¶ The Description.
1 THe great white Blite groweth three or foure foot high, with grayish or white round stalkes: the leaues are plaine and smooth, almost like to those of the white Orach, but not so soft nor mealy: the floures grow thrust together like those of Orach: after that commeth the seed inclosed in little round flat husky skinnes.
2 There is likewise another sort of Blites very smooth and flexible like the former, sauing that the leaues are reddish, mixed with a darke greene colour, as is the stalke and also the rest of the plant.
3 There is likewise found a third sort very like vnto the other, sauing that the stalkes, bran∣ches, leaues, and the plant is altogether of a greene colour. But this growes vpright, and creepes not at all.
4 There is likewise another in our gardens very like the former, sauing that the whole Plant traileth vpon the ground: the stalks, branches, and leaues are reddish: the seed is small, and cluste∣ring together, greene of colour, and like vnto those of Ruellius his Coronopus, or Bucks-horne.
