Ill The Defcriptions. Thefirft, or Greater Yel- 
low and Red Honeywort, has a Root whtcb isfome- 
wbat great and thick, fending therefrom many Fibres 
within the Earth, but periflies every Fear after Seed 
time ; this party colored Plant rifes up with divers 
thick hairy Stalks, almoft two Feet high, on which 
are Let long large Leaves, of a blewifh green color, 
fpotted with great white fpots , round at their far- 
ther ends, and fo much encompaffing the Stalk at 
the lower ends, that it Teems to go thro them, fet 
with feme fmall Pricks or Thorns thereon, and a lit- 
tle hairy withal; the Stalks are branched toward the 
tops in other Smaller ones, and full of Leaves, but 
much leffer, whofe ends do turn inwards, like the 
Turnfole Heads, at every Leaf whereof comes forth 
a long hollow Flower, like unto a Comfrey Flower, 
and ai large, which in fome are all yellow, with a 
l-eddilh circle about the middle thereof, but m others 
from the middle forwards is of a yellow color the 
other part next the Stalk being of a purplilh red 
color with fome Threads in the middle tailing 
fweet like Honey, wherewith Bees are much delight- 
ed each Flower Handing in a green Husk, divided

nered, and flat at bottom, where it is joined to the

at thefirft approach of Winter 5 it rifes forth ot the 
Ground after the falling of its Seed, with two fmall 
Leaves, like thofe of Bazil between the which 
Leaves comes forth a thick, hr fmoorh, tender, 
and brittle Stalk, fbll of Juice, di viding i t felf into 
many other Arms, which are alfo divided into many 
other Branches, bowing or leaning towards the 
Ground, being not able without props to fultain it 
felf, by reafon of the great weight of Leaves, 
Branches , and much Juice , with which the whole 
Plant is furcharged ; upon thefe Arms or Branches 
are placed many thick rough Leaves, fet with very 
(harp prickles, like the rough Skin of a Thornback^
