Cannabis fjhejlris Jive fptiria. 
Here are two or three forts ofherbes,thar are accounted by divers for wilde or baftard Hempes, 
-: 1 y et are none of them the true Cannabisfjlvrftris of ‘Diafcmdes : 'Batthimts therefore in nor fo ac¬ 
counting of them,referreth them to the kinds of Nettles,as you fhall heare by and by. 
1. CatmabU fpuriaprima. The firft baftard Hempe. 
This ballard Hempe rifeth up with a reafonable great hairy fquare Italke, not very ftrong nor 
_ upright, but as it were leaningdowne, with divers joynts bundling out like knees, and two 
ives fet at every of them.fomewhat long hairy and pointed, of a frefher greene colour then the manured 
empe.anddented about the edges: at the joynts likewife come forth divers branches joynted and fet with 
tves in the fame manner, where about towards the toppes grow divers hoodded and gaping flowers, like thofc 
the dead Nettle, but larger,and greater, of a pale purplifh colour, (landing in fmall greene prickly huskes; 
herein afterwards groweth the feede, being fmall and round, three or foure growing together: the rooteis 
rd and white,and fomewhat fpreading,but dying before winter. 
There is another hereof, whofe flower is of a perfeft white colour for the mod part, or a little pale whayifh, Flore ‘lit 
hich doth plair.cly exprefle the difference. 
a. Cannabisfpuriaaltera. The fecondbaflard Hempe. 
' This other baftard Hempe differeth not in ftalke from the former, but the leaves are fhorter and rounder ; the 
iwers hereof are not fo great as they, the uppermeft part or hood whereof, is of a pale colour tending to yel- 
w, and the lower part of a deeper red or purple colour: the huskes of the flowers are fomewhat more prickly 
ien the ocher. 
3. C annabU fptiria tertia. The third baftard Hr mpe. 
The third baftard hempe is in tbe growing much like the former, butthac the leaves at the j'oynts are feme* 
hat long and narrow, a little fadder and not dented about the edges in the mod; the flowers hereof are hoo- 
ed and gaping, but they are of a pale yellqwifh colour wholly, with a little or no (hadow or fpot therein, and 
and thicker about the j'oynts, whofe huskes have longer and (harper points then the reft. 
The Place . 
All thfc doe grow as well in moyft grounds as in dry, by ditch (ides, and by the path wayes, under walls,&c. 
ad feme of them will be found in gardens, to be continually pulled up as a weede, and unprofitable herbetyet 
ic fecond fort with a whice flower was found by the path wayes near cC/apham, and in the ditches by Red.
