is clufius bis tri folium ma- 
jus frimum . The other 
has Stalks, fome a Cubit 
high, with larger Joints

Trifolium majus tertium. 
Likewife we have in our 
Fields a fmall Trefoil that 
brings forth yellow Flow- 
ers, a greater and a lelfer, 
and divers others, alfo dif- 
fering from thefe in di- 
vers notable points ; The 
which , to diftinguifh a 
part, would greatly en- 
large our Volurrm , and 
yet to fmall purpofe : 
Therefore we leave them 
to be diftinguifh’d by the 
Curious, who may at the 
firft view, eafily perceive 
the difference , and alfo 
that they be of one Stock 
and Kindred. The great- 
er of thefe yellow Tre- 
foils, hath pretty large 
yellow Heads, which af- 
ter become of a brownifh 
Colour , and fomewhat 
refemble a Hop 5 whence 
Thaeius call’d it Lupelus 
Sylvaticus, Trifolium lutc- 
um alterum lupulinum :■ 
Dodonaus calls it trifolium 
(igrarium. The Leaves 
are fmall * and lightly 
nickt about the Edges. 
The leffer hath fm alter 
and far leffer yellowHeads , 
which are fucceeded by 
many little crooked Clu- 
ftring Seeds : The Leaves 
of this are fmall and 
fnipt about the Edges , 
Both this and the other 
have two little Leaves , 
dole by the faftning' of 
the Foot-ftalks of the 
the Leaves to the main 
Stalks. 
Common Meadow-Tre- 
foil grows in Meadows, 
Fertile Paihircs, and Wa- 
terifh Grounds, the other 
love the like Soil. They 
Flour i fh from May , to 
the end of Summer. The 
Leaves and Flowers of 
Meadow-Trefoils are cold 
and dry : The Deco- 
dfcion of Theee - leaved 
Grafs made with Hony, 
and ufed in a Clifter, is 
good againitthe Frcttings 
and Pains in the Inte- 
ftines, and driveth forth 
tough and flimy Humours 
that cleave to them. The
