like those of the Chast tree, green on the vpper side, and on the nether side white and dow∣ny; and in the euening about the setting of the Sun they hang flagging downwards as though they were withered: among these there commeth vp a tuft of floures of a pale or light blush colour, which turne into great rough cods, wherein is the fruit, which is flat and round like a cake, of a white co∣lour, and bitter in taste: and where they cleaue vnto the cod, in that part they haue a certaine dent like a little nauell. This Lupine hath but one root, which is slender and wooddie, hauing hanging on it a few small threds like haires.
2 The yellow Lupine is like to the garden one in stalke and leaues, yet both of these lesser and shorter. It hath beautifull floures of an exceeding faire gold yellow colour, sweet of smell, made vp into an eare, of the colour of the yellow violet, and somewhat of the smell: the coddes are small, hard, somew hat hairy: the seeds be little, flat, 〈◊〉〈◊〉, in taste ex treme bitter, of sundry colours, ill fauored, far lesser than the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 one.
3 The blew Lupines are longer than the yellow, and diuided into more wings and branches: the leaues be lesser and thinner: the floures small, and lesser than the yellow, of a blew colour: the seeds be also of diuers colours, bitter, and lesser than any of them all.
‡ 4 There is also another blew Lupine, whose leaues, stalks, floures, and cods are like, but lar∣ger than those of the first described: the floures are of colour blew, with some whitenesse here and there intermixt. ‡
