♄ Description.
THis being sown of Seed, riseth up at the
first with smal, long, narrow hairy dark
green Leavs like grass, without any division or
gash in them; but those that follow are ga∣shed

four gashes, and pointed at the ends, resem∣bling
the Knags of a Bucks Horn (wherof it
took the name) and being well grown round
about the Root upon the ground, in order one
by another therby resembling the form of a
Star: from among which rise up divers hairy
Stalks, about a hand breadth high, bearing e∣very

of the common Plantane, having such like
Bloomings and Seed after them. The Root

it.
