Description.
THis riseth up with many brownish, red,
tender and weak, clear, and almost tran∣sparent
stalks about two foot high, upon
which grow at the several Joynts, two Leavs
somwhat broad and long, of a dark green co∣lour,
which afterwards turn brownish, smooth
on the edges, but rough and hairy as the Stalks
are also At the Joynts with the Leavs from the
middle of the stalks upwards, wher it spreadeth
into some branches, stand many smal pale, pur∣plish
Flowers, in hairy rough Heads or Husks;
after which come smal black and rough Seed,
which will stick to any cloth or Garment that
shall touch it. The Root is somwhat long
with many smal Fibres thereat, of a dark red∣dish
colour, which abideth the Winter, al∣though
the Stalks and Leavs perish and spring
afresh every yeer.
