a The Place. 
The firft two forts and the fixe are many times found in our medowesand other moift grounds taken by moft. 
for kinds of Hawkeweeds and fo the leffc regarded : the fourth and fift Ct/umna found on the hills m Naples ; 
the feaventh is often found in fandy grounds and by woods and hedges (ides: and the laft is thought to grow m 
the Ifland Zacyntha from whence it was brought into Italy, and thence into other parts, but Pern faith it groweth 
in clivers places in Italy. _ 
The Time. 
They doe all flower and feede about the fame time of the other Succories, except the fecond, which flowreth 
earlier then the reft. 
The Names: • 
All thefe herbes are accounted feverall forts of Succory by many writers, and fome of them (that is thofe of 
Naples as Columna faith) are ufed in the (bead of the true Succory with good fuccefle, but as I faid before they 
are but baftard forts which their feedes declare, being rather Hawkeweedes as I doe th.nke : The firft is called 
by Gefncr in ColleEtioneJlirpium Hieratiumpratenfe ajperum, by Tabermontanw and Gerard Cichonam It,team, by 
Thalins Intubm fylvejlris five Cichoriumfylvefireflerelate,. Tragus maketh it his Cubase* $prelates, and Cafal. 
ptims calleth it LaSlariola altera : the fecond is the Cicheream luteum prate,.<fe of Mel in Adverfarjs and Hechp- 
nois Plinij and esiphaca Tbeepbratti in his Obfervations, as Valechamptu, before him had done, and as Lugctu. 
nenfis fetteth is downe for AphaceValechampi ), Cefalpinus calleth it Sndivta fylvejl,- ,, and GW Densteams 
Cicberizata, nodor,am and Tabcrmontana, make it their third kind of Dens koine, and Bat,hum calleth it Ctcho- 
rium pratenfc, luteum Uvius ; the third is fufficicntly expreffed in the defeription: the fourth and fift Columna ma¬ 
keth mention of, the one under the name of Cichoriun, Pyhefire veRcarium pratenfe, and the other of Cidm w 
fylvefire afterumd'Tmieitifive Cicborium dulce, which Bauhmwi numbreth among the Sow T nifties and calleth it 
Sonchw latifolius leviter hirfum ; The fixt is Tabermontanw ninth fore of Bteracium ,which he calleth nterm- 
urn Intabaceum afterum, and Gerard Hieratium efferum : the laft was firft called by Mat thick, r ZacynthafveCi- 
choriumverrucanum and {0 doth pufi* alfo: but Label in his Obfervations, Fol. .15- (incallmg it Chondnl!., 
verrucaria, Chondrilla prior Viofcoridi: Clufi Zacyntha CMatthM) doth foulely confound the two plants of Mat. 
thiolus and CluS.ua together,for he there giveth the thicke woolly leaves of CM* his Chords .: to this Zacyntha 
of Mattbioluswhich hath greene leaves, and maketh it firft to have crefted heads of leede as the true Zacyntha 
hath, and afterwards faith the flower is yellow,&c. flying away in oowne utterly contrary.ng himfclft 1 ,which 
Clufitu tooke knowledge of and found fault with him for it, and thereupon fet forth the true figure and descrip¬ 
tion of it in his hiftory of plants t gefner in berth calleth it Verrucaria Sendsyfteciesm&Cffalpiim C o:,d r ,Usenet 
in ruderibusy whereupon Tauhinm putteth it among his ChondriUas , and calletd it QhondrtUa verrucaria folys 
Intubaceis viridibw : the Italians call it CMazzj) di Cavalliero and C Jllazza ferrata. 
The Vert tics. 
Thefe kinds of Succories except the Neapolitane and the laft are not ufed in Plryficke that I know but they 
that is the Neapolitane kinds as Column* faith are there ufed in ftead of the true Succory.being fo like it that as l 
faid in the defeription they foone deceive one, miftaking one for another yet ufed with good fuccefie whereby 
we may judge of the others not to be much differing, and therefore untd Home further and more certaine 
experience bee made of them, let this advife ferve for the prefenc. Mattbta us hath given us firft knowledge 
of the propertie of Zacyntha or warted Succory, fromCal&lariu* o'tVerona, who by praftifehad found itrobe 
availeable to take away warts from the hands by once eating the leaves as a Sallee; and Matthe w. faith that by 
his owneexperience a dram ofthe feede in powder taken for certaine dayes together... white wine to bedwards 
tooke away the warts from ones hands that was wonderfully peftcred with chem :but Pena denying that the once 
eating of the leaves will doe any good,but yet faith that if the juice of the leaves bee ufed to bathe the warts, ic 
will extirpate them moft certainely as he and divers other found by their experience, the fame alfo taken in wine 
hdpeth the biting of a mad Dog. Chap
