The Defer! ftiott! 
% i nr His which I here giue you in the fir ft placets alfo the other two, are of the kinds ; 
I of Hawke-weed, or H ter actum wherefore I thought it moll fit to treat of them in i 
this place, and not to handle them with the Pulmonttna maculoft, or Sage of lent- ■ 
falem: wheteas our Author gaue the name Pulmonaria. GaUorum , and pointed at the defeription - , 
but his figure being falfe, and the defcription imperfed,. I iudged it the belt to handle it here ! 
next to thofe plants which both in fliape and qualities it much refembles. This firft hath a pretty ! 
large yet fibrous and ftringy root • from the which arife many longifh leaues, hairy, foft and vne- . 
qually dinided,and commonly cut in thedeepeft neereft the ftalke ; they are ofa darke green co- 
lour, and they are fometi mes broader and (horter, and otherwhiles narrower and longer (whence a 
T abernmonumus makes three forts of this, yet are they nothing but varieties of this Tame plant.) li 
Amongft thefe leaues grow vp one or two naked ftalks, commonly hauing no more than one leafe : 
apiece, and that about the middle of the ftalke ; thefe ftalks are alfo hairy,and about a cubit high , 
diuided at their tops into fundry branches, which beare double yellow floures of an indifferent ' 
bigneffe, which fading and turning into downe, are together with the feed carried away with the ■ 
winde. This whole plant is milky like as the other Hawk-weeds. 
s. This Plant (though confounded by fome with the former) is much different from thelaft 
deferibed ; for the root is fmall and fibrous . the leaues alfo are ftnall, of the bigneffe , and fome- 
whatofthe fliape (though otherwife indented) of Dalle leaues, whitifh and hoarie- the ftalke is 
not aboue an hanftiul! high, crcftcd, hoary, and let with many longifh narrow leaues ■ and at the 1 
top on fhort foot-ftalkes it beares foure or fiue floures of a bright yellow colour, and pretty large, | 
ponfidering ;
