¶ The Description.
1 SVn-Dew is a little herb, and groweth very low, it hath a few leaues standing vpon 〈◊〉〈◊〉 stems, very small, something round, a little hollow, and like an eare picker, hairy and red∣dish as be also the stems, hauing dew and moisture vpon them at the driest time of the yeare, and when the Sun shineth hottest euen at high noone; and a moneth after there spring vp lit∣tle stalks, a hand breadth high, on which stand small whitish floures: the roots are very slender, and like vnto haires.
2 The second kinde is like vnto the former, in stalks and floures, but larger, and the leaues are longer, and not so round, wherein consisteth the difference.
