Homes doe grow, is fmall and hollow, an handfull high and more,befetwirh many final! fienu sof 
an ouerworne incarnate colour. The root is round like an oliue,of a white colour. 
t The root is not well expreft in the figure, for it IhouJd haue been more vnequall or tuberous

2 The fecond kinde of Wall Penniwoort or Nauelwoort hath broad thicke Ieaues fomewhat 
deepely indented about the edges : and are not fo round as the Ieaues of the former, but fomewhat 
long towards the fetting on/pred vpon the ground in manner of a tuft, fet about the tender ftalke 
like to Sengreene or Houfleeke; among which rifeth vp a tender ftalke whereon do grow th dike 
Ieaues. The Homes Hand on the top confiding of fine fmall leauesof a white colour withred

$ 9 This third kinde hath long thicke narrow Ieaues, very finely fnipt or nickton the ed-

loot high, which Mares at the top thereof vpon three or foure little branches, diners white floures 
confilling of fiueleaues apiece. 
4 The Ieaues of this are long and thicke, yet not fo finely fnipt about the edges, nor fo narrow 
as thofe of the former: the ftalke is a foot high, fet here and therewith fomewhat Ihorter and 
rounder Ieaues than thofe below ; and towards the top thereof, out of the boffomes of thefe Ieaues 
come fundry little foot-ftalkes,bearing on their tops pretty large floures of colour white, and (pot- 
ted with red fpots. Therootesare fmall, and here and there put vp new tufts of leaues,likeas the 
common Houfleeke. |
