* Hungary Muftard bringeth forth {lender ftalkes of one cubit high : the leaues which firft 
appeare are flat, fomewhat round like thofe of the wilde Beet ; but thofe leaues which after doe 
garnifh the ftalkes are long and broad like thofe of the garden Colewort, but lelfer and fofter, 
greene on the vpper fide, and vnder declining to whitenelfe, fuelling like Garlicke. The floures 
be fmall and white, confiding of foure fmall leaues, which in a great tufc orvmbel do grow thick 
thruft together : which being path there follovveth in euery fmall huske one duskifh feed and no 
more, bitter and (harpe in tafte. The root is white and fmall, creeping vnder the ground far abroad' 
like the roots of Couch-grafle ; preparingnew (hoots and branches for the yeare following, con- 
trarie to all the reft of his kinde, which are encreafed by feed, and not otherwife.

fmall, few, fharpe, bitter, and vnfauorie : the whole plant is of a whitifh colour.
