together at thebottomc of them, and they againe fpread 
into fmallcr I prig:, which containe five or fixe, or more rowes of ihort hollow leaves like pipes, almoft like unto

thruft it in, in the end ofthis Chapter, being a fea excreffcnce, formed like lmall round fawfers, hollowifh in the

meth fo ncere thereunto,calling it Cotyledon foliofum marinum & Ymbilicru marinm Monfpelienfrbm : but Cefal- 
pinM it feemeth gave it a truer name,calling it Punyw marinue minimur. For it can no way agree in my judgement 
unto the Anrlroface of Diifcorider, if we will belceve he knew the thing he wrote of, for he faith, it hath noleafe 
but a huske with feede in it.ar.d doth appropriate whereunto both buske and feede is good,but this plant hath ne¬
