HI. The firfi, or Common Vervain Mallovir. It 
has a Root which is long , /wjgfr, and white , but 
fomewhat more Woody within. The lower Leaves of 
this Plant are Loft and green, fomething like to the 
Wild Common Mallow Leaves, but Lefler, and more 
cut in on the Edges, befides the denting: but 
thofe which grow up higher upon the Stalk, fwhofe 
' Bark may be broken into herds or threads like 
Hemp , and fometimes as high as the ordinary Wild 
Kind is) are more cut in and divided, fomthing 
like unto Vervain : The Flowers are of a paler 
purple color than thofe of the Common Mallow * 
but in molt, not fo much divided into feveral 
Leaves, and laid fo open, but abiding more clofe, 
or lefs fpread, and oftentimes without thofe Stripes, 
being fmooth and a little Ihining-, the Seed and 
Seed Veffels, are like thofe of the Common Mal- 
low. 
IV. The fecond , or Common Vervain Mallow 
with blufh Flowers. Its Root is much like , and lives 
as the Root of the Common Mallow does. This has 
long Stalks, and Flowers like unto the Common 
Wild Kind, and of the fame deep color * fo that 
Vervain MALLOW. 
you can fcarcely know it from that ordinary Kind, 
(and is found growing Wild together with it,) but 
only by the Leaf, which is as round and as large as 
the former, but cut into rtlanv tine Divifions, even 
to the Stalk which upholds it •, io that it leems to 
confilt only of Rags, or pieces of Leaves, there is 
allb another Plant of this Kind growing in all re- 
fpe&s, like to this jult now deferibed, but differing 
only in the color of the Flowers, which are of the 
fame blufh or light Carnation color, not much 
differing, but with feme Veins therein* of a deeper 
color. 
V. The third, or Common Vervain Mallow with 
white Flowers. The Roots of this are like the firfi * 
from which it differs fomething in its Leaves for that 
thefe are more finely cut in on the edges than that is : 
but in the Flower confilt the chief difference, for 
that this is white, yet tending to a little blufh : 
the Seeds are all'o like the firlt. 
VI. The fourth, or Small Vervain Mallow. This 
is a lefjer Kind, never growing fo great or high 
(is the others, but is lower like as the Small MA- 
lowi The Leaves hereof, are more divided, and cut 
in on the Edges, and moft ufually into five parts* 
being deeply dented allb. The Flowers are purple, 
like the Common Vervain Mallow, but leffer, in which 
conlilts the difference. 
VII. The fifth, or Small, hairy, rough, Vervain 
Mallow. Its Root is of a pale brown color, about 
the length of a Mans hand, with fmall Fibres ad - 
joyning to it. It has many very low and hairy Stalks, 
not above a foot high, divided into leifer Branches, 
fetwith feveral fmall hoary hatiy Leaves, cut into 
three or more divifions. At the top of the Stalks 
and Branches come forth feveral large purple 
Flowers , like unto the firft Kind , but every one 
ftanding in a hairy Husk, fo as ir is almolf prickly 1 
after which comes black Seed , contained in thofe 
hairy Husks, but more clofely indoled in them, than 
! in the others. 
VIII. The fltcth , or Venice Vervain Mallow. It 
hits a Root, which is long and fmall perifhing 
every Tear. It has long and weak Stalks, molt 
ufually lying or leaning upon the Ground : having 
here and* there upon them long Leaves and fome- 
what broad, cut in orgathed very deeply on both 
edges.-, fo that it leems as if it were divers Leaves 
let together, every one Handing upon a long foot 
Stalk* at the Joints of thefe Stalks where the 
Leaves are fet, come forth feveral Flowers, Handing 
upon long foot Stalks, which are fome what larger 
than any of the former Flowers, confifling of five 
Leaves, fmall at the bottom, and wide at the brims, 
of a whitifh color tending to a blufh, and fometimes 
all white, with fpots at the bottoms of* the Leaves 
on the infides, of a very deep purple or murrey 
color, which adds a pleafing grace to the Flower, 
which has a long pointel or peltel in the middle as 
yellow as Gold. Thefe Flowers are fo quickly 
laded and gone , that you can fcarcely fee any of 
them blown open, unlefs it be betimes in the Morn- 
ing, before the Sun fhines warm upon them -, for 
as foon as they feel the heat of the Sun they 
clofe up, and never open again * fo that you fhall 
very feldom fee a Flower blown open in the day 
time, after nine a Clock in the Morning. After 
thefe Flowers are paH, there come up in their places, 
thin, round, fhining, or tranfparent Bladders* 
pointed at the top, and ribbed down all along* 
in which are contained fmall, round, blackilh 
Seed. 
IX. The f eventh , or Cinkfoil or Hemp-like 
Vervain-Mallow. It has Roots which are great and 
long, Spreading in the Ground like unto the Roots of 
Marlh-Mallow, and Springing up a jrefh every 
year
