by which means you will extraS . into the Liquor

fomewhat longer, thicker, whiter, and more woolly 
than it and fomewhat dented about the edges ; the 
Flowers grow at the tops of the Stalks in rundles, at 
the feveral Joints with the Leaves , which are of a 
pale purplifh color, like the Common fort and Hand-

IV. The Defctiptions. The fir ft , or Common 
White Horehound, hat a Root which ts blackijh , hard 
and woody, with many Pibres or Strings thereat, which 
dies not every Winter , but abides many Years $ from 
this Root fpring up levetal fquare hoary Stalks, hall 
a Yard or two Feet high, fet at the Joints with two 
crumpled , or as it were rough Leaves , of a dull , 
hoary, green color, and of an agreeable good fmell, 
but of a very bitter tafte ; the Flowers ate fmall, 
white, and gaping, let in tough, hard, prickly Husks 
round about the Joints with the Leaves, from the 
middle of the Stalk upwards , in which afterwards 
is found fmall, round, blackifh Seed. 
V. Thefecond, or White Spanifh Horehound, has 
Roots like the former Common Kind , which fends 
forth levetal fourfquate Stalks, mo re white and hoi- 
VI. The third. , or Sweet Candy Hotehound. It 
has a long Jlender Root, furnijhed with a great bujh 
of Pibres, from which fpring up feveral crooked, or 
not very ftraight Stalks, which ate round, and not 
fquare, and ilenderer than the laft; on thefe Stalks 
grow fometimes broader , and at fome times and in 
fome places fmallet, longer, and narrower Leaves 
than thofe of the fecond Kind, (of which in my 
opinion this is a Species) thefe Leaves are fet by 
couples at the Joints, more dented about the edges, 
and more white or hoary than the former Horehcunds , 
as the Stalks alfo are, which branch forth into many 
{lender Branches, having Flowers at the Joints like 
the former, but fmaller, and purplifh, and fet in 
fmaller and fharper Husks, the Seed being alfo like 
it : The Un/avory or fmell lefs Kind has only thefe 
differences, that the Leaves are (hotter, narrower, 
and rounder pointed, and in a manner without any 
fmell. 
VII. The fourth, or White Hairy Horehound, cal- 
led by fome French Horehound. It has a woody ' fi- 
brous Root , which fends forth Stalks , fifing up. not 
above a foot high , round , and of a hard woody fuh- 
ftance, white and hoaiy, fpreading into divers 
Branches, on which grow thick Leaves, in the fame 
manner as the former, but fmaller and rounder, and 
a little dented at the edges, and fo white, fmooth, 
and woolly underneath , as no Cottonweed is more, 
but fomewhat blackifh and rugged on the upper fide ; 
the Flowers Hand at diflances at the tops of the 
Branches , of a pale purplifh color , and in the like 
rough Husks.
