White Garden Lupine. 
The Defcriplions. 
III. Thejhji , or White Garden Lupine, It hat 
a Root which is not very great , but woody , and full 
of j mall Fibres , by which it faftens it fclf ft rough in 
the Ground , yet perijhes every Tear, as all the reft 
of thefe Kinds do. It rifes up with a great round 
Stalk, hollow, and fomewhat woolly, with feveral 
Brarches, on which grow, on long Foot-flalks, ma- 
ny Leaves, confifiing of five, fix or feven diftinS 
parts, or other fmaller Leaves, equally Handing 
round about as it were in a Circle, much like thofe 
of the Chaft-Trec , of a whitifli green Color on the 
upper fide, and white and downy on the under fide, 
which in the Evening, about the fetting of the Sun’ 
hang a little flagging downwards, as if they were 
a going to wither. Among thefe, at feveral Joints, 
come forth Tufts of Flowers, Handing many toge- 
ther, like unto Beans , of a white Color in lome 
places, and in others of a very bleak Blew, tending 
to white, and in others a pale or light blulh Color 
( as Gerard has it.) After the Flowers are palt’ 
there come in their places great, long, broad, fiat 
and rough Cods, in which are contained round and 
fiat Seed, like a Cake, covered with a tough white 
Skin, but yellowifh on theinfide, and of a very bit- 
ter Tafle ; where they cleave unto the Cods in that 
part, they have a certain Dent, like a little Navel.

with Blew on rhe Heads of the innermoit Leaves,, 
and in the Hollows of the uppetmoH.
