two forts, yet one defeription may ferve them both) they are 
many finall ones fet one againft another all along a middle 
ribbe or ftalke, and fnipt about the edges; in one fort the leaves 
hand clofer and thicker, and lomcwhat crumpled, which hath 
caufed it to be called double or curld Tanlie; in che other fort 
thinner and more fparledly fet: it rifeth up with many hard 
ftalkes, whereon grow at the toppes of the branches gold yel¬ 
low flowers like buttons, which being gathered in their prime, 
will hold the frefh colour a long fealon : the feed is fmall, and 
as it were rhaffie : the roote creepeth under ground, and fhoo- 
tethupagainein divers places: the whole hearbe both leaves 
and flowers are of a fharpe ftrong bitter fmeli and tafte, but yet 
pieafant and well to be endured. 
2. Tmacetumverpcolor. Party colouredTanfic. 
The party coloured Tanlie is in roote, Ieafe and flower, alto¬ 
gether like the other common garden Tanlie ; the onely diffe¬ 
rence betweene them, confifteth in this, that upon the firft 
fhooting up of the heads of leaves, they are almoft all white, 
and after they are growne great, there will bee many leaves, 
remaining white , among the greene, which maketh it the 
more delightful!, feeming like unto a party coloured Feathery 
in regard of the fine cut leaves of white and greene. 
g. Tanacetamlanityinoftijn. Woolly Tanlie. 
Woolly Tanlie from a thick blackiflt fpreading roote, fen* 
deth focth divers winged leaves, fomewhat like unto the for¬ 
mer Tanlie and neare unto the leaves of Yarrow, (whereof 
fome would make it akinde) of a very fweet feent, and with- 
all very woolly, fet dole together about the roote, among 
which fpringup divers woolly ftalkes, having a few fuch iike 
leaves upontheirf, and at the toppes many tufts of yellow 
flowers. 
4. Te.Mcetummi-Msjloref’.llio. Small white Tanfle. 
Small white Tanlie hath divers winged leaves lying upon 
the ground, round about the toppes of the roote, very much 
cut or divided into parts, fomewhat refembling both Tanlia 
and Yarrow, of a pale greene colour, being both leffe bitter 
in tafte, and leffe hot, or ftroiig in fmeli than Tanfle : from among which leaves rile divers low ftalkes, befec 
with fmaller leaves up to the toppes, where the flowers (land in tufts, the borders being of a white colour, and the 
middle thrum yellow, the roote is long and wooddy, fhooting divers wayes. 
5. Ttn.uetum Alfimm. Mountaine Tanlie. 
The Mountaine Tanfle hath many winged leases lying upon the ground, compafling the toppe of the roote, very 
like unto the ordinary Tanfle, in the divifion of the leaves, and ofadeepe greene colour, as bitter in tafte, ,but more 
pleafant in feent than it: from whence rife up the ftalkes, little above a foote high, here and there fet w ith the like 
leaves, but fmaller ; the flowers at the toppes are like unto Camomill flowers, with a border or pale of white 
leaves, and a yellow thrumme in the middle : the roote is fmall and fhort,fomewhat thicke at the head,and fmaller 
downewards, with divers fmall fibres thereat 
6 . Tanacetrtm itrodorttm. Vnfavory Tanfle. 
Vnfavory Tanfiehath his large winged leaves, very neare refembling Tanlie, lying upon the ground, and among 
them round hard greene ftalkes, with very few and (hotter leaves thereon , at the toppes whereof Hand divers 
flowers, upon fhort foote-ftalkes very like unto the flowers, of the great white Daify, and as large, confiding of 
foureteencor fixteene leaves, as a pale or border, about a yellow thrumme in the middle : the roote fpreadeth un¬ 
der the upper part of the earth, and gocth not farre downe: the whole is altogether without auy feent therein at 
all, yet the leaves are of a hot and (harpe tafte, quickly piercing the tongue. 
There is another of this kindeofunfavory Tanlie. whofe leaves are moreloofelyfpread, although as much divi¬ 
ded, and the flowers being white, ate as fmall as Feverfew. 
The Place. 
The ordinary Tanfle groweth in fome places beyond Sea by the hedges and ditches tides, and in the borders of 
fields, the curld Tanfle is peculiar to our owne land, and fois the fecond.and likely tobea degeneration from the 
ordinary fort by accident,and nurfed up in our owne Country, where thefllps doe often loofe,and fometimes keepe 
their kindc. The third groweth about Momfelier in France, and in other places. The fourth groweth as well in 
6ermm l as in Italy, in divers places. The lift groweth on the high and fnowy Kills on the Alpes, among the Swit¬ 
zers. The !afl groweth in Hungary, Auftria, Germany, and about Valentia, and in the Country’ of 'Dmlfhint in 
The Time. 
They doe all flower in the Summet Monethes of Tune and Iuly. 
The Names. 
‘Tanfle is called Tanacetum, corruptly taken, as Fuchftw thinketh, from , of ApttMus his Artbeulfia 
TrayameS' and Athanafa peradventure of Athamtos fine mane, or mm mariati, becaufe the yellow flowers 
gathered in due time a dye not of a long time after, like as divers of che-othcr hearb&s laft remembred • Tabcrwon-*
