1 SOme Herbarists call this plant by the name of Sanicula angustifolia, making thereof two kinds, and distinguishing them by these termes, maior & minor, siue media: others cal them Paralytica alpina, which without controuersie are kindes of Cowslips, agreeing with them as well in shape, as in their nature and vertues, hauing leaues much like vnto Cowslips, but smaller,
growing flat vpon the ground, of a faint greenish colour on the vpper side, & vnderneath of a white or 〈◊〉〈◊〉 colour: among which rise vp small and tender stalkes of a foot high, hauing at the top of euery stalke a bush 〈◊〉〈◊〉 small floures in shape like the common Oxlip, sauing that they are of a faire stammell colour tending to purple: in the middle of euery small floure appeareth a little yel∣low spot, resembling the eye of a bird; which hath moued the people of the North parts (where it aboundeth) to call it Birds eyne. The seed is small like dust, and the root white and threddy.
2 The second is like the first, sauing that the whole plant is greater in each respect, and that the floures are of a whitish colour.
