HVmlock in Gréeke is called Koneion. With the Egyptians Apemphi, in Latine Ci∣cu••a. It hath his stalk and stem like Fennell.
His flower is white. His séede like Anise seede, but more white. It is one of those kinds of Plantes which destroye and kill as soone al∣most as it is taken. Wherewith as we reade Socrates the good Philosopher died forthwith, after that he had bene once caused and compel∣led of malicious Iudges to take y• Cup wher∣in the iuice hereof was poured, and so to drink it off. Diascorides sayth it killeth through ex∣tréeme colde, vanquishing and extinguishing all naturall heate.
