fmall round berries greene at the fuff, and blackifh when they are ripe, full of a purpli'fli Juyce within them; J 
wherein lie feme fmall flat feedes orgraines: theroote is great aud thicks fpreading farrc about. There is a 3 
kinde of fangut or excrefcence growing at the foote of the body, and on the branches of this tree, called lewes a 
earcs, which I (hall further declare among the other forts of Mulhroomes. 
2, Sambucusfrublualbo. White berried Elder. 
This Elder is fo like the former, both in growth, bar ke, pith, branches, fcnt, leaves and flowers, that untill it Ij 
come to beare fruit, it is very hard to be difcerned from the other ; the chicfcft difference hereof, is that theber- | 
riesare not blacke, but of a pale whitifh yellow colour in moth places, yetinfome they abide greenillr: and i| 
hereby onely it is dillinguiflied from the former. 
3. Sambucus tacin'uuU folijs. Jagged Elder. 
. As the former Elders were diftingnilhed onely by their berries, foth'e onely difference in this from thefirff, ( 
is the forme of the leaves, which are fo much jagged, and divided even to the middle ribbe, that unleffe the k 
ftnell thereof declared his defeenr, no body by the prefent face would deeme it an Elder: in all other parts c 
thereof as well flowers as fruite or berries, it differeth not from the common Elder. 
4. Sr.mbucns raccmofa rubra. Red berried Elder. 
The Mountaine Elder alfo differeth little from the firft fort, for but that it groweth feldome fo great and il 
that the flowers being lomewhatyellowifh, grow not in large fpread tufter.but in fmail long branched clutters, ,r, 
like unto Privet, and that the berries following them are of a lcarlet red colour, pleafantto be eaten and not of- 1 
fenlive to any •* it is like it in the growing,rugged white barkein the body and Elder boughes, and fomewhat d 
reddifh in the young leaves, as alfo in the rootes the wood being not fo foft nor fo pithy. 
5. SambucusyaltiftrisJiveAijuatica, Marfli Eldev 
The Marfli or Water Elder, hath his body and branches covered with a whitifh barke, but they are fmaller ‘it 
and more brittle than any of the former: the leaves alfo differ much from them, being broad and fmooth divfc 4 
ded at the edges, into three, orfometimes into five divifions or inci lures, and dented round about, being very ;i? 
like unto a Vine leafe, and comming fomewhat neere unto the great Maple or Sicomore leafe, asweufe to call )ti 
it: the flowers ft and in tuftes or limbells like the firll forts, but they are fmaller and whitifh, the cutermoft being :i 
larger by much than any of the innermoft, or of the former Elders, confining of five leaves a peece, round poin- r 
ted, which compafle the middle flowers round about, but have no threds in the middle, of a reafonable fweeteda 
lent: after which follow very red berries, fomewhat flat and full of a red iuyee, bitterifh in tafte, readvtopro- 
voke calling. ^ 1 v 
6 . Sambucus Rofea. TheGelderRofe. 
. Of this kinde Is this Elder or Gelder Role, growing after the fame manner with fuch like leaves,but the flower 
is compofed as it were qf many white, or pale blufli flowers, fet together in a round tuft or ball. 
7 . Uvulas five Samhuctts humilif. Walewort.DaneWort, or Dwarfe Elder. 
. Wall wort! 3 but an herbe every yeare dying downe with his flalkes to the ground, and riling agaire a frefh 
every fpnng, and is like unto the Elders both in forme and qualitie, that deservedly it hath the name of a dwarft i 
_lder. Which rilcth up with a foure fquare rough hairy ftalke fcure foote high or more fome times: the wingec ; 
leaves;*)
