Conyza. Fleabane. 
Iofcorides fetteth forth three forts of Conyzi t or Fleabane, a greater and a letter, and a third which is be- 
tweeneboth. Theophraflns and TUny that folio weth him, make but two forts, a male and a females 
others have a'dded a fourth, the lead of all : bnt there are divers other hearbes referred unto thenfby 
Clnfius and others, as they have found them in their travels; fome of thefe forts are found wild in our 
Country in fome places,but becaufethey are not very frequent to meet with, Ithinkeitnot amilfe to rankethem 
with the reft of their Tribe in this place. 
1. Cwyxania)orveTior Diofcoricks* 
The trucft great Flcab.inc. 
1. Gonyza major verier Diofioridif.The trueft great Fleabane. 
This great Conyza which is accounted the trueft and nea¬ 
red unto that of Diofcorides, hath divers hard rough, or hairy 
round wooddy (hikes, tWo or three foote high ; whereon 
are placed without order, many long and l'omewhat narrow 
pale greene leaves, dented a little about the edges, very clam¬ 
my as theftalkeis alfo, but much more in the hotter Coun¬ 
tries, than in this, and are fomewhat like unto the leaves of 
the Italian Starrewort, but larger, and more pointed at the 
ends: towards the toppes of the (hikes come forth at every 
joynt with the leaves a yellow flower, fomewhat large, like 
unto the flower of Hawkweed or Eroundfell; which when, 
itis fall ripe.turneth into downe, and flyeth away with the^ 
feed : the fmell hereof is fomewhat ftrong, but fomewhat 
fweet withall, and not loathfome : and isifo glutinous and 
clammy, that what fmall thing foever as Flyes, See. lighteth 
upon it, is held thereon. 
a. Coryza major montatm Germttnka. Great Mountaine 
Fleabane of Germany. 
This kinde of Conyza hath divers round greene ftalkes, a- 
bout two foote high, nothing fo clammy as the former,having 
many long pointed leaves fet thereon without order, of a fad 
or darke greene colour, each whereof is foure or five inches 
long, and an inch and a halfe broad: the flowers are yellow, 
fomewhat larger than the other, every one standing at the 
toppes of the branches,upon a long ftalke,in the lame manner 
that the former doe, that is with a pale or border of leaves, 
and many fmall thrums in the middle, palling into downe 3 _ 
and is carryed away with the winde, even as they doe.There timpfoUi 
is another of this fort with longer leaves,and Idler flowers. 
3. Coryza He [emtio mellita incana. Hoary Iweet Fleabane 
Mullet. 
This Fleabane Mullet rifeth up with divers long and fome¬ 
what broad leaves,neare unto the forme of Fox-glove leaves, 
but that thefe are hoary or f gray on the upperfide, and of a 
brownifh greene on the underfide, herein fomewhat like unto the leaves of RbaHeleniy folio, or Ballard Rubarbe 
with Elecampane leaves: the ftalkes are hoary likewife,riling to be two or three foote high,fet withthe like leave* 
as grow below, but fmaller and finaller up to the toppes,- where many flowers Hand together, like unco the former 
Fleabanes, and much greater than Groundfell, which turne into downe and flie away with the winde: the roote is 
compofedofmanyblackifli firings and fibres, whereby it takethfaft hold of the ground, the whole plant is fome¬ 
what clammy, yec much lelle than the firff, and much fweeter than it. 
Label giveth us the figure of another fort, whofe chiefe difference confifteth in that the leaves are jagged or ent 
in on the edges. 
4. Coryza Helefiitis pilofa. Hairy Fleabane Mullet. 
This Fleabane is both in forme of leaves and flower, and other things fo like the laft recited Fleabane Mullet, 
that there is no other difference to be found ; bnt in that both leaves and ftalkes are befides the hoarineffe,more hairy 
and rough than it, which caufeth it to be held as a differing fort. 
y. (fonyzamontanapilofa . Hairy Mountaine Fleabane. 
This kind of Fleabane is alfo a differing kind from the laft,in that the leaves as well as the ftalkes, wfiich are round, 
firme, a foote high or more, are hairy and rough, being fmaller than the former, and not much bigger than the 
leaves of Hifope, but as glutinous and clammy (which may be by reafon of the hot climate wherein it gro weth) a3 
thefirft, of a ftrong virulent feent like to the fmell of a Goat: at the toppes of each of thefe ftalkes, which arema- 
ny,ftandeth one final! pale yellow flower, fomewhat like unto the flower of a' Sow-tbiftiej which turneth inro
