8 . Cony XjA aruls a Alpina minor. Small blue Mountaine Fleabane, 
This fmall plant is fcarfe an hand breadth high, and fometimes lower, having a fmall round (lender ftalke, fome- 
what hairy, whereon groweth onely one bluifti flower; like unto the greater kinde of Mountaine Fleabane, but 
three times (mailer, with many threads in the middle (lying away with the wind, when it is ripe as the other: it 
hath many fmall leaves at the bottome o f the ftalke, and the toppe of the roote, which are of a pale greene colour, 
and about three inches long, but (liorter as they grow higher upon the ftalke, every one having a Chart foote-ftalk* 
at the bottome thereof: the roote is felackilh and fibrous. 
9. Conyza minor veraPen*. 
Tbc rrueft fmail Fleabane,

The little Heabaneis feldome found with more than one ftalke riling from

that are fet thereon are fmall and long, fomewhat like unto the leaves of the 
Olive tree, being fat or clammy, and hairy alfo, of a ftrong feent, yet fomewhat 
fweet withall: the toppes of the ftalkes are garnifbed with fmall yellow 
flowers like unto the laft, which when they are ripe flye away with the winde 
ias they doe. 
There are other forts of Fleabanes which becaufe they grow in moorifti watery, or wet places, (hall be remem- 
bred hereafter among the marfhy or watry plants. 
The ‘place. 
The firft groweth naturally onely in the warmer Countries of Spaine, Italy , Narbone of France, and the iikje, and 
will hardly endure the eoldofthefe Countries, and therefore muft be carefully kept in the Winter, if any would 
have it. The fccond is familiar to Cjermony, and therefore will better abide, having beenc found by Joannes Tholins 
and others in Hanyniajylva in Saxony, and we in many places of our owne land, as toward Hampfted^&c. The 
third and fourth Lobel faith were found upon the hills in Artois. The fifth was found by c JMyconus on high hills in 
Syaine. The fixth is found in divers places in the Kingdome of Naples , in moift fields that are in the Mountaines, as 
Cotumna faith, as alfo in the fand pits or places, neare the River of Rbofne by Lions in France , and the Alpes in An- 
firin y zs Clujiits faith. The feventh was found on Saint Bernards Mount in Switzerland • and the eight on the Hill 
of Saint Got bard, as Rauhiniss faith in his Prodromes , The ninth, groweth not farre from Madrill in Spaine t as Clu- 
fins faith, as alfo in the woods of Cjrammts neare Mompelier, as both he and Lobel fay. The laft Ranwolfins found 
growing about Tripoly in Syria . 
The Time. 
They doc all flower in the Moneths of Iune,Iuly, and Auguft, fome earlier or later than others; the firft and the 
ninth for the moft part flower lateft. 
The Names. 
Tt is called in Greeke vow?*, and in Latine alfo Conyzafic forte ditto, quia Kcbvaoras, id efl cnliccs fno lentore capiat y 
becaufe as is faid in the Defcription, the glutinous ciamminefle both of leaves and ftalkes, holdeth faft whatsoever 
falleth upon them, yet Diofcorides faith it is fo called, becaufe Sujfitn vel Subfiratn culices obigit & cnliccs necot. 
(fiaza tranflateth it Pnlicaria, and we in Englifh Fleabane accordingly, becaufe being burnt or laid in Chambers, ic 
Will kill Gnats,Fleas,or Serpents, as Tiofcorides faith, and not Flea wort, for that is anothor hearbe as fhall bee 
fhewed in his place. The firft is the trueft great Conyza of Diofcorides, by the judgement of Camerarius fiD odon&ns y 
Lobel, Pena, Lugdnnenfis ,and others. The fecond Johannes Thallus y as I faid, firft called Conyza major montana y 
who hath alfo another which he ca\\eth.major altera, both of them being very like one unto another, whereof Ca~ 
merarius in hort. fetteth out the figure, and Bauhinus thereupon calleth it Conyza montana hitea folijs oblongs. The 3 „ 
of both forts and 4.are fo called,as they are in their titles,by Lobel in his Dutch Hearball,be£aufe the feent of them is 
not ftrong like the other Conyzas , but fweet like Honey. The fifth is called by Lugdnnen(is C onyza montana My coni 2 
and Batihinns Conyzdmontanafolqsglntinofis pilofis. The fixt is called by divers Conyza odorata , as Lngdnnenfis faith, 
and of Colnmna Amelins montanns , becaufe hee faith it is fo like unto the Amelins fiirgilij. Gefiner in bis booke De 
• Collettione Stirpium , and Cordns alfo, calleth it (fonyzoides c&rnlca, Tabermontanns Conyza carnica • it is called alfo

Dodonatts in his French Booke calleth Brigernm tertinm, and in his Latine Booke Erigernm quartern : but Vodonans 
in thofe places maketh no mention of any blue or purple colour in that Brigernm, but onely faith it hath a pale yel¬ 
low flower, fo quickly fading, that it abideth not a day, but even almoft the fame houre that it is blowne, it doth-
