kinds of Pears, the Jharper end tending downward in- 
to the Ground , of which two are for the moft part 
large , one fmall ', out of which feveral fmall Fibres 
proceed. The Leaves of this are fomewhat more like 
unto thofe of a broad-leav'd Plantane, but yet fmaller 
and narrower , three or four at the bottom of the 
Stalk , which otherwife is bare , and has none upon it -,

Leaves than thofe of the Friezeland Orchis at Sefl.9. 
aforegoing, but the Stalks and Ffawers tire very like 
them, yellow of color , and ple'Tffytly fweet : the 
Figure of this Riant Lobel has given us from Corne- 
lius Gemma. 
XIV. The eighth, or Small creeping Orchis, has a 
Root very unlike all the reft, being long and full of 
Strings, growing thick together, and interlacing 
themfelves one among another -, yet have they at the 
upper part thereof, next under the Leaves, (as Ca- 
merarius fays ) fome fhew of fmall Bulbs fome times 
to be feen. From thefe Roots arife Leaves which are 
thick and fomewhat broad, like Plantane, of a dark 
green color : the Stalk is J lender , and fet full at the 
top with feveral white Vlowers, Jpcited with Blood- 
red Spots. Parkinfon will have this to come nearer 
to an Helleborine than an Orchis.
