i 4 This in the opinion of Honorius 
Eel/uf,Clufiut, afld Pena, is thought, and not 
without good reafon,to be the tr ueThymbra, 
or SatureiaotDiofcondes and the Antients,for 
(befides that it agreeswith their defeription, 
it is to this day called in Candie svef,*< and 
Clujim deferibes it thusTt fends forth 
many branches immediately from the roote 
likeas Tymc,and thofe quadrangular, rough , 
nnd ofa purplifh colour : vpon thefe growe 
alternately little roughifh leaues much like 
thofe of the true Tyme • and out of their bo- 
lomes come little branches fet with the like, 
but leffer leaues. The toppes of the branches’ 
are compaffed with a rundle made of manic 
little leaues, whereout come floures ofa fine 
purple colour, and like the floures of Tymc, 
beeingdiuided intofoure parts, whereof the 
lower is the broader, and hangs dovvne : The 
vpper is alfo broad but fhorter, and the other 
two leffe. Outof the middle of the fioure 
come flue whitifih threds , pointed with 
browne,and a forked ftile. The feed is fmall 
and blacke like that of Tyme. The root hard 
and wooddie. It floured with C/ufius(\vhcj re-
