The Dcfcription. 
IN the Chapter of Zedoariefwhich I made the 2 8. of the firff bookc) I might fitly hanc fouen you 
■•■this hiftorieof Gedwar, which is thought to be that deferibed bv Auici-n,lib.i, and a kinde 
ofZedoarie: Garcias faith.Gcdwar isata high rate, and not eafily to be found, vnleile with the In- 
dian Mountibanks and juglers, which they call Iorna, which goevp and downe the countrey like 
Rogues, and of thefe the Kings and Noblemen buy Geidnar:\i is good for many things, but ebiefely 
again if poifons,and the bites and Rings ofvenomous creatures. Now C In Fas in Ins Auharium at the 
end thereof giues this figure, with the following hiliotie. 
1 . Becaufe Garcias, faith he/gp.42./. 1 .Ar om.it um hifi. treating of Zec'oaric writes, that An; ecu 
calls it Gedwar ; and faith that it is of the magnitude of an Acorne, and almoft of the fame fhape 
I in my notes at the end of that chapter affirmed that it was not knowne in Europe, and hard robe 
knowne.dutin the yeare 1 60^, loin Pom fent me from Verona together with other things two roots 
written on by the name of Gedwar verum. They were not muchvnlikea longifh Acorne, or (that 
I may more truly compare them)the fmaller bulbs ofan Afphodi!,or Anthora the oneofthem was 
whole and not perifhed: the other rottenandbroken,yetboth of them very hard and follid ofan 
afh colour without, but yellow ilhwithin,which rafted, feemed to poffeffe a heating facultieand 
acrimonie. & 
But although I can affirm nothing of certaintie of this root, yet I made the figure of the wholler 
of them to be expreftm a table, that fo the forme might be concerned in ones minde more eafily 
than by a naked defcription.Let the Studious thanke Pona for the knowledge hereof. Thus much 
Cluflus.

at that time this figure otLobel, which prefents to yourview both the long and the round with the 
manner how they grow together, being not feuerall roots, but parts ef one and the fame. ’
