hath it m our country that I could hcare of: but m the natural! place, as alfo beyond lea,at Rome ,and other warms c 
countries, it beareth a great tuft of flowers Together hanging downewards.each whereof is large and fomewhac S

therein for any thing I can learne,and doe not call it a lafmine as many others do,nor a Honyfuckle as our tnglifl, J

the laft Chapter, fcecaufe of the pods with feede,neither yet doe I entitle it Gdfimlr.nm heeleraceum Indicum as I 
that good French goofe doth, whofe horned name is prefixed to his worke ofgreat judgement no doubt to make ■
