The Place. 
It is found by ponds tides ill moiftand dan. 
kifh places, in ditches alfo, hailing, in them 
Handing waters, and oftentimes by old ftockes 
of Alder trees. 
t I haue not as yet obferued this plant 
growing wilde with vs. t

5| The Nature. 
The fl ops of the Low countries haue rr.if- 
callcd it in times pall by the name of Meum^ 
and vied it for the right Mcw,or Spiki elwort. 
The Germaines name it <£)lfc nil l ) '.Valinas 
Corduifiljimchium • diners in the Lcrv Coun- 
tries call it toilht CEppc ;tl at is to lay in La- 
tine, or wilde Patfleyiand feme, 
toatet Cppc : that is, Ilydicfihncr,. or upturn 
<jy»d/;/f,watcr Parfley : and oftentimes is it na- 
med, as we haue already written, I.lfofclimm, 
and Sium. It may be more rightly termed in 
Latwe,^Ap/iim fylucjire, and in Englifh, wilde 
Parfley. 
D io fc crides hath made mention of wilde 
Parfley in the chapterof Dcuttu or wilde Car- 
rot : and Thaiyhiojlus in his Iticnih bocke. 
where he maketh theParfleycs to differ both 
in Jeauesand ftalkes,ard fheweth that feme 
haue white (hikes, others purple, or elfeoffundry colours, and that there is alfoa certaine wilde 
Parfley ; tor he faith that tl ofe which haue the purple (hikes, and the (hikes of diuers colours, 
come neereft of all to the wilde Parfley. And therefore feeing that Oljcniehkm, or wilde Parfley, 
hath the lower part oftheftalke of a purplilh colour, and like inleaues to Parfley, which in times 
part we thought good rather to call Apiurn [yluejlre, or wilde Parfley, than roerre w ith the Apothe- 
caries, and to cake it for Mew. And after when we now know that it was held to he 7 hyjfelinm Pit . 
«y,and that we could alledge nothing to the contrary, we alfo fetlcd our felues to be of their opini- 
on ; and the rather, bccaufe the faculties are agreeable. Thyffelium, faith Pi my , lib. 25. chapter 1 r. 
is not vnlike to Parfley : the root hereof purgeth flegme out of thehcad ; which thing alfo the 
rootof olfcmchutm d oth effcdhially pcrfo'me, as we will forthwith declare. The name alfo is 
agreeable, for it feemeth to be called wv».r, becaufe it extendethit felfe, in Grceke, sv'«w>tharow 
Men, or mariflr places. 
51 The Temperature. 
The root hereof is hot and dry in the third degree. 
T he vertues. 
The root being chevved,bringeth by the mouth ftegmeout of the head, and is a remedy for the 
tooth-ach,and there is nodoubt but that italfomakes thin,cutteth and openetb,proeoketh vrine, 
and bringeth downe the floures, and doth likewife nok/Tebut more effedlually performe thofe 
things that the reft of the Parfleyes do.

5 [ TheTefcription. 
I npHefirftkindeofbaftard Parfley is a rough hairy hetbe, not much vnlike to Carrots : 
theleauesare like to thofe of Corianders, but parted into many fmall jagges :atthe 
top of the branches do grow fhadowic vmbels, orfpokie rundles, confiftingof many fimfl.whitc 
floures :
