This Plant Branches from the Root divers ways 
fomewhat thick, fet with fat green Leaves, fome- 
thing long, not very broad, and Jharp pointed, not 
notched, dented, or waved on the edges : The 
tops of the Branches or Stalks are without 
Leaves, but ftored vajily with fmall yellowifh 
Flowers, conftfting of four Leaves, which endure 
only one day, falling' away for the mofl part , with- 
out bearing any Seed, or if any yet very /part ngly : 
fo that on the whole Plant , there will [carcely

cf this is much like the former : from whence come 
Leaves (before any Stalk fprings up) which are a 
little toothed or finely denied about the edges : the 
Stalk is about the height of the former , but fpreads 
not it felf out fo much into Branches -, but carries 
an Vmble of purplijb Flowers like unto the former -, 
after which comes the Seed, which is of fome thing

or not much higher-, thefe Stalks are difperfedly Jet, 
with fmall broad Leaves, thick and Jhort, broad at 
the bottom , cornered about the middle, and pointed 
at the end, fomewhat refembhng Ivy Leaves. The 
Flowers are fmall and white, growing Spike fajhion 
at the tops of the Stalks or Branches : which being 
paft away, fmall Seed Vejfels come in their places, 
which are parted at the ends, and contain fmall Seed.

XIII. The eleventh, or Common Towers 01 
Towering Muftard. Its Root is compofedof many

orderly withfuch like Leaves, one above another on 
all fide s, but encompaffng them at the bottom, which 
are narrower than the afore deferibed GroundLeaves, 
longer, or /harper pointed, broader at their joining 
to the Stalk, with two round corners. At the tops 
of the Stalks , which are feldom Branched , come 
forth very many fmall while Flowers , as if were in a 
Tuft, together -, blit Flowering by degrees, the low- 
ermoll frfi, and fo gradually upwards, they bring 
forth long fender Pods prejently after, which (land- 
ing upright, round. about the Stalks, before the high- 
eft Flowers are bfown, each whole Stalk feems like

came its Name. In which Cods or Pods are 
contained, fmall , brown , and (harp biting Seed.
