This Ladies-bed-straw rises up with several small, brown
and square, upright Stalks, a Yard high, or more; sometimes branch'd forth into many Parts, full of Joints, and with several very small, fine Leaves at every one of them, little, or not at all rough. At the Tops of the Branches grow many long Tufts, or Branches of yellow Flow∣ers, set very thick together, one above another; they smell pretty strong and re∣sinous. The Seed is small, and black; and two, for the most part, joyn'd toge∣ther. The Root is red∣dish, and has many small Fibres.
The Tops of it turn Milk, like Rennet. The Herb, or the Powder of it, stops Bleeding; and is commended for Cancerous Ulcers.
