of them Jet with fmall,fmooth, [harp Prices or Uairs t 
not much unlike to the Prickly Sowthiftle. The 
Stalks are about two or three inches high, and bear 
each of them a large, pale, yellow I lower, like to the 
other Dandelions ^ which being once pajs'd away, do 
prejently after turn into Down, with Seed like unto 
the former. 
VI. The fourth, or Bulbed Dandelion, has a Root 
branched or fprcad out into feveral long tuberous 
Clogs , which fome call long Bulbs, much like to thoj'e 
of the Afphodil, but J. mailer , fhorter and more point- 
ed at the ends. Prom the Head of thefiff Roots Jpring 
forth many large and blewifh green hairy Leaves , 
lying upon the Ground, unevenly waved or cut in on 
the edges, but not deeply gafht, like the Common 
Dandelion, but which are of a fharp and bitter Tajle 
like it : from among which rife up feveral bare or 
naked Stalks, with blowers at their tops, larger and 
more double than thofe of the Common kind, but of 
a paler yellow color, which pafs into Down , like the 
other kinds, having alfo like jafhioned Seed. 
VII. The fifth, or Spanifh kind, has a Root of a 
moderate Largenefs, long, white, tender and fibrous, 
which lives with us all the Winter, if it is mild, 0- 
therwife, if we have hard brofts, it perifhes : from 
this Root Jpring up feveral long Leaves, a /pan or 
more in length -, the middle Leaf of the Root is bare 
from the Root to the half length oj the Leaf, and then 
it has many Rents or Cuts on each fide, very much 
refiembling the Leaf of the Common Dandelion, but 
fimaller and narrower : from among thej'e Leaves rife 
up likewifie long boot-fialks, as in the Dandelion, 
upon whofe tops grow fimall and yellow blowers, which 
turn into Down, that is carried away with the Wind 
with the Seed alfo, which is fimall, long and reddifh, 
like unto fome oj the Hawkweeds. 
Ill The Defcriptions. The firft, or Fine jagged 
Dandelion, has a thick rediifh Root full of tibres , 
fending forth many very green and finely cut Leaves , 
each of them about a Hand breadth long, and two 
inches broad , being deeply jagged or divided again 
into 1 wo or three other Jmall Rents or Diviflons , and 
ending in a Jmall point. The flowers which ftand 
at tops of the Stalks (which are naked ) are yellow, 
and much Jmaller than thofe in the former Chapter , 
which being pafs’d away, the downey Heads and Seed 
proceed, as in the former. 
IV. T he Second, on Sweet Dandelion, has a Jmall 
and blackifh Root , which is white within, and very 
Jwect in Tafte, (as are the Leaves alfo) which is Jo 
very tender, that it perifhes with the firft Cold it 
feels •, and therefore with us is always to be houfed 
in Winter and cold Weather, by which means it will 
endure many Tears, and yield its Seed in the due 
Seafon. from this Root Jpring up many Leaves , 
which fpread themfelves on the Ground, about three 
inches long and half an inch broad, cut in on the fides 
with very deep Gajhes , whofe ends have each of them 
three very deep Dents, each of them having divers 
Points finding like a Star or Spur, the Foot-Jia/ks 
whereof are a little hairy : from among thefe rife up 
many [month , /lender, naked Stalks, one of which 
funds upright, not above a Hand breadth high ; the 
reft are lower, and bend downwards, each of them 
bearing a Jmall yellow Flower, like unto other Dan- 
delions, which being paft, turns into Down, and flies 
away with theU hid, carrying the Seed with it, which 
is Jomething long and broad, with hard Hairs, like a 
Beard, at the top of each Seed. 
V. The third, or Small rough Dandelion, has a 
Root J. ’mail and whitilh , which fends forth feveral 
Jmall Leaves, lying round about the Root upon the 
Ground, about two or three inches long undone inch 
broad, cut, divided or torn in on the fldcs, and each 
VIII. The Places. The firft is found in Meadow 
and PaJIure Grounds. The fecond is an Original of 
Italy, and from thence it came to us. The third 
grows about Florence, and other parts of Italy, as 
alfo about Montpelier in France. The fourth is alfo 
of Italian Origination. The fifth came from Spain, 
and grows in the Ifland of Gadcs or Cadiz, as Boel 
faith, who called it Cichorium Gadenje ; but Clu Jins 
Curce pofleriores calls it, Cichorium fylvtjlre pumi- 
lum , Jive Hedypnots. 
IX. The Times. They all flower thro’ all the 
Summer Months : but the fifth or Spanijh kind 
flowers in July , Augufi and September ; and the 
Seed is foon ripe after the Flower is paft.

Virtues, are the fame with the Common Dandelion in
