mentioned, but diuided into fundry branches a finger thicke,and fomewhat hairy not red as tiff 
others, but white : the leaues be iong and narrow, vvhitiih, and a little downy : the floures ’re vel 
low, but in other points like to the reft of this kinde. ' 
8 The eighth kinde rifeth vp with one round reddifh ftalke two cubits high fet about with 
long thin and broad leaues like the leaues of the Almond tree .-the floures come forth it the too 
like the others, and of a yellow colour. The feed and root referable the other of his kinde P 
9 The ninth (which is the common kinde growing in moll woods) is like the former but his 
leaues be Sorter and leffe,yet like to the leaues of an Almond tree : the floures are alfo yellow . 
and the feed contained in three cornered feed-veflels. ’ 
* ! ° This fol,rth klnde of Hithymdus C bar arias, or Valley Tithymale (for Co the name im- 
ports) hath Iong, yet lomewhat narrower leaues than the former, whitiih alfo, yet not hoary . the 
vmbels or tufts of floures are of a greenifh yellow, which before they be opened do reprefent the 
ihape of a longifl, fruit as an Almond, yet in colour it is like the reft of the leaues : the floures and 
Icccls die like thole of the iormer, and the root defeends deep - into the ground. 
P r The firth charadas hath alfo long leaues iharpe pointed, and broader at their fettino- on 
and ofa light greene colour, and fnipt or cut about the edges like the teeth of a law. The vmbeb 
are finaller, yet carry fuch floures and feeds as the former, £ 
12 This kinde hath great broad leaues like the yong leaues of Woad, fet round about a ftalk 
of a foot high, in good order: on the top whereof grow the floures in final! platters like the com- 
mon kinde, of a yellow colour declining to purple. Thewholeplant is full of milke, as are all the 
reft before fpecified. t 3 
1 3 There is another kinde of T ithymale, whole figure was taken forth of a Manufcript of the 
Emperors by Dodonaus, that hath a ftalke ofthebignefie ofa mans thigh, growing like a tree vnto 
the height of twb tall men, diuiding it felfe into fundry armes or branches toward the top, ofa red 
colour. The leaues are fmall and tender,much like vnto the leaues of Myrtus : the feed is like vnto 
that of wood T ithymale, or Char arias, according to the authority of Veter Bellone. 
14 1 here is a ldnde of Tithymale called £y»/a;w<!w, which <Jlla,rtims Rttkndus had in great 
T t 3 veneration^
