leav’d Dogs-Hones, has a Root which is compofed of 
two round while Bulbs , /<?/ together , //fo /fo /wo 
Stones Dog, with long Fibres at the Heads of 
them , one fo me what higher fometimes than another 
dW always one of them , which is the higher , is firm, 
full and hard , /fo o/for A/tf/fc, wrinkled and foft , 
which wajieth away to nothing , leaving the firm Root, 
vob'tcb fo abides all the Winter, and in the Spring a- 
nother is engendred, and encreafes from the fide oj 
the old one, and then that begins to grow lank, whiljl 
the other new one encreafes . This Root fends forth 
five or fix broad Leaves near the Ground ^ from a- 
mong which riles up around green Stalk, half a yard 
high, bare or without Leaves, or but one or two 
fmaller Handing below, at the top of which Hands 
a fpiked Head of purplifh Flowers, let thick and 
clofe together, made like unto open Hoods, from 
the middle whereof hangs down a final! Body, as it 
were, of a Dog, or other fiich Creature, being of 
a pale purple color it fell, fpotted with deeper pur- 
ple Spots, and Lines ; alter which come lomewhar 
long and round fmall Husks, containing therein ra- 
ther fmall Dull than Seed, it is fo fmall. 
V. The fecond , or Greater broad-leav’d purple 
Dogs-Hones, has a Root like the former but this 
fort has Leaves fomething narrower than the other : 
the Stalk is nearly of the fame height, and the fpi- 
ked Head of Flowers is neither fo long nor fo thick ^ 
and the Flowers are of a whirifh purple color, mark- 
ed with fome purple Spots and Lines more inward, 
formed like open Hoods, and finall Bodies hanging 
forth, like the former j the Seed being alio like the 
fame.

what narrower than in the laji •, and the Stalk alfo

or fix Leaves, clafping or embracing the fame round 
about : and the firfl Leaves rifing up, are likewife 
fmooth, long, broad Leaves, but lefler and narrow- 
er than thofe of the firfl kind. The fpiky Head of 
Flowers is fhort, thick, bulhy, compaft of many 
fmall whitifh purple-colored Flowers, and fpotted 
on the infide with many fmall purple Spots , and 
little Lines or Streaks. The fmall Flowers are like 
an open Hood or Helmet, having hanging out of e- 
very one, as it were, the Body of a little Man,

Thighs Hradling abroad, after the fame manner al-

hanging out of Saturn’s Mouth.

foot and half or more high ^ at the top of which 
does grow a Tuft or Ear of Violet-colored Flowers, 
mixt with a dark purple, but in the Hollownefs 
thereof whitifh, not of the fame Form or Shape 
which the others are of, but lefler, and as it were 
refembling fomething the Flowers of Larks-Spur. 
IX. The fixth, or Greater Soldiers Dogs-Hones,

Heads of which Bulbs many Fibres or Threads fpring 
forth. This Root fends forth feveral large Leaves

to enclofe it. The Stalk is fmooth, green, and a- 
bout half a yard high. The fpiked Head of Flow- 
ers Hands fomewhat loofe, the Flowers being a lit- 
tle feparated one from another : each Flower is alfo 
like unto a Man, whofe Body has its Arms and 
Legs cut off, and a Hood fet thereon ^ or a Leg-lels 
Soldier with his Helmet on , the Hood or Helmet 
being white , and the Body fpotted with purple 
Spots.

gether like the laji, but that they are all oj them eve-
