many black Strings , which pCrifh not , but abide 
many Years-, this Plant rifes up with round, ftraked, 
reddifh, green Stalks, a Foot 4nd half high, fet with 
fomewhat large rough Leaves , like unto thofe of 
Hcabarte , Without any order, but not fo fat or thick, 
and dented about the edges , encompaffing them at 
the bottom, and pointed at the ends; the FlOWers 
are yellow, like to other Havokweeih , fet in hairy 
Husks upon long Footftalks, which turn into Down, 
and with the whitilh long Seed is blown away with 
the Wind. 
XVIII. The fixteenth , or Broad Leav’d Hawkweed 
with a great yellow Flower. It has divers large 
hoary Leai r es lying next the Ground, fometimes a 
little waved, fometimes again torn on the edges, 
fometimes with black fpots on them, and fometimes 
without any, from among which rifes up an hairy 
Stalk, with very few Leaves thereon, fpread out at 
the top into two or three other Branches, at the tops 
of each of which is a large yellow Flower, like to 
the Great Hawkweeds. 
XIX. The /event eenth^ or Round Leav’d bulhy 
Hawkweed. It grows about a foot and half high , 
the Stalk being linked, round, and fomewhat rough, 
fpread out at top into feveral Branches , three or 
four Inches long apiece, every one having at its head 
a pale yellow Flower; the Leaves encompafs the 
Stalk at their lower ends, and are fomewhat round, 
about an Inch and half broad , yet ending in a little 
point, dented about the edges, hoary, and of a light 
green color. 
XX. The eighteenth , or Rough broad Leav’d 
bulhy Hawkweed , has a Root wholly compofed of 
Strings and l'mall Fibres, which being cut or broken 
yield a Milk like Juice, aS molt of the Hawktoceds 
do ; it has broad and fomething long, hard, rough, 
dark green Leaves lying on the Ground, without 
any inciffures or dents on the edges; the Stalk which 
rifes up among them is two or three Feet high, thick 
fet with fuch Leaves unto the top, but lefs, and 
growing lefler and lelfer; at the tops Hand a ftw 
yellow Flowers, compofed of fewer Leaves than the 
Flower of the other Kinds, confifting but of one row, 
which are as the border to the middle Thrum, and 
being pall away turn into Down ; fometimes this is 
found to vary, with lefs rough , or rather with loft 
Leaves, fometimes broader and Ihorter. 
XXI. The nineteenth , or Greater narrow Leav’d 
bulhy Hawkweed. It has a Root which is whitilh, 
very long , and deeply fpreading into the Earth, 
quickly over running a great deal of Ground, for 
every little piece being broken off will grow , and 
fo is not eafie to be rooted out of that place where 
it has once taken pofleflidn ; this Hawkweed grows 
very like the lall, but has longer and narrower Leaves, 
fomewhat rough , and dented or waved about the 
edges ; the Stalk is more Branched at the top, where 
the Flowers are more and thicker, the Leaves of 
which are of a fair yellow color. 
XXII. The twentieth , or Lelfer bulhy Hawkweed. 
It has a Root which is Ihort, and as it were bitten 
off, without any Fibres at it; this lefler bulhy Kind 
rifes up with a Angle Stalk, about a Foot and half 
high, fet about with feveral (hort and fmooth Leaves 
in fome places, and with almoft round rough Leaves 
in others, dented about the edges, and at the top 
bearing feveral yellow Flowers upon (hort Footftalks, 
much like the laft. 
XXIII. The V laces. The firft fix are Planted for 
the molt part in Gardens, having been firft brought 
to us out of Italy, yet the fecond of them has been 
lound growing Wild in England ; the feventh is a 
native of France, but tranlplanted hither; the eighth 
and ninth only grow with us in Gardens ; the tenth,' 
eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, 
and fixteenth, grow upon Mountains and Hills in 
feveral parts of England, are alfo Narivfs of Italy 
and Germany , and are many of them trahfplanted 
alfo into our Gardens; the fouf laft Kinds grow 
with us in Gardens, as alfo naturally Wil'd in leve- 
ral places of England and Germany ; the eighteenth 
and nineteenth have been found growing in the way 
going from London tb Hampft'ed Heath , a, alfo in 
fevetal other places. 
XXIV. The Times. They alfFlower, and their 
Down flies away in the Summer Months, and rile 
again of their own Seed, but lome of them will a- 
bide until the cold of Autumn edifies them to peril!); 
but the moll tender of them will Flower with us till 
the end of Attguft , the Seed ripening in the mean 
time. 
XXV. The Vitalities, Specification , Trepanations 
and Virtues of ail thel'e are the very fame with the 
Common Kinds in the former Chapter, and are thought 
to be no lefs effectual than they in all the Eftefls and 
Properties pertaining to them," to which you are re- 
ferred. 
XXVI. An Obfervation. It is to be noted , that 
tho’ the properties and force of all thefe Plants mav 
be faid to be one and the fame with the former Com- 
mon Kinds, both from their form and their Litter 
tafte, which indicates in a great meafufe their Qua-, 
lities and Virtues, yet the fixteenth , or Broad Leav'd 
Hawkweed aforegoing, is particularly commended 
by Camerarius as a thing Angularly good for the 
Phthifick, or Confumption of the Lungs, being made 
into a Confeive or Syrup, or the Pouder of the Herb 
being taken with Honey ; he fays that in My fa they 
put at into their Sallets, Broth, and Meats, for the 
lame purpofe; and that it is available for the Pleu- 
riiie alfo, . being fo affirmed by feveral Authorities, 
and that without any help of Blood letting: If the 
Pouder, ConfetVe, or Syrup, be fo effefluul as Ca- 
merarius fays, then without doubt the Liquid Juice 
or Eflence mull very much tianfeend any of thole 
Preparations: The Eflence may be given three or four 
Spoonfuls at a time, Morning, Noon, and Night, 
either alone, or elfe mixed with any proper Vehicle; 
and fo tb be continued till the lllceration of the 
Lungs is digefted, cleanfed, dnd healed, which you 
may eaflly know by the frefh Countenance oF the 
Difeafed Patient, dnd by his getting a new producti- 
on of Flefh upon liiS Back, as alfo by his' cealing to 
fpit Matter and Corruption:
