5 The fifth kinde of Plantaine hath beene 
a ftranger in England and elfewhere, vntill the 
impreffion hereof. Thecaufevvhy I fayfo is, 
the want of confideration of the beauty which 
is in this plant, wherein it excelleth all the 
•Jther. Moreouer, becaufe that it hath not bin 
written of or recorded before this prefent 
time, though plants i of lefler moment haue 
beene very curioufly fet forth. This plant hath 
ldaues like vnto them of the former, and more 
orderly fpred vpon the ground like a Role : a- 
mong which rile vp many fmall ftalks like the 
other plantaines, hailing at the top of euery 
one a fine double Rofe 'altogether vnlike the 
former, ofan hoary orrufty greene colour. 
$ I take this fet forth by our Author to be 
the fame with that which Cluftns receiued 
from James Garret the yonget, from London •, and therefore I giue you the figure thereof in this 
place, together with this addition to the hiftorie out of Clttftm : That fome of the heads are like 
thofe of the former Rofe Plantaine • other fome are fpike fafhion, and fome haue a fpike growing 
as it were out of the midfl ot the Rofe, and fome heads are otherwife fhaped : alfo the whole plant 
is more hoary than the common Rofe Plantaine. 
6 This plantain muft not here be forgot, though itbe fomwhat hard tobe found : his leaues, 
roots, and (hikes are like thofe of the ordinarie,but in Head of a compad fpike it hath one much 
diuided after the manner as you fee it here cxprelfed in the figure, and the colour thereof is gree- 
nifh. $
