The Places and Time.

The first groweth by the side waies, and Lanes in many places, and for its use∣fulnesse is taken into some Gardens, and so is the second, but it groweth natu∣rally only in Denmark in the fields between Cronemberg, and Hafnia, neer Else∣more. The third and fourth grow but in some places of our own Country, so that one shall hardly find a plant in a great way. The fifth in many places of Kent, Surrey, Essex and elsewhere. The sixth is also sometimes to be found wild abroad; but yet scarcely to be met with, and indeed unlesse one well exercised in the knowledge of plants do light upon it and know it, it will be scarce regard∣ed by a great many others. The seventh, was found by Lobel neer the ruines of

an old Church at Bathe in England. The eighth groweth at Padoa or therea∣bouts: and the last in Syria, as by its title doth appear. They all flower in June and July, and bring forth their seed the second year after the sowing, except the two last, of whose time we cannot resolve you.
