Lib. I. 
Common Garden Grefs, but yet more finely cut or 
divided, and Jharp in Tafie , like CrelTes. 1 be i low- 
ers tire many, and of a pale wbitijb yellow color, 
(landing in long Spikes at the tops -, which being 
pafiVd away, firnall, Jhort Pouches appear, divided 
into two parts, which Jhind not upright , but hang 
downwards, in which is contained firnall reddijh Seed, 
like unto Creis Seed. 
Stone Crefs. 
V. The third, or Rock Crefs, has a J mall and 
thready perifhing Root , from whence rife up fever al 
Leaves upon long Foot-Jlalks, which Leaves are jag- 
ged and cut about the edges, much like to Oak Leaves , 
or rather the Leaves oj Shepherds-purfe : from a- 
midfi thefe Leaves rife up fever al Stalks, with firnall' 
jagged Leaves growing thereon , one only at a place, 
tv i thou t any Foot -folk, and not being above one, two 
or three in number, to the top of each Stalk: on which 
tops f piked Heads of F lowers very thick fiet, which 
are firnall, and of a white color, like thofie of the 
Garden Crefs. The Seed is contained in firnall 
Pouches or- Seed-Vefels , which are flat , like to 
Thlapfi, or Treacle-Multard. 
VI. The Places. TJse firfil grows Wild in the 
Fields, by High- ways, and Hedge-fides, and among 
Rubbilh,’ and in many other places. The fiecond 
grows plentifully in many places, Wild in the Fields 
which have been formerly Manured, and afterwards 
lye as Fallow or Wafte : I found a great quantity of 
it in Capt. Abbot's Plantation up JVando River, not 
above four or five Miles from Charles Town in Caro- 
lina. In grows alfo very plentifully in the King- 
dom of Valent ia in Spain , ( from whence it was 
brought to us in England ) for which Reafon it is 
called alfo Nafilurtium Sylvefire Valentianum. The 
third has been found growing in Shropshire, in the 
Fields about Birch, in the Parilh of Elefmere, and 
in the Grounds formerly belonging to one Richard 
Herbert, and that in great plenty : alfo on the far 
ther fide of Black-heath, by the Highway fide, lead- 
ing from Greenwich to Lufianj. 
VII. The Times. Thefe flower later than fome 
of the former Crefles, viz. in June and July, and 
the Seed ripens not long after. 
VIII. The Qualities, Specification, Preparations 
and Virtues , are the lame with Garden Crefifes in 
Chap. 163. aforegoing, and to them you are re- 
ferred. 
CHAP. CLXVIII. 
Of CRESS Sciatica. 
I- ‘ I v U E Names. It is called in Greek , ’Usd: r 
J- A^eemxi) : in Arabick, Seitaragi , and 
Hat fab: in Latin, Iberis five Cardamantica, ( quod 
Cardamo, id efil Nafiurtio fimilis efi : ) and in Eng- 
lifh. Sciatica Crefs. 
II. The Kinds. It is twofold, viz. \. Iberis na- 
Jlurtii fioliis, Lepidium Campejlre Anguilarte, Iberis 
fiecunda Tabernmontani, Iberis Cardamantica Gerar- 
di, Iberis Nafiiurtii folio Baubini , Sciatica Creis. 
2. Iberis Latiore folio Baubini, Iberis Lugdunenfis 
Dodoncei , Lacuna, Gefineri in hortis, Ef Cfalpini, 
who alfo fays it is Lepidium forte Columella, Lepi- 
dium hortenfe Anguilara, Iberis Cardamantica Lo- 
belii, Lepidium Iberias Pauli JEgineta, Sciatica 
Crefs with broader Leaves. 
III. The Delcriptions. The firfil has a Root which 
is long , white and woody, from which rifes up a round 
Stalk about two feet high , which fipreads it fie If into 
divers Branches, whofe lower Leaves are fiomewhat 
larger than the upper , yet all of them cut or torn on 
the edges, fiomewhat like unto Garden Crefles, but 
fimaller : the Flowers are firnall and white, growing 
at the tops of the Branches , which being pafs’d away. 
Husks grow forth, like to thofie of Crefles, with fimal- 
ler brownifh Seed therein than in the other, which 
is very Jharp and biting in Tafie , more than thofie of 
Crefles are. 
IV. The fiecond, or Sciatica Creis with broader 
Leaves, has a Root like the fiormer, and Jharp in 
Tafie as it •, from which fpring up Leaves fiomewhat 
long and broad, not rent or torn at all, but whole, 
only a little dented about the edges towards the ends, 
very like to thdfie of the Thlafpi Creticum. From 
among thefe Leaves rifes up a Stalk pretty thick and 
firong, much about the height of the other, which 
fuddenly fpreads it felfi out into fever al Branches , 
on whims grow Leaves , which are leffer , fhorter and 
narrower.
