kind of Peafe has two or three Stalks at the 
miff, which are broad and flat, welled or 'wing- 
ed at the Jides , with fame what long Leaves 
J "hooting from them , f mall at the Jetting on 
to the Stalk, and broader towards the end, 
as it were growing from the middle Rib of 
the other , at the top of which comes forth 
two or three twining Clafpers. This Plant ne- 
ver foots forth any Branches, but the Leaves 
from almoff the of the Stalks -upwards

a re parted as it were at their tops into one 
°r two f nailer Leaves-, or rather one or two 
f mailer Leaves grow at the top of them with 
the Clafpers between them. At the foot of ihcfe 
Leaves ^ fcrljj jingtc r lowers, like to the 
Cicer or Garden Chich Peafe in the following 
Chapter, which are wholly white, and turn into 
final l , round , long Cods, with fmall crooked 
points at the end, and Films at the Backs, in 
which are contained fmall , round , whitijh Peafe, 
a little bitterifh. 
VI. The fourth, or Blackifh winged white 
Peafe. This in its Roots, Stalks, Leaves, Flowers, 
and manner and form of growing, differs no- 
thing from the laft Defcribed , faving in the 
color of the Flowers , which in this /ire tending 
to a reddifh purple: the Peafe in the Cods alfo 
afe more dusky, tending to black. 
VII. TJoe fifth , or Englifh Wild Sea Peafe. 
The Root of this peri Uses not every Tear, and 
in its Roots , Stalks , Leaves , Flowers , and Cods, 
and manner of growing, differs not much from 
the fecond fort before defcribed: but herein 
this differs from that , viz. That it groves 
fomewhat greater, and bears many Flowers to- 
gether in a Tuft, mixt of purple and Afh 
color : and the fucceeding Husks or Cods are 
fmall and long . 
Peafe Sea Wild Englilh. 
VIII. The fixth , or other Englilh Sea Peafe 
or Suffolk Peafe. Its Root runs down incredibly 
deep into the Ground, etientwo Fathom, or twelve 
Pcet deep at leaf , and fpreading infinitely (as it 
were) therein , among the very Stones and Beech 
of the Sea. From the Head of this Root fp rings up 
a triangular Stalk full of Joints y bending to the 
Ground, with two Leaves at every Joint, brap lC f,. 
ed forth in divers Places with winged Le W£s (lt 
them, conflfling of ten or twelve <\ jr y cr,- een 
Leaves, Jet by couples or pans on a 'middle Rib 
with a fmall Clafper at the end ^ eac ]j Leaf not 
being much unlike to Sea POrfiane. The Flowers 
grow towards the Tops o* t jae Branches, 8 or io 
fet together in a Chip \ er ^ u pon a fmall long Stalk, 
which both for for m and color, are very like to 
the flrji Kind 0 f Wild Peafe, but with a white- 
tie fs in th ' middle, ivhen it is full blown. The ■ 
Fruit or Cods which follow , are lefjer than thofc 
of th c Common Field Peafe, and contain (many 
tiKies) 8 or io Peale in a Cod, each of which 
has the whitenefs called the Eye of the Pea, 
■which cncompafles half the Pea, like a Semicircle, 
the which being Ripe and dry are of a darkifh 
color. About a lard deep or more under the 
Stones, there is found feme Sand, or f indy Earth, 
in which the Roots of this Plant fpreai, which 
rae not great, but /lender pliant and flexible, not 
fweet but bitter, as the whole Plant is, and the 
Peafe alfo. The old Stalks dye away every Tear 5 
but from the old Head of the Root , toil/ J, hoot 
many long, white Tendrels, like the Root of the 
Email Bind- weed, by which it wonderfully encr cafes, 
and not by the Seed , as has been found by Expe- 
rience. For that the Seed falling upon , or among 
the Stones of the Beech , it is fcarcely pofjible it 
fhould grow there , there being no 'Pabulum or 
Earth to nourifh the fame , till you dig two or 
three
