hath uptight flalkes, which this hath not; but all other Herbarifts doe account it a kinde of fmall Knotgrafle and 
fo have I called it,although fomewhat differing from him-,Bauhinm maketh it an AnthyUts among his AnthyUides 
and a Fohqonum alfo among thefe, calling it Polygonumgramineofoils majus ereblum } which in my opinion is not 
fitting unto it, in that it neither groweth upright, nor hath fuch long leaves, that they fhould refemblegraffe :
