J great bulla out of the ground, like the leaues of the Peach tree : among which rifeth 
vp a ftalke two cubits high : alongft the ftalke grow many floures like bells, fomtime 
white, and for the moft part of a faire blew colour ; but the bells are nothing fo deepe as they of 
the other kindes ^ and thefe alfo are more dilated or fpred abroad than any of the reft. The feed is 
fmall like Rampions,and the root a tuft oflaces or fmall firings.
