Fromthe likencffe as I faid unto both Cyperus and Grade in leaves of rootes.be all thefe forts entituled Cys- 
rcidca Gramma. The fird whereof is the Gramm (yperoides of Lobel,Camerariue and others, Tauhinm taketh'ir 
to be the qramini, quartamgenus of Tragus, which Lugdunenfts calleth Carex Tragi: buc in that Tragus faith hi<- 
groweth in dry landy grounds and fieldes, and having"the fpiked heads more difperfed then that of Lobel, I prel 
fume they cannot be both one plant. The fecondisby Bauhinut called qramen Cyperotdes angnft,folium hie* Rue.
