f rut icans Bteticum Clitfii, Lugdumnfis, Tabernmon- 
tjni , & aliorum , Teucrium Perigrinum folio fimtofo 
Bauhini, Spanifh Tree Germander. 
III. Tire Defcriptions. 
Tree Germander, hat 
The fir If , or Common 
Root which is Somewhat 
u vdy, f [’reading it felf about , with many Sitings 
and blackiSh Fibres adjoining to them. From this 
Root Spuing up hard, woody , brittle Stalks, (growing 
much like a little Shrub ) a Foot or two , add. /owe 4 
// 7 ;/ftr ^ Yard high, where Care i* taken of it , and it 
is preserved and defended from the Injuries of the 
Winters. Thefe Stalks branch themfelves forth on 
all fides, from the very bottom, bearing always 
Leaves by couples, fmaller, fmoother and thicker 
than thofe of Germander , of a dark Ihining green 
color on the upper fide, and greyifh underneath, 
and dented alfo about the edges, like them. The 
Flowers which are gaping, Hand about the tops of 
the Branches, Spike-fafhion, one above another, of 
a pale whitilh color, as Cluftus fays, but of a pur- 
ple, as Label fays, of both which colors it has beefl 
off 1 feen beating; but the Flowers are fomewhat 
larger than thofe of Germander , and without any 
Hood above, having a few Threads Handing forth, 
The Seed is fmall, blackifh and round, contained rrt 
finall round, but pointed Husks. The whole Plant 
is of a fine, pleafant, but weak Smell, yet fomewhat 
ltionger, if it is a little bruiied, holding the Stalks 
and green Leaves continually, ii it is not expofed 
to the Sharpnefs of the Winter Seafon. 
IV. The Second or Cretian Tree Germander, ha, 1 
a Root like the former , and Springs up and grows 
like a little Shrub ; it f ifes up with fuch like woody 
Stalks , and brittle, at the other, but Something Smal- 
ler and whiter ; on which do grow fuch like Leaves, 
and in the fame manner , but Something lejfer, lefs 
green and j, hitting above, and more hoary underneath , 
two always fet at a Joint, one oppofite to the other : 
with the Leaves towards the tops, come forth five 
or fix Flowers, Handing in a Husk, like unto the o- 
ther, but a little lefs, and of apurple color, which 
being pall away, lmall round leed follows like to 
the former. The whole Plant is a little fweeter than 
that firfl delcribed. 
V. The third , or Spanilh Tree Germander, has a 
woody Root, branching it fcTf forth under Ground, 
wilt many Fibres adjoining to it, from whence rifts 
Up a Shrubby Riant, growing Jbmetimes to be three 
or four Feet high, and litany times lower. It nfes up 
for the ttmfl part but with one woody Stalk, which is 
of a greyifh color, and divides it felf into fever al 
Arms or Branches, but fewer than that of Candy, 
two always fet at a Joint. The Leaves likewife 
Hand two together, fomething greater, and waved 
a little at the edges, of a fad green color above, but 
not Ihining, and more hoary underneath. TheFlow- 
ers Hand at the Joints with the Leaves, towards the 
tops of the Stalks, of a white color, without any 
Hood above, and with feveral Threads in the mid- 
dle, tlie lower Leaves hanging downwards. The 
Scent hereof is lefs odoriterous or fweet, and the 
Taitc is more bitter than the former, but abides 
with its Stalks and Leaves thereon, green, like the 
relt, but requires a little more Care for its Winter 
Security in our Country. 
VI. The P laces. They all grow with us in Gar- 
dens, where they flourith very well, and delight to 
grow in rough Honey places, which are mountainous 
and expofed to the Air and Sun. The fecond was 
brought to us from Candia ■, the third from Spain ; 
and therefore are not fo hardy Plants as the firfl of 
them. 
VII. The Times. Thefe Tree Germanders flower 
fomewhat later than the other Germanders do, viz. 
in July and Augufi ; and the Seed is ripe in fome" 
little rime after. 
VIII. The Vitalities, Specification , Trepanations 
and Virtues , are tile fame with thofe of the Common 
Germander in Chap. 313. aforegoing, to which we 
refer you. 
IX. An Obfervatiori. It is to be noted , That 
Galen makes Tree Germander to be hot in the fe- 
cond Degree, and dry in the third, to be of thin 
parts , and inciding alfo, whereby, he fays, it is 
helpful for the Spleen. Diofcorides fays it is ufed 
either green or dry , and is good to confume the 
C 1 lllCi. via J , U1JVJ. jj 
Spleen, being inwardly and outwardly applied ; it 
is alfo ufed againfl the Stinging or Biting of poy- 
fonous Creatures.
