¶ The Place.
The first yellow Lysimachia groweth plentifully in moist medewos, especially along the me∣dowes as you go from Lambeth to Battersey neere London, and in many other places throughout England.
‡ The second and third I haue not yet seene.
The fourth groweth in many gardens. ‡
The fift groweth in places of greater moi∣sture, yea almost in the running streames and standing waters, or hard by them. It groweth vnder the Bishops house wall at Lambeth, neere the water of Thames, and in moist ditches in most places of England.
The sixth groweth neere the waters (and in the waters) in all places for the most part.
The seuenth groweth in Yorkshire in a place called the Hooke, neer vnto a close called a Cow pasture, from whence I had these plants, which doe grow in my garden very goodly to behold, for the decking vp of houses and gardens.
‡ The eighth I haue not yet found growing.
The ninth growes wild in some places of this kingdome, but I haue seene it only in Gardens.
The tenth growes by the ponds and waters sides in Saint Iames his Parke, in Tuthill fields and many other places. ‡
The eleuenth groweth hard by the Thames, as you goe from a place called the Diuels Nec∣kerchiefe to Redreffe, neere vnto a stile that stan∣deth in your way vpon the Thames banke, a∣mong the plankes that doe hold vp the same banke. It groweth also in a ditch side not farre from the place of execution, called Saint Tho∣mas Waterings.
‡ The other varieties of this grow in wet places, about ditches, and in woods and such like moist grounds. ‡
