☽ ♋ Description.
THis groweth with many woody square
stalkes, full of Joynts about three foot
high at least, at everyone wherof stand two long
Leaves, shorter, narrower, and of a deeper green
colour than the former; and some brownish.
The stalkes are branched into many long
stemmes of spiked Flowers, half a foot long,
growing in Rundles one above another, out of
smal husks very like the Spiked heads of Laven∣der,
each of which Flowers have five round
pointed Leaves of a Purple Violet Colour,
or somwhat inclining to redness, in wch husks
stand small round heads, after the Flowers are
fallen, wherein is contained small seed:
The Root creepeth under ground like unto the
yellow, but is greater than it; and so is the
heads of the Leaves when they first appear
out of the ground and more brown than
the other.
