Description.
THis sendeth forth 7. 8. or 9. Leaves
from a smal brownish creeping Root, e∣very
one standing upon a long Footstalk,
which are almost as broad as long, round
pointed, of a sad green colour and hard in
handling, and like the Leaf of a Pear-tree,
from whence ariseth a slender weak Stalk, yet
standing upright, bearing at the top many
smal, white and sweet smelling Flowers, laid
open like a Star, consisting of five round poin∣ted
Leavs, with many yellowish threds stan∣ding
in the middle, about a green Head, and
a long stile with them, which in time groweth
to be the Seed Vessel, which being ripe is
found five square with a smal point at it, weer∣in
is contained Seed as small as dust.
