Description.
THe ordinary Sanicle sendeth forth many great round Leavs standing upon long brownish stalkes, every one somewhat deep∣ly cut or divided into five or six parts, and some of those also cut in, somwhat like the Leaf of a Crowfoot, or Doves-foot, and fine∣ly dented about the edges, smooth, and of a dark green shining colour, and somtimes red∣dish about the Brims, from among which ri∣seth up smal round green Stalks without any Joynt or Leaf thereon, saving at the top, where it brancheth forth into Flowers, having a Leaf devided into three or four parts at that Joynt with the Flowers, which are smal and whit, starting out of smal round greenish yel∣low heads, many standing together in a tuft; in which afterward are the Seeds contained, which are smal round rough Burs, somwhat like the Seeds of Cleavers, and stick in the same manner upon any thing that they touch: The Root is composed of many black strings or fibres set together, at a little long head, which abideth with the green Leavs all the Winter and perish not.
