many pale yellow Flowers in green Husks , much 
like to Groundfel, which quickly fade in like man- 
ner, turning into Down , which with the ' Seed is 
carried away with the Wind. This Plant has a 
prong ill Smell , which is yet more in the hotter 
times oj the Tear , from whence came the Epithite , 
l ; cetidum. 
VIII. The fixrhPRr Wart Succory. Its Root is 
fmall and flringy. dying every Tear after Seed 
time , and never abiding a Winter , unlefs it fprings 
up from the Seed in Autumn. It fprings up , and 
fpreads out fever al long , and fomewhat hairy green 
Leaves next the Ground , cut or divided on the 
edges into deep Dents , but not deep Gafhes , fome- 
t hi rig refembling Succory Leaves. The Stalks are 
Jl raked, and divide themfelves into fome Icfj'er 
Branches , with a fmall long Leaf at every Joint 
broad below , and encompajfing it at bottom. The 
Flowers grow fever ally at the Tops and upper 
'joints of the Branches , upon fhort Foot ft a Iks, be- 
ing Jot all and yellow, compofcd if many fmall yel- 
low Leaves, broad pointed , and nickt in, which 
turn not into Down as the former forts do • but 
into fmall round and flat hard Heads , parted at 
the Brims into fever a! Bunches or Knobs, like unto 
Warts, with a little Tujt or Crown in the middle 
in each Knob or Wart whereof, is contained a Ker- 
nel or Seed. 
IX. The feventh, or Swines Succory. It has a 
fmall and long Root , Jrom whence fpring forth fe- 
ver al long and rough Leaves lying on the Ground , 
fmaller at the bottom , and broader towards their 
Swines Succory. 
enjs unevenly tamed or dented on the edges. The 
St dlls are dhuic rough , J. lender and bare of Leaves 
ff renting out into Jeveral long Stalks , about 6 or 
B Inches high , bearing every one a large yellow 
Mower, like unto Hawkweed. This Plant Park- 
infon will have to be a Species of the Hawkweeds, 
but Gerald and Johnfon, account it among the num- 
ber of the Succories. There is another of tbr. 
Jot l, wboje Leaves are Jmooth and narrower, dif- 
fering but lut/e m any thing elfe. 
X. The Places. The hill, fecond and fourth 
are many times found in our Meadows and other 
mtnit Grounds. The fifth is often found in Sundv 
Grounds and hy V.' cods and Hedge fides. The 
i tie third Columna found growing on Hills in rhe 
Kingdom of Apples ; and the fixth is faid to grow 
! n , Zacyntha , from which places they 
have been brought to us, and are nurft up in our 
Gardens. The feventh growsabroad in the Fields 
oK Eng/Ilf Grounds and Lanes in ^rs places 
XL The Times. They all Flower and Seed a- 
bout the fame rime with the other Succories • ex- 
the reft feC ° nii ’ Flowers earlier than all 
^e Qualities, Specif cation. Preparations 
and Virtues ot thefe, are the fame with thofe of 
our Common Suuhry, to which you are referred, 
lhis is alfo to be noted, that in Naples and other 
parts of 1 / a/r, the Neapolitan kind is ufed inftead 
of the True Succory, it being very like to it in 
its form. 
Xlll The II art Succory. Authors fay it is ve- 
ry good for the Curing or taking away ot Warts. 
And this they lay it does, by eating the Herb as a 
Sailer ; or by taking at Bed-time a Dram of the 
Seed m ! order in White-Wine, for certain Days 
together ; lo alfo the Ponder of the Leaves given 
to a Dram 111 che fame manner. Burl think there 
isnot inuch in all this; if there beany Virtue of 
Ihis Kind in this Plant, it will be bed manifefted 
and mottly exert its power in that kind, bv an 
external Application to the parts affeOed, after 
mis manner. Take the expreffed Juice of the 
riant , and hearitalmollfcalding hot, with which 
barn the nans ^ or 4 times a day or ofener, let- 
ting it dry in after every time of Bathing; and 
continue this lb long till the Warts arewalled away. 
Hus lays Pena, will certainly extirpate them, as 
he and divers others had found by Experience. 
I he laid Juice being taken in Wine, is faid to be 
helpful alio againlt the biting of mad Dogs.
