f i A Efwthium album hath ftraight and vpright ftalkes, afoot high, befct with broad 
leaues, but very deeply cut orclouen.in fhewlikevnto thofeofthe great Daify but 
white of colour : at the top of the ftalkes, out of fcaly heads, as in an vmbell grow 
fioureSjCompaa of fix fmall white leaues : the root is long, with fome fibres annexed vnto it. 
2 This kinde of Wormwood Gcfner and that learned Apothecarie Vderandus Benraz, called 
Ahfinthium Egipttum: the leaues of this plant are very like to the leaues of Trichomanes, which is 
our common Maiden haire, of a white colour, euery fmall leafe Handing one oppofite againfta- 
nother, and of a ftrong fauour. 5 . v 8 
3 This VVormivood,which Do demons calleth Ahfinthium inodorum^ and Infpidum^ is very like 
vnto the fea Wormwood, in his fmall and tender leaues: the ftalkebeareth flowers alfo like vnto 
the forefaid Sea-Wormwood, but it is ofa fad or deep colour, hailing neither bitter tafte, nor any 
fauour at alI 5 whereupon it was called, and that very fitly ,Ahfmthium mderumjx ahfinthium inf, pi 
dum : in Englifh,foolifh,or vnfauory wormwood. * Dodon&us faith not that his Ahfinthium in/fpi- 
dum is like the lea wormwood, but that it is very like our common broad leaued Wormwood and 
fo indeed it is, and that fo like, that it is hard to be difeerned therefrom, but onely by the want of 
bitternefieand fmell. $
