‡ This plant by Gesner was called Stachys palustris, and Betonica faetida, and thought to be of the kinde of Herba 〈◊〉〈◊〉, or Sideritis; to which indeed I should, and Thaltus hath refer∣red it, calling it Sideritis 1. grauis odoris: Caesal∣pinus calls it Tertiola; and giues this reason, quod Tertianas sanet, because it cures Tertians. Tabernamontan. called it Stachys aquatica, whose figure with a description our Authour in the former edition gaue, pag. 565. by the name of Marrubium aquaticum acutum; yet (as it 〈◊〉〈◊〉) either not knowing, or forgetting what he had formerly done, he here againe setteth it forth as a new thing, vnder another title: but the former figure of Tabern. being in my iudg∣ment the better, I haue here giuen you, with addition of the iointed tuberous roots as they are in Winter: yet by the Caruers fault they are not altogether so exquisitely exprest as I intended. ‡
