The wild Chervil groweth two or three foot high, with yellow Stalks and Joynts, set with broader and more hairy Leavs, divided into sundry parts nicked about the edges, and of a darker green colour, which likewise grow red∣dish with the Stalks; at the tops wherof stand smal white tufts of Flowers & afterwards sma∣ler and longer seed: The Root is white, hard, and enduring long. This hath little or no scent.
