The Forme.

Sea-Houseleek, hath divers long fleshy pale green Leaves, of the thicknesse of ones finger, with divers hard dents or points on both sides of them, and pointed at the ends likewise, the one enclosing the other at the bottom, and standing round, the outermost bending for the most part backwards: from the middle of which ariseth a short thick stalk little more then a foot high, bearing many small bottle-like flowers. It beareth seed in husks like unto an Asphodil after the flowers are past; the root is thick and about a foot long, or lesse within the ground, shooting out some thick Fibres at the end.
