The Places and Time.

All these Plants which I have named, are said to grow within the Dominions of England, those which are Outlandish being omitted; The first groweth in divers Countreys of this Land upon dry Banks, and Wood-sides, and other places where the ground is sandy, and particularly in Prey-wood by St. Albans very plentifully, where there be a great many good Simples besides; the third was found upon St. Vincents Rock neer Bristoll, by Mr. Goodyer; the fifth in a Field neer unto Bar•• Elmes in Surrey; the other three grow in divers Corn-fields about Southfleet in Kent, abundantly, as also about Buckworth, Hamerton, and Richwersworth, in Huntingdon-shire, and in divers other places: They flower in June and July, and their Seed is ripe in August, that of the Female kind withering presently after.
