•[ 7 he Defcripticn., 
B Oth thefe as alfo fome other woods are referred to the AJpaUthuo defcribed by DioficridesJ. C 
c. 19 .But the later ofthefe I take to be the better of the two forts there mentioned. The firft of 
them is whitifh without,hauingayellowifh or citrine coloured round in the middle .-the tafte 
is hottifh,and fmell fomewhat like that of a white-Rofe. 
The other hath alfo a fmall ring of white,next the thicke and rugged barke, and the inner wood 
is'of a reddifh colour,very denfe ; follid and firme,as alfo indifferent heauy : the fmell of this is alfo 
like that of a Rofe, whence they vulgarly call it Lignum Rhodium , Rofe-wood, rather than from 
Rhodes the place where the later of them isfaidtogrow. 
The Faculties out of Diofcorides. 
It hath a heating facultie with aftridtion, whence the decoction thereof made in wine is conue- yt 
nient to wafh the vlters of the mouth,and the eating vlcers of the priuitics and fuch vnelean fores 
as the O^ana ( a (linking vlcer in the nofe fo called.) 
Put vp in a peffane it drawes forth the childe,the decodtion thereof ft ayes the loofeneffe of the ^ 
belly, and drunke it helpes the calling vp ofbloud,the difficultie of making water, and windinelfe. 
A T the end of this Appendix I haue thought good to giue you diuers deferiptions of 
Plants,which I receiued from my often mentioned friend M r . Goodycrjvhich alfo were omit- 
ted in their fitting places, partly through hade, and partly, for that I receiued fome of them af- 
ter the printing of thofe chapters wherein of right they fhould haue been inferred . They are mod 
of them of rare and not written of plants, wherefore more gratefull to the curious. 
Hieracium Jlellatum Boelij. 
T His plant is in round,hairy,ftraked,branched ftalks,and long, rough, blunt indented leaues like 
to Hieracium falcatum, but fcarce a foot high ; the flouresare alfo yellow three times fmaller: 
which paft,there fuccecd long crooked (lender fharpe pointed cods or huskes, neere an inch long, 
fpreadingabroad,ftar-fa(hion, wherein a long feed is contained:this hath no heads orwoolly down 
like any of the reft, but onely the faid crooked coddes which doe at the firft fpread abroad. The 
root is fmall, threddie, full of milkie iuice,as is alfo the whole plant and it perifheth when the feed 
is ripe. 
Hieracium medio nigrum fiore maiore BoeHj. 
This hath at the firft fpreadingvpon the ground many long, narrow, green, fmooth leaues blunt- 
ly indented about the edges, like thofe of Hieracium falcattim^ but fmaller : amongft which rife vp 
three, foure, or more, (mall, fmooth, ftraked round (talks, diuided into other branches,which grow 
longer than the (talks themfelues leaning or trayling neere the groundrthe fioures grow on the tops 
of the (talks, but one together, compofed of many pale yellow leaues, the middle of each floure be- 
ing of a blackilh purple colour. 
Hieracium medio nigrum flore minor e Boelij . 
This is altogether like the lad before defcribed inftalkes and leaues : the fioures are alfo of a 
blackifh purple in themiddle,but they are three times fmaller. 
Hieracium lanofum 
There groweth from one root three, foure or more round vpright foft cottonie ftalks,of a reafo- 
nable bigne(fe,two foot high.diuided into many branches, efpecially neere the top, whereon grow ■ 
eth ac each diuilion one broad fharpe pointed leafe,diuided into corners, and very much crumpled, 
and alfo very foft cottonie and woolly, as is the whole plant : the fioures are fmall, double, ofa pale 
yellow colour, very like thofe ofF/Zr/Art/vw, growing cluttering very many together at the tops 
of the ftalkes and branches, forth of fmall round foft cottonie heads : thefe foure plants grew from
