1 ROse Bay is a small shrub of a gallant shew like the Bay tree, bearing leaues, thicker, greater, longer and rougher than the leaues of the Almond tree: the floures be of a faire red colour, diuided into fiue leaues, not much vnlike a little Rose: the cod or fruit is long, like 〈◊〉〈◊〉, or Vincetoxicum, and full of such white downe, among which the seed lieth hid∣den: the root is long, smooth, and wooddie.
2 The second kinde of Rose bay, is like the first, & differeth in that, that this plant hath white floures; but in other respects it is very like.
