i Water Milfoile, or water Yarrow hath long and large leaues deepely cut with many diuifi- 
(1 ons like Fennell, but fmelier iagged, fwimming vpon die water. The root is fingle , loirs', and 
l>; round, which brings vp a right ftraight and {lender llalke, fetinfutidry places with the like leaues 
n butfinaller. The floures grow at the top of the ftalke tuft fafhion, and like vnto the land Yarrow! 
■ | 3 This water Milfoile differeth from all the kindesaforefaid,hauing a root in the bottom of 
d the water, made of many hairy firings, which yeeldeth vp a naked {lender ftalke within the water 
tl and the reft of the ftalke which floteth vpon the water diuideth it felfe into fundry other branches 
ti and wings, whioharebedafht with fine fmall iagged leaues like vnto Cammdmill, or rather re- 
1 fembling hairy taflels or fringe, than leaues. From the bofomes whereof come forth fmall and ten- 
der branches, enery branch bearing one floure like vnto water Grow-foor, white ofcolour, with a 
i little yellow in the midft: the whole plant refembleth water Crdvv-foot in all things fane in the 
broad leaues. 
f 4 There is another kinde of water violet very like the former, fauing that his leaues are 
tj much longer, fomewhat refembling the leaues of Fennell, fafhioned like vnto wings, and the 
N floures are fomewhat fmaller, yet white,with yellownelfe in their middles, and fhaped like thole 
1 ( of the Iaft defcribed. And the feed alfogrowes like vnto that of the Water Ranunculm , laft de- 
3 fcribcd. 
5 There is alfo another kinde ofwater Milfoile, which hath leaues very like vnto water Vio- 
S let, fmaller, and not fo many in number : the ftalke is fmall and tender, bearing yellow gaping 
r floures fafhioned like a hood or the fmall Snapdragon; which caufed Penn to put vnto his name 
f this additarrient Qnlericulntum, that is, hooded. The roots are fmall and threddy , with fome few 
i i knobs hanging thereat like the founds of fill).
