lei’s bv degrees each way, fpotced and flriped all o- 
ver the Leaves with white Lines and Spots. _ The 
Stalk' riles up feven or eight inches high, bearing at 
its top one Fiowef, and no mote. This Flower 
hangs down its Head, and is larger than any of the 
following kinds, ; nd confifts of fix white, _ long and 
narrow Leaves, turning thcmfelves up again after it 
has felt the Warmth of the Sun, that they do ai- 
med: touch the Stalk again, very like to the Flow- 
ers of Cyclamen or Sowbread : it has in the middle 
of the blower fix white Chives, tipt with dark pur- 
ple Pendents, and a white three-forked Stile in the 
mid ft of them. The Flower has no Smell at all, 
but is commendable chiefly for its Beauty and Form. 
After the Flower is pad, there comes in its place a 
round Head, feeming three-fquare, containing there- 
in fmall yellow Seed. 
IV. The fccond , with a purple Flower, has a 
white bulbed Root , like unto the former , but lejfer , 
as aforehinted : the Leaf hereof is not fo long as that , 
but broad and Jhort , fpotted with darker Lines and 
Spots. The Flower is like the other, but fmaller, 
and of a delayed purple color, very pale fometimes, 
and fometimes a little deeper, turning it felf as the 
other, with a Circle round about the middle. The 
Chives hereof are not white, but declining to pur- 
ple : in all other Refpe&s it is like to the afore- 
going. 
V. The third , with a red Flower, has a like white 
bulbous Root. The Form and Largenefs of the Leaj 
is like to the la ft deferibed , fo alfo the Form and Big- 
nefs of the Flower : but in this the chief Difference 
confifts, ^that the Leaves of this axe of a yellowilh, 
mealy, green color, fpotted and ftreaked with red- 
der Spots and ftripes, and the Flower of a deeper 
reddifh purple color * and the Chives alfo more pur- 
ple than the lad ; but in all other things they are 
very like one another. 
VI. The P laces. All the forts of Dens caninus 
grow in Foreign Countries, as in Italy on the Euga- 
nean Hills , on the Apenine , alfo about Gratz the 
chief City of Stiria, and about Bayonne , and in fe- 
veral other places : they alfo grow in the Gardens 
of our Florifts in England. 
VII. The Times. They mod commonly flower in 
March , and many times in April, according to the 
Warmth or Coldnefs of the Seafon. 
VIII. As to the Qualities, Specification , Prepara- 
tions and Virtues, they are much the fame with 
the Orchides or Dogs-ftones in the former Chapter, 
to which I referr you : only it is faid, that thefe are 
more efficacious for Venereous A&ions than any of 
the Orchides and Satyr ions. 
IX. Obfervation. The Pouder of the Root being 
given inwardly in Broth, Milk or Wine to one or 
two drams, is faid to be effe&ual againft Worms in 
the Belly •, to eafe the Pains of the Cholick, to 
ftrengthen and nourifh the whole Body, and to cure 
the Falling-ficknefs in Children. 
II. The Kinds. There are many kinds of this 
Plant, but the principal which grow in England are 
the three following, i . Geranium Columbinum vul- 
gar e, P es Columbinus communis , The common Doves- 
foot. 2. Geranium Columbinum Laciniatum, Pes 
Columbinus alter. The jagged Doves- foot. 3. Ge- 
ranium Saxatile , Pes Columbinus Saxatilis, The 
Stone or Rock Cranes-bill, or Doves-foot. 
CHAP. CCXXVIII. 
Of DOVES-FOOT. 
I. HP H E Names. It is called in Greek, Ti&mv 
* X xj oTKf t in Latin, Ge- 
ranium Columbinum, Pes Columbinus -, and in Eng- 
lifh, Dovesfcot. 
III. The Defcriptions. The firfl , or Common 
Doves-foot, has a Root which is fomething long and 
woody, having fome Fibres adjoining to it from 
whence arife fever al fmall, round, pale, green Leaves, 
cut in about the edges, much like unto Mallows, or 
rather a Doves Foot , flan ding upon long, reddifh, hai- 
ry Stalks, lying in a round Compafs upon the Ground -, 
from among which rife up two or three or more 
jointed, reddifh, hairy Stalks, flender and weak, 
with fome fuch like Leaves thereon, but fmaller, 
and more cut in up to the tops, where grow many 
very fmall, bright, red Flowers of five Leaves a- 
piece •, after which follow finall Heads, with fmall 
fhort Beaks pointing forth, as all the other forts of 
Cranes-bills do, of which this is a kind, whereby 
they are known to be of this Family, how differing 
foever the Face or Form of their Leaves may be. 
IV. The fecond, or Jagged Doves-foot, has a Rea 
like the former, from whence fpring up Leaves, 
which are greener, not full out fo round, and fome - 
what more cut in on the edges , making the Leaf in 
feem of fever al parts more than the other, or like 
the Vervain Mallow, but fomething lejfer. The 
Stalks are weak and leaning, like the former, as al- 
fo are the Flowers and Seed with its long Beak. 
V. The third , or Rock or Stone Doves-foot, is a 
leffer Plant than the Common Doves-foot, and las 
a Root which is fmall and yellow ifl?, yet abides mam 
Tears and perifhes not, and. alfo encreafes plent f ulm 
of the Seed it lets fall. From this Root fpring Jonh 
many fmall Leaves, very like to thnfe of the Com- 
mon Doves-foot, which are fome what cut m on the 
edges y.
