X -UVh : in Latine , Lampfana , alfo , and is 
thought to be the true hampfane Diofcoridis : in 
Englijh Nipple-wort. 
II. The Kinds. Some will have this Plant to 
be a Species of Soncbus or Sowthijlle •, others 
of Hieracium , or Hawkweed -, if it is a Species 
of either, it feems rather to be of the latter ^ 
I rather think it to be a peculiar Plant fui 
generis , or of its own kind. The three follow- 
ing Species we fhali deferibe to you, viz. 1. 
Lampfana Vulgaris , Lampfana Diofcoridis -, Lamp- 
fan a Lobelij, Dodoncci , Lugdunenfis , T balij & Ca-

III. The f.rjl , or Our Common Nipple-wort. 
Its Root is f mall and thready, and being broken or cut, 
yields a white bitter Milk or Juice. From zobence 
fpring up one or more upright hard Stalks , on which 
grow dark green Leaves , from the bottom to the 
tops , but leJJ'er fill as they grow higher: in fome 
places whole without dents on the edges , and in 
others with a few uneven cuts therein, fomething 
after the manner of Hawkweed. Lite tops of the 
Stalks have frtall long Branches, which bear many 
fmall Star like yellow' jh Flowers on them, which con- 
vert into fmall Seed. 
Nipple-wort Common. 
IV. In Gerard , the former is thus Defcribed. 
Its Root is fmall Fibrous and white -, its Leaves are 
rougbifh and hairy , of an over-worn green color, 
deeply cut or indented, on both fides like the Leaves 
of fmall Turneps. T he Stalks grow to the height 
of two or three Cubits, and fometimes higher, di- 
viding themf elves towards the top , into f undry 
little Branches, whereon grow many fmall Flowers, 
like thofe of Hieracium or Hawkweed : which de- 
caying are fucceeded by little Creffed Heads, con- 
taining a longifl) fmall Seed, fomewhat like to Let- 
tice Seed, but of a yellowifh color. The Flant is 
alfo Milky, and the Stalk Woody.

Nipple wort. This Wild or Wood Kind differs 
not much either in Root, Stalks, Leaves, Flowers, 
Seed, or manner of growing , from the former,
