Description.
THe Roots of common Spignel do spread much and deep in the ground, many strings or branches growing from one Head which is hairy at the top, of a blackish brown colour on the outside and white within, smel∣ling well, and of an Aromatical tast, from whence rise sundry long stalks of most fine cut Leaves like hairs smaller than Dill, set thick on both sides of the Stalks, and of a good scent. Among these Leaves rise up round stif stalks, with few Joynts and Leaves at them, and at the tops an Umbel of fine pure white Flowers, at the edges whereof somtimes will be seen a shew of reddish blush colour, especi∣ally before they be full blown, and are succee∣ded by smal somwhat round Seed, bigger than the ordinary Fennel, and of a browner colour, devided into two parts, and crested on the back, as most of the Umbelliferous Seeds are.
