The root is thicke and knob∣bie, being of smell delightfull & pleasant
2 The second Sampier called 〈◊〉〈◊〉 marina, or Sea Parsnep, hath long fat leaues, very much iagged or cut euen to the middle rib, sharpe or prickley poin∣ted, which are set vpon large fat iointed stalks; on the top whereof do grow 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of whitish, or els reddish floures. The seed is wrapped in thornie huskes. The root is thick and long, not vnlike to the Parsnep, very good and wholesome to be eaten.
