r v i ^ divers Authors doe account this hearbe a Mullein, and fo doe number it among the kindes thereof, yet 
I thinke it more proper toput it among the Sages: for Label and Pena in their Adverfaria lay, that it is called wilde 
Sage in the Gardens of Italy , France, England, and the Netherlands : and in regard that the leaves and flowers both 
of this, and the precedent doe rather relemble Sage than tJMullcin, this the greater Sage, and the former the lelfer, 
J leeno reafon whythekfhouldbe called Mulleins, or referred unto them rather then unto S'age, feeim none of 
the Mulleins that are properly fo called, have hooded or gaping flowers likeunto Sage,Archangel!, and the like: 
but all of them are compofcd of five leaves,laid open likeunto the Campions, and many other ifuch like flowers. 
J ake therefore the defeription thereof here in this manner. It hath divers fquare wooddy hoary ftalkes, whereon 
grow at leverall fpaers, rugged, hoary, broad, and almoft round pointed leaves, many let together, very like unto 
the great Sage, but greater : the flowers grow likevvife in rundles or lpaces towards the toppes of the ftalkes, very

whole plant fmelleth fomewhatftrong and heady. Co-Wfcttethdowne another fort hereof, whichhce faith is 
more jweet, but I mervaile where he had any relation of another, there being but one fort chat ever I could heare
