to be two or three feet or more high , according as the 
Ground is in goodnefs -, at the Joynts whereof grow 
two Leaves a piece upon Foot Stalks , «0/ nwcfc unlike 
to Nettle Leaves , but that they are foft and fome- 
what hoary , and ?iot at all flinging , of a ftrong un- 
p leaf ant Jent , efpe dally if growing in fhaddowy places , 
but nothing fo Jlrong if growing in the open Fields : 
at the tops of the Stalks grow the Flowers , _/?/ in 
Lundies, for or five at a fpace , and many of them one 
above another in manner of a f piked head , <?wry 0/7,? 
funding in a greenifh Husk , /fte 0/' the 
other more pie af ant fented Dead Nettles, but not fo 
great , nor of fo fad a red or pur plifh Color , efpe dal- 
ly the Heads or upper parts-, but : tbe lower Labels or 
Lips have fome white fpots in them : after the Flowers 
are fallen, there grows within thoje Husks, fnall 
round , but fome what rough Seed, four of them for 
the mofl part Jland together, which are of a black Co- 
lor when Ripe. 
V. The Pale finking Dead Nettle, hot a pretty 
thick Root and full of Strings, from whence r/Jesup 
a long, fquare, hairy Stalk or Stalks, out of which 
comes fever al pale green broad Leaves, fet upon long 
hairy Foot Stalks, and higher up, fitch Tike but leffer 
Leaves thereon , with f undry fnall pale yellowifh 
Flowers, fet together at ] paces, which turn into fnall 
round pointed Heads, with fnall blackifh Seed in 
them-, the whole Plant is of a Jlrong finking fmell. 
VI. The Hoary finking Dead Nettle, has a Root 
much like to the former kinds, from whence comes 
Herbs „ 
Stalks fquare, foft , and hoary, but fhortcr, very 
(lender and weak, creeping as it were by the Ground, 
zvi/h two Leaves fet by the Joynts likewife, foft and 
and hoary, but more hoary underneath, and not fo 
/arge-as the firft kind of Galeopfis-' the top of the 
Stalks end in a long fpike of purp/ifi Flowers, fet in 
Rundles as in the other, after which comes the Seed 
Black alfo as the former. 
VII. The yellow finking Dead Nettle, has much 
Juch a like Root as the others, whence comes forth 
Jipuarelow Stalks, not above a Cubit or a Foot and a 
half high, with long Leaves fet thereon by couples , 
very like unto Nettle Leaves, f nailer below next the 
Ground, than up higher upon the Stalks, being hairy, 
but not fo finking as the firfl , yet J me l Ting very 
Jlrong: the Flowers grow in long f piked Heads m 
like manner, but are all yellow when fully blown, con - 
Jifing of two Leaves, the uppermof whereof is not 
fo much hooded as the former, but is as it were a 
coyer to the lower, and turns it felf up again, ha- 
ving fome yellow threads in the middle -, but while it 
is in the bud, it is fome what redijh, after which 
comes forth the Seed in the fame Husks. 
VIII. The Places. Red Archangel grows almoft
