Description.
THis riseth up with a thick round
Stalk about two foot high, where∣on
do grow thick fat green Leaves,
nothing so large as the other Indi∣an
kinds, somwhat round pointed also, and
nothing dented about the edges: The Stalk
brancheth forth, and beareth at the tops divers
Flowers set in green Husks, like the other
but nothing so large, scarce standing above
the Brims of the Husks, round pointed also,
and of a greenish yellow colour. The Seed
that followeth is not so bright, but larger, con∣tained
in the like great Heads. The Roots are
neither so great, nor woody, and perishing e∣very
yeer with the hard Frosts in Winter, but
riseth generally of its own sowing.
