'Tis a very curious Plant, consisting of a small, whitish Root. The Stalks are a Foot, or two Foot high, round, and hairy. The Leaves are plac'd al∣ternately; they are some∣what red, and fat under, and taste a little acrid and bitterish. The little Flowers come out of the Wings of the Leaves, and they are of two Colours, partly white, and partly purple; five or seven green, hairy Leaves en∣compass the bottom of them.
This Plant is seldom us'd in Physick, but is preserv'd in Gardens for the Beauty of its Flower. Those Things that are affirm'd of the Virtue of this Plant a∣gainst Apparitions, Enchant∣ments and Sorcery, are fri∣volous, superstitious, and wholly fabulous.
