¶ The Description.
1 COwslips of Ierusalem, or the true and right Lungwort, hath rough, hairy, and large leaues of a brown green color, confusedly spotted with diuers spots, or drops of white: a∣mongst which spring vp certaine stalkes, a span long, bearing at the top many fine floures, grow∣ing together in bunches like the floures of cow∣slips, sauing that they be at the first red, or pur∣ple, and sometimes blew, and oftentimes al these colours at once. The floures being fallen, there come small buttons full of seed. The root is blacke and threddy. ‡ This is sometimes found with white floures. ‡
2 The second kinde of Lungwort is like vn∣to the former, but greater in each respect: the leaues bigger than the former, resembling wilde Buglosse, yet spotted with white spots like the former: the floures are like the other, but of an exceeding shining red colour.
3 Carolus Clusius setteth forth a third kinde of Lungwoort, which hath rough and hairie leaues, like vnto wilde Buglosse, but narrower: among which rises vp a stalke a foot high, bea∣ring at the top a bundle of blew floures, in fa∣shion like vnto those of Buglosse or the last de∣scribed.
