5 76 Salmon s Herbal, Lib. I. 
Dercription are much different. 4. Hyofcyamus a/bus 
Creticus Clufij , Hyofcyamus albus Creticus alter, lie 
other white Henbane of Candy ; and this is tnat 
which is defcribed by Johnfon in his Gerard. ^ 
III. The Defcriptions. The firft, or White Hen- 
bane, ( which is the greater kind ) hats a Root which 
is not much unlike to that of the Common Henbane, 
but leljer , and perifhes every Tear after it has given 
Seed : this has divers large Leaves, but not lo large 
as the Common , yet more loft and woolly -, and tho 
very much torn in or jagged on the edges, yet not 
fo much as the former, fomethmg rounder alio, and 
of a paler green color: the Stalks grow higher, and 
With fewer Branches on them. The flowers jre in 
Form like to the Vulgar , but 1'maller, and of a pale 
color, enclining to a tvhitilh yellow : the Seed 
likewife grows in fuch like hard Husks but lels 
pricklv, and is whiter but the Smell of the whole 
Plant is nothing fo foporiferous, offenfive and heady 
as the tirft kind in the former Chapter. 
IV. The feconi , or Lclfer white Henbane. This 
differs not much in the Root, Stalk, Branches, or 
manner of Growing from the former White Henbane, 
■but that it feems to be every ways lefs : the Leaves 
alto as they are fmaller, lo they are much rounder, 
having indented Scallops upon them, and hanging 
upon pretty long Foot-ftalks. The Flowers and 
Seed-veflels are very like to thole lait defcribed m 
the former Seftion. _ , , 
V. The third, or White Henbane of Candy, has a 
Root which is fomewhat thick and fhort, like 0. Na- 
vew Root, dying with us every Tear. It has leljer 
and thinner Leaves than the firft White, more white 
and woolly, and much more cut in on the edges, 
dented alfo, and Handing upon longer Foot-ftalks. 
The Stalks are more tender and (hort, having fuch 
like Flowers, ending in full round Leaves, Handing 
higher above the Husks, of a lair yellow, and feme- 
times of a pale yellow color, and purple at thebot- 
tom. After which (being palfed away ) there comes 
forth Heads of Seed much like the Common kind, 
but fomewhat yellower , or ol a lighter color, and 
in rounder Heads or Husks. 
VI. The fourth, or Other white Henbane of Can- 
dy. It has a Root which is /efficiently thick and large, 
with many fibres or Strings adjoining to it. This is 
a fofter and tenderer Plant than the fecond or third 
before delcribed -, the Leaves alio hang upon long 
Foot-ftalks, and are covered over with a i'oft Dow- 
nineis and they are fomewhat broader than the fe- 
cond abov e, and more finuated, and fomewhat re- 
fernbte the Form of a Vine Leal, being alfo Trapped 
or notched about the edges. The Stalks are alfo 
covered with a white color. The Flowers are of a 
Gold yellow, with a Velvet kind of Circle in their, 
middle. This is the Defcription ol that which Clu- 
fuis had fiom his Friend Jatptes Plateau, who had 
the Plant in his Garden, growing from the Seed 
which he received from Candy. 
VII. The Places. The firft of thefe grow in Nar- 
hne in prance, near the Sea fide. The fecond grows 
alfo in hot ( limes, and where the foft of thefe 
grows. The tltiid and fourth are Natives of Candy , 
and grow alfo in Spain : but all thefe kinds grow 
with us here in England only in Gardens. 
VIII. Tim Times. They all Power towards the 
latter part of July, and alfo in Auguft ; and their 
Seed is ripe in Ottober ; but it does not often come 
to FcrfeEtion with us, by reafon of the Coldnefs ol 
our Cline. 
IX. The Qualities, Specification, Preparations and 
Virtues of thefe are exactly the fame with thole of 
the Black Henbane, laving that thefe are not fo cold 
as thofe, as not exceeding the third Degree. 
X. Not a. The Black Henbanes are both account- 
ed to be more dangerous than the White, an., there- 
fore to be avoided as much in inward Medicines as 
may be, unlefs adminiltred by a skilful Hand, or ex- 
cept in the cafe of Necefiity, when the White is not 
to be had. The White if; chiefly to be ufed in inter- 
nal Phyfick; and is very available for all the good 
Intentions which the Black are Paid to be ufeful ior, 
and therefore to be cholen.
