high, or more , the Stalk 
is freight, round and hai- 
ry, pale or yellowifli, or 
brownifh ; whereon are 
Leaves that are narrow 
and longilh, if they may 
be called Leaves, for they 
feem rather the Beginning 
of Leaves : They foon fade, 
and Flowers fucceed them, 
which are on a Spike', like 
the Flowers of Orchis, but

are of a dull yellow Co- 
lour. The Root is round
