7. Cbryfoccme Jive coma aurea & Suchascitrina vulgaris. Golden tufts, or golden Caffidony. 
This golden Caffidony hath (undry hoary branched ftalkes'with long and narrow whitifh leaves, difperfedly 
fet thereon unto the toppcs, where the flowers appeare in umbels,each branch bearing a large tuft of fcaly yeliow 
flowers, like a loofe or fparfed umbel!, keeping their colour long before they wither, and being fathered in a tic 
dry time when they are in their perteftion, will fo abide, and be kept a long time after: the fee cT is red, fmaller 
than Mar jerome, and fliarper: the roote is fmall and black ; the whole plant is of a Crong fweet (cent, not un- 
plealant. 
8 . Cbryfocome five Stachas Citrina Cretica. Candy golden Caffidoriy.or Goldilocks. 
This Candiot groweth very like the former, but with fmaller long Ic ives, all hoary, the flowers are in larger um¬ 
bels, greater alfo, and of a more fliining pale gold colour, which will abide, being gathered in the beauty as the o- 
ther. There is another fort called Elicbryjbm Orientate by Bautinas, differing little from this lalf fort, bur in the 
Icaly heads of flowers, which are greater and longer than they, and in the whole plant whichis taller and more^T, 0 "' 
hoary. V" M - 
O. Cbryfocome Cretica alterajiv'e Hifpanica. Spaniffi golden 
Caffidony. 
This other Candior or Spaniard, which you will, groweth 
fometimes but with one ftalke, or elfe with more, bake a yard 
high, covered with an hoary downe, having fundry long and 
narrow leaves on them, fometimes difperfedly fet, and (ome- 
times more together, grecne on the upperlide, and hoary under¬ 
neath: at the toppe: grow fmall branches, bearing one or two 
fcaly long heads ofyeuow flowers, fomewhat like to thole of 
Maudeline, confifling of many thrtds or thrums. 
10. Stadias citrina altera odora. Sweet yellow Caffidony. 
The yellow fweet Caffidony is a fmall low plant, not riling 
above a foote and a halfe high at the rnoft, with divers (lender 
branches fomewhat hoary, whereon are fet (mall long and nar¬ 
row leaves, of a darke or morefullen hoary colour, thenthofe 
of the former golden Caffidony, at the toppes of the long divi¬ 
ded ftalkcs, Hand Angle heads of yellow lcalcs, nothing offo 
lively a yellow colour as they, nor lo round, but a little longer than round,with a few threads or thrums at the tops 
which bring forth fmall browne feed, wrapped in fomc downe ; the roote is black, but fmaller and flenderer than 
it: this hath a lelfe heady feent than the other, yet not unpleafant. 
II. Stechas Citrinamodora. Vnlavory yellow Caffidony. 
This fmall Caffidony hath divers low hoary ftalkes, not aboue a foote high, whereon doe grow fmall long 
hoary leaves,broader and larger than the laft: at the toppes of the ftalkcs ftand moil commonly two heads, yet 
fometimes but one, which are greater and longer than the laft, and the kales likewife longer, and fomewhat of a 
brownifh gi eene with the hoarinefle, from whence rife many pale yellow threads or thrums, which when they are 
pad, the feed ripening, is inclofed in downe, and blowne away with the wind: the roote is lelfe thin the laft, and 
blackifh, but not lelfe wooddy: this whole plant and every partis utterly without any feent to bee perceived 
in it. r 
is. Stacbat Citrina fylvejlrior, Wilde yellow Caffidony. 
This wilde Caffidony (for thereunto I referre it) hath a round hairy'ftalke, ftored with mod pure white wooll 
divided at the toppes into feverall Ihort branches, the leaves that ftand on them arc fomewhat longer and larger 
than the laft ; grecne on the upperlide, and grayifh, hoary, and woolly underneath,and a little endented about the 
edges, the ends of the branches are naked without leaves, for foure inches long, bearing at the toppes of every of 
them one lcaly head, with divers yellow threads or thrums in the middle , like unto the laft, but fomewhat 
larger. 
15. Stachas Citrina Cretica flare ample. Candy unfavory yellow Caffidony with largeflowers. 
This brave filver- like plant groweth very high and tall, having a ftraight round ftalke that is white or hoary,and 
ofafingers thief nefle, fpreading fundry branches, fo thick fet with fmall long and hoary leaves, many together at 
fpaces, that they cover and hide rhe branches almoft wholly, and are more like unto Caffidony than Lavender-cot¬ 
ton leaves, whereunto Alpinm doth liken them, but not dented about the edges: the upper part of the ftalkesdi- 
. vide themfelves into fmall Iprigges, bearing each of them,on a long (lender ftalke, a large yellow flower, like unto 
a Angle Marigold Handing in a greenchuske, wherein after the flower is withered andpaft, groweth fmall long 
feed like unto Sow-thiftle feed : the roote is long, white, and tender : this plant hath neither feent or talk much 
to be perceived in it, faving a little bitternefle, whereby the Natives finde it cffetfuall to kill the wormes, to pro¬ 
voke urine, to open obflructions, and to helpe the jaundife, and the powder of the dryed iicarbe, or the juyee there¬ 
of, to cleanfe and healc foule ulcers and fores. ’ 
14. Stacbas purpurea odorata. Sweet purple Caffidony. 
I doe acknowledge that I doc not pleafe my lelfe, but others, in rhe placing of this plant in this place, and by this 
name, for although it hath a face or (hew in fome things life unto the yellow unfavory Caffidony , yet in other 
things it fo farre diftereth.that 1 might in my judgement,more truely place it with the lucent Knapweeds,than with 
thefe, as the description following will (hew to any that will duely confider it, whichis thus.Itrifeth to t'.e height 
almoft of a cubitc, leaning or bending downe the branches, whereby it fpreadeth in compail'e more than in height, 
from a long hardblackilh root, fnooting forth \yooddy and hoary branches, whereon doe grow many loiw and 
harrow leaves, of a darke grecne colour on the upperfide, and a little hairy withall, but of an hoary white on the 
under-
