This Plant I take for a varigated Herb Paris, True Love or One Berry, or rather One Flower, which is milk white, and made up with four Leaves, with many black threads in the middle, upon every thread grows a Berry (when the Leaves of of the Flower are fallen) as big as a white pease, of a light red colour when they are ripe, and clustering together in a round form as big as a Pullets Egg, which at di∣stance shews but as one Berry, very plea∣sant in taste, and not unwholsome; the Root, Leaf, and Flower differ not from our English kind, and their time of bloo∣ming and ripening agree, and therefore doubtless a kind of Herba Paris.
