Description.
THe Root creepeth under ground far and
neer, with many Joynts therein, of a brown
colour on the outside and yellowish within,
shooting forth in diverse places many weak
round Stalks, full of Joynts, set with two
Leaves apiece at every one of them on the
contrary side, which are ribbed somwhat like
unto Plantane, and fashioned like the com∣mon
field white Campion Leaves, seldom
having any Branches from the sides of the
Stalks, but set with diverse Flowers at the top
standing in long Husks like the wild Campi∣ons,
made of five Leavs apiece, round at the
ends, and a little dented in the middle, of a
pale Rose colour, almost white, somtimes dee∣per,
and somtimes paler, of a reasonable good
scent.
