Flowering-Fern, or Os∣mond-royal, in Latin Filix
florida, or Osmonda regalis.
It shoots forth, in the
Spring, divers rough, hard
Stalks, half round, and hol∣lowish,
flat on the other
side, two Foot high; hav∣ing
several Branches of
winged, yellowish green
Leaves on all sides, some∣what
like the Leaves of
Polypody. From the top
of some of the Stalks grows
a long Bush of small, green,
scaly Aglets, which are
counted the Flowers and
Seeds. The Root is rough,
thick and scaly, with a
white Pith. It grows in
Marshy Places, and a∣mongst
Woods, in many
Parts of England.
The Root cures Bursten
Bellies, and Ulcers. It
does good in the Cholick,
and Diseases of the Spleen.
The whitish part of the
Root is very effectual for
Bruises, and those that
are wounded, it being
boyl'd in some Liquor.
'Tis excellent in the Ric∣kets,
a Conserve being
made of the tender Buds
of it, and of Asparagus.
Spleen-wort and Harts-tongue.
