Chap. 1 58. ‘Englijh Herbs. 
2. Pulmonaria maculofa altera, ( Parkinfon fays, 
non maculoja ) Pulmonaria Echij foliis , Buglofs 
Leav’d Jerufalem Cowflip. 3. Pulmonaria angufti- 
folia ( jffcunda Clufij ) Narrow Leav’d Jerufalem 
Cowflip. All which Plants, Gerard fays, are the 
True Lungworts. 
III. The Defcriptions. The firft of thefe has a 
Root compofed of many long and thick black firings-, 
from whence arife many rough , Large , and round 
Leaves , but pointed at the ends , fianding upon long 
Loot jlalks , J potted with many round white foots on 
the upper Jutes of the Leaves , which are of a fad 
green or brown color on the tops , but of a grayer 
green underneath, from among thefe Leaves fpring 
up fever al brown Stalks , a foot , more or left , high 
bearing many Flowers at the tops , very much refem- 
bling thofe of Cowflips, being of a purple or rediifh 
color , while they are Buds , and of a dark blewijh 
color when they are blown , fianding in brownijh 
green Husks (J'ometimes this Plant has been found 
with white Flowers : ) The Flowers being pali, J. mall 
round Heads, like Buttons, come up, in which is con- 
tained fmall black Seed. 
IV. The fecond. or Buglofs Jerufalem Cowflip, 
is like unto the former , but greater in each ref pelt : 
the Roots black like unto the firfi ; the Leaves, fays 
Gerard, are bigger than the former, ( but Parkinfon 
Jins fma/ler) being rough like the former, refembling 
Wild Buglofs Leaves, of a fairer color above, and 
of a whiter -underneath, Spotted with white fpots like 
the firfi, fays Gerard ( but without any fpots at all, 
fays Parkinfon -• ) The Stalks are a little more 
branched than the other : at the tops of which come 
forth Flowers like to the firfi inform, and of an ex- 
ceeding red Jhining color. 
V. The third, or Narrow Leav’d Jerufalem Cow- 
flip, or Lungwort, which is the fecond of Clufius, 
has a Root which is black , and ftringy, in which lajl 
refpeH it is like unto Cowflips, as are both the 
ether. From this Root fpring forth Leaves fome- 
what longer than the lift defcrtbcd, and not fo broad, 
which are rough and hairy like unto the Leaves of 
Echium or Wild Buglofs, but narrower, and Spotted 
with whitijh fpots alfo like the former. The Stalk 
is about afoot high, or better, fet with the like long 
hairy Leaves, but f mailer, bearing at the top a bun- 
dle of many Flowers, fianding in Husks like the firfi 
( in fajhion , fays Gerard, like thofe of Buglofs, or 
thofe laft defer ibed -, ) being fomewhat reddijh in the 
Bud, and of a dark purplijh blew color, when they 
are fully blown, and having Seed alfo like the others. 
All thefe Plants do well refemble Buglofs or Com- 
frey in moft parts, excepting in their Roots : And 
thefe are they which, Gerard fays, are the true Lung- 
wort ; ( but Cowflip is indeed the more ufual 
name. ) ' 
VI. The Places. All thefe grow naturally in the 
Woods of Germany in divers places : Parkinfon 
fays, that the firft Kind is found in England. John- 
fon upon Gerard fays, that the fecond Pulmonaria 
folij Echij was found by Mr. John Goodyer flower- 
ing in a Wood by Holbury Houfe in the New For eft 
in Hampjhire. Their natural place is in moift and 
fhadowy Woods, but with us they are for the moft 
part Nurs’d up in Gardens. 
VII. The Times. They flower generally very ear- 
ly in the Year, for the moft part in March, and in 
the beginning of April. 
VIII. The §>jtdlities,Specijicatwn,Virtues and Ufes, 
are much like thofe of Comfrey, in Chap. 149. afore- 
going, to which you are referred ; but doubtlefs 
as thefe have not luch a Vifcofity, as our common 
Comfrey has, fo in many cafes they may not be all 
out fo powerful : but as thefe are more drying and 
binding than Comfrey, fo alfo in lome other cafes, 
227 
they may exceed Caw/z-iy. And whereas in Com f rev 
the Root is chiefly uled ; in thefe Plants, the Leaves 
are the moft confiderable. 
IX. An Obfervation. The liquid Juice or E fence 
of the Leaves, or whole Plant, have been found by 
large Experience to be Angularly good for the Cure 
of Ulcerated Lungs, which are full of corrupted 
and rotten Matter : and it has been found to be a 
Cure for thole who Ipit Blood. Dofe two, three 
or four ounces in a Glafs of pure Red Port Wine’ 
But the greateft ufe which our Countrey People 
make of it, is for a Pot Herb.
