IV. The Defcriptions. The jirft of the Single 
Wild Campions has a Root white and long,fpread- 
ing forth divers Branches in the ground, and peril- 
ing after Seed tune : from whence come forth ?nany 
long and fomewhat broad, dark, green Leaves, lying 
upon the ground, with fever al Ribs therein, not much 
unlike to Rib-wort Riant anc, but fomewhat hairy, 
broader, but not Jo long. The Stalks are hairy, and 
rife up in the midji oj them, three or four feet high , 
and fome times more, with fever al large white Joints 
at feveral places thereon, and two fuch like Leaves 
thereat up to the Top. from thefc hairy Stalks come 
forth divers Branches alfo at their various Joints, 
all which bear on various Footfalks white Flowers at 
their feveral Tops, confifling of five broad pointed 
Leaves, every one cut in on the end unto the mid- 
dle, making them to look like two apiece : they fnell 
fomething fweet, and each of them ft and in a large, 
green, Jtriped, hairy Husk or Cafe , large and round 
below next to the tootfialk. The Seed is [mail and 
grfy 'ifh in the hard heads, which come up afterwards. 
V. The fecond Single Wild Campion, has a Root 
like the former , which perifhes alfo after Seed-time. 
This Red Campion grows after the fame manner m 
the former -, but its Leaves are not fo perfectly rib- 
bed, are fomething Jhorter, rounder, and more f oft 
or voooly in handling. The Flowers are of the fame 
form and bignefs , in fome of a pale, in others of a 
bright reddifh color, cut in at the ends more finely, 
which makes the cut or jagged Leaves fcem to be 
more in number than the other. The Seed is like 
the former, f mall and grey ijh. 
VI. The third Single Red Wild Campion, which 
is the leffer, has a Root like the former, which pe- 
rijhes after Seed-time, at they do : This whole Riant 
is very like the foregoing *, but fmaller and lower ; 
yet very much branched, and replenifhed with dark- 
er green Leaves. The Flowers are reddifh: but 
fmaller, and not fo much cut or dented in at the 
ends. The Husks and Seeds are alfo like the former, 
but every ways leffer.

VII. The fourth, or Corn Campion of the daf* 
dens, has a Root, long, white, and woody, with feve- 
ral Branches f fringing from it, ( and is but an An* 
mtal Riant ) from which rifes up for the moji part 
but one round Stalk, fpr ending it fe/f out every way 
into feveral Branches , having two long Leaves Jet 
oppofite at the Joints ^ being broad at the bottom, and 
encompajfing the Stalk and Branches, not much un- 
like to Through-wax, ending in a fnall point, of a 
pale green color. At the Tops of the feveral Branch- 
es, p and divers Flowers, confif ing of four Leaves a
