5 The fifth kinkeof Cinkefoile groweth vpon the cold mountaines of Sauoy,and in the 
vallie of Auftenfie, and in Narbone in Trance, and (if my memory failenot) I haue feen the fame 
; growing vpon Beefton caftlein Che(hire:the leaues hereof are few, and thinne fet,confiftin°- of 
hue parts like theothcr Cinkcfoiles, oftentimes fix or feuen fet vpon one foot-ftalke, not fnipt 
i about the edges as the other, but plaine and frnooth; the leafe is ofa fliining white filuer colour 
very foft and fliining : the floures grow like ftarres,vpon (lender ftalkes by tufts and bunches ofa’ 
white colour, and fometimes purple, in fafhion like the floures of Alchimilta, or Ladies mantle' 
the root is thicke and full of ftrings, and ofa browne purple colour.

of three feuerall plaits, that is, Cinkefoile, Tormentill, and Siluer-weed,for it harlPthe vpper 
leaues, the yellow floures, creeping branches, and root of Cinkefoile, but the lower leaues are of 
adarkegreene, and grow many vpon one middle rib likethofe of Siluer-weed . the fruit is like
