'the Descriptions. 
III. The firft, or our Common Purple Meadow 
Trefoil, or Meadow Honey-Suckles. It has e long 
/lender and fibrous or Jlringy Root, which fpreads 
much, and Mures long. It has many Leaves ri- 
fing from the f. aid Root, three fet together upon a 
pretty long Footflalk , and each oj them a /moft rounds 
among which rifles up fmall Stalks oj flowers , not 
much higher than /he heaves , bearing many deep 
Purplijb Crimfon Flowers together in a Tuft , rifling 
l mailer up to the top , which turn into little Cods 
Trefoil Purple Meadow, 
Common. 
i oi/b fmall Seed in them : Sometimes this is found 
with half round Spots of white in the Leaves. 
IV. Gerard Defcribes it thus. Its Root is long . , 
woody , and grows deep. It brings forth Stalks a 
Cubit long , round, and fometbing hairy , the great- 
er part of which creeps upon the Ground ■, on which 
grow Leaves conf fling of three joined together , 
one j landing a little from another \ of which 
thofe which are next the Ground and the Roots , 
are rounder •, but thofe growing on the tipper part 
of the Stalks , having for the moft part in their 
middle , a white Spot like a Half - Moon. The 
Flowers grow at the tops of the Stalks in a Tuft , 
or in a fmall Fox-Tail Ear , of a purple Color , 
and fwcet Tafle ; after which comes the Grain 
or Seed , round and blackijh , in little Husks. 
V. The fecond, or our common white Meadow 
Trefoil. This differs little , or almofl nothing 
from the former , faving in the colour of the 
Flowers \ for as thofe are of a bright Purple , 
contrariwife , thefe are very white. The Leaves 
and Flowers , and indeed the whole Plant , being 
fometbing lefs than that ^ yet this is fometimes 
found with longer Leaves , tbo* the Heads them - 
f elves are lejs. There is alfo another fort , 
whofe Leaves are all longer than the firfi , and 
pretty Jharp pointed withal , whofe Flowers are 
of a very pale Red or Purple ; of which kind , 
the Leaves are fometimes f potted with black 
Spots ;
