Fluellin.
Description.
THis shooteth forth many long Branches partly lying upon the Ground, and part standing upright, set with almost round Leavs, yet a little pointed, and somtimes more long than round, without order theron, somwhat hoary, and of an evil greenish white colour; at the Joynts all along the Stalks, and with the Leavs come forth smal Flowers one at a place, upon a very small short Footstalk, gaping somwhat like Snapdragons, or rather like Toadflax, with the upper Jaw of a yellow co∣lour, and the lower of a Purplish, with a smal heel or Spur behind, after which come small round Heads, containing smal black Seed. The Root is smal and threddy, dying every yeer, and raiseth it self again of its own sow∣ing.
There is another sort of Lluellin which hath longer Branches wholly trailing upon the ground two or three foot long, and somtimes more, thinner set with Leavs theron, upon smal Footstalks: The Leaves are a little lar∣ger and somwhat round, and cornered som∣times in some places on the edges; but the lo∣wer part of them being the broadest, hath on each side a smal point, making it seem as if they were Ears, somwhat hairy but not hoary, and of a better green colour than the former; The Flowers come forth like the former, but the colours therein are more white than yellow, and the Purple not so fair: It is a larger Flo∣wer, and so are the Seed, and Seed Vessels: The Root is like the other, and perisheth eve∣ry yeer.
