The Places and Time.

The first groweth upon Putney Heath, as also upon Barnes Common, and in di∣vers other moist and watery places of this Land, but for its usefulnesse it is brought up and cherished in Gardens. The second is not so frequent as the for∣mer, yet it is said to grow very plentifully in Essex, in divers places of the high∣way betwixt London and Cholc••ester, and in other parts thereof; The third is said to be a spontaneall of our owne Land, but taken notice of only by the curi∣ous; The fourth groweth in Piedmont, and the fift about Mompelier in France ve∣ry plentifully; The last grew in the Garden at Padoa, but whence it came is not recorded. They flower about August, and sometimes later.
