¶ The Place.

These plants do grow at the bottome of Elme trees, and such like, in shadowie places: I found it growing in a lane called East-lane, vpon the right hand as ye go from Maidstone in Kent vnto Cockes Heath, halfe a mile from the towne; and in other places thereabout: it doth also grow in the fields about Croidon, especially about a place called Groutes, being the land of a worshipfull Gentleman called M^r. Garth: and also in a wood in Kent neere Crayfoot, called Rowe, or Rough∣hill: 〈◊〉〈◊〉 groweth likewise neere Harwood in Lancashire, a mile from Whanley, in a wood called Talbot banke.
