1 r T'' , Odiftinguifhthekindes of Cammotriils with fundry defcriptions would be t ut to 
i enlarge the volume, and fmall profit would thereby redound to the Reader, con fi tie- 
ring they are fo well knowne to all : notwithstanding it fhall not be ami Re to lay 
fomething of them, to keepe the order and method of the booke, hitherto obferued. The com- 
mon Cammoinill hath many weake and feeble branches trailing vpon the ground, ta ingbotJ vp- 
»n the top of the earth, as it runneth, whereby it greatly encreafeth. The leaues afevery fine, and 
much iaggedor deepely cut,ofa ftrongfiveet fmell : among which come forth the fldures like vn- 
to the field Daifie, bordered about theedge witha pale ofwhite leaues: the middle part is yellow, 
compofed of fuch thrums clofe thruft together, as is that of the Daifie. The root is very fmall and 
threddy. 
2 Thefecondkindeof Cninmomill hath leaues, roots, ftalks, and creeping branches like the 
precedent : the floures grow at the tops of fmall tender ftems, which are nothingelfe but fetch yel- 
low thrummie matter as is in the midft of the reft of the Cammomils, without any pale or border 
ofwhite floures, as the others hdue: the whole plant is of a pleafing fiveet fmell ; whereupon fome 
haue giuen it this addition, Oder stum. 
3 This third Cammomil differeth not from the former, failing that the leaues hereof are very 
much doubled with white leaues, infomuch that the yellow thrum in the middle is but little feen, 
and the other very Angle, wherein confifteth the difference, 
5 Chamamdum Anglicumflore multijdici. 
Double floured Cammomill. 
4 Romane Cammomill hath many (lender ftalkes, yet ftitfer and ftronger than arty of the 
others, by reafon whereof it ftandeth more vpright,and doth not creepe vpon the earth as the 
others doe. The leaues are of a more whitifh colour, tending to thecolourof the leaues of 
* Woad. The floures be likewife yellow in the middle, and paled about with a border of fmall 
white floures. 
The Place.
