The greater Spanijh Catchfiie hath divers grayifh gTeene leaves lying upon the ground next the roote, which are 
fmall andfolon" at thebottome as if it were a foote!talk,but broader toward the end and fomewhat long withal!,

5. OlLufcipnla Salamamicaminor, The fmaller Spam ft, Catchfiie. 
The fmaller Spanijh Catchfiie differeth fo much in forme from all the other lorts of wilde Campions, that it 
might feeme tobe none of the family : butbecaufeas Clnfmt faith, the learned of Salamanca did call it Sefamoiics 
as They did the former, which is moll fit to be of the number of the wilde Campions, hee thought it never the 
Idle not unfit to joyne them together, andfo doe I, untill I may know a fitter place to fetit: Itbeareth many 
thicke long <rcenc leaves,like unto line or flax upon the (lender ftalkes.bcfides thofe that are at the foote of them, 
fet thicke thereon one above another, but without any order or proportion ; at the toppes whereof grow many 
fpiked heads of fmall flowers of a purplifh greene colour at the firft, which turne intowhitifii greene threds af¬ 
terwards with foure round heads in the middle, wherein when they are paft grow fmall blackifh feede : the 
vim a roote is fomewhat great and white, and not petifliing : Clujim faith hee found another fort hereof, with white 
flowers and woolly leaves. 
6 . Lychnis fjheflris vifcvfa rtthra anguftifoli*. The red Germane Catchfiie. 
The red germane Catchfiie fendeth forth from the roote divers long and narrow darke greene leaves, pointed 
at the ends, fomewhat rough or rugged, and not fully fmooth as many other forts are, which lye upon the ground, 
and from among them rife up two or three, and fometimesbutonebrowne fialke, a yard high bearing two fmall 
leaves at the joynts, which are much feparateone from another, and which will bee clammy like the other, in 
the hot Summer time : the flowers haveno lent and (land almofi from the middle oftheftalke^ upwards, on long 
branches divers fet together, every one by it felfe, upon a fmall footeftalke, of a lively deepe red colour, almofi 
like the (ingle red Rofc Campion, made offive round leaves, parted in the middle, witha paler red circle at the 
botrome, fet in greene huskes, fmaller at the bottome and larger at the head, wherein after the flowers are 
fallen, the feede groweth of a brownifh colour : the roote is fomewhat thicke andblackifla enduring ma¬ 
ny yeares.
