SPikenarde sayth Plinie, giueth name to many kinds. Spica nardi or Spikenarde, is onely supposed to come out of Indie. It is so called saith Isidor, for that his leaf is gathered swimming aloft in the flouds, and streames of Indie, without eyther roote or stalke. Which leafe they finding, doe pierce and prick it, and do lay it vp to drie. They say that there is a leaf in Paradice much like to this Mardus. There
is one growing also in Indie, another in Si∣ria. This last being kept awhile in the mouth dryeth vp the tongue and saliuous humor.
