Of D A I S I E Field. 
I rjs yy E -Name!. It is called in Latin, Beilis a- 
L ere ft is , Herb a margarita *, and by fome, Con- 
Johd.i 'minor : and in Englijb , Daifte, and held 
1 ll The Kinds. There are two principal kinds 
thereof, which are very common, viz. 1. Beilis 
minor Sylvefiris. , The lefler Wild Daiue. 2. Beilis 
water vel media Sylvejirts , The greater or middle 
Wild or Field Daiiie. 
HI. The Defcriptions. The firfi, or Small com- 
mon Angle Field Daifie, has a Root which is /null, 
white and fibrous ; from the Head of which fpr mgs 
forth many thick and fomewhat long green Leaves , 
lying upon the Ground , fmall at the bottom , but 
broad , and almoji round towards the point or end, 
and a little dented about the edges, from among t his 
heap or tuft of Leaves rife up many very J lender , 
weak and naked Stalks , or rather loot-Jialks , of three, 
four or five , or more inches high, bearing every one 
of them a fmall green Head, from whence rife many 
fmall white Leaves , encompajjing a yellow Thrum , 
which is in the middle. Sometimes the green Leaves 
will be found much larger in one place than in ano- 
ther ; and the flower likewife will w fome be red- 
dijh at the ends , and fometimes under flamed and. 
yet not with fancying all this difference , they are but 
one kind or fort , and not divers , as fome main- 
tain. 
IV. The fecond , or Greater or middle Field Dai- 
fie, tho' it is another Species , yet it agrees with the 
former in mofl refpefls , faving that its main Root is 
thicker and longer , with many fmall white Fibres 
proceeding therefrom : the Leaves are larger and 
dented in almoji in like manner on the edges : the 
Stalks are thicker , but round and fomewhat higher j 
and the Flowers, like the other, white, and fometimes 
on the tips of their Leaves with a blufh of red, but 
they are larger every way : the Thrum in the middle 
is alfo bigger, but of the fame yellow color with the 
before deferibed. 
V. The Places. They grow wild almoft every 
where, in moft Meadows and Pafture-Grounds of 
this Kingdom. 
VI. The Times. They flower in moft of the 
Summer Months, viz. in April, May, June and 
July. 
VII. The Qualities, Specification, Preparations 
and Virtues, are the fame with Garden Dafies, on- 
ly they are with this Advantage, that the Field Dai- 
jie is more effectual for all the Purpofes defigned :
