¶Of Platano. cap. 119.
* 1.1PLatanus is a tree and hath that name ••so•• the leaues therof no plaine, broad, and large for plaine is Plantes in Gréek, as Isidore sayth libro. 17. Holye Writ speaketh of the vertues therof, and saith, As a Plane arcared Eccl. 14. The leaues thereof is softe and tender, and lyke to vine leaues, as Dioscorides saith. And he ••••eth•• that the plane is a colde tree and dre〈…〉〈…〉 the leaues thereof healeth in hot co〈…〉〈…〉 for it destroyeth reume, and hotte 〈…〉〈…〉olling of the oyen. And the decoction both of rindes and leaues, healeth ach of the teeth, and other bones, as it is said, & hath vertue to heale sharpe and sower euills. And so it is said, that it helpeth to ease scalding & burning if it be laid ther∣to, with other things that easeth. Broath thereof if it be sodde in wine helpeth a∣gainst venime. Plinius libro. 12. cap. 3. praiseth it.
(* 1.2Plaine trée, is called the Marris El∣der, Oyle, or dwarffe plane trée, the flow∣ers white, the berries red shining. Also Platanus is of another sorte, whereof some grow in England. The fruite of this trée dronke with wine, helpeth them that are bitten of Serpents, the fruit is round, rough, and woolly, of the quanti∣tie of a Filbert.)
