Description.
YHe greater sort of our English Burnet
Saxifrage groweth up with diverse long
Stalks of winged Leavs, set directly opposite
one to another on both sides, each being som∣what
broad, a little pointed and dented about
the edges, of a sad green colour. At the tops
of the Stalks stand Umbels of white Flowers,
after which comes small and blackish Seed:
The Root is long and whitish, abiding long.
Our lesser Burnet Saxifrage, hath much finer
Leaves than the former, and very smal, and
set one against another, deeply jagged about
the edges, and of the same colour as the for∣mer:
The Umbels of Flowers are white, and
the Seed very small, and so is the Root, being
also somwhat hot and quick in tast.
