¶ The Description.

THe yellow Mallow riseth vp with a round stalke, something hard or wooddie, three or foure cubits high, couered with broad leaues something round, but sharpe pointed, white, soft, set with very fine haires like to the leaues of gourds, hanging vpon long tender footstalks: from the bosome of which leaues come forth yellow floures, not vnlike to those of the com∣mon Mallow in forme: the knops or seed ves∣sels are blacke, crooked, or wrinckled, made vp of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 small cods, in which is black seed: the root is small, and dieth when it hath perfected his seed.
