i 3. Hyffopus montana. Mountaine wilde Hyiope. 
Mountaine or wilde Hyiope is very like unto the garden kinde,ior the manner of growingrbut that the leave* 
which are not fo many at a joynt,are fomwhat harder and rougher,and a little hairie,and fomwhat narrower alio, 
which (as Matthiolm faith) being brought into gardens,and there cherilhed^will by time put off that roughneffe* 
and become more milde and gentle, the tafte whereof is much more bitter, and nothing fo hot or fweete as the 
common kinde:the flowers and feedes are like the garden fort, both for forme and colour. 
14. Hyffopus angufti folia (fie at a. Narrow leafed Hyfope. 
Narrow leafed Hyfope is a fine kinde,and hath many (lender hard ftalkesywhereon are fet at diftances,as in the 
common Hyfope,many fmall greene leaves, but longer and nar¬ 
rower than'they, and ending in a longer point: the flowers like- 1 f-^yJPtp^folijs Origan*. 14 Hyjfopui auguflijolti fpicatu

lour like the ordinary kinde, but much fmaller and fo is the leede 
alfo : the branches hereof will take roote and grow being laid in¬ 
to the ground, rhe roote fpreading much in the earth, 
J 5 • Hyffcpu* foHjsorijram. Round leafed Hyfope. 
This Hyiope hath divers hard woody ftalkes, whereon grow 4 
fundry -fmall and almoft round leaves, one againft another, but - 
pointed at the endes, the heads or fpikes of flowers are like un~ : 
to the common fort,ofa blewifh purple colourjthe lent alfo diffe-, 
rcth little from it. 
Gerard hath fet forth an Hyfope with the leaves of Nummula- 
ru.CMonyrvonr, which peradventure might bee this kinde, yet I 
never faw fuch an one with him. 7 
'The Place. 
Pena faith that our common Hyfope, growethon tine hills of- 
RcmaHia about Verona ,and neere unto Mount Raidas : the dwarfe 
kmde in Spabe x and the mountaine wilde kind, on the hils in ma¬ 
ny places of Germany, and as Matthiolm faith,on the hill Salvatin, 
in the Country of Gorina : the reft, with thefe' alfo when they 
may be gotten, are nourfedup in the gardens of the curious. 
The Time. 
They doe all flower in the fummer moneths of June and July. 
and their feede is ripe in the beginning or middle of Au cruft.
