‘ '\\. The fecond, or True HedgMuftard. Its Root 
is fmall, tmipcrifhes after Seed time ; but by Joining

divers large winged Leaves, of a Jrejher green 
color than the former , and fomthing J mailer 
than the following third Kind-, which ate cut tn 
on both fides into Several parts, but J mailer, 
refembling the divijions of fame of the Leaves oj

V. The third , or Broad Leav’d Hedg Muftard. 
1/s Root is not Jo long , nor Woody at the Jirji is -, 
but it is more Fibrous , an Annual , not abiding above

moji ufual , which is round and about half a Turd 
high, having on them a pretty many of thofe like 
Leaves, but f mailer -, the Stalk or Stalks, fpread 
themf elves out into Branches towards the top, from 
all which come forth very [mall yellow Flowers , con- 
f fling of four Leaves apiece-, after which follow 
whitifh, yellow fmall Cods or Pods, growing like t he 
former clofe to the Stalk, making a pretty long Spike, 
which has alfo Flowers continuing at the top, till the 
Flowering time is over . Thefe Pods contain within 
them fmall yellow Seed-, not full out fo Jharp or 
Jlrong as the former, yet fomething quick and biting 
upon the Tongue. 
Leaf growing larger as they are higher, but the 
end divifion or Leaf is the largefi of all, which is 
alfo gafht fomewhat deeply on each fide, and fharp 
pointed at the very ends-, each Jeveral part of thefe 
winged Leaves, are unevenly dented about their 
edges, the leffer in like manner dented as the greater. 
The Flowers are fmall and yellow , confifling of four 
fmall Leaves apiece: which being pad away, leave 
long round Pods J landing upright and cloje to the 
Stalk like the former, making a Spiked Head like the 
two Jtr ft, not altogether fo long , but a little bending 
withal l, the Pods themf elves being a little fhorter , 
a l mo ft like thofe of Rocker.

Untilled places. The fecond grows in like Places 
as the firft as Matthiolus lays, and is very frequent- 
ly found wild in Italy •, wirhus it many times grows 
in Gardens : Gerard fays, he found it growing 
at a place by Chelmsford in Ejje.x , called little
