The letter (hort codded Cicheling. 
The difference beeweene this and the lait confifteth more 
in the fmallneffe then in any other thing having that the 
Lathym 1 co ds hereof have a little roughneffe on them. Wechave 
t" w “ another fmaller then the laft agreeing in moil things elie 
laving the cod which is longer and fmaller. 
° 5. Lathym major ar.^ufliffimo folio. 
Grade leafed Cicheling. 
The (hike hereof is ttenderand weake, the leaves long 
and narrower then graffe. fometimes two and lomc- 
times three together: the flowers (land each upon a (hike 
of a blewifh purp'e and fometimes reddifli, rhe fruit is 
fmall and bla. kifh contained in final! (hort coddes* croo¬

Fennell-like leafed k icheling. 
This is fmaller weaker and tenderer in all pa'ts then 
the lall. the leaves are as (mail thin and long as Fennell, 
the coddes and ftedeare like the lall oncly the flowers 
are of a pale reddifli colour. 
7. Lathjrus palujlris Lttfitanicus, 
Spanijh Marfa Cichelings. 
This in the beginning d.ffcreth little from the firtt but 
that the flowers Hand ufually two together, the outer 
[cafe of a bright purple and the middlemolt of a pale pur¬ 
ple : the cods are (lendcrer and as long as the of a 
pale colour with (mall fputted Peafe within themtur- 
ningblacke when they are dry. 
8 . Ltthyrus Btticus flore luteo. Yellow SpanijZ Cicheling. 
This Spamfi kind is in bignefi'e, forme of (hikes and leaves like the firft of thefe here fet downe, onely 
the floweis are all yellow with purple veints in them, alter which follow cods very like, and of the fame 
bhnelle with the firft, but the Peale are fmaller and rongher,or as it were netted. 
The ?lace and Time. 
All thcle (orts except the fixt (which I found in clenfing of Annefeede to ufe) grow in Spaine, and from 
thence were brought with a number ofothcr rare feedes beiidcs by CjuUIaumeToel and imparted to Mo Coyot 
Slabbers in Efex in love, as a lover of rate plants, but to me of debt, for going into Spaine almolt wholly on my 
charge hce brought tr.ee little elle for my mony, but while I bcate the bufti another catcheth and eateth the bird : 
fo while I with care and coft fowed them yearely hoping firft ro publifh them, another that never law diem un- 
leffe in my Garden, nor knew of them but by a collateral! friend, prevents me wliomthey knew had their dc- 
feriptions ready for the Preffc. 
The Names, 
Thetr feverall names are expreffed in their titles, none of them being publifhed before, except you may rc-

I have not underftood that they ferve for meate or medicines to any of the people where they are naturall: but

Chap. VI. 
Cicercula. Winged or cornered Cichelings. 
vajlfligHavcyou fee divided this Chapter from the two former, (although they may tee and are called Lathyi 
feSjlpa by many good authors)upon good grounds as I take it:for although in growing they are like Lathjrus, 
£e 3 j®> yee fome of themhave their cods winged, andothersnot winged, and all havelquareor cornered 
Peale within them: 1 ihinke therefore thefe formes doe argue a fpecificall diverficie fit to be dillin- 
gui(hed,bcing all annuall alfo. 
1. Cicerculafive Lathy utfativm flare albo. Whiteflowrcd winged Cicheling. 
This Cicheling hath weake winged ftalkes trayling on the ground if they be not helped like as all thefor- 
tr.er have, with two fmall leaves at the joynts and two other narrower leaves likewife on the branches which 
end in divided clafpers, the flowers are white that (land on long footftalkes, and after them fomewhatflat and 
Ihort cods with two little narrow filmes all along thebackeof them, the feede within them is foinewhat larger 
then the wild forts,flat white and cornered: the rooteis fmall and fibrous perifhing every yeare. 
2. Cicercula flare purpureo. Blackifh purple winged Cichelings. 
This other is in manner of growing like the former,the flowers onely and the fruit declare the difference, for
