former, and more pale, the Peafe and cods, likewile notdiffering in forme but much Idle,the route abiding many 
ycares. Gf thiskmde there is another found to grow fomewhat larger.

5. Vifum aliudmiriiimum Britanicum, Suffolk^ SeaPeafe. 
This kinde of Sea Peafe hath aftallteofatrianguler forme lull of joynrs, bending to the ground, with two 
leaves at every joynt, branched forth in divers places with winged leaves at them, confiding 0 f tenne or twelve 
darke greene leaves, let by couples on a middle ribbe, with a fmall clalper at the end, each leafe being not much 
unlike unto the Sea Putflane : the flowers grow towards the toppes of rhebranches, eight or tenne let together 
in a clufter, upon a fmall long ftalke, which both for forme and colour are very like to the wilde Peafe, but with 
a whiteneffein the middle when it is full b!owen,the fiuit that followed: is lelfer than the common field Peafe., 
ror.taining eight or tenne Peafe in a cod, each whereof hath the whi teneffe called the eye. comparing halfe the 
Peafe like a femicircle, which being ripe and drie, are of a darkifh colourthe roote’ runneth downe in- 
creedible deepe into the ground, and Ipreading infinitely therein, even two fathome deepe, at the lead, within 
the very ftones and baich of the Sea fyet about a yard or more deepe, there is found Pome iimd wherein it fprea- 
doth)and is not great but (lender pliant and flexible, not fweete, but bitter as the whole plant is, and the Peafe al- 
fo: the old ftalkes die every yeare, and from the old head will fhoote many long white tendiells like the roote 
of the fmall Bindeweede whereby it encreafeth wonderfully, and not by the feede, as I am perlwadcd, for that 
the fhingleforbiddeth their growth falling thereon, in not having any nourifhment or moiftureof (and, before 
one digger t<ho or three foote deepe, and the birds for the moft part devoure them up. I have alfo put lom.e of the 
Peafe into the ground of my Carden, but none would fpring.
