4 The fourth kinde oiCytiftu hath a great number of fmall branches and ftalkes like the for- 
mer, but it is a lower plant, and more woolly • vvhofe ftalks and branches grow not very hip^h but 
yet very plenti fully fpred about the fides of the plant : the leaucs arc greater than the former ’ but 
Idler than thofe of medovv Trefoile : the floures grow c lofe together, as though they were bound 
vp or compa ft into one head or fpokie tuft fomewhat greater than the former : the cods are alfo 
greater, and more hairy : the root groweth very deepe into the ground, whereunto are adioyned a 
few fibres : it falleth out to be more hairy or woolly in one place than in another,and the more hai- 
rieand woolly that it is, the whiter it waxeth ; for the roughneffe bringeth lfa certain whitifh co- 
lour. + The branches of this oft times lie along vpon the ground.: the leaues are fmooth and 
greene aboue, and hoarie vnderneath : the floures yellow, which hiding fometimes become orans-e 
coloured : thccods arc round, and feeds brownifh. $ 
5 The fifth kinde oiCytifns groweth to theheight of a cubit or more, hailing many (lender 
twiggy branches like Broome, (freaked and very hard : whereupon grow leaues very like Fenu- 
greeke, yet all hoary, three together : from the bofome of which, or betweene the leaues and the 
llalkes, come forth yellow floures very like Broorae,S/wr««i,or Peafe,but fmaller : the cods be like 
vnto Broome cods, o.f an afli colour, but flenderer, tougher, and flatter . in the feueral cels or diuifi- 
ons whereofare contained bright fliining feeds like the blacke feeds of Broome:a!l the whole 
plant is hoarie like Rhimnus or Halymus. 
6 T hefixth kindeofc_y://S»orbu(h Trefoil^ groweth to the height ofa tall man, with long 
ftalkes coucred ouet with a blackifli barke, and a few boughesor branches, befet or garnifhed with 
leaucs like the common Trefoile, but fmaller, growing alfo three together, whereof the middle- 
nio'l of the three leaues is twice as long as the two fide leaues • thevpper fide whereof is green, and 
the lower fide fomwhat veddifh and hairic : the floures grow along t-he ftalks almoft from thebot- 
rome to the top, of a golden yeilo.v colour, fafhioned like the Broome floure,but greater than any 
of the reft of his kinde,-ahdofa reafonable good fanour: the feed hath thepulfie tafte dicker. 
7 The feuenth kinde of Cytifm hath many tough and hairy branches rifing fromawooddie 
toot, (cure or fine cubits high ■, which are diuided into fundry finaller branches befet with leaues 
like the medow Trefoiles ; among which come forth yellow Houres like Broome, that turne into
