IV. 1 he fecond ha* a Root thick and long , black- 
ifh on the out fide, but reddifh to i thin, having many 
fibres appertaining to it. From whence Spring forth 
Stalks with many Le crocs, a/fo Leaves growing f rom 
the Root. The Stalks are fmall, weak, and a little 
hoary, and the Leaves Springing from them are five- 
fold, or divided into five parts, a little dented and 
pointed at the ends, green on the upper fide, and a 
kind of hoary white underneath : between thefe 
Leaves grow weak Branches, leaning doivn to the 
ground near a foot long, with many fuch like Leaves 
on them, but lefjer than thofe below. The Flowers are 
about the large nefs of the former, but not full out fo 
large as the next following, of a white color, con fifing 
of five rounder pointed Leaves than the others are, 
having a nick in the middle, and feveral fmall yellow 
threads in the middle of the Flower, fet with a wool- 
ly Head , having many fmall Seeds fet together like 
unto a Crowfoot head of Seed. Of this kind there 
is another wbofe green Leaves are not dented about 
the edges, little differing in any thing elfe. 
V. The third has a Root fomewhat thick and long, 
of a blackifh brown color without, and reddifh wit h- 
in : From this Root Jpring forth many Leaves, alfo 
Stalks or Branches , the Leaves fund upon their 
own Stalks, and are divided into five parts , as ij 
they were five feveral Leaves, dented about the 
edges, and almofl fiharp pointed, very like to the fir 11 
or Common Cinkfoil, but that thefe are every ways 
larger, and a little hairy •, from which rife up frail 
or upright Stalks for a while , till they are grown 
up to a confiderable length , then they incline, or 
lean fomewhat down towards the ground, as both the 
former do. Thefe Stalks are a little hairy alfo, and 
divided near their tops into two or three Branches, 
and they again into others fmaller ■, upon the tops oj 
every one of which grows one Flower, of a white co- 
lor, and larger than in either of the former, confifl- 
ing of five Leaves, as all the other forts do -, in the 
middle of which fands a fmall downy head, encom- 
pajfed with many reddifh yellow threads. This kind. 
Jays Gerard, is J'o common, and fo univer filly known, 
that he thought it needlefs to give any Defcription 
thereof. Johnfon upon Gerard fays, it has many 
long fender Stalks lying Spread upon the ground, out 
of which grow Leaves, made of five longifh fnipt 
Leaves, fafned to one long Foot folk ■, the Flowers 
a IJ'o grow upon the like Footfalks, and are compofed 
of five yellow Leaves. The Root is pretty large, oj 
a reddifh color, and round, but dryed, it becomes 
Square. 
VI. The fourth, or Marfh kind , has a Root of a 
Woody fub fiance, with feme fibres, or thready f rings 
adjoining thereto : From which Root rife up Leaves 
almofi like to the former, confifiing of five parts, 
notcht about the edges, and funding clofe together 
at their lower ends, upon one long Footfalk : the 
Stalks are about a foot and half high, and. of a red- 
difh color •, The Flowers grow at the tops of the 
Stalks, like unto the other Cinkfoils, five that they 
are of a dark red color ■, in a word the whole Riant 
is very like to the other kinds, efpecially the great 
Kind lafi before this deferibed. 
VII. The fifth or Silver-weed Cinkfoil, /; as a Root 
fmall, long, and blackifh, like the firft Common 
Cinkfoil : from which Springs forth long Stalks oj 
Leaves, divided into many parts next the ground, fet 
on each fide thereof, two at a fpace, one again ft ano- 
ther, and an odd one at the end, all of them dented 
about the edges, very like unto Wild Tanfey Leaves, 
but not hoary, or fiver like, as they are, but only 
green. The Flowers come forth at the Joints with 
the Leaves, towards the tops of the Stalks, which 
Stalks creep not , nor fland upright, but being weak 
lean down towards the ground, having very long 
Stalks of Leaves on them. The Flowers which grow 
on the tops of the Stalks, arc lejfer, and lefs divi- 
ded than thofe which grow below : they arc Jingle, 
every one by its f elf, fmall, of a pale yellow color, and 
witn a head in the middle, which after it is ripe, is 
like unto the other Cinkfoil heads of Seed, viz. like 
to a fmall, hard, dry Strawberry.

VIII. The fixth, or Hoary Kind, is all over hoary, 
whence it took the name of Incanum : It has a long 
flender Root , and Woody, from whence rife up fe-
