There are .ii. kindes of the herbe called Aconitum, the one kynde is called Pardali∣anches, whiche we may call in englishe Li∣hardbayne or one bery. It is much in Nor∣thumberland in a wodde besyde Morpeth called Cottingwod. It hath foure leaues lyke vnto great plātaine, & in the ouermost top a litle blacke bery lyke a blacke morbe∣ry, but blacker & greater. The other kynde is called Lycoctonum, & in englishe it maye be called wolfes bayne. But this kynde is deuided into two other kyndes, of whiche I neuer sawe any kynde in Englande, the one hath leaues lyke crowfote, and blewe floures lyke hodes, and it is called muench kappen in duche, and it maye be called in englishe mōkes coule or blewe wolfsbaine. The other kinde hath leaues like a playne tree or like Palma christ & yelowe floures, thys maye be called in Englishe yelowe wolfesbayn. I haue sene the former kind in great plentie vpon the alpes betwene Cla∣uena & Spelunca, and in manye gardines in Brabant, the latter kynde dyd I neuer se but in gardines.
