Rough Honie-woort, 
of leaues,btanches,& much iuice.the whole 
plant is furcharged with ; vpon which bran- 
ches are placed many thicke rough leaues, 
let with very fharpe prickles like the rough 
skinne ofa Thornebacke, ofa blewifh green 
colour, fpotted very notably with white 
ftrakes and fpots, like thofe leaues of the 
true Pulmonori a or Cowflips of Ierufalem, 
and in lhape like thofe of the codded Tho- 
row-waxe, which leaues do clip or embrace 
the ftalkes round about : from the bofome 
whereof come forth fmall clufters ofyellow 
floures,with a hoope or band of bright pur- 
pile roundabout the middle of the yellow 
floure. The floure is hollow, fafhioncd like 
a little boxe, of the tafteofhoniewhenitis 
fucked, in the hollowneffe whereof are many 
fmal chines or thredsjwhich being paft,ther 
fucceed round blacke feed,contained in foft 
skinnic husks. The root perifhethat the firft 
approch of Winter. $ This varies m the co- 
lour of the floures, which are yellow, or pur- 
ple,and fometimes of both commixt, $

wort(of Cluf. defeription) are (Taped like 
thofe laft deferibed, but that they are nar- 
rower at their fetting on, and rougher; the 
floures are alfo yellow of color ,but in (Tape 
& magnitude like the former, as it is alfo in 
the feeds, & all the other parts thereof, t
