4 ; In England (faith Camerarius) there grovves a certainekinde of Lunaria,\vhkh hath many | 
leaues, and fometimes alfo fundry branches ; which therefore I haue caufed to be delineated, that 
other Herbarifts might alfotake notice hereof. Thus much Camerarius, Efit.M at ./>. 644 .where lie :l| 
gines an elegant figure of a varietie hauing more leaues and branches than the ordinary, otherwile :| 
not differing from it. 
3 Befides this varietie there is another kiade fet forth by Clufius ; whole figure and deferipti- 
or.I thinke good here to fet downe. This hath a root confiding of many fibres fomew hat thicker ;| 
than thofe of the common kindc : from which arife one or two winged leaues, that is, many leaues :| 
fet to one ftajke •, and thefc are like the leaues of the other Lunaria, but that they are longer, thic- 1 
ker, and more diuidcd,and ofayellowilhgrcene colour. Amongft thefe leaues there comes vp a 
ftalke fat and juyeie, bearing a greater tuft of floures or feeds (for I know not whether to cal them) 
than the ordinaric, but otherwile very like thereto. It groweth in the mountaines of Silefia,and li 
•j The Pi, ice. 
Herba Paris groweth plentifully in all ! 
thefe places following • that is to fay, in i 
C'halkney wood neere to wakes Coulne, . 
feuen miles from Colchefter in E flex, and I 
in thewood by Robinhoods well,neere to :l

Radvvinter in Eflex, neere to Saffron 1 
W alden in Blackburne at a place called !

Cottingwood in the North of England; ; 
as that excellent painefull and diligent t 
Phyfition Mb Dodtor Turner of late me- 
morie doth record in his Herbal. 
Lunaria or fmall Moone-wort groweth 
vpon dry and barren mountaines and : 
heaths. I haue found it growing in thefe: 
places following •, that is to fay , about f 
Bathe in Somerfetfhire in many places, ; 
especially ata place called Carey, two: 
miles from Bruton, in the next Clofevnto : 
the Church-yard : on Cockes Heath be- ■ 
tvveene Lowfe and Linton, three miles' 
from Maidftone in Kent : it groweth alfo 
in the mines of an old bricke-kilne by , 
Colchefter, in the ground of M r . George 1 
Super, called Miles end: it groweth like- 
wife vpon the fide of Blacke-heath, neere vnto the ftile that leadeth vnto Eltham houfe, about am 
hundred paces from the ftile : alfo in Lancafhire neere vnto a Wood called Faireft, by Latham: 
moreouer, inNottinghamfhireby the Wfeftwood at Gringley,and atWeftonin the Ley field 
by the Weft fide of the towne ; and in the Bifhops field at Yorke, neere vnto Wakefield, in the < 
Clofe where Sir George Saudi his houfe ftandeth, called the Heath Hall,by the relation ofa learned : 
Doftor in Phyficke called Mb lohn CMerJhe of Cambridge, and many other places.
