VI. The fourth, w Greater Flefh Fly Fox Stones, 
hat Tefiicles like the other Kinds , from whence 
fpring up three or four fomewhat broad and long 
fmooth green Leaves next the Ground ; the Stalk 
riles about five or fix Inches high, with a few large 
Flowers fet at top, refembling a great Flelh Fly, 
made of four Leaves, three above, and one long one 
below. 
VII. The fifth, or Frog Orchis, or Fox Stones, has 
a pair of Tefiicles large , and fomething long , with a 
String or Strings at the bottom part thereof ; from 
this Root fpring two or more broad and fhort Leaves 
below, but narrower and longer as they grow up 
higher on the Stalk , at the top of which grow fe- 
veral yellowifh Flowers, refembling the Bodies of 
Frogs, with the Head and fore parts greenilh, from 
whence it took the Appellation. 
VIII. Johnfon on Gerard gives us another of the 
Frog Kind, which he calls Serapias Bat rachitis al- 
tera, or another Frog Orchis -, this has a Root Jhaped 
between the Orchis rotunda and Palmata , it grows 
to the height of the former, with fhort Leaves encom- 
pajfing the Stalk at their fet ting on -, the Flowers 
grow on a Spiked Head, and refemble a Frogs with 
their long Leaves * but if you look upon them in a- 
nother manner, they will then fomething refemble 
little Flies, for which reafon Lobe l calls it as well 
My odes as Batrachites . 
IX. The Jixth, or Spider Flower, has for its Root 
a pair of round Tefiicles , from whence fprings forth 
a Stalk much about the height of the Frog Orchis -, 
upon which grow fix, eight or more Leaves, being 
more in number than grow upon the Stalk of the 
Frog kind, they are alfo narrower and longer. At 
the top of the Stalk come forth three or four Flow- 
ers, refembling a Spider in the round Belly, and 
the fmali Neck or partition, between it and the 
top Wings. 
XI. The eighth, or White or Purple Birds Flower, 
has a large pair of round Tefiicles, but a little point- 
ed at Bottom -, from whence fpring up four, fix or 
more Leaves, which are fomething large, and for the 
tnofi part Checquered or Spotted ( for there is much 
diverfity herein-, fome having broad, large and 
pointed:, others narrower, lelfer, and rounder point- 
ed Leaves : ) there are feveral other Leaves which 
grow upon the Stalk, which feem to enclofe or em- 
brace it ; being long, fpotted alfo and fharp point- 
ed. The Flowers grow towards the top of the 
Stalk, Spike fafhion ; which are large, and like the 
laft, with a Spur alfo behind them; fome of them 
are all White, others are'Purple, and Ibme between 
both, of a purplilh White. 
XII. The ninth, or Long leav’d Fox-ftones, has 
ufiudly but one found Tefiicle ( the other as it may 
feem, being decayed and gone ) with fome Fibres 
both at head, and on the fides , which is not ufual in 
any of the other Orchides. From this Root riles 
up a Stalk about three Feet high, having two very 
long Leaves at bottom, but of an unequal length ; 
thofe which grow next on the Stalk are much long- 
er, fome being a Foot and half long, and very nar- 
row -, but thofe up higher are Ihorter and broader. 
At the top of the Stalk grow the Flowers fpike fa- 
fhion for a Foot in length, each of which ftands like 
a crofs hollow Pipe, having a broad and long beard 
thereat, of a fine blulh Color, with a more purplilh 
Leaf like a Tongue, hanging down, broad above, 
and fmali below.
