7. Pentaphyllum fragiferum Clufij, Strawberry Cinkefoile. 
This Cinkefoile hath divers long hairy ftalkes of leaves, riling from the roote, not fet dofe together as othd I 
Cinkefoiles are, but parted or divided more like unto a winged lcafe, fometimes into five, and fomctimes inti i 
feaven leaves, rough and hairy alfo, dented about the edges, greene above and gray underneath, two fet one a 1 
gainft another, with a little fpacc betweene, but thole three at the ends, handing ioinewhat clol'er together: tbt 
ftalke that rifeth up among thefe leaves, is about a footehighor more, reddifh and hairy, and divideth it fell ■ 
at the toppe into leffer branches,with divers leaves thereon,divided into three parts, on the toppes whereof hand: 
large white flowers, very like unto Strawberry flowers, but fomewhat lefle, with many yellow threds in thii I 
middle ; which being fallen there fucceede fmall round heads, very like unto Strawfcei ryes, but {mailer ann I 
without any juice therein, having fmall reddifh feeds within them: the roote is fomewhat thicke,long,hard,ani t f 
wooddy, reddifh within and blackifh without,with divers fmall long fibres thereat. 
The P lace. 
The firft Bimhinus faith, was found on the walls of tvallflat, a City of the Switzers. The fecond as 
faith, groweth in many of the woods, upon the mountaines in Auftria , extending to the A/pes, as alfo in Ok&l 
Hungary, in Italy alio, and divers other places: the other fort of that kinde, Tragus faith, he found non 
farre from Liuba, a City of the Empire ; th e third was brought out of Egypt, or out ol Arabia, as the title de-ol 
clarcth. The fourth grew in ftony places, aboutCwnj 0 fthe Switzers. “1 he fifth grew faith Clufim, in thl: 
ftony and rocky places of the Alpes in Auftria and Stiria. The fixth is a Plant railed ‘from the feede that camts 
among other forts of feedes,fent me from beyond fea : the laft groweth in divers places of Hmgaria, and Ami 
firia. 
The Time. 
They doe all flower in the Sommer moneths oflune and Iuly, and the third in Auguft.

judgement in my mind ) for he there faith, that all the leaves are five parted, and his roote reddifh when it isi

the name of Pentaphyllum argenteuM, and becaufe it is none of the great ones, I have added thereto minus. The!
