I had rather put this Cockle in this place among the wild Campions,whereunto both in face and ocher proper* 
ties it is mod like than either put it with the NigelUs as fome doe, or make a Chapter of purpofe for it. It hath rim oik 
an upright hayrie dalke, (hooting forth branches on all (ides, with two long hayrie, or woolly foft leaves at the 
joynts: the flowers fland at the toppes of the brandies, in hayrie long huskes, whofe ends or points, are longer 
than any of the former Campions,danding upright both before the flowers open,& after they are pad,and layin= 
tbemfelves betweene the five round painted leaves, when they are blowen, which are of a bright reddifh pur¬ 
ple, or crimfon colour: the feede that folioweth in hard round heads, is bioger and blacker, than in any of the 
former: me roote is fmall and wooddy, periling as foone, as it hath borne feedc. Some have obferved a 
lorthcreof with white flowers.

The- wild Campion of Candy, fpreadethforth many branches, from the very bottome of the (lender hayrie 
ftalke, not above a footc high, whereon are fet two leaves one oppofite to another, at every joynt, which are 
fmall, long, and narrow, fomewhar thicke, and woolly or hoary; atthe toppe of eadi branch dandeth one 
fmall flower, like unto the other wilde Campions, dented in at the ends, of a fine reddifh colour, upon thefirft 
blowing and opening, but declining to whitifh afterwards, with divers threds in the middle tipt with yellow. 
ItandingWlfayric huskes, fmall at the bottome, and larger at the toppes, the heads and feede arelikeunto the 
Carden Role Campion : the roote is fmall and fibrous, perifhing every yeare, yet rifine of the feede, ifit be fuf-

This hoary wilde Campion fhooteth forth five or fixe fmall hoaryftalkes,.about halfe a foote high, with two
