The greater Stitch-wort, hath sundry, round slender stalks, rising from the Root, scarce able to sustain themselves, but by the help of the hedges, or other things that grow near it, with two small, long, hard, rough, and pointed Leaves at each of them: at the tops whereof stand many small Flowers, composed of white Leaves, standing like a Starre, with some white threds in the middle: the Root runneth, or creepeth in the ground, all about, with many small Fibres thereat.
