There is another of the land called cMyofotis Scorpioides repens, like the former : blit the floures 1/1 
are thicker thruft together, and doe not grow all vpon one fide as t he other, and part of the floured 
are blew, and part purple, confufedly mixt together. 
The Place. 
1,2 Thefe Scorpion grafles grow not vvildein England, notwithftanding I hauereceiued 
iecd of the firft from beyond the leas, and haue difperfed them through England, which are 
efteemed of gentlewomen for the beauty and ftfangenefle of the crooked cods refemblin^ C i 
terpillers. ° 
The others doc grow in waters and ftreames, as alfo on dtie and barren bankes. 
The Time. 
The firft floured) from May to the end of Augufbthe others I haue found all the fommer long. 
*[ The Names. 
X i Fain US Cvlnmna iudges this to be the Clymenon of Diofcorides : others call it Scorthides 
and Scorpiotdes bujdeitri folio. ‘ ’ 
2 This is the Scorpioides of t Matthiolus, Nod. Lohell , and others; and I iudge it was this plant 
our Author in this place intended, and not th eScorpioides Lcguminofa of the Aduerfaria for that 
hath not a tevvleaues,but many vpon one rib;and be(idcs,D odonaus , whom in defcriprionsV hifto 
ry our Author chiefely foil owes, deferibes this immediatly after the other : Gmllandinus, Cap, hr 
nus, and Bauhmc nidge it to be the Telcphtum of Diofcorides.
