vc jins latifolia minor , five, Fes Anferinus , The lel- 
fer Wild Broad Leaved Arach , or Goofe hoot •, 
whole Defcriptlon, Virtues, Ffic. you may fee in 
Chap. 1 1 2. folloWing. This lalt Broad Leaved kind 
is called Minor, in refpeO: it is Recounted of the 
Idler Kind, and is Idler than the Great Broad Kind, 
deferibed in the former Chapter. 
III. The Defcriptions. T he firft , Narrow Leav’d 
Wild Arach, has a long f lender Root , with many 
brings coming from it , from whence ri/es up one 
pretty large Stalk , with many large Branches on it, 
all over Mealy or Sandy, with a grecnifh gray or 
white SandineJ's, ns alfo are the Leaves : the Leaves 
grow ftngle, and are placed irregularly up and down 
the Branches, they are long and narrow, almoft like 
the Leaves of Hydropiper, or Looftrife, but that they 
are fhorter and narrower, not dented on the edges, 
fet at the joints, fmooth, and pointed at the ends : 
The Stalks and Branches Jhoot up into long Spiky 
Heads, of green yellow F lowers, not much unlike to 
the great broad kind in the former Chapter , and the 
Seed like the fame alfo. 
IV. The other Narrow Leav’d Arach of the leffer 
kind, is not much unlike to the former, but every 
tvay leffer, and the Leaves narrower, mofily fmooth 
on the edges, and pointed, but fometime fome of 
them are divided or jagged, or a little notched, for 
which reafon Lobei called it, Atriplex Sylveltris po- 
lygoni aut Helxines folio. The Stalks, Flovoers and 
Seed, are alfo like the former. 
V. The Red Berry-bearing Arrach, is a Wild Ar- 
rack alfo in Spain ^ but with us it's Nurs'd up in 
Gardens : It is an Elegant Plant, having a Root fmall 
and Fibrous, and perifhing after Seed time, whence 
■ comes divers fender Branches fomewhat Woody, a- 
bout a Foot high , more or lefs, (according as the place 
where it grows, and the goodnefs of the Ground will 
produce, for all the Kinds of Araches, both Garden 
and Wild, delight to grow in a Fat, Rank Soil, cl* on 
Dunghills, Sic. ) from thefe Stalks and Branches come 
forth fmall corner'd Leaves , not much unlike to the 
Broad Leav'd Wild Arach in the former Chapters, 
fet at the joints one above another and at every of 
the faid joints with the Leaves, which ft and upon 
Foot-falks, even from the lowefi Leaves, near the 
Root, ft an as a fmall Red Berry , Clufler fafhion, that 
is like to a Bramble or Dew Berry, Clear, and alrnofi 
Tranf parent, with many fmall Grains in it, and full 
of an admirable Juice, as Red as Blood, or deep Red 
Wine, which being bruifed upon the back of the 
Hand, while it is frefh, will feem as if you had 
drawn Blood out thereof-, which Berry being dry grows 
blackif), and contains in it fmall blackifh Seed, out 
of which this very Beautiful Plant will fpring up e- 
very Tear of its own accord, if fuffered tofhed. 
VI. The Places. The two firft grow by Walls, 
old Hedges, Ditch fides, and Dunghills, in almoft 
all places throughout the Kingdom : the Berry -bear- 
ing is Wild in Spain, from whence being brought 
to us, it is planted and nourifhed up in Gardens. 
VII. The Times. They all Flower in the Summer 
Months, 4s May, June, July, and Augufi, the Seed 
continually ripening in the mean Seafon. 
VIII. The Qualities. Thefe Wild kinds are not fo 
Cold and Moift as the former, not exceeding the 
hrft Degree. They are Abfterfive, Attenuating, E- 
mollient, and Alterative 5 dedicated, as the others, 
to the Womb and Joints. 
IX. The Specification. They are proper againft 
Wounds and Ulcers, the Gout, Pains and Aches, 
proceeding from a hot Caufe. 
X. The Preparations. There are made thereof, 
1. A Ponder of the Seed. 2. A Juice. 3. An E fence. 
4. A DecoUion. 5. A Syrup. 6. A Cataplafm. 7. A 
Bafiam. 8. The Juice of the Berries of the Red 
Berry- bearing. 
The Virtues. 
XI. The Ufes of all thefe Preparations are the 
fame with thofe in the two aforegoing Chapters, 
and therefore to them we refer you * thefe Herbs 1 
having the fame Virtues and Properties, but not full 
out fo Cold and Moift. 
XII. The Berries of the Red Berry -bearing Arach . 
The Beauty of the Juice is admirable ■, but what 
Phyfical Virtues it may have is not fo fully known : 
being given inwardly to j. dram, or more, in Red 
Wine or Alicant, it is good againft Spitting Bloody 
Pilfing Blood, or the Bloody Flux : The Juice be- 
ing inipiflated and reduced to a Pouder, is good to 
ftop Bleeding outwardly : and inwardly given, it 
flops the overflowing of the Loches, or the Terms 
in Women, and ftrengthens the Womb. Doubtlefs 
out of it there may be made feveral glorious Pig- 
ments, or Limning Colours, for the ules of Limners, 
Painters, &c. Dole of the inlpilfate Juice is halt a 
dram, or more, in any proper Vehicle.
