throughout al Hungary in great plenty ;and in Auflria,Sc in many other places.The laft as Diofcorides faith,on Mount 
Ida in Phrygia, ana in Meffenta , but of late dayes gathered from fomc of the Hills of Greece and Illyria , that are 
ncarc the Sea,but is chiefly kept in Gardens. 
The Time, 
They all flower in the Summer Moneths of Iune and Iuly, yet fome a little later than others, and their feed is ripe 
in Auguft, or thereabouts. 
The Flames, 
Thefe are called inGrcekc °(idvw a-acreifiOa quod -ryot-em manat vafOf.ua advenerem Jlimulat, as Diofcoridet 
faith : for fignifieth impetu quodamferri quemaimodum in venrremprtmi : becaufeit provoketh to venery. And 
Gaza that tranflated Theophraflus into Latine.tranflateth the word into C/eminalis, from thefruitfulneflc it caufeth 
moftlikely in bearing twinnes, in Latine alfo Horwmwwj. We call it in Englifh Clary , of the Latines Stcarlea, 
or ScUrca, which as Anguillara faith, is fo called of the Ethiopians, and isalwayes taken for our ordinary Garden 
Clary, qttafl Cleere eye. The fuff ordinary Clary is Cluflus his firft kindcof wildC lary : with GMatthiolue, Came¬ 
rariut, Gefiier and others called Sclarea and S clxrea hortenfls, with Label Scarlea ; with Tragus Ga/litricum fativum, 
and with Lugdunenfls and Gerard Galitricttm, Horminum, and Ormimm with Cordns and others: but Ruethus and 
Fuchflus take it to be the Garden Horminum af Diofcorides, which Matthiolus contrarieth, and Dodonaus taketh it 
to be Horminum fylvejlre of Diofcorides, and Dalcchampius upon F liny, Scordmm alttrum Plinq : by Fracaflortus 
Sideritit Heraclea ; of Dodonatts and Durances OrvaU, and is called likewile by fome others Centrum Gath, and 
Matrifalvia. It is taken of fome to be the Scoparia whereof Pliny maketh mention among the Stderitides ,a n d fome 
his TuJJilago altera-, others take it to be Phorbion of Cjalcnar Baccharis of Diofcorides,Sc fome AleFlorolophus of Pliny: 
Pliny as ilhewed you before in the Chapter of Horchonnd,millakcth every where the Grecke woral which 
is Horehound, as if it were parrum Leekes, for here he faith that Clary hath the leaves of Lcekes, recitin^ 
the words of Diofcorides, when as he fhouldhave laid like unto Horehound. The fecondkindc here fet downe, is 
called by Matthiolus Hormixum domeflicum, and by Lacuna, Anguidara, Dodonaus, Lobe!, Cafalpinus, Cafior Du- 
rantes, Lugdunenfis,Cameraritts,Tabermantanns, and Baubinus, Horminum or Horminum fativum, or Horminum 
verum, (although Cjerard againff the authority of fo many worthy and learned Writers faith, they arc deceived 
without (hewing his reafons how,and calleth it wild Clary with purple leaves) in Englifh The true Garden Clary 
of ‘Diofcorides and others. The third is called Horminum Syriacum, both by Camerariut and Baubinus, and was 
brought out of Syria by the name of' Bifarmar or B format, and called alfo Aman by fome, in Englifh Aflirian Clary. 
