Lib. I. 
Flowers. Ot the Bell-Flowers of which we (hall 
take notice, there are two Principal Kinds, viz. i. 
The Small Bell-Flower , of which we Treat in this 
Chapter. 2. The Great Bell-Flower •, of which in 
the next Chapter. 
III . Of the Small Bell-flower , we take notice of 
three kinds : j . Campanula Cerulea vel Rot undifolia. 
Blew or Round-leaved Bellflower. 1. Campanula al- 
ba, White Bell-flower. 3. Campanula luted , Fellow 
Bell-flower. 
IV. The Defcription. The Blew or Round-leavM 
has a Jmall thready Root, from whence rifles up Leaves 
which lye upon the ground, round and Jmall, almoft 
like unto a VioletCeaf, but rounder, and fnipped or 
dented, from whence rife up divers weak, /lender 
Stalks about two foot high , jet from the bottoms to 
the tops, with many very Jmall, long, narrow leaves, 
where the flowers J 1 and upon Jmall long ftalks, very 
like in fafhion ana bignejs unto the Jmall Garden 
Ramp ions, but of a perfetl blew colour, moft common- 
ly turning towards Purple, and Jometimes White, thd 
feldom : after whieh follows Jmall Seeds, in j'mall 
Heads, like thoje of Rampions. 
V. The White Bell-flower ( which fame account a 
Kind of Wild Rampion J is a Jmall Plant with a J len- 
der Root, of the bignejs of a Jmall ftraw, with fome 
firings Jpringing from it. The leaves are fomewhat 
long, f moot!) , and of a perfetl green colour, lying flat 
upon the ground. From thence rife Jmall tender ftalks 
Jet here and there with a few leaves -, and the flowers 
grow at the tops of them of a Milk-white colour. 
VI. The Yellow Bell-flower is a very beautiful 
Plant of an handful high : It has roots like to the Blew 
or Round-leaved •, and the leaves are almofl like to 
the Jame,Jave that thoje which lie next the ground 
are not Jo round as the former, a little larger, and 
longifh , and fome of them a little dented about the 
edges -, the flowers in their way and manner of grow- 
ing, are like the former, but differ only in the colour, 
theje being of a pale yellow. 
VII. The Places. They grow wild in moft places 
in England, efpecially upon barren fandy Heaths, 
and fuch other like places. 
VIII. The Times. They flower all the Summer 
long, fome continuing till the cold of Autumn makes 
them decay. 
IX. The Qualities. They are cold and dry in the 
firft degree, of the nature of Rampions : Aftringent, 
Stomatick, and Alterative. 
X. Preparations. You may make therefrom, 1. A 
diftilled Water of the whole Plant. 2. A Cataplaflm 
of the Root. 
The Virtues. 
XI. The Diftilled Water. It is good againft dif- 
colourings and deformities of the skin, cleanfing it, 
and making the face very clear and fair. 
XII. The CataplaJ'm. The roots beaten into a Mafs, 
and made in'.o a Cataplafm, with Meal of Lupins 
and Vinegar, is reftri&ive, abates the Milk in Wo- 
mens Breafts, takes away fpots and marks of the 
skin, and removes many other of its deformities. 
LXIV. 
BELL-FLOWER Great. 
I. ' b ' HE Karnes. It lias no known Greek Name : 
X the Latins call it Campanula, and Campanula 
in agna : in Englijh, Great Bell-flower. 
I II. The Kinds. This is the fecond Species of our 
Generick Kinds, and is three-fold. 1. Campanula 
perficifolia, the Peach-leaved Bell-flower. 2. Campa- 
nula lattefcens pyramidalls. Campanula major ■, the 
Pyramidal milky Bell-flower. 3. Viola Mariana, 
Coventry Bells. 
III. The Defcription. The Peach-Ieav’d Bell 
flower has a Root very Jmall, white , and thready, 
creeping under the upper cruft of the ground, Jo that 
oft times the heat and drought of the Summer does 
parch it, and caufe it to wither away : from whence 
Jprings many Tufts or Branches of Leaves lying up- 
on the ground, which are long and narrow, much 
like to an Almond or Peach leaf, being finely nick'd 
about the edges, and of a fad green colour. From 
among theje rifle up divers Stalks two foot high, or 
more Jet with Leaves to the middle -, and from thence 
upwards, with many flowers ftanding on Jmall Foot- 
ftalks, one above another, with a Jmall Leaf at the 
foot of every one. The flowers ft and in Jmall green 
husks, Jmall and round at bottom, but wider open at 
the brim, and ending in five corners, with a three 
forked Clapper in the middle , Jet about with fome 
fmall threads tipt with Fellow, which flowers in fome 
Plants are pure White, but in others of a pale Blew, 
or Watchct colour, having little or no Jcent at all : 
the Seed is Jmall, and contained in round flat Heads , 
or Seed-VeJJels. 
IV. The La&efcens Pyramidalis is a great Bell- 
flower, whofle Root is thick and whitijh,yielding more 
ft ore of Milk, being broken, ( as the Leaves and 
Stalks aljo do) than any other of the Bell-flowers, 
every one of which do yield Mi Ik, fome more, fome 
lejs : From this Root rifles divers Stalks, a yard high 
or better , on which grow divers Jmooth, dark, green 
Leaves, broad at the bottom, and. Jmall at the point , 
fomewhat unevenly notch'd about the edges, and ftand- 
ing upon longer Foot-ftalks below, than thoje above. 
The Flowers are Blew, and in fome White, not Jo 
great or large as the former, but near of the fame 
fafhion, growing thicker, and more plentifully toge-
