Of B U G L O S S, Wall and Stone. 
I. , "T‘ V H E Names. The firft of thefe is called in 
JL Greek , auxo-4 at : In Latin, by Bauhin, Ly- 
copfis -, and by Dcdonaus , Lycopfis Echij altera Spe- 
cies : and in Englifh, Wall Buglofs. 
II. The other is called in Greek, '‘Oyocu.a • by Ga- 
len ’o ffudt ©*o vivu Ofmas Phlonitis : In Latin, Onof- 
ma : and in Englifh, Stone Thighs. 
III. The Kinds. Of the Wall Buglofs there are 
two Kinds, i. Lycopfis Echij folio. That with a 
Vipers BuglofiCleafi 2 . Lycopfis Anglica, the Eng- 
lifh Wall Buglofs. The Stone Buglofs , is a fingular 
Plant of its Kind. 
IV. TheDefcription. The firft kind of Wall Bug- 
lofs has a Root which Is fomewhat woody, long, and 
not much thicker than a Linger, with fome Fibres 
thereat it is of a brownifh red on the out fide, but 
little or nothing colors the Fingers as the Anchufa’s 
do yet Diofcorides fays, -'it was called by fever al 
Anchufa, and Galen fays, that in his time it was 
accounted a kind thereof •, but it .is much like to 
Echium, and other forts of Wild Buglofs. From this 
Root arifes Leaves which fpread upon . ? Ground 
which are many, long, narrow, ro... rugged 
hairy, and of a dark green color, Jo,, cw.mt like to 
Echium, or fome other Wild Buglofs : Thefe Leaves 
abide in this manna , fame years, without fending 
forth of any Stalk, or Flowers at all ( which fome 
having taken notice of, thought that it never did bear 
Flower or Seed:) But truly though it bears no Stalk 
for Flowers on- Seed fome years, yet it has been found 
to bear them in fome others, for that divers Prints 
hereof have been found as well with Stalk and t low- 
fi , as Voidy “ok without : When it bears a Stalk , it 
rifes up abdut two Feet high, bearing fitch like 
Leaves as grow below, but fet one dijlant from ano- 
ther, without order , and f mailer up to the l op, 
where the Flowers ft and upon their fever a. Branches', 
which are fpread about , as alfo come forth m>'h the 
Leaves at the Joints, like unto the hollow r lowers 
°f Echium, or Wild Buglofs, with uneven and ga- 
ping dented brims or edges, of a pale Purple color, 
with a long Stile or Point el in the middle ■’ .tag 
out of the Flower above ’ nc • after 
which follows the Seed, much like to Buglofs deed, 
but not altogether fo great or black . 
V. The Englifh Wall Buglofs has a Root a little 
reddifh like the other, but giving as little color : 
but as to its Leaves, Stalks, and Flowers, it differs 
very little from the former : the only difference is, 
that the Flowers do all grow at the Tops of the 
Branches, and are of a deeper purple color, with di- 
vers threads fhooting out of them 
VI. Stone Buglofs A faid by Diofcorides to have 
a reddifh Root , but to be without either Stalk, Flow- 
er, or Seed, which thing he fays alfo of Lycopfis, 
and Cynogloffum, both which are known ( in divers 
of their Plants ) to have all the three, and there- 
fore it may be as probable in this. This Plant in 
its form has a great refemblance or likenefs to the 
former Lycopfis, as alfo to Anchufa or Alkanet but
