T Here be fundry forts of plants comprehended vnder the title of Cichoracea, that is to fay Ci- 
chorie,Endiue,Dandelion, &c. differing not fo much in operation and working, as infhape 
and forme, which hath caufed many to deeme them diuers, who haue diftinguifhed them vnder 
the titles aforcfaichof euery which kinde there be diuers forts, the which fhall be diuided in their 
leuerall chapters, wherein the differences fhall be expreft. 
The Defer/ ft ion. 
i Arden Succory is of two forts,one with b road leaues, and the other with narrow,dcep- 
lr ly cut and gafhed on both Tides. The firft hath broad leaues fomewhat hairie,not 
much vnlike to Endiue, but narrower ; amongft which doe rifevp ftalkes, whereon 
are placed the like leaues, but fmaller. The ftalke diuideth it felfe toward the top into many 
branches, whereon doe grow little blew floures confiding of many fmall leaues, afterwhich fol- 
loweth white feed. The root is tough, long, and white of colour, continuing many yeeres ; from 
the which as from euery part of the plant doth iffwe forth bitter ar.d milkie juice. The whole 
plant is of a bitter tafte likewife.

others blew.as 1 haue laid. 
3 Garden Endiue bringeth forth long leaues, broad, fmootb, more greene than white, likeal- 
moft to thofe of lettuce,fomething nicked in the edges. The ftalke grovveth vp among the leaues, 
being round and hollow,diuided into branches ; out of which being broken or cut there iffueth a 
juice like milke, fomewhat bitter : the floures vpon the b ranches confiff of many leaues, in colour
