Gwipanelta , Convolvulus albm , alio Kwir Arborum : 
Others call it Volubllh , alfo Volub'ilis communis: and 
in Eng/ijh, 'Bindweed, 'While ■Bindweed , and the 
Greater -Bindweed. 
II. The K/Wr. Of the Bind-vieeds we have to 
treat of in this Work, there ire chiefly three, t.TV 
Common great Bindweed , as alfo the Le/s aforenamed, 
of which in this Chap. 2. The /e/Tee fi/ew Bind-weed. 
3. The Black Bind-weed. Of which in the two next. 
III. The Defcription. The Root is whitijh and 
f mull , of the largenefs of Qiitch-grafs, or Something 
bigger, running much under ground , and /hooting 
jorth again in J ever a/ places : it lives under ground 
all Winter , and /boots forth a frefh every Spring, 
and ye Ids Milk, being broken, from this Root Jprings 
up Jlender winding Salks, which run up, and wind 
tbemfelves upon hedges, bujhes, or what is next it to 
catch hold 0/ -, and if there is nothing for it to climb 
upon, it runs it ft if along upon the ground, ef penal- 
ly on the banks of dry ditches. The Leaves are di- 
vers and large, -growing fever ally on the S talks, fome- 
what long, and pointed at the further end, and parted 
into two parts or points at the broad part next to the 
Stalk, making it feem almoft three fquare, being 
fmooth, and of a pale green colour, yielding a milk, 
being broken, but not fo plentifully as Scamtnony . 
At the Joints with the Leaves towards the tops of 
the Branches come forth large White Flowers, in fa- 
/hion of a Bell, without any cut or divifton in them 
which being pa/fed off, there Comes forth round skin- 
ny Husks, or Heads, containing within them many 
J mall blackifh Seeds, and alrnofi three cornered. This 
Great Bind-weed is fo like unto Scammony, that 
excepting the largenefs of the Roots, and the grea- 
ter force in purging, which indy both of them proceed 
in part from the Climate, one would think it to be 
one of the kinds of Scamniony, whofe many fender 
winding Stalks run up, and wind them/ elves upon 
whatever funds next, or near to them. 
IV. The Leffer is like the Greater in moft re- 
f pedis, except the Magnitude. 
V. The Places. It grows throughout this King- 
dom, near hedges and dry ditches, and other like 
places.

degree: Vulnerary, Arthri tick, and a little Cathar- 
tick.

and difeufling Tumors.
