the floures and feed ; for the flonres of this 
are final], grow thick together, & are of a whi- 
tifh blufh colour .-after which follow heads 
made of little bladders or thinne skins , after 
fuch a manner as they refemblea Strawberrie 
or Rafpas,and they are of a grayifh colour, 
here and there marked with red the ftalkes

hath fet it forth by the name of Trifolium fra-

folium v eft car ium, Bladder Trefoile. 
r 5 There are two other Trefoiles with 
which I thinke good to acquaint you, and 
thofe by thefimilitude of the cups, which 
containe the floures, and become the feed vef- 
fels,may be fitly called Stellata-^nd thus Bau- 
hine calls the firft Trifolium fell at um • whereto 
for d i If i net ions fake I adde hirfrttum, calling 
it Tnfol. ftelUtum birfutum. Rough flarrie hea- 
ded Trefoile : it hath a final long white root, 
from which arife ftalkes fome foot high, 
round, Render, hairie, and reddifh , hauing 
few leaues or branches : the Jeaues ftand three 
on a (talkers in other Trefoiles, finooth on 
the vpper fide, and hairy belovyir-the floures 
are fmalland red, like in lhape to thole of the 
common red Trefoile, but leffer ; and they 
ftand each of them inatup reddifh and rough 
below, and on the vpper part cut into flue long fharpe leaues (landing open as they commonly fi- 
gure a ftarre: the floures fallen, thefe cups.dilate themfelues,and haue in the middle a longifh

fomewhat longifh, hauing two little ftiarpe pointed leaues growing at the fetting onof the foot- 
ftalkes to the ftalkes: they are greenco r colour, and not fniptaboutthe edges. The heads that 
grow on the tons of the ftalkes are round, fhort, and greene,with fmall purple or elfe whitifh 
floures like i hole of the common Tre%!e,but leffer, Handing in cups diuided into fine parts, - 
which when the flo ires are fal’-n become fomewhat bigger, harfher,and more prickly, but open
