Becaufe this plant doth participate both with the former bafe Broomes in fome things, and with the Spanifb 
Broomes that follow, I have thought good to place it betweene them both, whofe defeription is as followeth.

fmall branches, fome ofthem the length of oneshapdj and fome fnorter; whereon doe grow very’ fparinglya 
few leaves, fomewhat longflut very narrow, which doe hot abide but fall away, within a very fhort fpace after 
rhey are fprung, fo that the plant for the mod part is feene without leaves: on the toppe of every branch ftan- 
deth one foft woolly round head, like unto the former Bafe Broomes, which after openeth itfelfe into many 
fmall pale yellow flowers, every one [landing in a woolly huske, after which come fmall pods wherein lycvb
