2 The fmall Hawke-weed, which of moft writers hath been taken for yellow Diuels-bit hath 
long leaues deepely cut about the edges, with fome fharpe roughneffe thereon like vnto Sow-thi- 
.ftle. The ftalkes and floures are like the former : the root is compad of many fmall ftrinns with a 
fmall knob, or as it were the ftumpe of an old root in themiddle of thofe firings, cut or bitten off- 
whereupon it tooke his name Diuels bit. ° * 
3 Blacke flawke-weed hath very many long iagged leaues, not much vnlike to thofe of Bucks 
home, fpred flat and farre abroad vpon the ground, which the pi&ure cannot expreffe as is requi- 
fite, in fo little roome: among which rife vp many ftalkes {lender and weake,the floures growing 
at the top yellow and very double : it hath alfo a threddy root. 
t Our Author formerly gaue three figures, and fo many defcriptions of this fmall Hieracittm, 
which I haue contra&ed into two ; for the onelydifference that I can finde is, that the one hath the 
Toot as it were bitten off, w ith the leaues lefle cut in • the other hath a root fomewhat longer, and 
fibrous as the former - the leaues alfo in this are much more finely and deeoe cut irj : in other re-» 
fpeds there is no difference, f

Blacke Hawke-weed. • Succory Hawke-weed. 
4 Succory Hawke-weed hath many long and large leaues fpred vpon the ground, deepely cut 
on bom fides almoft to the middle rib ; from which rife vp fmall ftalkes and floures like thofe of 
the lefle Dandelion, but lefler. The root con fifteth of many fmall threddy firings. 
5 Endiue Hawke-weed hath many broad leaues, indented about the edges very like vnto Gar- 
den Endiue, but narrower ; among which rife vp ftalkes a foot or more high, {lender, hairy,and brit- 
tle .the floures are yellow, and grow at the top double, and thick fet in a fcaly huske like the Knap- 
Weed or Iacea, hailing great thicke and threddy roots. X This hath a ftalke fometimes more, and 
otheru hdcs lefle rough, with the leaues fomtimes more cut in, more long and narrow, and againe 
otherivhiles more fhort and broad. % 
_ Long rooted Hawk-weed hath many broad leaues fpread vpon the ground, fleightly & con- 
fufedly indented about the edges, with fomewhat a bluntifh point ; among which leaues fpring vp 
f ; rong and totigh fta! ks a foot and halfe high, fet on the top with faire double yellow floures much 
like vnto a Pifle-abed. The root is very long, white and tough. 
7 Sharpe Hawk-weed hath leaues like thofe of Languebeefe or Ox-tongue, but much narro- 
Wei ,fharpe about the edges, and rough in the middle : the ftalks be long and flender , fet with the
