VI. The fourth, or Double Hyffop. Tb» Hyffop 
groats lower and thicker than the former Kinds, be- 
ing thicker let with {lender and not fo woody 
Branches, bending their Heads fomewhat down- 
wards, and much more thick fet with Leaves ot a 
dark green color; in the Flower and other particu- 
lars it differs not from the firit Kind defended in the 
former Chapter. ,, , T _ T .. 
VII. The fifth, or Broad Leav d Hyffop. T his 
differs very little from the firft Common Hy lTop in 
the former Chapter, neither in Root, Stalk, Leaves, 
nor Flowers, Living that in this the green Leaves are 
larger and broader, and the Stalks are more woody 
than it, keeping the fame form and. lubftance. 
VIII. T be jixth, or Jagged or Dented Hyffop. In 
its tops and top Branches it differs not much from 
Our Common Garden Hyffop, but otherwise the 
Stalks are fomewhat bigger and higher, and the 
Leaves a pretty deal larger and longer, and regular- 
ly cut in or dented on the edges, which makes it 
another or differing Species of the fame Plant. 
IX. The f event!), or Musked Hyffop. Thts dif- 
fers fcarcely any thing from Our Common Garden 
Hyffop, a* Gefner in Hortis Germania: has declared 
but in the fmell, which is fo fragrant, grateful and 
pleaiant , that it comes very near to the Imell or 
W X k ’T/;f eighth, or Tufted Hyffop. It if in Roots, 
Stalks, Leaves, Blowers, and manner of growing, 
fomething like unto the Garden Kind firjt defertbed 
in the former Chapter, but a little taller and low- 
er, the Leaves being of a paler green color, and the 
top Branches fpreading a little broader, having Blott- 
er Spikes of Leaves and Flowers, growing as it were 
in Tufts, which has caufed the Name, and is indeed 
the principal difference. 
XI. The ninth, or Curled Hyffop. In its Roots, 
Stalks, Branches, and manner of growing, it offers 
not much from the Common Garden Kind , having 
alfo much the fame fmell ; but herein confilts the chief 
difference, that the Leaves thereof are curled or 
crumpled at or about the edges, and that each Leat 
feems to be compofed of many. 
XII. The tenth, or Narrow Leav d Spiked Hytiop. 
Its Root is like that of the Common Hyffop, it B a 
fine fort, and has many {lender hard Stalks, on which 
are fet at diftances, (as in the Common Hyffop) many 
tall green Leaves, but longer and narrower than 
they and ending in a longer point-, the Flowers uke- 
wifc grow ar feveral diftances, as it were in Roun- 
dles almoft from the middle of the Stalks up to the 
Eras of a blewifh purple color, like the Common 
Kind but much taller, and fo is the Seed alio-, 
the Branches hereof will take root and grow being 
laid into the Ground, the Root fpreading much in 
the Earth. r. 
XIII. The eleventh, or Round Leav d Hyiiop. It 
has a hard , ndjiy, and fibrous Root, alfo hard woody 
Stalks, on which grow feveral tall and almoft 
round Leaves, one againft another, but pointed at 
the ends; the Heads or Spikes of Flowers are like 
unto Our Ordinary Garden Sort in the former Chap- 
ter, and the Flowers themfelves are of a blewifh 
purple color-, the fmell is alfo much the fame with 
the Common Kind. 
XIV. The twelfth, or Dwarf Spamlh Hyffop, 
which LobeL calls Hyffopus Parva Anguftis Folijs. 
X his bet* a finally woody, fibrous Root , which fends 
forth Stalks fmaller ana lower than the Common 
Kind, nor do its Branches rile fo high as the Vulgar 
Garden Sort, but bend a little downwards, the 
Leaves alfo being taller and thicker, and of a fad- 
der green color, and the Heads or Spikes fhotter; 
but the Flowers are purple, like the Garden Kind. 
XV. The thirteenth, or Mountain Wild Hyffop- 
Its Root is J mail, woody, and with many fibres or 
I firings-, in its manner of growing it is very like un- 
to the Common Garden Sort, but the Leaves are not 
fo many at a joint, and are fomewhat harder and 
rougher, and a little hairy, and fomething narrower 
withal, which, as Matthiolus fays, being brought 
into Gardens, and there nurfed up, will in length ot 
time put off that roughnefs, and become more 
fmooth and foft; the tatte of this is much more bit- 
ter and nothing fo hot or fweet as the Common 
Kind-, the Flowers and Seed are like to the Garden 
Sort both for form and color. 
XVI. The Places. They are all of them nurfed 
up with us only in the Gardens of The Curious, and 
grow as well as the Common Kind, but the Dwarf 
or Spanijh Hyffop, as alfo the Mountain Hyffop, 
grow naturally on the Hills in many places ot Spam 
and Germany , and on the Hill Salvatin in the Coun- 
tli of Goritia. . 
’XVII. The Times. They all Flower in the Sum- 
mer Months, viz. thro’ June and July, and begin- 
ning of Auguft, and theit Seed is ripe in the begin- 
ning or middle of Auguft. . 
XV11I. The Qualities, Specification, Preparations , 
and Virtues, are fully and exaHly the fame with 
thofe of the Garden Kind declared at large in the 
former Chapter, lo that nothing more need be find 
thereof in this place.

HYSSOP Marfli. 
I.'T'l/B Fames. It was unknown to the Anci- 
JL ent Greeks, the Arabians call the Seed there- 
of Gelbenech, the Latines call the Plant Gratiola , 
fo it is named by Dodonaus, Gefner, Label, Lugdu- 
nenfis, Matthiolus, and others; by fome it is called 
Gratia Dei, and fome call it Gratia Dei altera, be- 
caufe there is another Herb among the Gerania fo 
called; Cordus calls it Limnefium, or Centauroiies, 
becaufe many for the bitternefs thereof did think it 
a Species of Centaur'nm minus ; Gefner calls it Gra- 
tiola, five Centaurium Aquaticttm, alfo Sefamotien, 
Columns fays that it is ufually called Gratiola, yet 
favs it is thought of fome more duly to be taken for 
ff Common Hyffop-, Baubinus in his Pinax calls it 
Gratiola Centauroiies, and we in Englijh call it 
Hedge Hyffop, for diftinaion fake, not that it grows 
hy any Hedge fide, but ufually in moift and watery 
places, for which reafon it might more properly be 
called Marjh Hyffop. 
II. The Kinds. It is twofold, viz. i. Gratiola. 
Vera The True Hedge Hyffop, which is a lingular 
Plant and of which we treat in this Chapter. 2 . 
Gratiola Notha, Baitard Hedge Hyffop, ot which we 
(hall treat in the next Chapter following. 
III. The Defcription. It hat a Root which Jhoots 
forth to and fro under Ground very much, with many 
joints and fmall fibres at them, thereby tncreafwg and 
quickly fpreading very far about, efpecially ?/ it 
(lands in any moift place , becaufe it will fcarcely en- 
dure long in any dry Ground 5 it is but a ima*l lovt 
feldom growing above a Foot high,^
