CHAP. CXVI. 
Of CARROTS of Candy. 
1. /- p v H E Karnes. It is called in Greek , *©- : 
jL In Arabic k, Dauco , and Giezar : In Latin 
alfo Dane us , Daucum , and Daucium , and Dane us 
Creticus : In Englijk , Daucus, and Dauke , and Candy 
Carrots. 
II. The Kinds. Farktnfon makes fixteen kinds of 
Daucus's. , many of which are nothing to our pur- 
pofe : Thofe which we are chiefly to treat of in 
this Chapter, are the Candy or Cretick Kinds , which 
Dinf corides makes to be three, viz. i . DaucUs Cre- 
ticus vents Diofcoridis , The true Daucus of Candy. 
2. Daucus Sclinoides , The Parfley Leav’d Daucus. 
3. Daucus Coriandri foliis , Daucus tertius Diofcori- 
dis Bello , Coriander Leav'd Daucus, or Bcllus his 
third Daucus of Dio/, cor ides. 4. To thefe we think 
good to add a fecond kind of the Daucus Sclinoides. 
which is Daucus Sclinoides maxima , The greatefi 
Parfley Leav'd Daucus.

III. The Defcriptions. The True Daucus hat a 
Root J mall , long , and white ( leffer fays Gerard, than 
the Root of a Far/ nip, -which is of a fragrant fuel l, 
and almofl as quick and fharp in Tafie as the Seed , 
but icill not abide our Winters here in England, with 
all the skill we can ufe , fo that we are forc'd tofow ■ 
it anew every Lear. From this Root rife up feveral 
Stalks of Winged Leaves , as finely cut as Fennel , 
but fhorter , fet at di fauces one again/} another , of 
a zohitifh or hoary color , fmelling a little fweet. From 
among which rife up divers J lender Branches or 
Stalks a Foot high , bearing at their Tops J mall V ru- 
bles of white Flowers , and after them J mall hoary 
grayifh Seed , fomewhat long and round , and of a 
fharp or quick Smell and Tafie. 
IV. The fecond Daucus has a Root fomewhat great, 
thick , long and white , with a buff) of hairs at the 
Head , as many other Umbeliferous Flants have , and 
of a hot and fharp tafie , as the Seed a/fo is -, from 
whence rife up large Stalks of fomewhat broad pale 
green Leaves , bigger than Farfiey , and with divi- 
sions of the fame fafhion and manner , next the 
ground : And alfo large Stalks almofl two feet high , 
with the like Leaves at the Joints , but fhorter -, and 
at the tops fpokie r undies of white Flowers , which 
turn into long crefted Seed , bigger than ordinary 
Fennel Seed , and of a yellow brown color. 
V. The third Daucus o/ Diofcorides, according to 
Honor ius Bellus his account , has a Root great , thick 
and fhort , perifhing yearly. The whole Plant is 
Aromatic al, and both Root and Leaf are eaten by the 
Cretians as a common Sal let Herb. From this Root 
fpring feveral Stalks of fine cut Leaves , not much 
unlike to the Leaves of Coriander, but leffer and thick- 
er. The Stalks are near two Feet high , with great 
and fwollen Joints , ( and therefore called by fome 
Sefeli nodofom, knotted Hart wort, but by Bauhinus, 
Daucus Criticus nodofus Umbella lutea) and f mai- 
ler Leaves at them , at the tops whereof grow yel- 
low Umbles of Flowers ( but white with us in Eng- 
land ) which being pafi away, there comes much Seed, 
larger than that of Fennel. 
VI. The fourth Daucus, which is the large or 
large fi kind of the Farfiey Leav'd , has a Root fome- 
times as large as ones Arm , or being young , of the 
bignefs of ones Thumb, parted into f everal Branches 
at the bottom, and covered with a rugged black Bark, 
of a Vifcous tafie at the firfi, but fharp afterwards , 
fo as to caufe fpitting , having at the top many hairy 
Heads, from whence come feveral very large, and . 
great Winged Leaves, much divided and dented 
about the edges, muchwhat like the lafi, but bigger , 
and of a pale or faint green color, a little finning on 
the upper fide, and of a greyifh afh-color underneath. 
Among thefe Leaves rifes up, a large , great, crefied 
Stalk, of a Fingers thicknefs, with fome Joints, and 
Leaves at the Joints, and with Branches alfo be- 
tween them : at the tops whereof fiand fmall Umbles 
of whitifh Flowers, and fomewhat like Seed to the fe- 
cond kind, but larger. 
VII. The Places. Candia is the Natural place of 
their Growth, but with us in England they are only 
nourished up in Gardens. The firft has been found 
upon feveral Mountains of Germany •, and upon 
the Hills and Rocks of Jura near Geneva, from, 
whence it has been tranfported into feveral of our 
more Northern Regions. 
VIII. The Times. They flower in June and July, 
fome earlier, fome later ; and their Seed is ripe 111 
Augufi j fome of it ripening in the time of flower- 
ing. 
IX. The Qualities. The Seed and Roots are hot 
and dry in the third Degree ^ the Herb Larcely ex- 
ceeds the fecond Degree of hear, and therefore is 
lefs powerful. They are Aperitive, Attra&ive, D.- 
geftive, Carminative, Diuietick, Cephalick, Stoma-- 
tick, Nephritick, Hyfterick, Lithontripuick, Altera- 
tive, Alexipharmick and Spermatogenetick. 
X. The Specification. It is chiefly dedicated to 
the Strangury, Stone, and ftoppage of Urine.
