¶ The Names.
It is called Aconitum hyemale, or 〈◊〉〈◊〉, or winter Aconite: that it is a kinde of Aconite or Woolfs-bane, both the form of the leaues and cods, and also the dangerous faculties of the herbe it selfe do declare.
It is much like to Aconitum Theophrasti: which he describeth in his ninth booke, say∣ing, it is a short herbe hauing no 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, or su∣perfluous thing growing on it, and is with∣out branches as this plant is: the root, saith he, is like to 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 or to a nur, or els to 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, a dry fig, onely the lease seemeth to 〈◊〉〈◊〉 it, which is nothing at all like to that of Succorie, which he compareth it vnto.
