The Place and Time. 
All thefe grow in the very waters,divers of them being often found in our owncland. Thefitfl whereof is the

The Names. 
1 Diofcorides and Galen call it in Greekc jxvp io<?vk\ov Myriophyllum from the abundance of leaves that it hath, even 
a million as the word importeth,and Millefolium in Latinc. Some as CMatthiolw fheweth, would referreour 
Millefolium which is a Land herbe unto thi6 Adyriopkyllon of Diofcorides y but he there fheweth their errour. 7 hc 
firft here fee forth is Afatthiolm his fitft A / fyriophy!lum y and called by D odonaui MiHejolutm aquatile } by Lobel My- 
riophyllum aut AfaratripbyHum, and by Bauhinw ^Millefolium aquaticum tembcUatumcapillacco brtviejue folio.AYt 
fecond is Cfttatthiolw his AfUlefolium aquatic urn ,fet to the Chapter cf Stratiotesfm hk D iojcoride s y which Lug- 
dunenfis calleth Stratiotes millefolium aquaticum , and Bauhinui doubteth that it was a figure made of two herbes 
and (entto Mattlnolui> for Lobel in calling it Millefolium aquaticum altcrum Coriandrifohum, doth rather referre 
it to the upper fine leaves then the lower of Coriander. The third is called by Myriophyllum aquaticum 
mint*. The fourth is the Viola aquatilis of DodonamAh^, UWjriophyUum alter*™ of \JMa‘ttbiolw and Lvgdunenfr
