wanner Climates where it is a 'Native, hr on this 
Root fpring up fever al Stalks of Leaves , next to , 
or lying upon tl>c Ground, winged and divided into 
parts, much like to (he COfrimon Gardeh Parity, but 
with greater, broader , and rounder Leaves, dented 
round about, and in fame places more ■ deeply cut in 
barfly Macedonian. 
or gafht , of a bright pale green color: among which 
rifes up, a Jhort, thick, and feme what hairy Stalk, 
about half a Lard high or higher, full of Joints 
and Leaves and fo fore ad out into Branches, that 
it f cents a fmall thick bujh : at the tops of all which j 
are fmallXJmbles of whit if blowers, and after them, 
fmall, rough, dark, grayijh Seed, Jomething like un- 
to our Common Garden Parity Seed, efpecially 
after the rough nefs is rubbed from them , yet fome- 
what longer and darker, of an aromatick or fbarp 
Tafie, with an unfavory bitternefs lafi of all, not 
much unlike to Cumin Seed. 
IV. The fecond, or fecond fuppofed Stone 
Parity of Macedonia. Its Root is long ( as Co- 
lumna fays ) like that of our Garden Parity, and 
black on the out fide, with a tuft of hairs at the 
Head thereof, neither fbarp, nor fiveet , (but Co 
lumna fays it is more fbarp and bitter, than the 
Root of the Garden Parity : ) From this Root rife up 
feveral /lender Stalks of winged Leaves , having 
fever al very thin cut Leaves thereon, all cf 
them like the uppermofi , and not the undermoji 
leaves of the Common Garden Parity, or like un- 
to Dill, of a blew green color , having three of the 
Leaves always fet together, at the end of the 
winged Stalk, as Parity has, andfmelling fo like 
■ unto Parity, as both Columna and Lugdunenfis do 
fay, that if it is fmelt to, when a little bruifed, 
tho" the F erf on was blinded and did not fee it , yet 
they would judge it to be Parity, fuch as toe com- 
monly ufe. At the tops of the Stalks grow fmall 
Urnbles of pale reddijh or blufb colored Flowers -, 
after which follow fmall Seed , like to that of 
Parity, Jomething biackifh, and furrowed or gu:- 
tered like unto Cummin. Seed, of a very fbarp Ta<h\ 
almofi burning the Mouth, and of a Jwcct Smell 
Buffo bitter witha/l, that it may well be accounted 
the mofi bitter Seed of all the kinds of Parity. This 
Kind is taken by Dalechampius, to be the True 
Parity of Macedonia, to which Columna f cents to 
confcnt. 
V. The third, or the more common Mountain 
Parity. The Root, cf this Plant is long, great and 
thick, with a bufb of Flairs at the top thereof, being 
fweet of Tajle, fbarp and Aromatic al : from whence ■ 
fpring up feveral reddijh Stalks of large fpread 
Leaves, winged and divided into feveral parts, /v- 
mg like a bujh upon the Ground next the Root, very 
like unto Garden Parity, but fometbing larger, and 
Cm el ling we If From among which rifes up a Chart 
Stalk of about half a Lard high , with divers the 
like Leaves upon it, branching or f presiding it felf 
out towards the top, and bearing thick ' Tufts or 
Umbels of white blowers-, after which comes fmall 
Seed, like , that cf Smallage, f melting a little Jwcct 
fbarp in Tajle, and bitter withall. 
VI. The fourth, or Truer Mountain Parity of 
Diofcorides. The Root of this is fmall, long, and 
white, not much differing from 'that of Common 
Garden Parity .* from whence Jhoot forth next the 
Ground feveral Stalks of winged Leaves , and 
among them a hollow Kexie Stalk , in fame places, 
growing tall and high, in others more Jhort and low, 
according to the Soil in which it grows-, having 
thereon feveral large fpread Leaves, cut and di- 
vided feme thing like to thofe of Hemlock, or Gar- 
den Parity j bearing at the top , Umbels of white 
Flowers -, after which comes the Seed, which is long 
and biackifh, not much unlike to Cummin Seed, being 
fwcct in Smell, and fbarp in Tafie. 
VII. The fifth, or Paris, or Black Mountain 
Partly. Its Root is Urge, white , and thick, tafting 
and fuelling much like to the Root of Herb Terrible 
which is hot, bitter, and unpleafemr. The whole 
Plant does referable our Common Garden Partly, 
lying thick, and bujhing on the Ground: the 
flowers gram at the Tops of the Stalks and'Branches 
in Umbels, of a white color : after which comes th» 
Seed, which is fixup m Tajle , but fmelling very 
fweet. 
VIII. The Places. The firft grows in Candia 
and Venice, and the Seed has been brought Horn 
thence to us. The fecond grows (as Lugdunenfis fays) 
on the Rocky Hills of Gratianopolis j and (as Co- 
lumn,! fays) on the Hills of Campoclarenfis and: 
JEquicolis: with us they both grow in Gardens 
where they flourifh very well. The third, or firjl 
Mountain Parfly grows near unto Vienna in AuJIrm 
(as Clufws fays) and on the Mountains on the 
Rocks in Germany, and other Places. Dodonoeua 
fays, it grows upon the Hills which divide Silefta 
from Moravia : alfo it is faid to be found on other 
Hills and Mountains in the North parts of England. 
The fourth, or fecond Mountain Parfly , is- found 1 
on the borders of Fields on the Mountains- of Bur- 
gundy. The fifth, or third Mountain Parfly, i s 
found on the Tandy top of the Surene hill near 
Paris: but theft two lalt grow with us only in- 
Gardens. 
IX. The Times. The two firft Flower in the' 
Summer Months, but Seed late with us. The 
other three Flower alfo in the Summer time and 
yield their ripe Seed foon after. 
X. The Qjiahties, Specification, Preparations and- 
Virtues of thefe Species; are the fame with 
thofe of Our common Garden Parfly, declared in 
Chap. 539. juft aforegoing, fo that we need fay no 
more of them hete.
