Bulbs of the Bulbed Lilly , or of the bulbed Coral 
Root toil/. 
VI. The third, Or our Golden Saxifrage. Its 
Root is Bujhy , compofed of a great number of 
fmall Strings or Fibres. It is a fmall low Herb , 
having many round Leaves lying upon the Ground , 
bluntly indented about the edges , Comet hi tig like 
the former common White Saxifrage , but not hairy , 
fame what thicker alfo , and of a darker green 
color, from among which rife up fever al fender 
and weak Stalks , little above an hand bredth high , 
with ftch like Leaves on them, as grow below, 
up to the Tops where among the Leaves come 
forth fmall Gold Yellow colored. Flowers , not eaftly 
olferved , becaufc they fall away Jo foon , that 
they are feldom feen. After they are paft , there 
appear in their places , round heads , in which a 
Saxifrage Golden. 
contained fmall round reddifh Seed. The whole 
Riant is almojl infipid , or without Tafle , and no- 
thing hot , which does not few any property it hat 
to operate upon the Stone or Gravel , either to
