inferiour to the other, and is nothing fo bitter as the fweete Marierome, and thereby

This Tyme hath neyther fo wooddy branches, nor fo hard leaues, but groweth 
lower, more fpreading, and with fomewhat broader leaues : the flowers are of a pur- 
plifli white colour, ftanding in roundlcs round about theftalkes, at the ioynts with 
leaues at them likewife. This Tyme endureth better and longer then the former, and 
by fpreading it felfe more then the former, is the more apt to bee propagated by flip-
