2 This other fort of Euonymus grovveth 
to the forme of an hedge tree, of a meane big- 
neife, the trunkeor body whereof is of the 
thicknefle of a mans leg , couered with a 
rough orfeabbed barkeof anouerworn ruflet 
colour. The branches thereof are many, (len- 
der, and very euen, couered with a greene 
barke whiled they be yet young and tender ; 
they are alfo very brittle, withfome pith in 
the middle like that of the Elder. The leaues 
are few in number, full of nerues or finues di- 
_ (perfed like thofc of Plantaine, in (hape like 
thofeof the Pomecitron tree, of a lothfome 
fmell and bitter tafte : amongfl: which come 
forth (lender footftalks very long and naked, 
whereon do grow fmall floures confiding of 
fourefmall leaues like thofe of the Cherrie 
tree, but lefler, ofa white colour tending to a 
blufh, with Come yellownefle in the middle : 
after commeth the fruit, which is larger than 
the former, and as it were winged, parted 
commonly into fotire,yet fomtimes inro fine 
parts; and opening when it is ripe, it fheweth 
the white graines filled with a yellow pulpe. 
The root is tough and wooddy, difperfing it 
felfe farre abroad vnder the vpper crutt of the 
earth.
