The Defcriptions. 
Ill The firfi, or Theophraftus and Homer’s 
great Moly. Its Root grows very great, fometimes 
greater than any Mans Rift doubled or clofed, which 
is one great Bulb, and not divided into Cloves as 
Garlick is, but Jmells (hong like Garlick, being 
whitijh on the out fide, and green at the top, if it 
be but a while bare f om the Earth about it. It 
rifes up molt commonly with two, but fometimes 
with three grear, thick, long, and hollow guttered 
Leaves, of a whitilh green color, very near to the 
color of a Tulip Leaf: having fometimes at the 
end of fome of the Leaves, and fometimes a part 
by it fell', a fmall whitilh round Button, like unto 
a fmall Bulb, the like of which alfo, but greater, 
does grow between the bottom of the Leaves and 
the Stalk, near the Ground, which being planted 
when ic is rips, wilL grow .into a Root of the 
fame Kind. Among tnefe Leaves rife up a round, 
ltrong, and tall Stalk, a Yard or more high, bare 
or naked unto the top, where it bears a great Tuft 
or Umble of pale, purplilh Flowers, all of them 
almolt, Handing upon equal foot Stalks, or not one 
much higher than another, confiHing of five Leaves 
apiece, ltriped down the Back with a fmall pale 
Line, having a round Umbone or Head with fome 
Threads about it in the middefi. Theft Flowers 
abide a great while blown, before they fade, but 
fmell not ltrong like thofe of Onions or Garlick , 
but have a faint feent. When they are paH, the 
Seed comes, which is black, and enclofed in white 
clofe Husks.
