2. Cedrus Phenicea folio Cuprejfi. Cyprefle-like Cedar. 
This other Cedar hath likewife a crooked (lemme feldome growing above a mans height fpread into many 
antics and fmaller branches covered with a rugged reddifh barke, the lower leaves, efpecially of a young plant

“f J. but of different kinds, which being rubbed fmell fweet and refinous: at the end of every branch commeth 
a vellowilh flower, which afterwards turncth into a round berry, greene at the firft and reddifh when itis

F * 0 2 Cedrus Pbenicea minor. The teller Cypreffe- like Cedar. 
This little Cedar is in all things like the Jaft, Jjut letter both in body and leaves,the fruit alfo is like thereun¬ 
to a- d reddifli when it is ripe^ut fmaller,even no bigger then Iuniper berries. 
5 The Place. 
Ail thefe forts grow as well on the mountaines Taurus, and Olympus t as neare tne Sea fide, and the 
mour,taines not tore from 'JMcmpchcr in N trior*, and in Naples alfo, and in Mcrmias Mauhwlm faith. 
The Time. 
They bloflome in the Spring of the yeare which foone fall away , the fruit followeth but will not bee ripe un¬ 
till the next yeare after,the fit ft fpringing like herein unto the Iuniper. 
The Names. 
The firft is called in Greeke x) KiePp©- jwkU, Oxycedrus and Cedrus Lycia, of fome Cedrus baccifera 
a „d minor Phanice* to put a difference betwcenc it and the great Cedrus, which is c vMzdJPhdmcea alfo,, and coni-

TheVertues.
