The Kindcs. 
T He old writers haue fet downe no certaine kinds of Germander, yet we haue thought it good, 
and not without caufe, to intreat of mo forts than haue been obferued of all, diuiding thole 
vnder the title of Ternium from Chamndrjes : although they are both of one kind.but vet differing 
very notably. r

TTHe firft Germander growethlowe, with very many branches lying vpon the ground, 
tough, hard, and wooddie,fpreading it felfc here and there : whereupon are placed frnall 
leaues fnipt about the edges like the teeth of a favv, refembling the ihape of an oken leafe. The 
floures are of a purple colour, very (mail, Handing clofe to the leaues toward the top of the bran- 
ches. The feed is little and blacke.The root ilender and full of firings, creeping, and alwaies fprea- 
ding within the ground, whereby it greatly increafeth. $ This is fometimes found with bigger 
leaues, otherwhiles with lefle ; alfo the floure is fometimes white, and otherwhiles red in the fame 
plant, whence T abernam. gaue two figures, and our Authourtvvo figures and deferiptions, whereof 
I haue omitted the later, and put the two titles into one. f 
2 The fecond Germander rifeth vp with a little flraight ftalk a fpan long, and fometimes lon- 
ger,wooddie and hard like vnto a little fhrub • it is afterwards diuided into very many little frnall 
branches. The leaues are indented afid nicked about the edges, lefTer than the leaues of the former, 
great creeping Germander : the floures likevvife Hand neere to the leaues, and on the vpper parts of 
the fprigs, of colour fometimes purple,and oftentimes tending to blevvneffe : the roote is diuerfly 
difperfedwith many firings.
