Salicis tertium genus.
SAlix is named in Grebe Itia / in English a Wyllowe tre or a Sallow tre / & in ye Northren speache a Saugh tre / in Duch / Ein weiden baum / in Frenche vn Saulge. Salix as Colu¦mella writeth is deuided in to two principal kinds: the one is called perticalis / ye other is called viminalis. Perticalis Salix is ye great willow tre / which hath long rodes growing on it. Viminalis is an oyster tre / such as bryng furth roddes / yt baskattes ar made of. Viminalis is of diuers sortes. The first is called Salix greca / the second gallica: the thyrde Sabina. Salix greca which is yelowe in color / gro∣weth much in East Fresland about a cytye called Anrik. Salix gallica which hath rede twigges / groweth in many places of Englande and Ger∣many also. Salix sabina which is also called amerina / groweth onely in Italy and in East Fresland / so far as I haue founde hetherto.
The vertues of the willow tre.
THe sede / the leaues and the barke / and the iuyce of the willowe tre haue poure and vertue to binde together.
The leaues broken and with a litle pepper dronken in wine / are good for the Iliaca passio / or the gnawing of the small goutes.
The sede broken / is good for them that spitte blood / & the barke is good

for ye same purpose: the same barke burned & knoddē wt vinegre / & layd to em¦plasterwise / taketh awaye harde lumpes / & litle swellinges like nayle hedes.
The iuyce of the leaues and the barke / made hote in the pill of a pomgra¦nat with rose oyle / healeth the ake of the eares / the broth of the same is good to bathe goutye places / and to be poured vpon the same: the same driueth a∣waye scurfe and scales: the tyme of taking of the iuyce of it is / when that it floureth by cutting of the barke: this hath poure to scoure awaye those thin∣ges / which bringe darcknes vnto the apple of the eye.
Out of Galene.
A Man may well vse the leaues of the willow tre for to glew woundes together / the moste part of Physiciones vse the floures of the willowe tre most of all for the preparing of a drying emplaster / for the poure therof is to drye / for besyde that it byteth not / it hath also a certayn binding / ther are certayn also / whiche presse out the iuyce of it / & kepe it as a medicine with∣out all byting and drying vp very profitable for many thinges / for ye cā not finde any thinge more profitable for many thinges thē a medicine is / which drieth without byting / & doth binde a litle / but the barke hath ye like poure / with the floures and the leaues: but that it is of a dryer complexion as all barkes be. Som men do burne the barke and vse the ashes of it / for all thin∣ges that had nede of a mighty dryer.