The fourth is called by Cluftus in his Pannonick obfervations, Horminum fylvejlre latifolium Pannoriscumprimum 
and is his third Horminumfylveflre, in his Hiftory of plants: in Englifh Germany Clary. The fifth is our ordinary 
wild Clary called Oculut Chrifli, and Horminumfylveflre vulgare : ofFuchfus, Cordus, Gcfner, Ltmicerus, Turner 
Label, Camerariut, Lugdunenfls, Cluflus, and others. Gerard his figure of Coins Iovis is the true figure of this wilde 
Clary. Brunfelfius calleth it Salvia agrrflis: and Befler that fet forth the Garden of Eyjlot, Salvia apreflis flare pur¬ 
purea. Tragus and Gefner Salvia fylveftris & vera. It is likely alfo to bee Dodonaus his fourth Orvalafylveflris, 
Cafalpinus laith, it is the common Cjallitricum in Italy. Tabermon'anus calleth it Sclareafylveflris. And fomewould 
make it to be Pimp his AleFlorolophus, and others to be a kindcof Verbenaca reSla, upright Vervaine : and of Bau- 
hinus Horminum pratenfefelijtferratis. The fixth is called by Cluflus Horminum fylveflre q niveo flore and is the 
other fort of his fourth wild kinde in his Hiftory of plants. Gerard his figure of Horminum fylvejlre, is the true fi¬ 
gure of this plant. Tabermontanut cHWth it Sclarea fy/vejlris flore albo, and the great Booke of Fyftetenfls Salvia 
ugreflis flore albo, in Englifh hoary wild Clary with a white flower. Thefevcnth is the fourth fort of the fourth 
kinde of wild Clary by Cluflus, of Baubinus Horminum majusfihjs profundius incifls : in Englifh Italian Clary with 
a red flower. The eight is Cluflus his firft fort of the fourth kind of wild Clary which hee had from S paine by the 
name of Bacchant, and growethat GreencwichiKo. Tabermontanut calleth it S clarea Hifpanica, and Gerard Ga/li- 
trkum altcrum,of Baubinus Horminum fylvefire lavendula floretindflufius faith it is the Sideriti, a Hern:folio of Lug- 
dunenflt, in Englifh wild Clary with ff.ikc flowers. The ninth is the Horminumfylveflre of Matthiolus, Cafalpmus, 
Cafior Dur antes and Lugdunenfls, Tragus, calleth it Salviafylveftris adulteri na, of Label it is called Verbafcum ni¬ 
grum falvifoliunt purpureo flore : and fo alfo of Lugdunenfls, it is Dodonaus his Orvula altera, and Cluflus his fift 
kinde of wilde Clary, whereof there are two forts, the one greater than the other, as is fet downe in the deferipti- 
ons. Bauhinus calleth them Horminum fylvefire falvifolium majut etc minus. The tenth is Cluflus his fixth kindeof 
wilde Clary which he called Horminum mimuflupmum Creticum, and in Englifh Candy Clary. The eleventh is cal¬ 
led by Bauhinm Horminum anguflifohum Uciniatum & folds Scolopendria at CMompeliir. it was as hee laid, fent him 
likewile by the name of Horminum Creticum album. Thetwefthis called by Lobe!, Cluflus, Camerariut, Luedu- 
nenfis, Fyfietenfis,mi Gerard Calm Iovis. Dodonetu calleth it OrvaU tertia. Cafalpinus Melinum, Dalcchampius 
and Lugdunenfls Ga/eopfls lutea, and is Cluflus his fecond wild Clary. Some call it Camphorata, fome Sphacelus, and 
others thinke it to be Stachys Plinij. Bauhinut calleth it Horminum luteum glutinofum. Some others alfo call it Hor¬ 
minum luteum, and Hormimm Trident’mum. The thirteenth is of two forts,the one called <v£thiopis, and the other 
.AEthiopis altera, and by Bauhinut who oncly hath written thereof, cAothiopis laciniatofolio, which 1 have called in 
Latine Sc larea lAFtbiopica laciniata, as I doe the other tAEthiopis five Sclarea lAFthiopica non lacmiata,foi the reafons 
before alleaged : in Englifh Plaine and jagged Ethiopian Clary : The Italians call Garden Clary Sclarea,Sclareggia, 
& Schiaria,miherbadiS. Giovanni, and thereon in Latine if Whr S. Ioannis , and thewhite Clary Horminiotthc 
French call the garden kinde Orvale & toute bonne, and the wilde fort OrvaU Sauvage : the Germanes call the one 
Scarlacfi. and the other wilder S carlacfi: the Dutch Scar ley,mi wild S car ley: in Englifh Clary ,and wild Clary,and 
The Vertues, 
Our garden Clary (as I faid before) that Dodonaus thinketh to be the right wilde Clary of Diofcorides, becaufe it 
is of greater feent and vertue than any ofth; other forts, which are called wild Clary, for Diofcorides faith that 
the wild kind is more efteftuall than the tame or garden kinde) is of moft n-fie in all Cbriftian Countries, I thinke 
for any inw ard caufe, for the true kinde of Diofcorides, and the reft of the wild kindes here fe^Howne are Idle ufed, 
as I thinke, and to lelle effirft ; but the feed thereof chiefly, as well as of our garden Clary, is ufed to be put into the 
eyes-
