The Time. 
It is greene all theyeare, and his time 
for flowring if it doth at all,is not expref- 
led. 
The Names, 
It is called in Greeke o'W^, and fo 
likewife Onofma in Latine, Gale n faith it 
Was called alfoinhis time Ofmas Phlomi- 
tis, and Ononis ■ wee may call it in Englifh 
for diftin&ions fake Stone Bugloffe, both 
for that it is like in forme and manner of 
growing unto lome of the fortsof wildc 
Bugloile, and that it chiefely delighethin 
ftony dry, and rockie grounds. 
The Vertues . 
This is fbarpe, hot, and bitter in tafle, 
differing in qualitie from the other forts 
before, which are rather cold and dry : 
the leaves hereof in powder taken in 
wine, or the deco&ion of them made in 
wine and given to women with child, 
willcaufe them quickly ro mifearry, and 
if the child be dead before the birth, it 
will cauf e it fpeedily to be driven forth ; 
it is alfo dangerous faith < T)iofcorides for 
great bellied women to pafleover it, for 
feareof caufing them to^mifearry.

are branched toward the toppes into other fmaller 
ones, full of leavts but much fmalier, whofe ends
