firft hath the firft leaves that fpring up, nothing lo 
much cut in or divided as the others that follow, but ra¬ 
ther fomewhat refembling the leaves of Groundfell, 
and are roughly dented abont the edges, the next are 
very much cut and divided into many l'mall parts fome¬

points whereofare purplilb, confiding of five leaves, 
of a purplilh blew colour as the border, and many pur- 
plifh thrums in the middle, fome whitifh threads alfo

heads is like the leede of a Iacea or Knapweede or
