Heliotropium . Turnefole. 
B Hcre are divers forts of’nerbes that may be called Sunturners, becaufe their flowers doe oppofe the 
Sunne, whereof to fpeake in this place is not mypurpofe, neither will the method of the works 
admit: but properly of that kinde fo called, whereof there are three or foure forts, a6 lhall be pre- 
fently declared. ^ - 
i. Heliotropitim maps. The greater rurnfole. 
The greater Turnefole rifeth up with one upright (hike, about a foote or more high, dividing it felfe almoU 
from the bottome into divers fmaller branches, of ahoary colour ■ at each j’oynt of the ftalke and branches orow 
two fmall broad leaves, fomewhat like unto thofe of Calamintor Bafil, but greater than Calamint, and Teffer 
than the greater Bafilt, fomewhat white or hoary alfo : at the toppes of the llalkes and branches, hand many (mall 
white flowers >' confiding of foure and fometimes of five very fmall leaves, fee in rder, one above another, upon 
a fmall crooked (pike, which turneth inwards like a bowed finger, opening by degrees as the flowers blow open ; 
after with in their places come fmall cornered feede, foure for the mod part handing together: the roote is fmall 
and threddy, perifhing every yeare, and the (eede (bedding it felfe, rifeth againe the next Spring. 
2. HeliotropiummajwfupinUm. The greater creeping Turnefole. 
This creeping Turnefole according to the judgement of Chtfau, is in a manner but the fame with the former 
greater Turnefole, becaufe it is in mod things fo like it, yetdiffereth in t efe particulars, that it hath more and 
flenderer ftalkes, not banding upright as the former doth but leaneth downe to the ground, the dalkes and 
leaves are Idfer.but hoary in the like manner; the flowers ate white, and band in crooked fpiked heads, bowing 
like a Scorpions taile, as the other, but the feede being fmaller, Ifandeth fingly, or but two together: therootea 
are fmall and perilh in like tflanner.
