matter , having many J, 'mall white fibres under- 
neath, by which it is faftned in the Ground. It 
has many J. 'mall round Leaves bluntly indented 
about the edges , J'omething like unto the Leaves of

vered fmall Branches, bearing very many fmall 
white flowers, conftfiing of five fmall Leaves , in 
which are many fmall red J 'pots to be fecn , as

heads, of a pretty fweet fmell, almofi like the 
fmell of Haw-Thorn flowers in the middle 
whereof are many fmall Threads compajfwg a head , 
which when it is ripe, contains fmall black Seed. 
V. Of this Second Species there is a Second 
Sort, called Sanicula guttata minor, being a fmaller 
kind than the former , both in its Leaf and 
flower-, the Leaves whereof are fmaller , but 
rounder, and more finely Snipt or Indented about 
the edges, like the Teeth of a fine Saw -, the 
Stalk is but a little above a fpan high, having 
many fmall white flowers, fpottei as the firfi, but 
with fewer Spots. 
VI. There is alfo a Third Sort of this kind, 
called Sanicula minor non guttata-. This in its 
Root, Stalk , Leaf, flower, form and manner of 
growing is like to the firfi fort of this fiotted 
kind at Seft. 4 above, as well in its Root , as 
its Stalks, Leaf and flower, but the only’ dif- 
ference is , that this is lejfer than that firfi 
fart, and has no Spots in the' flowers as that has. 
VII. The Third , or Bears Ear Sanicle. Its 
Root confifis of a Tuft of fmall Whit ijh threads, 
Sanicle Bears Ear’d;

Leaves, rifes up one naked round Stalk find 
fometimes..two or more , five or fix Inches' high 
bearing at the tops feveral final! flowers, fime- 
what fiuieet , like unto the purple Bears ears 
hanging down their heads, confifiing of five final' 
pointed Leaves apiece , of a dark reddifih pur- 
fle color, with a White Circle or Bottom in the 
middle, and fome fmall threads therein. After 
the flowers are pafi , there come fmall round 
heads fomewhat longer than any of the Beats 
ears. Banding upright upon their fmall foot, Balks 
in which is contained fmall round and Blackijh 
Seed. I he Leaves of this plant dye down every 
year and firing up anew w the beginning of 
the tear following, whereas the Bears Ears hold 
their Leaves Green dll the Winter, fiandihg Me 
a clofe head, the outermojl only perifhing after

dented hkewife about the brims, from among 
which rife up hard woody Stalks, near two feet 
high, having fuch like Leaves 1 thereon , as grow 
below, and branching forth with feveral fmall 
white. Starlike flowers ,n a tuft together at the 
1 ops. 
IX. Gerard defcribes the Bears Ear Sanicle thus. 
I be Leaves Jhoot forth inthe beginning of the Spring 
very thick and fat, and are like a Purfe or 
round Lump at their firfi coming forth-, and what 
'/ U Y rcai abroai > ,he UW port thereof is 
f ull of Veins or Sinews, and hollow or curled 
like the Crumpling of a Cabbage Leaf and are 
not only indented about the edges, but each Leaf 
is divided into fix or more fags or Cuts, deeply hackt - 
greemfh above, and of an overworn green colour 
underneath-, and hot in Tafie. from the middle 
whereof Jhoots forth a bare or naked Stalk fix 
Inches long , fomewhat purple in color, bearing at 
the Top, a Tuft of Jmall hollow flowers looking 
or hanging downwards, like little Bells, not un- 
like in form to the common Cow/1, ps, but of a 
fine deep red color tending to Fur pie bavin » 
in the middle a certain Circle of White, and at 
Jo certain point els or firings, which turn into ' 
an head, in which is contained the Seed. The 
whole Plant is covered as it were with a rough 
Woolltnefs. The root ,s fibrous and Theady. 
X. The Places. The firft or Common Sanicle 
grows in ftady Woods and Copfes almolt every 
where, and delights in- a fat fruitful and moift 
Soil. The fecond grows in fhady Woods on the 
Alps in feveral places; but with us in Gardens 
in many places, where they Thrive very well but 
delight more in the lhade then the Snn. The third 
grows alfo in many (hady IVoods both in Italy 
and Germany , Anfina and Stiria ; but with us 
in Gardens. The fourth was brought to us from 
theiback parts of Virginia called Canada.
