Long leaned C iidwred. 
like Gnafhalium Anglicum , but fomevvliat 
broader. At the top of the ftalke groweth 
a floure ofa blackitTi brown violet colour, 
befet about with rough and woolly hairie 
Ieaues, which make the whole floure to re- 
ferable the rough haired foot ofa Lyon, of 
a Hare, or a Beare, or rather in mine opini- 
onofa rough footed Doue. The heads of 
thefe floures when they are fpred abroad 
carry a greater circumference than is re- 
quired in fo fmall a plant -and when the 
floure is faded, the feed is wrapped in fuch 
a deale of wooll that it is fcarfely to be 
found out.
