3 This is bigger than either of the two former, hailing whiter and more flexible branches, 
whofebarkeisvnmeafurably tough and hard to breake : the vpper branches are many, and thofe ve- 
ry downic.and hanging downe their heads, fet thicke with little leaues like S tone-crop, and of the 
like hot or burning facultie: the floures are like thofe of the former; fotnerimes green lfh , other- 
whiles yellow: did not obferue thefruit,butlaith,it floured at the fame time with the for- 
mer,and grew in all the fea coaft,from the Straits of Gibralter,to the Pyrenrean mountaines. ^il- 
fonfus Pantius called this Cneoron : hold and Tabcrnamontamis call it Erica Alexandrian.

4 This alfo may not vnfitly bee ioined to the former, for it hath many tender flexible tough 
branches commonly leaning or lyingalongvpon the ground,vponwhichwithoiitordergrow leaues 
greeene,skinny,and like thofeof the true ThymeUa-, at firft of an vngratefulfand afrerwards of a bit- 
ter tafte, yet hauing none or very little acrimony (as far as may be perceiued by their tafte: ) the 
floures grow vpon the tops of the branches fix feuen or more together, con lifting of foure little 
leaues of a reddifh purple colour, very beautifull and well fmelling,yet offending the head if they 
be long fmcltvnto : thefe arefucceededby fmall berries,of colour white, containing a round feed, 
couered with an afh coloured skin. The root is long, of the thickenefle of ones little finger, fome- 
times blackifh, yet moft commonly yellowifh, tough, and fmallcft atthe top where the branches 
come forth. It floures in Aprill and May, and ripens the fruit in Iune : it floures fometimes thrice 
in theyeare,and ripens the fruit twife-,for Clujim affirmes that twife in one yearc he gathered ripe 
berries from one and the fame plant.lt growes plentifully vpon the mountainous places of Auftria 
about Vienna ; whither the countrey women bring the floures to the market in great plenty to fell 
them todeckvphoufes : it grows alfo in the dry medowesby Frankfordon the Mrene, where there 
is obferued avariety with white floures. Matthiolus would haue this tobe the Cneoron album of Theo-
