The Places and Time.

The first groweth in divers places of this Land, in the open places of Woods and Copses, both in moyst and dry grounds; but especially in Hampsteed-VVood, near unto the Gate that leadeth out of the Wood, unto a Village called Kentish-Town, not far from London: in a Wood by Rayleigh in Essex; in Southfleet also, and in Swanscombe-Wood near Gravesend. The second is not so frequent, yet that is found also in some places of Hampsteed-VVood, though sparingly. The last came from America, as the Title shews. The first flowreth later then the second, which is about July, and the other in the beginning or middle of August; the last also flowreth very late.
