This living or ever greene plant is here thruft in the 
end of a Chapter, which Ithmkedidnever pleafehis

feeing it hath taken the like place before, let me alfo

forth many leaves next the roote, fomewhat like unto 
Dailie leaves, but much lefle, of a whitifh greene co¬ 
lour, and fet upon long footefialkes, among which rile 
the (lender l'moeth ftalkcs a fpanne long, divided into 
many long branches, fet with a few long and narrow 
leaves and finall white flowers of four e leaves apeece 
at the roppes.which are followed by very (lender, and 
narrow long pods containing very finall reddifh feed.- 
the roote conrinucth and holdeth the lower greene 
leaves all the winter. 
The Place and Time,

Ha,cytiia, and flower when the reft doe. 
T he Names, 
The names ofthefeareliltewife mentioned by Tauhixui ^ho hath given them the fame titles that they are hers 
fet downc,yet I take the fecond to be called by Antonio Donati £rica marina Thymefolia. 
The Verities,

V the forts of Orchidei there are filch a number that to avoide confafion, -and to bring them into 
fome methodical 1 order,! muft diftinguifh them by feverall Rankes or Orders, that is unto thole 
that have round roores,andintorhofethathavchanded rootes, many lorts whereofhave bcene 
called Satyrinm by divers but erronioufly, and therefore to avoide that Rocke, 1 would bring you 
into the fafe Haven, where you may be alfured that thole rootes which are properly and iruely 
the Satyrion of Diofcoridcs,irt thofe which we ufually call in thefe dayes Talipa , as 1 have (hew¬ 
ed in my former Booke (although Mr. Iohnfon in his Gerard feemeth not to take knowledge thac I had there fo 
declared it before; but delivereth it as it it were the unite of his owne travels) whereof this age hath produced 
filch an infinite variety,both for time offiowring, and forme of being, but in theplacing and diftinfhon of the cod 
lour efpecially, that it is I may fay almoft impofliblc to e« preffe them all. 1 will therefore here in the firft place, 
before the Orchides, but fhew you the formes and names of fome of them, and referre youto my Booke to bee 
further enformed of them. Of the round rooted kindes.fome have two rootes, fome have three, which I would!
