Description.
There is also another sort called Dutch Scur∣vy-Grass,
which is most known and frequent
in Gardens, which hath diverse fresh green,
and almost round Leaves rising from the
Root, nothing so thick as the former, yet in
some rich ground, very large, even twice so
big as others, not dented about the edges,
nor hollow in the middle, every one standing
upon a long Footstalk: from among these rise
up divers long slender weak Stalks higher than
the former, and with more white Flowers at
the tops of them, which turn into smaller pods,
and smaller brownish Seed than the former:
The Root is white, smal, and threddy: The
tast of this is nothing Salt ar all, but hath an
hot Aromatical spicy tast.
