The Names. 
The Greekes «lW °r tef 9 »/asr,or Galens xfWy or, 9n d the 
J.atines Crithmum, is generally not onely given to the two 
fird forts here let forth, but to the two latter forts alfo, of 
which errour Matthiolm is the Kill Authour as I take it. 
and from him all others have deduced the title t but Lahe't 
apd LnetUnenfis firll put in the doubt, and expolcd another 
herbe,that did more rightly as he faith, agree to Die/cm- 
d:s hisdefeript on of Crithmum then this, namely thePcr- 
tti\&ca maHna, for as he faith,this hath no refemblance with 
the Crithmttm of Tiofccndcs, which he writeth hath whi¬ 
ter and broade, leaves then Purflane.and fuch faith he hath the PortuUca marina, but fuch hath not this Crithmum 
hut very greene.and noth.ng fo large as Purflanc,and may more fitly he called, even as tl e ve. y ommon fo”t of 
peop'c doe Tcemcnlnm martnum^ Fenneh, for lo in the umbels and whole (ace thereof it doth affimdate a Fen 
ncll: but ,11 may be lo bold to fcanne Doftor Label his Crithmum, I beleeve it will be found as defeSive infome' 
other part as the former. for although Vertulac A marine agreeth with Thofcorides his Crithmum in the leaves ver 
it doth not lo in the feede,wherein ,t mud alfo agree if it be the right: but the Iced of FortuUca ™ifla 
hke an Arrach .and hath not intit a kernelllike wheate, as Diafcaridts defeription doth enforce it, and thetefoie 
we may conclude that neither tht. nor that doth anlwe, Dicfandes his Text in all points: this is therefore more 
p op^rly to be called Fasmculum marinum <, untifl it can be better determined whetcunto it may be appropriate •
