Salmon ’ s ‘HeriaL Lib, L 
round , white Strings , from whence proceed long and 
narrow Leaves , fomewhat like tint o Grafs, or rather 
like to the Leaves of Jingle Gillifiowers or Pinks, 
being /mail and fharp-pointed , d little hollow, and oj 
a whitifh green color, tram among thefe Leaves 
Jpring up Jeveral flender Stalks , bearing at the tops 
each one fmall yellow b lower, which is double, as 
con ft (ling oj two rows of Leaves, with fome Thieads 
in the middle. There is alfo a fingle fort of this 
Species, the flower being fmall, and conflfting oj 
jive yellow Leaves, with yellow 7 breads in the mid- 
dle, like to other Crowfeet. _ 
X. The f event h, or Broad-lea v’d Candy Crowfoot, 
has a Root fomewhat like thofc of the Afian Crowfoot, 
or compofcd of a number of tough Roots, like thofe oj 
the yellow Alphodil : it has the great eft and broadejl 
Leaves of all the forts of Crowfeet, being almoft 
round, and without any great Divifions, dented a lit- 
tle about the edges here and there, as large or larger 
fome times than the Palm of ones Hand -, of a light 
green color, yet fome of the Leaves are here and 
there deeply divided. Among thefe Leaves rifes up 
a Stalk, not very high when it does firft flower ■, but 
afterwards as the blowers do open themf elves, it 
grows to be about a foot and half high, having fome 
Leaves on it deeply cut in and divided. The Stalk 
isa/fo thick, round and ft iff, andfhoots it felf forth 
into two or three Branches, at the Jetting on of which 
grow longifh Leaves, a little dented about their ends. 
Thefe Branches bear many fair yellow flowers, con- 
flfting of Jive round-pointed Leaves apiece, ftanding 
each a little di fiance from other, fo that the green 
points of the 'Cups Jhew themfelves between them, 
and having yellow Threads in the middle, but become 
fomewhat whitifh when the flower has flood blown a 
little time. 
XI. The eighth , or White Candy Crowfoot, has 
a Root confiding of many fmall Grains or Kernels, 
of a dark or dusky greyifh color, fet together , and 
its Leaves are veiy like to the Leaves of the Red 
Afian Crowfoot, being fomewhat broad and indented 
about the edges, fome of the Leaves being cut in or 
gajht, making thereby as it were three Divifions , of 
a pale green color, with many white Spots in them. 
The Stalk rifes up a foot high, with fome Leaves on 
it, which are more divided than the lower , and di- 
vided at the top into two , and fometimes into three 
Branches, each of them bearing a fair Snow-white 
flower, fomething large , included at firft in a brown- 
ifh Husk or Cup of Leaves, which afterwards (land 
under the flowers, conflfting of Jive white , large, 
round-pointed Leaves, having in their middle many 
blackijh purple Thrumbs, encompajfing a fmall, long, 
green Head, compofcd oj many Scales, or chaflie whi- 
tifh Husks when they are ripe. They yield Seed, 
but it is unprofitable , ds yielding no new Plants. 
Some of this kind have their flowers purple-edged : 
fome again have their flowers with Veins of the fame 
purple -, and fome of them are edged with a bright 
red color, not differing in any other particular. 
XII. The ninth, or Single red Afian Crowfoot, 
has a Root made of many Grains or fmall Kernels fet 
together , and clofing at the Head , but fpreading it 
felf, if it likes the Ground, under the upper Cruft 
oj the Earth into many Roots, encreafing from long 
Strings which run from the middle of the Jmall Head 
of Grains, as well as from the Head it felf. The 
lower Leaves are always whole, without Divifions, 
being only fomewhat deeply indented about the edges : 
but the others which rife after them, are more cut in, 
fometimes into three, and fometimes into jive Diviji- 
and notched alfo about the edges. The Stalk 
large flower, conflfting oj five Leaves, every one of 
them being narrower at the bottom than at the top, 
and not ftanding round and clofe one to another, but 
with a certain di fiance between, of a dusky yeUowifh 
red color on the out fide, and of a deep red on the in- 
fide, the middle being fet with many Thrumbs of a 
dark purple color. The Head for Seed is long, and 
fcaly or chaffy, and not profitable for j owing , as not 
fpringing again. 
XIII. The tenth , or Large fingle red Afian Crow- 
foot, has a Root much like the f ormer, its Leaves 
are broader and greater. The Stalk is much of the 
fame height as the other , and branched out, with 
like Leaves thereupon : the flower is alfo larger, 
and the Leaves thereof broader, being fometimes eight 
in a flower, ftanding round and clofe one to another, 
oj a deep red color, which makes it look the fairer , 
and have the more excellent Jhew : in all other re- 
fpeJls, it is like the laft. 
XIV. The eleventh, or Single red ftript Afian 
Crowfoot, has a Root, Stalk and Leaf very like to 
the two lafi aforegoing, and in the manner oj growing, 
differing chiefly in the blower, which being red, like 
the two bejoregoing , has yet fome yellow Stripes or 
Veins thro ’ every Leaf ; thefe Stripes are fometimes 
but few and little, and fometimes fo much that it 
feems to be party colored red and yellow. It is a ve- 
ry tender Plant , and apt to penfh, unlefs carefully 
lookt after. 
XV. The twelfth, or Single yellow ftript Afian 
Crowfoot, has a Root not much unlike to any of the 
three laft defer ibed, but the Leaves are very diffe- 
rent, being very much divided. The flower is large, 
of a fine palijh green yellow color, conflft ing of fix 
and feven, and fometimes of eight or nine round 
Leaves -, the tops of which have reddifh Spots upon 
them, and the edges alfo fometimes, with like pur- 
plifh Thrums in the middle as the other have. It 
has been obferved, that none of the kinds of Crow- 
feet with thefe kernelly Roots , ever bear fo good 
Seed, which being form, will fpring up and grow in 
England fo that with us they can only be propagated 
from their Roots , by a careful and skilful looking 
after. 
XVI. The thirteenth , or Double red Afian Crow- 
foot, has a Root fo like to the Single red kind, at 
fe£L 1 2. above, that none can perceive any difference 
between them, fo alfo it is the fame in its Stalk and 
Leaves , that the difference or kinds are not to be 
known till the Buds of the blowers do appear, which 
after it is any thing forward, may be perceived to be 
greater and fuller than the Buds of the fingle kind. 
'This double fort bears rnoft commonly but one fair 
large double blower on the topis of the Stalks, compo- 
fcd of many Leaves fet clofe together in three or four 
rows , of an admirable Crimfon color, declining to 
Scarlet, the outer Leaves being larger than the in- 
and inftcad of Thrums, it has many fmall 
Leaves fet together. It has alfo fix fmall, narrow, 
green Leaves on the back-Jide of the blower, where 
the boot-folk is joined to it. 
XVII. The fourteenth, or Double buttoned red 
Afian Crowfoot, has Roots, Stalks, Leaves and 
blowers fo like the former, that before the time of 
flowering they are not to be diftinguifhed one from 
another. The blower is of the fame Color and Du- 
plicity, but herein they differ, that this has another 
double blower growing upon a Foct-ftalk fining out of 
the middle of the firjl blower, of the fame color, but 
much fma/ler, which Gerald thinks does happen by 
reafon of the Strength of the Root, and Good-nefs of 
the Soil where it is planted. It is a noble blower , 
and of great Excellency. 
XVIII. The jijteenih, or Greater Columbine-leav’d 
Crowfoot, has a Root made of a tufft of white Fibres
