or three Feet high, bearing both at the bottom and 
at the Joints, large, fpread, winged Leaves, divi- 
ded into many fmall Leaves, whole fmall Foot- 
Italks bear uiually two Leaves, and fometimes four, 
fet one again!! another, and three always at the end, 
each being much broader and (horter than Sow Fen- 
nel Leaves, almtft ecjual to thofe of Me U lot, for 
which Reafon it is called alfo Latijolium, or Broad- 
leaved, relpecl being had to the Breadth of the 
Leaves, of the next following. Thefe Leaves, if 
they be a little rubbed, have a fweet Smell. The 
Stalk fpreads at top into a few Branches, bearing 
very large Umbels M white Flowers, and after 
them, long, thick, full, brownilh, yellow Seed,

Lovage. This differs not much from the former, 
but that it is much lejjer , and comes not up to half 
the Height thereof , being not above a Foot and half 
high j whole Stalk is alfo divided towards the top 
into Branches, which bear fmall Umbels of white 
Flowers. It bears winged Leaves, (being but few ) 
which are compolbd of many other Stalks of Leaves, 
growing not much unlike to the other, or like Sow 
Fennel, two Leaves, and fometimes four or more, 
fet one again!! another, and three generally at the 
end. Thefe Leaves are much Ihorter than thofe of 
the former, and alfo narrower, for which Realbn it 
is called by fome Authors Angujf folium, or Nar- 
row-leaved, refpeft being had to the Breadth of the 
Leaves of that juft aforegoing. Thefe Leaves, as 
they grow nearer the top, are yet more finely cur,
