Heals of this Root Spring forth livers Stalks Mi 
grow upright, thick, round, or green, about a 
toot thick, fet with Leaves up to the lops, which 
are four what long and narrow, like unto t bo/e of 
Orpine, but fmaller , yet as fat and thick, and of 
the like pale green color, whereby it much rcfcmblcs 
Orpine in its Leaf, blower, and manner of 
growing. the Leaves arc dented about the 
edges. And the blowers are many, fmall and 
yellow, fet in a Tuft, or Cluftcr , but Some- 
thing fmaller than Orpine, with Seed in Heads 
like unto it alfo. 
IV. Gerard thus deferibes it. The upper end of 
the Root is thick and knobby, and grows for the 
moH part out of the Ground, and is there of a 
purp/ifh color, bunched and knobbed like the Root 
of Orpine, with many hairy Strings hanging there- 
to of a pleafant Smell when it is broken, like to 
that of the Damask-Rofe, from whence it took its 
Name, b'rom this Root Spring forth many Jma.ll, 
thick and fat Stem -, about which the Leaves are 
jet round even from the bottom Jo the top, 
like to tho/e of the Field Orpine, but nar- 
rower , and more fnipt about the edges, the 
blowers grow at the tops of the Stalks of a faint 
yellow color. . . 
V. The Second, or Rofe-Wort,- wRofe-Root, 
with Leaves not dented. This in its Root, Stalks , 
Leaves, blowers, magnitude, and manner of grow- 
ing, is much like the former, and fcarcely 'at JirJt 
fight to be difeerned from it , the only difference 
being in the Leaves, thefe being fmooth, or even , 
and not dented on the edges, as the former are 
And this it is which anfwers to the Cut which

oltentimes on the very raggedlt places, fcarcely ac- 
cefiible, and very dangefonS by feafon of their 
heighc and,lleepnefs, fo that one may be in great 
danger of tumbling down, who does not look 
wearily to their Footing. Gerard fays, it grows
