The Place. 
Thefird groweth wilde in fome places of Italy, and the parts of France next unto it, and not with us, bntis 
onely nourfed up in the Gardens of thofe that are lovers and curious. The (econd and third grow wilde in ma¬ 
ny places of our land, in barren or untilled places,and by the way fides. The fourth Bauhinus faith was brought 
out of the Garden at Padoa, groweth as Lobel faith in the rough or dony defeent of the valley o POPbia in Piemont. 
The fixt groweth in corne grounds in many places beyond the (ea, and in the way from Brifidlto Bath as Lobel 
faith. The feaventh groweth in Germany, in the Corne fields by Altzein , and the thunder hill as Tragus faith, 
and in Franconia as Gamerarins faith, betweene Herbipolis and Frankford, The lad groweth about Mompelier in 
Trance , 7 he Time.

The Names. 
It is called in Greeke tu$oanf(uv,ideft, Lapideumfemenobduritiem, in Latine alio Lit hofper mam, Dlmy g{- 
veth it other names, as C/orgonium,u£ginochos, Heraclea , and Dyofpiros, but this name doth more fitly agree 
with the Lachrymalob, as I (howed in the Chapter before, but indeed he cotifounderh both deferiptions toge¬ 
ther, and the names alfo; and of Phifitions and Apothecaries for the mod part Milium Soils ,and Gramm Solis,ab 
alicjuibw itadici putatur, quodfcmencandore [oils & lucisfplendorefulgeat, but Serapio faith from the authority 
of Aben Julia, that it fhould be called Milium Soler, becaule (the (eedes being lmall as Milium) it grew upon 
the mountaines called Soler, otherwifeoftbe Arabians it is called ICilb, Cult, Colt, and Calisb, of the Italians 
Lithofpermo, and the leiler kinde, Ah ho Salvatico, and Milium Solis, as Cafior Durant es faith, of the French 
Gremill, and L’her be aux perles , of the Cjermanes Meerhirfz, and Stein fame n, ofche Dutchmen Perlecruyt ende 
Stcenfaet , in Fnghfij Gromell, Peare plant, and of fome Lichwale. The fird is c ailed by Brurfelffw Saxifraga 
tertia, and is thought by "Bauhinus to be the Lithofpermum minus of Matthiolus, Dodonmu, and others, (and not 
hi smajus, which he feemeth not to know,) and yetcalleth it Lithofpermum mayu ereJFum , and referreth it to 
the Milium Solisfativum of Tragus, the Lithofpermum legitimism of C.lufius, the Lithofpermum alteram fruti- 
cofam of Johannes Thalius, in his defeription of Harcjniafylva, which by them all is (aid to grow Upright, and to 
differ from my (econd, which Cluftus, Dodontus, Camcrarins, Lobel, and Lugdunenfis doe all call majus and mayu 
repens • and yet Bauhinus calleth it Lithofpermum minus repens latifolium. contrary to them all, he feferreth this 
alfo to the Dulmonaria minor Dalechampij , which Lugdunenfs exhibiteth, which how truely I cannot well fee,tlie 
third in my judgement is the Lithofpermum minus, both of Matthiolus, Dodoneus, Camerarim, Gefncr , Lobel , and 
others .*• the fourth Bauhinus calleth in his Pinax, Lithofpermum anguf folium umbellatum,and there faith, he hath 
deferibed it in his Prodromus, but I can finde none there exprefled, but in the Appendix to his Pinax, in folio 521. 
it is briedy deferibed, and more at large with the proper figure unto it by the name of LAthotpermum frutefeens 
anguflifohum in his Matthiolus. The fifth is the Lithofpermum Anchufa facie of Label, which Bauhinus calleth 
Lithofpermum minus ereElum, but I finde fo little difference betweene thefe two lad, that if any would take them 
to be both but one plant, I (hould readily agree thereunto:the fixt is the Lithofpermum fy he fire of Tragus,Fufchi- 
us, and C amerarius in his Epitome of Matthiolus, and the third of Dodonxus, the Anchufa degener facie Molij foils 
op Lobel, the Echittm minus Lithofpermo congener of Gejner in his Appendix, the Anchufa arvenfis alba of Thalius, 
and Lithofpermum arvenfe radice rubra of Bauhinus, who likewife faith it is the Lithofpermum nigrum of Lug¬ 
dunenfis • but furely either Lugdunenfis is much midaken in his defeription and figure, or Bauhinus in his refe¬ 
rence and opinion : Por Lugdunenfis dePcnbzth it, and fo the figure expreffeth, to have many fmall leaves fee 
together at fpaces about the dalkes, like as a fmall Madder hath, which doth not corrcfpond with any Litho¬ 
fpermum, The feaventh Tragus and Camerarim call Pafferina, and Lingua Pafferina, and thereupon may be cal¬ 
led Sparrw-wort, as well as fmall Gromell with flaxen leaves, and is the fourth Lithofpermum of Dodonxus, 
the Pafferina herbariorum uni caulis of Lobel and Pena, JAngua pafferina of Tabcrmontanns, Paferina Ltnariaoi 
Gerard, reckoning it with the Linarials, ‘Bauhinus calleth it Lithofpermon LinarU folio Germanicum , and referreth 
it alfo unto the Linaria altera botryodes montana opFabius Columna, whole defeription and figure in my judge¬ 
ment doth utterly difclaime it: the lad he calleth Lithofpermum limrixfolio Monfpetiactim, and Lobel and Lug- 
dtmnfis Lithofpermum linarix folio,
