¶ The Description.
1 LAurus Tinus, or the wilde Bay tree, groweth like a shrub or hedge bush, hauing many tough and pliant branches, set full of leaues very like to the Bay leaues, but smaller and more crumpled, of a deepe and shining greene colour: among which come forth tufts of whitish floures, turning at the edges into a light purple: after which follow small 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of a blew colour, containing a few graines or seeds like the stones or seeds of grapes: the leaues and all the parts of the plant are altogether without smell or sauour.
2 Tinus Lusitanica groweth verie like to Cornus Foemina, or the Dog-berry tree, but the branches be thicker, and more stiffe, couered with a reddish barke mixed with 〈◊〉〈◊〉: the leaues are like the former, but larger, hauing many sinewes or vaines running through the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 like as in the leaues of Sage: the floures hereof grow in tufts like the precedent, but they are of colour 〈◊〉〈◊〉 declining to purple: the small branches are likewise of a purple colour: the leaues haue no smell 〈◊〉〈◊〉 all, either good or bad: the berries are smaller than the former, of a blew colour declining to blacknesse.
