The Names. 
TheGreekes call it aav*©-, and the Latines alfo Daucns,Daueuth and Daucium. Diofcondcs made threeforte 
thereof the fird lie named Creticus the lecond Selinoides that is with leaves like Parfley, and the third with leaves 
like Coriander which feverall forts hath caufed many learned men to (uppole divers herbes to be the fame,which 
are fince lound much differing, and yet the certainetic of the two lafl is not fully allured, but thatdome doe jultly 
quedion thofe are held to be the trued, For as for the fird it is in thefe times,and fohath bcene for a good while 
in Itali France Germany,&c. well knowne and onely ufed now a dayes in all the compofitions wherein Dawns 
is appointed to be put: whereas formerly the common wilde Carrot (which is in mod things like the manured, 
except the roote which is more hard and wooddy.and more phyflcall and not edible as it lsj was wholly uled of 
all inflead of the tr e (Wykinde -.but to come to the declaration ot thefe here fet downe. The fird is now well 
knowne to be the true Damns Creiicm of Dkfcorides. as Label,CMatthiolm, Gefner and others have oblerved it 
and fo fet it downe: the fecond alto is acknowledged to be fo like the fird, that the climate and country onely 
maketh the difference as I favd before, and fo lay Gefner,Camerarins,Label and others .- the third and fourth 1 have 
fhewed in their deferiptions to whom they belong and how they called them : theififus diverfly named, for Tra¬ 
ms Jn H Matthiolsts call it Diofcondcs his fecond Damns, and Dedonaus the other kmde olLibanotisol Diofcon- 
%, afi d Theopbraflns, Camcrarins ,Gcfner and Fuehfius to be Sefeli Peloponenfe, Label faith It is Saxifragia Veneto. 
rn.m and Chaus as 1 l'ayd giveth the figure of this for his Sefeli montanum alteram, whofe defcription doth ex- 
nreffc the next or fixt here fet downe, which Bautinas in his PoM.ventinaleth Dancm montamts apy folioalbicans, 
but I have for the neare refcmblance unto the former S elinoides called it maximus,beemk it.is greater then it: 
the feventhis expred to be from Honorius Bellies of Candy, as it is fet downe in Ills fird Eplftlc to ( //{J 5 «i,and by 
Dona in his Italian Baldsss in the fame words: the eighth and ninth are remembed onely by Bautinas In his Dsnax 
and deferibed in his Prodramus, the foure next unto them are expreffed in their titles or deferiptions as milch as is 
fit for them : the fourteenth is as I (ayd in the citlc cailed Buninm Dalcchampy by Lugiunenfis. which Bauhtnus 
caileth as it is in the title alfo Daucus petrofelini velctrriandr folio : but concerning this Bttmutm 1 mult iay tome- 
thing thereof here as I promifed before in the Chapter of Bulbocafianum, that is to (hew you that this Bnntum 
Da/echampy is referred by Bautinas to the kindes of Dancus, the delcription and figure thereof are both to an- 
fwerable thereunto: but yet I mud withall give you my opinion thereof which is,that I thinke this herbe is rather 
forced then yelding freely of it felfe to take upon it this title, the compofure of the defcription being to punttu- 
ally applved to every part of Diofiorides his defcription moving that doubt in me:> et I would bee loth to dero¬ 
gate eyther from the accurate judgement orfinceritie of fo learned an Herbarid as DalccbattJfimWZSy e ra ~ 
bians call it Danco and Giezar, the Italians and all other nations doe for the mod part follow the Latme as neare 
as their Dialeft will permit,or ellc following the French Carol Savage as fame doe with us, to call them wilde 
Carots.or rather as is more fit Dauke according to the Latine,becaule there is another herbe more properly cal¬ 
led Wilde Carrot, ‘
