and others,whereof in neceflitie the poore are forced to make their bread, and are fowen and reaped when the 
other Pnlfes are: Some of the other wilde kinds are alfo found in woods and moift ground with us, among hed¬ 
ges and buflies ; but the Indian kind as M r . Gerard tooke it to be in (jermany as it is likely.

Lupinss. The flat Beane or Lupine. 
Aving finiflied the number of climing or ram¬ 
ping Pulfes, it remaineth to fhew you the reft 
which have no clafpersand firftto begin with 
the Lupine or flat Beane, for the great Garden 
Beane which fhould (land in the fore front I 
have (hewed you in my former Wotke with the greater 
and (mailer blew and yellow Lupine, yet I thinke it not 
amide to give you fomeof their Figures here. 
r. Lipinas fativus albus. The great white Lupine. 
1 he great white Lupine rifeth up with a ftrong upright 
round hollow foft or woolly ftalke fet confufedly with di¬ 
vers foft woolly leaves upon long footftalkes, each being 
divided into five,feaven or nine feverall parts, narrow long 
and foft, greenifli on the upper fide and woolly under- 
irteathithc maine ftalke divideth it fclfe into two parts,after 
the flowers are growen from the uppermoft joynt, and arc 
like unto the great Garden Beane but wholly white with- 
outany fpot, the branches flowring after the firft flowers 
have given (lender long foft or woolly cods, lefier then of 
the Garden Bcane,conteining within them foure or five flat 
vvhite Beanes fomewhat yellowifh within and very bitter 
in tafte: the roote is fomewhat long and hard with divers 
fibresannexed thereto perifhing yearely. 
a. Lapinas alter albus . The fpotted white Lupine. 
This other Lupine differeth from the former in the great- 
nefleandin the flower which is fpotted with blew, on 
the head of the innermoft leaves, and the hollow of the 
uppermoft. 
3 . Lupinm minimus carulem. 
The fmalleft blew Lupine. 
This fmall Lupine is very like unto the former blew Lu¬ 
pine fet forth in my former Booke, in the manner of grow¬ 
ing being little or nothing woolly alfo but fmallet both 
ftalkes and leaves, the flowers likewife are wholly blew, 
as they, or very feldome with a white fpot in it: the feeds 
is frnallcr likewife and a little fpotted.
