Salmon'* 'Herbal. Lib. I, 
c - own wards, i'pread into many Branches, at the foot 
of which grow long, fmooth , dark green Leaves, 
ah, out four Inches in length, and an Inch and half 
in breadth, Lome of them without divifions, and 
others very much rent, torn, or jagged,, very irregu- 
larly, almolt (in fome places) to the middle Ivib, as 
are all thole efpecially which grow higher and up- 
ward on the Stalk and Branches, each of the Branch- 
es and Stalk being about an Hand breadth below 
the tops, bare of Leaves, and at the tops of each of 
which grows a yellow Flower , of a middle fize, 
which turns into Down , and is carried away with 
the Wind. 
VII. The fifth , or Garden Succory like Hawkweed 
with White Flowers. This Plant in its Root, Stalk, 
Branches, Leaves, and Flowers, is very like unto 
the former fourth Kind, but that the Leaves in this 
are fomething larger and broader, and more cut in, 
or jagged and torn on the fides , even to the middle 
Rib, (tho’ they can hardly be more irregularly torn 
or jagged than the former) the Flowers alfo in this 
Plant are of a whitilh color, and more yellow in the 
middle, alfo fomewhat reddifh underneath, which 
palling away turn into Down. 
VIII. The fixth , or Garden Succory like Hawk- 
weed with bluih Flowers. It has a Root which is 
com po fed of a down right Stem, with feveral Fibres 
adjoining thereto, which always perifh after Seed 
time* from this Root fpring up feveral long and 
fomewhat narrow rough Leaves, lying next the 
Ground, very much rent or torn in on the edges, and. 
f rom among thefe Leaves rij^ five, or fix, or more, 
fender, lliorr, brown, and hairy Stalks, about a Foot 
or more high, Ihooting forth into one or two Branch- 
es, with lefier Leaves, and lels divided, up to. the 
tops , where are feveral large Flowers, confifting of 
two or three rows of Leaves, of a deep blufh color, 
and of a fomewhat ffrong Opium like fmell, which 
Leaves of Flowers are broad pointed, and nicked at 
the ends , the ourwardmoft row being larger than 
the inner , Handing in rough fcaly Husks ,. in which 
afterwards the (lender, long, brown Seed is contain- 
ed , which lying among much Down , are carried 
away together with the Wind. 
IX. The J'eventh , cr Wild Succory like Hawk- 
weed with vellow Flowers. It has a Root which is 
long and white , with fome fmall Fibres adjoining 
thereto , which fends up. fome few Leaves , lying 
next the Ground, fomething long and narrow, wa- 
ved , or unevenly dented about the edges , in fome 
more, in others lefs, and fometimes hairy withal, yet 
when Planted in Gardens has little or none at all*, 
it alfo fends forth many llender Stalks, with a few 
Leaves fet difperfedly upon them, which arefmaller* 
Than thole below , and (harp pointed ; thefe Stalks 
branch forth at their tops, on which Hand feveral 
green fcaly Husks, with yellow Flowers in them, a 
little bending their Heads before they are blown, in 
which grow crooked Seed, lying in the Down, which 
after the Flowers are paft away, are both carried 
away with the Wind. 
X. The eighth , or Great broad Leav’d fmooth 
Mountain Hawkweed. It has a bulhy Root, wholly 
made up of a great number of Fibres or Strings, which .

row at the lower ends , and broader to the middle, 
where they are broadeH , then declining in their 
breadth, and ending in a point, being unevenly dent- 
ed or waved about the edges, and encompaifing the 
Stalk or Branches as they rile up , the Stalk and 
Branches bear every one or them three or four Flow- 
ers, yet hot in an tlmble like manner; thefe Flow- 
ers leldom appear open, but when they do they are 
yellow, like unto others, which afterwards pafs into 
Down, and are alfo carried away with the Wind. 
XI. The ninth , or Small broad Leav’d fmooth 
Mountain Hawkweed. This Plant in its Roots, 
Stalks, Leaves, Branches, Flowers, and Seed, as al- 
io in its manner of growing , differs not from the 
former great Kind , but only in its magnitude, this 
being in all refpe&s fmaller , and the whole Plant 
lower and lelfer. 
X1L The tenth, or Turnep Leav’d Hawkweed. 
The Root is fomething long and Hringy, of a red-

being rough , and torn ia on the fides into round, 
pointed jags, from among which riles up a rough, 
reddifh, flraked StalK^ a Foot and half or more high, 
with one or two fmall fhort Leaves thereon, divided 
towards the top into many fmall Branches, on each 
whereof Hands one Flower for the moft part, and 
fometimes two , of a middle fize , and a yellow co- 
lor, which being paH away turn into Down, which, 
(as the relt) is carried away with the Wind. 
XIII. The eleventh , or Dented Hawkweed with a 
great Flower. The Root is much like the former, 
which fends forth Leaves, lying for the mofi part all 
on the Ground, being four or five Inches long , and 
an Inch broad , a little woolly or hoary ; and finely 
dented about the edges , of a fad green color ; the 
Stalk rifes up to be about a Foot high, and is in a 
manner bare of Leaves, rough, and hollow, bearing 
one realonable large deep yellow Flower at the top. 
Handing in a fine fcaly Husk, which turns into 
Down, as the relt do, and is blown away with the

This is a large Hawkweed , and has a round rough 
Stalk, three Feet high, fpread out into many Branch- 
es, on every one of which Hands a large Gold yellow

which grow up higher upon the hairy Stalk, which 
is about a Foot high , are fomething fhorter , but 
three times broader , pointed at the ends , and lefs 
hairy ; the Stalk fpreads it felf out into two or three 
Branches, every one bearing commonly one Flower, 
and fometimes two or three , out of woolly or very 
hoary Husks, of the form and color of other Hawk- 
weeds , turning alfo in like manner into Down. 
XVI. The fourteenth, or Mountain hoary Dande- 
lion like Hawkweed. The Roots of this Plant lye 
Ipreading themfelves under the upper CruH of the 
Earth, fending forth feveral Fibres, Ihooting down- 
wards; from this Root come up divers heads of 
Leaves, which are not all of an equal length, but 
fome longer, and fome fhorter than others, as being 
one, two, or more Inches long , and half an Inch
