P a r t IL Of Sea-Plants, 
The SEA-MILFOYLE. Myriophyllum pelagium. f. Muf- 
cus maritimus filicis folio. Chifius hath a Figure fomewhat 
anfwerable to this Title, and out of him Bauhinus. Yet 
either'it is faulty, or of another Species. His, reprefented 
with alternate Branches. Here, they are collateral, as in the 
Male-Firne. And curioully denticulated, in the like man¬ 
ner. It grows in very deep Gulfs of the Sea. 
This Plant hath the fame odd property, with feveral of 
the Sea-Shrubs before dcfcribcd ; which is, that being fired, 
it makes a ftrong ftinking fmoak, like that of burnt Bones, 
Horns, or other partsof Animals. And may therefore be 
defervedly commended by Cortufus againft Worms. And Yis 
probable, all the reft of the ftinking kind, fome of which 
are much more plentiful and eafily procur’d, may have the 
like Virtue. 
The STEM of another Sea-Plant, Perhaps of affinity 
With that in Bauhinus , entitled, Coralloides lent a fx-ni culacea. 
The feveral Sprigs hereof are toothed, as in the Sea-Mil¬ 
foyle , but with finer or fmaller Work. Itftinks, upon burn¬ 
ing, as the former. 
SEA-HEATH. Erica tnarina. Defcribed and figur’d 
in Bauhinus. Who yet omits the coalition of all the 
Branches in a round and plain Bafe. 
SE A-MOSSE, fomewhat like the Sea-Heath. The 
Branches hereof are united in a ftiort Trunk. From whence 
they rife up to the height of three or four inches, and are 
then multipli’d into others. About the thicknefs of a final! 
Rajh , all over lhaggy, with fibrous hairs or bnftles. Hath a 
ftinking fmoak, as the former. 
The BEARDED SE A-MOSSE. A Congeries of tough 
or pliable, yellowilh, capillary Threds or Strings, almoft 
cylindrical, or of the fame thicknefs from the bottom to 
the top 5 where the moftpart of them are as it were horn¬ 
ed or forked. It makes a crackling noife, in burning, and 
{links, but lefs than the Sea-Milfoyle. 
The FISTULAR SEA-MOSSE. Bauhinus defcnbes a 
Sea-Plant (without a Figure) by the Name of Fucus cams, 
but of a quite different kind 5 fc. with the Leaves like a 
Fillet. Whereas this is a Clufter or Brulh of cylindrical, 
pellucid, and ftrait unbranched Pipes, about the thicknefs of 
a great Hitching Needle,
