Mouruaine Avcns. 
but fotncWhat deepely cut in on the edges, of a frcfher grcene colour likcvvilc, fofter alfo and gentler in handling: 
from among which rile Gender Galkes, feldome branched, having very few leaves thereon, at the toppcs whereof 
(land ulually one flower apeece, yet lometimes more, made for the mod part like the former, confiding of five or 
Gxe leaves, much larger than they, and of a deeper yellow colour, and lometimes with a white flower, as Camera - 
rim faith tn horto , tending to redneffe, having many yellow threads in the middle, compacting a greene head, which 
when the flower is pad, incrcaleth to be a round head,befet with flat feeds, not fo rough, or ready to dicke to ones 
garments, but every one of them having a long featherlike ha ire or thread at the end : the whole plant a? well 
leaves as flowers, and feed, are covered with a fmall loft hairy downe, which is not much or ealily dilccrned.un- 
lefle one heed it very well.* 
3. C/try ophyllata Alpha minor. Small Mountaine Avens. 
There is a lmallcr kinde hereof found on A'font Baidas , little differing from the former, but in thefmalneffe 
thereof, being covered with a fofc downe, and of a darker greene colour, the flowers being large for t(re fmalnelfe 
of the plant, and confiding of fixe leaves for the mod part. 
4. C*ry ophyllata Alpha minor altera . The other fmall Mountaine Avens. 
This fmall Mountaine Avens hath much longer leaves than the lad, lying upon the ground round about, and much 
more divided, or cut into divers parts* making each part of the leafe to referable that of Smalladge, being a cubite in 
length, from among which rile up two or three weake trayling dalkes, with foure leaves thereon, much lelfe than 
thefower, but more finely cut in, on the toppe whereof dandeth one large flower, confiding of fixe, and fometimes 
of eight leaves, danding in a greene huske, whofe ends reach to the height ofthe flower, which is ofa paler yellow 
colour than the former, and turneth into fuch like heads, of long hairy feeds as the former: the rootc is fomewhat 
long and (lender, branched forth, and with divers fibres at them. 
5 . Caryophjllata montan a five palufiris purpurea. Purple Mountaine or marfh Avens. 
This Marfh Avens- hath leaves fomewhat like the fecond fort,but with longer foote-Aalkes, and fomewhat hairy, 
the dalkes rife ashigh as the fird many times,with fewer leaves fet here and there on them,and more divided; at the 
topped (land two or three fmall flowers apeece, hanging downe their heads, ofa purplifh yellow colour, Icarce ap¬ 
pearing above the huskes that containe them : after which come fuch heads, but more foft and downy : the roote 
creepeth in the ground, and fmelleth much lelfe than the former,and feme little or nothing. 
; . .. Wee have had from New-England another of this kind, brought by John Newton a Chirui gion or Cotton, t at 
/t. * mr ‘ is taller and greater than this, differing little in any thing elfe, giving flat thin blackifh feed in huskes. 
6 . CaryopbyHata aejuatica altera. Another Marfh Avens. _ 
This other is like unto the fife, but hath the huske that containeth the flower, fpreading beyond the brims there- 
rfi, whichisinfome more reddifh, and in fomc more double than in others, not differing many other nota e 
y.Caryophyl-
