as it were a bulh of fmall, long, hard Leaves, much 
longer and more in number than thofe of the Greater

differing therefrom.

Of HORSETAIL Naked,

Naked SHAVEGRASS. 
f I ''HE flames. It is called in Greek 'I?TTfc.'; 
r j Latine Hippuris Nuda , Equifetum 
Nudum , and in Englijh Naked Horfetail , or Naked 
Shavegrafs. 
II. The Kinds. There are three Kinds hereof, 
•912. 1. Hippuris Tragi , Equifetum Junceum Tragi , 
IH. The Defcriptions. The firfi, or Naked Horfe- 
tau, has a Root which is jointed, and creeps like 
the others, from whence rife up many freight naked 
folks, jointed, but without any Leaves at the joints- 
lometimes the Stalks are fingle, and fometimes with 
one or two other like Stalks fpringing out of their 
lides, which are likewife jointed, naked, and grow- 
mg ftrarght upright; thefe Stalks are of a rough and 
Eujh like lublrance, growing to be a Foot or more 
high, fometimes to two or three Feer high, accord- 
ing to the goodnefs of the Ground ; by its nakednefs 
of Leaves it is known from all the other Kinds of 
Horfetail, and is more ufed by feveral Workmen to 
fmooth and polilh their Works of Wood, Bone, Var- 
nilh, and Japan, than any of the others. 
IV. Thefecond, or Branched Rulh Horfetail has 
Roots hke the former, and differs only from it in its 
growing with many Stalks from the top of one that 
fell nfes out of the Ground, and that many of thofe 
Stall.,, do branch themfelves forth into others all of 
them full of joints, and without Leaves, fo that the 
whole feems to be a kind of Bulh. 
V. The third, or Small Naked Horfetail variega- 
te 1 : , r • a blackijh, creeping R : ct, from 
which fpring up feveral fmall, hollow, pale green 
Stalks , of a Foot high , and fometimes not fo much, 
“ °J joints, the lower joints of which are 
blackilh , and the upper whitilh , without Leaves 
(which is probable to be the fame which Johnfon on 
Gerard lays he found with fmall Leaves, and called 
Horfetail Coralline, tho’ this may fometimes feem to 
differ both from his and that of Gefncr) at the tops 
whereof
