Description.
THis is but an Herb every yeer dying with
his Stalks to the ground, and rising again
afresh every Spring; and is like unto the El∣ders
both in form and quality, rising up with
a four square rough hairy Stalk four foot high
or more somtimes. The winged Leavs are
somwhat narrower than the Elder, but els very
like them. The Flowers are white with a dash
of Purple standing in Umbels, very like the
Elder also, but more sweet in scent, after which
come smal blackish Berries, full of Juyce while
they are fresh, wherein there lie smal hard
Kernels or Seed. The Root doth creep under
the upper crust of the ground, springing a∣fresh
in divers places being of the bigness of
ones finger or Thumb somtimes.
