¶ The Names.

1 This by a generall consent of 〈◊〉〈◊〉, Anguillara, Lobell, &c. is iudged to be the Arabis, or Draba of the Ancients.

2 Draba alter a of Clusius.

3 Draba tertia succulento folio, of Clusius: Eruca Muralis of Daleschampius.

4 This by Camerarius is set forth vnder the name of Arabis quorundam, and he affirmes in his Hor. Med. that he had it outof 〈◊〉〈◊〉 vnder the name of Solidago; The which is very likely, for without doubt this is the very plant that our Author mistooke for Solidago 〈◊〉〈◊〉; for he bewraies himselfe in the Chap∣ter of Epimedium, whereas he saith it hath cods like Sarraccens Consound; when as both he, and all other giue no cods at all to Sarracens Consound. My very good friend M^r. Iohn Good∣yer was the first, I thinke, that obserued this mistake in our Author; for which his obseruation, to∣gether with some others formerly and hereafter to be remembred, I acknowledge my selfe behol∣den to him.
