high, or more or lefTe as the place where it groweth will produce, with a (mall cornered leafe like the broad lea¬ 
fed wilde Arrache, let at the joynts one above another,and at every ot the faid joynts with the lcafe from the 
loweft almoft dandeth a fmall red berry, clufter falhion, that is many fmall graynes (et together like a Mulberry, 
deare and almoft tranfparant, full of an excellent juice, as red as blood or Claret wine, which being bruiled 
upon the backeofthe hand while it is frefliwill feeme as if yophad drawnc blood out thereof 5 which berry 
being dry groweth blackifli, and containeth within it fmall blackilh feede, and will dill fpnng up every yeare 2 
if it be differed to (hed: the roote is fmall and fibrous perifhing after ieede time.

a little, whereon are placed fmall hoary or mealy leaves,no bigger then the nayle of ones finger, waved and cut 
into corners on the edges, like the wilde Arrache called Goofefoote, everyone clofing the ltalke and branenez 
without any footedalke ; at every of thefe leaves commeth forth a mod dainty broad and flat coloured mute, 
made as it were of leaves, rayfed up a little in the middle, having foure other eminences at the brims or edges, 
yet fo fet as that the brims or edges are betweene them fomevyhat like unto the folding of the leaves m a Role
