*[ The Defcription. 
1 '"P Owers Muftard hath beene taken of fome for a kinde of Creffes, and referred by them 
J. to it : of fome, for one of the Muftards, and fo placed among the Thlafpies as a kinde 
thereof; and therefore my felfemuft needs bellow it fomewherewith others. Thc-re- 
forelhauewithC/xjWand Lobel placed itamong the Thlafpies, as a kinde thereof. It commeth 
out of the ground with many long and large rough leaues, like thofe of Hounds-tongue, cfpecial- 
ly thofe next the ground : amongll which rifeth vp a long ftalke of a cubit or more high, fet abont 
with fharpe pointed leaues like thofe of Woad. The floures grow at the top, if I may terme them 
floures, but they are as it were a little dully chaffe driuen vpon the leaues and branches with the 
winde: after which come very fmall cods, wherein is fmall reddifh feed like that of Cameline or 
Englifh Worm-feed, with a root made of a tuft full of innumerable tbreds or firings.
