3 Carolus C lupus fetteth forth in the booke of his Pannonicke trauels two kindes more, which 
he hath found in his trauell oner the Alpes and other mountaines of Germanie and Heluetia , be- 
ing the third in number, according to my computation : it hath leaues like the former, but ’lon- 
ger, fmalier, and narrower toward the bottome,greene aboue, and ofa palecoIourvnderneath.The 
floures are in fafhion like to the former, but ofa mod fhining red colour within, and on the outfide 
of the colour of a mulberry : the middle or eye of the floure is ofa whitifh pale colour : the root is 
like the former. 
4 The fourth is a fmalier plant than any of the forefaid, whofe leaues are thicke and fat , no- 
thing at all f nipt about the edges, greene aboue, and grayifh vnderneath. The floures are like the 
former, fhining about the edges, ofanouerworne colour toward the middle, and in the middle 
commeth a forke couered with an hairineffe : the root is blacke and threddy.
