Thjftdwum five Apium /jlvcftre, Wilde milkie Parflfy. 
His kinde of wilde Pariley, hath fundry large (plead leaves, j? mE what reremblinggar- 
^ den Paifiey, but they are divided intomore parts, and each divifionhath fwaller leaves, 
Tbyfelimim fins dpium fylwflrt. 
from among which rifeth up an hollow 
ftfjked flalke a yard high, reddifh toward 
(Irakcd flalke a yard high, rediliih toward vvildc Milkie Parflcy. 
f/'isSKl the bottome, fometimes with the like 
Y leaves at the joynts where it bran- 
t c hcth forth diverfly, bearing large thicke 
umbells of white flowers, redd;(h on theone fide and pale 
6 n the other, and after them fat feede, fomewhat like unto 
Patineppe feede, but alittleleflehotin talle, and fomewhat aro- 
maticall, the roote fpreadeth divers long firings, blackifh with¬ 
out, but white within,and deepe into the ground, fomewhat 
like unto the Maim Spignell, and abideth many yeares. The 
whole plant and every part thereof, yeeldetha milkie juyee, if 
it be broken in any part. 
The Place and Time. 
It groweth in moifl and marihy grounds, and water-courfes, 
and much alio in the moift woods where Alders doc grow •* it 
flowreth in lane and luly, and feedeth foone after. 
The Names. 
Both Tliofcorides ZcTbcophraJlus have a etaUop ccypiov Apium 
fyluejlre, but they differ much one from another, for THojcori- 
des his is that kinde of Tanmcuhu, hee calleth Herb* Sardima 1 
but Theephreftta doth not number his among his other Selina. 
and peradventure may be this that hathbeene referred both by 1 
'Dodtmaus and Label unto the Tkytfclinum ot Pliny, which Le- 
idcsV.cih Tbyffclinon Plinij, fuppofing the name 1 hjjfelirwn, bet¬ 
ter to agree with the forme of this plant as comining neeteflto 
a Selimm, hut howfoever if it be not the fame with Tliny his 
Thyjfclimm itcommeth foneare it, that no other is yet found 
fo neate, efpecially in the forme of the leafe and property of the 
roote as you fhall heare by and by; Lobel and ‘Dodonaw doc 
both: y that this was in former times ufed in all ihefhoppesof 
the Low Countries in (lead of Meum. taking it to be the right; 
and theiefore Dodoneus did alfo call it Apium (ylveftre ts Lug- 
dunenfis doth likewife; Cjefner in Isortu callcth it Daucus palu- 
flris, and Cordiu in bifloria Olfenichium from the german word 
Ofenich, whereby they fo called it; Batihinus calleth it Apium 
fjtveftre LPleo fneco turyens ; and thereupon I haveentitulcd it 
in Englijh, Wild milkie Parfley.to dillinguiih it from other forts of wilde Paifiey. 
The Vertues . 
The roote hereof is hot and drie in the third degree, which being chewed in the mouth, draweth downe much 
flegme from the head to be fpit out, and eafeth the tooth ach : and this quality, Pliny faith, the roote of his Thjf- 
fehtim is endued withall: the other properties appropriate to the other kinds of Apium are no doubt to be found 
herein, and that to no leffc effeft, as both to extenuate, cut, and open, and to provoke urine, and womens 
courfes
