr it, (hall fiud.e it neyther anfwerable to any Poplar tree,in 
that it bcareth not cods as cercu doth 5 nor vnto this Arbor ludt, becaufeit 
beareth not white branches. Glufius lairh alfo, that the learned of Mom- 
pelier in .his time, referred it to Coljtet of Theophraftus in his third booke 
and feuenteenth chapter, where he doth liken it to the leaues of the broadeft 
leafed Bay tree, but larger and rounder, green on the vpperfide, and whittlh 
vnderneath, and whereunto (as hefaith) Theophraftus giueth cods in the 
fourteenth chapter of the fame third booke:and by the contracting of their 
deferiptions both together, faith, they agree vnto this Iudas tree. But I find 
fome doubts and differences in thefe places : for the CeluUt that Diofcori- 
des -nentioneth in the faid fourteenth chapter of his third booke, hath (as 
hefaith there) aleafe likevnto the Willow, and therefore cannot bee the 
fame Colutxt mentioned in the feuenteenth chapter of the fame third book 
which hath abroade Bay leafe : indeede heegiueth feedein cods : but 
that with broadc Bay leaues is fas he faith) without eyther flower or fruite • 
and befides all this, he faith the rootes are very yellow, which is not to bee 
found in this rbor I yds, or Iudas tree: let others now iudge if thefe things 
can bee well reconciled together. Some haueforthelikeneffeof thccods 
vnto Beane cods, called it Fuitgt. And Clufius called it Sthqui filuepu. 
It is generally in thefe day es called ^Arbtr ludt, and in Engliih after the La- 
tine name, vntill a fitter may be had, Iudas tree.

There is nothing extant in any Author of any Phyficallvfeithath, ney-

Liburnum, Beane Trefoile. 
T Here be three forts of thefe codded trees or plants, one neerc refembling ano- 
ther, whereof Anagfris of Diofcorides is one. The other two are called Li- 
burnum • the larger whereof Matthioluscalleth Anagfris then, and fo doe 
fome others alfo : the third is of the fame kinde with the fecond, but fmaller. I lhall 
not for this our Garden trouble you or my felfe withanymore of themthenone, 
which is the leffer of the two Liburnum , in that it is more frequent, and that it will far 
better abide then the Antgjru, which is fo tender, that it will hardly endure the winters 
of our Countrcy : and the greater Ltburnum is not fo eafily to be had. 
Laburnum. Beane Trefoile. 
This codded tree rifeth vp with vs like vnto a tall tree, with a reafonabJe great body 
xf it abide any long time in a place, couercd with a fmooth greene barke^ the branches 
are very long, greene, pliant, and bending any way, whereon are fet here and there di- 
uers leaues, three alwaies (landing together vpona long ftalk, being fomwhat long,and 
not very narrow, pointed at the ends, greene on the vpperfide, and of afiluerlhining 
colour vnderneath, without any fmell at all .• at the ioynts of thefe branches, where 
,the leaues ftand,come forth many flowers, much like vnto broome flowers, but not fo 
large
