Coronoptts f,ve Cornu Cervinum. Buckshorne Plantaine. 
Here are fome other forts ofthis herbe better knowne in thefe dayes, then they have beene for- 
merly, which though growing in different climates, we will draw into one Chapter, and ex- 
?_ ■ 1 . Toronopus vulgaris five Cornu Cervinum. Common Buckshorne Plantaine, 
:: This being foweir of feederifeth up at the firfl, with fmall, long, narrow, ha.ry, darke greene 
leaves like grade, without any divifion or gafih in them, but thofe that follow are gafoed n on 
both tides of the leaves, into three or foure gafhes and pointed at the ends, refembling the knagges of a k -

one bv another, thereby refembling the forme of a (larre, and therefore called Herba Stella ■ from among which 
rife up divers hairy ftalkes, about an bandbreadth high, bearing every one a fmall long ‘’ e kc ,™' 
to thofe ofthe common Plantaine, having fuch like bloomings and feede after ti cm . 0 v ® 
and fmall, with divers fibres annexed thereunto, the taftc hereof is altogether drying like Plantaine.

which I might impute rather to the climate then to a differing kinde , but take it in which fenfcyoo 
pleafe, for neither you nor f can erre much, if we take it in either) hath many leaves lying on the ground foure 
inches long, and fo narrow that the Sea Southerne wood leaves exceed them not, having ™^hfideth= eate 
three very long cuts or gafhes turned inwards, all of them frnooth and of a frefo greene “™t,andnot°ugn
