Eruca marina . Sea Rocket. 
F the Sea Rockets there are three or foure forts, with notable differences as you may perceive in 
the fucceeding Chapter. 
1. Eruca marina Angltca, F.nghjb Sea Rocket. 
The English Sea Rocket ("for fo I call it for diftinflions fake, and that this fort and none of the 
j other groweth on our coafts,although it grow in other countries al(o)hath divers ftalkes.fome tray- 
iingupon thc^round others Handing more upright (but brought into Gardens it fomewhat varieth the face both 
in if alkcs and leaves) fcatttringly fct with final 1 long leaves thereon waved as it were on the edges like Ground- 
fell or Rocket (bntlonge, and leffer in the Garden) at the toppes of the (hikes grow the flowers, of a pale pnr- 
plilh colour of the fafhion of theflowers ofRaddifh compofed of foure leaves, after which come feede fafhioned 
like a wheate Come (fuch alfo it beareth in the Garden ) but greater, which are fomewhat fpongie and not 
fohd.not two joyned together as it is fet do wne to have by the Sea fide,but every feede Angle by it felfe. 
2. Erucamaritima Cretica. Candy Sea Rocket. 
The Sea Rocket of Candy hath divers fhort and narrow rough greene leaves next the roote, cut and divided on 
the edges into fmall parts: the ftalkcs are ftraked and crooked about halfe a foote long bearing flowers’at the 
toppes(which Bauhinut who giveth usthe knowledge thereofhath not fet downe)but if it be the fame that Lug- 
dunenfis fetteth forth by the name of Eruca maritima, which as he laith CMjconut fent out of Spainc as I am ve¬ 
rily perfwaded it is, it hath pnrplifh flowers,and three fquare pods with feede,and after them divers rough croo¬ 
ked and joynted pods three or foure inches long,containing fmall reddifh feede : the plant is hoary all over both 
fialkes and leaves,
