a ni Scarcely rifes above an Inch in height , having

of a Role, fprcadmg forth like a little Star. 
X'lV. The Eleventh , or Cup Mofs, or Cup like

creeping upon the Ground, and are of a mhitijh yel- 
low color, as are the fmall hollow Leaves like Cups, 
e <v 9 x o s s. 
which rife front them. There is another Kind here - 
of, growing not on the Ground as the former, but 
on Rocks and Stones, whofe Cups are f mailer, more 
in number, and not fo white.

on thofe Rocky Barren Hills, and Stoney or Rocky 
Grounds , where almofd nothing will grow. It rifes 
out of the Ground with feveral J lender , weak, and 
fomewhat broad Stalks, three or four inches high , 
naked, and without Leaves, from the bottom to the 
top, but parted into f mailer Branches, and they again 
into leffer , which are forked at the ends like unto 
Horns, of a dusky white color. 
XVI. The thirteenth , or fmalleft Ground Mofs. 
This fmall Kind of Mofs tfually grows with us, 
not only upon thofe Grounds , which are not f ined 
or turned up for two or three years together, bill 
alfo in flower Pots of Earth in Gardens many times, 
which have not been lately fiirred. It is nothing elfe 
but a number of Jhort green Hairs, matting upon 
the Ground, which in the heat of Summer , and 
fame times fooner, will fend forth fmall fiort 
Stalks an Inch high , with fmall ycUoatJh or grecn- 
ijh Heads on them. This tho’ bef known to many, 
has been little regarded by moft, and not mentioned 
by any before, except Tragus, and them which have 
followed him. 
XVII. The fourteenth, or Firr like Mofs. It 
grows clofe upon the Ground , creeping thereon with 
feveral long Branched Stalks, with fine, Jhort, hairy, 
green Leaves, fet on both fidcs of the middle thereof, 
refembling a Eirr-Tree Branch, from whence it took 
its blame.

arc feveral Kinds of this Mofs, fome bigger, and 
feme leffer than others, all of them rifing up with 
feveral Stalks, fome blackijh, feme reddijh, and fine 
Leaves on them, much like to Fern Leaves but m 
fome more finely cut of jagged iytto feveral parts, 
than in others • on the tops oj the Branches of the 
leffer fort, hang fmall, round, pointed , crooked 
Heads ., 
XIX. The fix! tenth g or Maidenhair Mofs, or 
Golden Maidenhair greater and leffer, as Gerard 
calls it. T here are three Kinds of this Mofs, 1. 
One that has many Jhort Stalks thick covered with 
Jhort, but fomewhat hard, rough, Hair-like Leaves, 
growing in wet Grounds. 1: Another which is lifts 
in each part, and the Leaves not rough or hard at 
all. 3. Another which is the leaft fort, and the 
Leaves fmpothefi : Thefe two laii grow upon old 
Walls. Gerard fays , that the firfi of thefe Kinds 
has Stalks about an handful high, covered with Jhort 
Hairs Jlanding very thick together, of an obfeure 
yellow green color, out of which' Stains fpring up 
fometimes very fine naked Stems, and fomewhat black , 
upon tbl tops of which hang as it were Utile Grains 
like Wheat Corns: Its Kents are alfo very Jlcnder 
and extreamly fine. 2. The fccond differs only in 
magnitude from the former, and has many hairy 
Threads upon its Branches. 3. The third which is 
the very leaf of all ( and pojfibly the leaf of 
Plants which grow ) has only three or four of 
thofe hairy Threads chfe to the Root. 
XX. The fevcntcenth, or Hdary Coral-like Mofs. 
This fmall Mofs has many fmall Hair-like Leaves, 
next the Ground, like unto the Common Ground 
Mofs, among which rije up, rough Stalks, three or 
four ' Inches high, in fome places bare if Leaves, 
and covered in the reft, with many fitch like Leaves, 
as are growing on the Erica Cons folio, but with- 
out order-, cn the tops of each whereof Hands a 
fmall Head.

This is 1 all of a hoary white, growing about a Loot 
high, wlwfe upright Branches are thick, /olid, and

whereof is like unto a Stags-Horn, and Jharp or 
fmall at the end. ~ ; ' 
XXII. The Kiiieteentb, or Coral-like Mofs with 
reddifh Horns. This Mofs grows among the ordina- 
ry, or common Ground Mofs. And is a delicate fight 
to behold -, the pale, green, ordinary Mofs to grow 
on the ground, and this Mofs being all white, to 
grow out from among it, parted like Coral into 
many Branches, hard or rough in handling-, but the 
ends or tops of them are all of yellowijh or reddijh 
color , like fmall, hard, or rough Horns. 
XXIII. The twentieth, or Mountain Coraline- 
like Mofs. This is a fmall low, wbitijh, dry Herb, 
with fmall hollow Stalks, not ' forty or hard at all, 
but finely cut and divided into many parts, much 
refembling the true Coraline: this is oftentimes 
found upon dry he/thy Grounds. 
XXIV. The twenty firfi , or -Reeky Coral-like- 
Mofs. This grows on Rocky Hills among other 
Molfes in Naples, as Columna fays, whofe Branches 
are many, and each ending in a two forked like 
Horn, jomething like the double forked Horn cj o 
Stag , being hollow and white within^ and cicen 
without.' but of an ill curt}')' fin ell.
