¶ The Description.
1 THis kinde of wilde Woade hath fat long leaues like Valeriana rubra 〈◊〉〈◊〉, or 〈◊〉〈◊〉 rubrum: the stalke is small and tender, hauing thereupon little purple floures consi∣sting of foure leaues; which being past, there come square cornered huskes full of round blacke seed like Coleworts.

The root is small and full of fibres.
