grtimfetidum : thefift Bauhirws tilth was fentby the name of Bricorrves, andthat Alfinut called it ‘Pfeudoifati, 
but calleth it himfelfe Mjagrum monofpermon latifolium : the fixt he alio calleth CMyagrum mmofyermdn minut - ! 
the laft Bauhims faith grew With his brother Iobx Bemhinut at Mount Belgrade by the name of a Myogram, and 
therefore he calleth it CMyagro fmiltifiliyHa rotunda, but faith ir was called a Lepidmm at Mompcher' andthat if 
Doftor Doldim fent it him from Norimberge by the name of TblaSfi. 
The Vertues, 
The oylinefle of the fcede of Mjagrum ferveth as Diofcorides faith,to make the skinne fmooth that is ru^ed in 
any part of the body, and Galen faith that the feede being oyJy hath an emplafticke or clammy quality therein 
Flmy faith and RueUiw as it fnould fceme from him, that the oyle thereof helpeth the Vlcers of the mouth if it : 
be therewith annointed : the oyle of the feede is of much ufe in Germany and other places where they fow^a- 
ny fields therewith,and is ufedaslfaid both for the poore mens tables and rich mens Lampes, and ferveth alfo >i 
withalyemadeofafliesto makeSope, for which purpofes it is moftufed; the oyle thereof being as I faid fo i| 
like unto the true oyle of Sefamnm being hoc and caufing third: if it bee drunke as the true oyle of Sefamum doth, J 
may fafely be ufed in the dead thereof, and no doubt will perforate the like effcfts or very neere that the true 
oyle will. The fecond fort is in qualitie very nearc the former, and although the herbe as the feede alfo while 
K is greene,is fo bitter that no creature will tade thereof, yet when they are dry they loofe their bitterneffe, and 
the feede efpecially bccommeth fofweete as no other can bee more acceptable to fmall birds as Linets, Finches 
and the like to feede upon : the third being called in many places Worme feede, and I thereupon calling it 
liflj Worme feede, but by Gerard Treakle Worme feede is much ufed by the coumrey people where it 
groweth to kill the wormes in children, the feede being a little bruifed and given in drinkeor any other way. 
The other lores 1 have not knowne to be ufed to any purpofe,either inward or outward for meate or medicine and 
therefore let this fuffice untill we can underdand with what vertues they are endued to be related.

Cepacenm genus. The fharpe Onion rooted kindes.' 
Ep£, c Porrum, /4//zww,Onions,Leekesand Garlicke as under one kind, are to be referred unto this Claflis, 
of many whereof I have amply entreated in my former booke, of which l Jihall fay little here, but of 
fome others not there fpecified, namely of other fundry forts of Garlickc, yet Ithinke good to recite 
fome of the names of the other,and give you fome of their Figures. 
Of Onions(comming very likely of the Latine ^«iojbecaufe the roote is fingle, not giving off>fets or encreafe 
as other bulbous rootes doe) there is the ordinary round 
white one, the flat and the long both fharpe and fweete, 
and the greater and letter red flat, fome onely on the out- 
fide,others red quite through: the Squill or Sea Onion,I 
have there die wed to be no Onion*. Of the ordinary fort 
ofLeekes,there is a greater and a letter, called Ampelo- 
prajfum the French or Vine Lceke,Cives called Sckmo- 
frajjUm which are the fmalleft,and Scalions,accounted by 
fome, to be of the kindes of Onions rather then Leekes, 
becaufe they are called C e ? £ Afcalonica , or Afealonitides 9 
and may be the Gethyum of Tbeophraflus , which fome call 
Getbyllis , hobel taketh it to b zBulbus Setanim of Theo- 
phraftu* and Tliny. Eefides thefe, Lobel mentioneth a

Crow Garlicke. 
The Crow or wilde Garlicke is of two forts, each of 
them hath fundry narrow long leaves like grade, the one 
fofter, and the other differ and harder,from among which 
rife up one or two (lender bareftalkes, bearing a tufc of 
purplifh flowers, and blackifh feede after them :the roote 
is long and round with three coates, or feverall peelings^
