only becaufe they have a foul ftrong Scent, like that 
of the Goat, but alfo rhat molt of them have long 
Tails, like Beards, hanging down from them. 
^ III. Of the Male kind , which is the Greater 
Goat s-fl ones, there are two Species, viz. i. Tra- 
gorchk ma* maxima , The greateft Male Goats-flones. 
2. Tragorchis mas tnagna , Tragorcbis vulgaris mag- 
na , The common great Goats-ftor.es. 
_ IV. Of the Female kind , which is the Lejfer 
Goat s-fl ones , there are three Species, vis. i. Tra- 
gorcbis fcemina minor , Tragorcbis minor verior , 
The true leffer Goats-ftones. 2. Tragorcbis Bata- 
vica Clufii , Tragorcbis minor Batavica , The Dutch 
Goats-ftones, or Hares-ltones. 5. Tragorcbis minor 
Aujlriaca , Tragorcbis altera purpurea , Auftrian 
Goats-ftones, Goats-ftones with purple Flowers. 
^ V. The Defcriptions. Tbe firft , Greateft Male 
Goats-ftones, /jar Raa/r confifting of two Teftic/es , 
like / 0 other Orchides, but greater , from whence rife 
up Leaves , /w'fig #/><?/? //;^ Ground , which are broad , 
and ribbed in fame fort like to our Plantane, 
but fomewhat fhorter. From among thefe Leaves 
grows up a Stalk, about half a yard high, let with 
fuch like great Leaves, but growing a little narrow- 
er as they grow higher* growing up even to the top 
of the Stalk by equal Diftances. The Bufh of Flow- 
ers grows at top of the Stalk in Spike-fafhion : the 
Flowers are fmall and fiat, open, and wholly of a 
purple color, let in a Row, and in an excellent Or- 
der •, each Flower has a long crooked Thread or 
String proceeding from its middle part, and hanging 
down, which twine themfelves one in another, like 
to the fmall Tendrils of the Vine , or rather the 
Laces or Strings which grow upon the Herb Savory : 
both the Hood and the Tail are fpotted, and have a 
ftrong Scent. 
Great Common Goats-flones. 
VI. t 'be fecond , or Common great Goats-ftones, 
has a double tuberous or tefiiculous Root, like the for- 
mer t J^vmg that the lc /rides are fame thing lefs • 
from whence jpring up Leaves , like to thofe of the 
Garden Lilly, with a Stalk a Foot or more long, 
wrapped about, even to the 'Tuft of tbe Flowers with 
tl ofe kinds oj Leaves : the Flovyers which grow in 
this Bulh, Ihoot forth in a Spike Form, and are ve- 
ry fmall, in Form like to a Lizard, becaufe of the 
twilled or writhen Tails, and fpotted Fleads. Eve- 
ry one of thele linall Flowers is at iirft like a roui d 
dole Husk, of the Bignefs of j Pea * which, when 
it opens, there comes out of it a little, long and 
tender Spur or Tail, white towards the ferting of i: 
to the Flower ^ the reft fpotted with red Dallies, 
having upon each fide a linall thing adjoining turo 
it, like to a Leg or Foot : tbe reft of the laid Tad 
is twilled crookedly about, and hangs downwards. 
The Leaves of this fort are indeed longer and nar- 
rower than the former * the Flowers are fmaller, 
whiter, and fpotted with reddilh Spots, and the 
Tails are more twining. The .whole Plant is as 
ftrong as the firft, and has a rank, ltinking Smell 
or Savor, like the Smell of a Goar, from whence 
this, as well as the former and all the following, 
have derived their Names. 
VII. Tbe third , or True lefter Goats-ftones, has 
its Root or Tefiicles much lefs than either of the for- 
mer, with fever al narrower and long Leaves ( a little 
ribbed ) rifting from the fame , which do as it were 
enclofe a Jingle Stalk, which is alfo enclofed about 
with like bur fmaller Leaves, to the beginning of the 
f piked Head of Flowers. Thefe Leaves are much 
lefs than thofe of the two firft delcribed, and the 
Flowers are without Spurs or Tails, and fomewhat 
like in Shape to thofe Infefts called Sows or Wood 
Lice for their Proportion * and they are fomewhat of 
abrownifh color. Gerard fays. That the blowers 
much refemble our common Flem Flies. The Smell 
of the whole Plant does much more rdemble the 
rank Smell of a Goat, than any of the other 
kinds.
