V. I he third, or Meadow Hartwort , hat a Root 
w huh n block without and white within, divided in- 
t0 freer, tl hr, inches, with Fibres adjoining to them-, 
t'torn this Root rile feveral Stalks of Leaves, as alio 
01, e main Stalk, two or three Feet high, with feve- 
r al large fpread Stalks oh winged Leaves, very finely 
cut into many parts, each being like unto Fennel, 
hut larger, harder, and oh a dark green color, let at 
the Joints, and branching forth towards the tops, 
bearing Umbles oh white Flowers, which being path, 
linall long, and ibmewhat fiat Seed comes in their 
place' which is larger and blacker than Fennel Seed 
and near unto Meant, or Spignel, oh little fmell, and 
a fmall (harp tafte. 
VI. The feurth, or Common or True Hartwort of 
Pcloponefus of Diofcorides. This Grscian Hartwort 
has a great Root, blackifh on the outfide, and white 
within, growing deep into the Ground, like Ferula , 
or Thapfia , fomething fweet in fmell , and hot in 
tafte ; the Stalk grows to be about two Feet high, 
or more, as thick as ones Finger, with feveral large 
fpread Leaves at rite bottom, as great as Hemlock , 
but crumpled , rough , and hairy ; the Stalk and 
Branches bear large Tufts or Umbles of yellow Flow- 
ers, which being pall away yield broad, flat, wing- 
ed Seed, of* pale yellow color, fomewhat like unto 
Angelica, but greater, and nothing fo thick, of a 
very lweet fmell, as fweet as the Sefe/i JEtbiopicum ; 
this, lays Label, the moft Learned and Judicious 
Herbarifis of Montpelier acknowledge to be the true 
Sefe/i Pc/oponefe Diofcoridis, though formerly they 
took it to be a kind of Thapfia, but the true Thapfia 
is much differing from it both in form and color, as 
thole who pleaie to obferve may find. 
VII. The fifth, Or Narrow Leav’d Meadow Hart- 
wort of Germany, has a Root as thick or ones Finger, 
and very long , black without, and white within, of a 
Jharp and fomewhat bitter tajie-, from this Root 
fprings up a round, cretted, or firaked Stalk, three 
Feet or more high, with feveral Joints and Leaves 
at them, very like for their. form and divifions unto 
Wild Carrot Leaves, butfmooth, and notrough, 
and of a deep green color, fpreading it felf forth in- 
to feveral Branches, bearing at their tops Umbles of 
whitifh yellow Flowers, after which follow fma.Il 
long Seed, fomewhat like to thofe of Fennel or Ca- 
raway, or between them both, and a little Aromati- 
cal in tafte. 
VIII. The ftxth , or Milky Marlh Hartwort. It 
has a long Root, which is brown on the outfide, white 
within, and of an unpleafant tafte, joined with much 
heat, by which it inflames the Throat-, but being 
Planted in a Garden it loofes much of that evil tafte 
and burning quality , becoming much more mild ; 
this Root fends up a Stem or Stalk four or five Feet 
high, with Joints, and long Stalks, or Branches or 
well fpread Leaves fet at them , the divifions of 
which are fmall, and much cut in, almoft like to 
thofe of Conaways, or between them and Fennel-, at 
the top of the Stalks it fpreads forth into Branches, 
which bears at their tops fmall Umbles of white 
Flowers, which being paft away, flat, thin, winged 
Seed follows; the whole Plant, or any part thereof 
being broken, there flows Horn it a certain Milk like 
Juice, as there likewife.does from many other Um- 
belliferous Plants. 
IX. The feventh, or Greater Candy Hartwort. It 
has a Root which is white, fomewhat long, and woody 
after it has Seeded, and then perijhes , rifling again 
plentifully from the Sowing of its own Seed : This 
Root fends forth rough, hairy, round Stalks, about 
two or three Feet high , fet with long Stalks of 
winged Leaves, much refembling Parfnep Leaves , 
both in form and magnitude, yet fomewhat longer 
and narrower, dented about the edges, and pointed 
at the ends, being rough and hairy likewife, and turn- 
ing themfelves a little backwards to the Stalk ; to- 
wards the tops of the Stalks they fpread themfelves 
forth into Branches, and have fmaller Leaves fet at 
the Joints than grow below, bearing Heads or Um- 
bles of purplifh white Flowers, whereon, after they 
are gone, grow whitifh, flat, round Seed, circled 
about, as it were, with a border , and cut in round 
about it alfo with round dents, of little or no fmell 
or tafte. p 
X. The eighth, or Small Candy Hartwort. It 
has a Root which is unprofitable, and as perijhing as 
the laji , which fends up fuch like Stalks of winged 
Leaves as the former, but fmaller, rounder, and 
fhorter, a little hairy, and whitifh ; the Stalks am 
leffer and lower, fuller of Branches, bearing paler 
purplilh Flowers in Umbles, and Seed after them, 
of the fame form or lhape , but quicker , as the 
Herb alfo is, and therefore the more accepted, and 
ufed as a Sallet Herb in Italy, and other Southern 
and hot Climates. 
XI. The ninth, or Great yellow Candy Hartwort. 
This has a like Root, and grows very like the feventh, 
or Greater Candy Hartwort, having the like Leaves 
on the Stalks, but fomewhat broader and fhorter, a 
little (harp in tafte, and not above two or three pairs 
together, fet on the like Stalks , but fmaller on the 
Branches, and bearing Umbles of yellow Flowers, 
like Dill, without any Leaves under them , as the 
others have, which being paft away the like whitifh, 
flat, round, Buckler like Seeds , ringed and dented 
about the edges follow, but they are larger and 
fmoother, and divided in the middle, with a brown- 
ifh ftroke or line, making the Seed feem like unto 
a kind of Thlapfi, or Treacle MuftardSeed: Cola le- 
nd fays that this Flowers and Seeds at Naples hi 
May, and grows only in Gardens there. 
XII. The tenth , or Smalleft Candy Hartwort. It 
has a Root which is fmall, white , hard, and a lilt a. 
hot in tafte-, this Plant is very like unto the Lefter 
Candy aforegoing at Seth X. above, but it has Leaves 
like to the lower Leaves of Coriander, foft, but a 
little hairy, the firft Leaves being of an Inch and 
hair
